I forked over $80- full price- before it went on sale. Ya- I played the demo and was impressed with the weather effects and thought- what the hell. Stupid. This sim doesn’t even support transparent textures- so rain looks like nuclear fallout. The community made models are as bad or good as the community made ones for MSFS. No difference – I don’t care what people say. X-plane is a gimmick. Now enter FS2004. WOW. What a beautiful sim. No clunky interface- ugly terrain or 92’ graphics and the models are just as good or superior to stock X-plane models. X-plane suxs.
