Post Scriptum

There are at least 3 of us with PS in the group. I know Wilso has played it

Toying with the idea of buying the QW 787 Dreamliner that just released for P3DV4, but with DCS Hornet releasing next week, I think I'll wait.

People are saying good things about the QW787 . There have been some bugs found but they are on it.

You should make sure your B717 was updated to the latest. A lot of improvements made 

The Dreamliner is definately in my top 3 list of next buy purchases.  I've been making a point to buy planes and flying them till proficiency until getting a new one.  With the hornet releasing there's no point getting the 787 and not touching it for 6 months while I'm totally consumed by the hornet.

I spent a ton of time recently with the 717, it's really come along nicely since release.  After flying the crj, the 717 feels like a Dreamliner.  I did a bunch of Hawaii flights in the 717, Hal has dozens of them that they use to connect all the inter islands.

I'm game for post scriptum but I have no way of knowing how to track down friends in the games interface, you probaly have to coordinate through teamspeak I'd assume.

I hear yah about the aircraft. We keep filling our virtual hangars. I really like the 717. Have you tried any of the Just Flight GA aircraft in X-Plane 11? What about the Zibo 737? The Zibo is an amazing mod for the default 737 https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/138974-b737-800x-zibo-mod-info-installation-download-links/


Not sure how Post Scriptum game coordination works. I will as wilso to look into it

I have the JF piper arrow for P3DV4.  For XP I have the Airfoil Labs C-172, that's it for me for GA.  I'm more into tube liners when I do these non military sims.

The ZIBO mod looks great, I've seen it in youtubes.  Only reason I haven't flown it is that I have the IXEG 737 for XP, so i'd just fly that.  If the ZIBO mod had come out 6months before it did, I'd probably would have never spent 70 bucks on the IXEG...lol.

Also the Photo scenery app in XP is insane, it's like ORBX in XP for free.  If your on a budget and have the time to mod / tweak, XP is the better sim.  I still fly P3D 90% of the time though, the total package is just better....but XP is catching up.

I'm interested to hear about the photo realistic for XP as for the Zibo Mod it's fantastic especially when using the Rift.

I like GA in X-Plane. There is a good "feel".

Scenery is OrthoXP. Beef uses it. It is free.

Oh! Well....that kind of scuppered my gaming goal for the weekend.

Just completed a 90 minute second episode of my 'Crossing the Dnieper' video, only to discover that for some perverse reason Shadowplay had decided not to record any of the system audio.  So, I have a 90 minute silent movie.

I knew there was a problem with Shadowplay and microphone headsets, where it only records the microphone and not the system audio, but I'd accepted that and was planning to do a separate narration recording using Audacity like I did for the first episode. Never expected it to just ignore the audio all together.  Pretty annoyed at the minute, as I can't even replay the episode as I saved over the original save file when I thought I had finished.  So basically it screwed up the entire series.
