How I feel about upcoming X-Plane 12

Laminar Research (XPlaneOfficial) has been showing off X-Plane 12 screenshots and previews in their recent announcement keynote, revealing new volumetric clouds and an updated graphics engine. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 as things evolve.

I clicked and watched the whole video thinking it would be one of those channels with a million subscribers, and i am shocked to see you only have 40. this video is fantastic and i hope you get the recognition you deserve.

Very fair and balance perspective of X Plane 12. Best video I seen so far. Keep up the good work.

I’m excited to see someone has content of flight simulator and aerodynamic explain. Awesome job mate.

[WillLeingang]

So many great clips and very well edited! Looking forward to it as well.

X-Plane has been slow to innovate for years. I'm so glad MSFS 2020 came out. It lights a fire under Austin's behind to pick up the pace and improve their product. X-Plane still has the physics and I still enjoy flying it, but I'm not a pilot irl. I need visuals that please me and X-Plane is bland unless you buy 100's in add-ons

now this is what we call content for a 500 subscriber channel, you deserve way more!

This is a really well put together video - well done. I think it pretty much reflects my own thoughts about flight simulators.
I really appreciate your enthusiastic and positive tone at expressing your opinion.
I think would should be thankful for the developers that produce those amazing products. I have been a simmer for more than 15 years and I have seen the developments in time.
Keep these videos coming and looking forward for your review once XP12 is out.

You sound like a million subscriber channel. Came to the comments to see if anybody else noticed you weren’t and I’m glad I’m not the only one. Very well made video and love your professional sounding voice over. Hope you receive many more subs!

I have been testing X-plane since version 6.50, my first MFS was 98, and I still think that X-plane is still much superior in flight dynamics even now, for me the important thing is to simulate the flight, landscapes and visual aspects are secondary to me, although everything can be improved

I expected your subscriber count to be huge, and when I looked it's "only" 245. That's crazy to me. This channel will blow up for sure. Very high quality content.

[vitormd]

This video is amazing! I'm pretty impressed that it's not a big channel but yet the quality stands up to many of the "big" channels in the flightsim community. Keep going, you nailed it this time, i bet you will keep nailing it in future videos!

[OrlandoAvgeek]

quality from such a small channel!!! I can't wait to see you blow up in the future! (I subbed)

[Donity]

amazing video, deserved every last view. That's how you get attention as a small youtuber! Incredible

[itz_ivogameryt]

Hey man I loved the video, and I think your channel is going to be a sensation in the future. You'll do great!!

[singhamaninder]

Channels with Millions of Subs couldn't hold me for 2-3 minutes, I thought I have some disorder like ADHD, turns out I needed quality. Such a Great Video

[joaobettu]

Really enjoying the videos. Great work!

[DarthWindu]

Ayyy another glider pilot that’s excited about the clouds! You love to see it, glad to know i’m not alone😄

[antoniomaruge]

Thank you for this video..🙏🏼 I love xplane 11 and can’t wait for xplane 12 to get here.

[dannymiester]

It definetely needs updated visuals, if they get that right it could be amazing and it might make me switch from fs2020, although fs2020 looks amazing I am getting fed up with the things that are still missing, or the things we had but are not now working properly like the ai traffic for example, and the constant updates that break the sim

[What_If_We_Tried]

Excellent video and appreciate your engineering expertise that you bring to your analysis. * subscribed
