The new X-Plane 12 flight simulator is now open and available for public access. It is essentially a new simulation which dovetails well with the X-Plane 11 scenery.
The new weather engine is much more realistic and the particle modeling for clouds is amazing. Also, the new trees are able to sway in the breeze.
The reflection of trees in still water across the landscape is very convincing. This scenery is an add-on orthographic landscape that replaced the default scenery that comes with the simulator.
Here, I am flying a Dart Kitten over Old Warden Aerodrome, which is a convincing model of the real thing.
The water modeling is also a significant step forward. Lake surfaces are no longer flat and the water also has depth when seen from above.
After the issues with the beta testing, it is nice to use the sim which is now free of major issues. I can now consider adapting all of my scenery to fit in with the X-Plane 12 model, only 200 airport models to adjust - should have that sorted by next Christmas!
