There was error in the procedure for RNZ 26 approach - over NANIT 15000A, over RTT 15000A too, then too steep descent. After update is all OK. Over NANIT 15000A, over RTT 9500A. Tested, working perfectly now, speedbrake is not needed. F*** **f Navigraph.

You seriously prefer that kind of clouds over FG? To each his own I guess...

Still.the same debate and same pictures .
Just try sometimes to show here the good pictures you got from Fg ( those you put in sotm) and the bad from fsx and you do comparaisons ,it will be more impartial ;)

Speaking of clouds, if you know how to use advance weather , they are a thousands times better in Fg than on your last Fsx pictures.
I must say I admire you how you manage to stay on a sim ( Fg) where you seem to not like 90 pour-cent of it

Well , you know what I mean with your “ still better than “
You are strong to show us bad pictures of fg ( basic weathers clouds for the first one and a very specific spot with no overlays for the last one ) .
But with a bit of correct settings , you manage to have some nice things like others ( Grand Canyon for example after 5 pages)

Based on the comments and screen shots, V12 seems primarily referring to scenery itself, i.e. specifically the lack of photo scenery ?
Again, that's a very different discussion. The osgEarth stuff can also look very compelling depending on your altitude and daylight/weather settings.

Sure. One of us forced you to do some FSX shots and post them in a FG forum, at the same time pressuring you into showing bad FG screenshots and complaining how lousy in comparison FG is - you had nothing to do with any of this yourself and would have avoidedit if you could... :D

Or let me ask you like that - what do you hope to accomplish in a Flightgear-dedicated forum by praising FSX and talking down on FG? What is the reaction you generally expect?

FlightGear is certainly far from perfect, and it is facing many interesting challenges - but it's also not subject to the same pressure/dynamics that commercial/proprietary products are subject to.
In other words, depending on your preferences and focus, you can look at FlightGear as an imperfect POS or as a sandbox/playground - i.e. to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

I will never get over the fact that PMDG is selling a 737 at premium price that doesn't even have correctly sized interior cockpit windows.

LOL that was mostly the initially estimated product cycle of SMSFX, I've said stimated, but there were 5 year's till people change to new hardware available, just only for that. Then 5 years with broken registeMrS, + 5 year without not on rails aircraft, after that, they launched another scam film called MFlightS, and so on , and so on.

PMDG Businnes partners? or just victim partner?
Or both?

The rest is history.

The state of simulation hobby was pretty much disturbed AFTEfs9r, An urgent solution was needed, it was FGY96. FG Flightgear Free Flight Simulator. Born to be a free alternative to the commercial flight simulation games.
Is almost 2020 and what our dear community have achieved is spectacular.

Don't search the X just try the F.

X means slavery, F means freedom to copy to change and to distribute.
Being not either programmer or artist we can not criticize the way FG looks, even less in comparative grievance with some other "games".
