- When evaluating AutoOrtho and Sim Heaven for XPlane 12, I could not find any videos that showed the differences, both visually and performance related, with each and both packages installed.
I created this video to contrast the visual and performance impacts for XPlane 12, XPlane 12 with Sim Heaven, XPlane 12 with AutoOrtho and XPlane 12 with AutoOrtho and Sim Heaven. The video shows the startup time, New Flight load time and finally the VFR visual flight impacts benefits so you can judge the value of installing the packages either individually and together. It should be noted that for this video I used AutoOrtho version 0.4.4 as I was unable to get the 0.5.x versions working. Lastly, all flights were done with the same XPlane video settings to allow a true evaluation even though there are some significant frame rate degradation, especially when overflying Manhattan.
For the flight I used the stock XPlane 12, Cessna 172 starting on a 3nm final for runway 31R into KJFK at 1000 ft MSL then overflying KJFK, climbing to 3000MSL and an overflight of Manhattan, NY at 3000 ft MSL. I tried to keep each of the 4 flights as consistent and synchronized as possible, but given that I was hand flying (with the help of an autopilot), there are some minor deviations. To provide the best visual evaluation, I disabled the panel view and used the Sim Innovations PA-28 panel I developed to control the Cessna.
I really hope you find this video of value. Let me know what you think and if you'd like to see more XPlane 12 videos similar to this.
Nice. I can take the conclusion that x-plane standart is getting very good. I imagine that the greate brain Ben Supnik will surprise us all with a inovative way of change the scenery.
One of my pet hates is the ammount of trees, as you fly lower you will see almost every house has around 2 or more trees in the garden, in some areas it looks like they built a town inside a forest.
It's a shame default X-Plane 12 has to look so bad, it's the only way to run VR without massive frame losses. If only Microsoft could make MSFS look less toy-ish in the UI department and stop the stupid marketing tie-ins that make it feel even more like a game. MSFS is beautiful but it doesn't feel good, atleast to me.
Yeah, same for me. I have got both sims and msfs just feels a game and also look like one. The graphics are good but it does't look real and the immersion is not the same like in XP12.
You can add PC configuration in your video description. That will add value too. Also, please consider upgrading your video quality to at least HD if not 4K.
He listed his PC config at the very start of the video. Man, you should be a Hollywood director or something, you have so many ideas for other peoples' videos!
What about adding Orbx Global Forests and disabling Simheaven tree folder for each world region. The problem I am having is the authortho keep inserting itself at the scenery.ini file then none of my Simheaven scenery works. This has happened since I have used WinSRF for authoortho and was reinstalled SAM.
Maybe it's my crappy work monitor but I can't see a massive difference.
When I use autoortho I lose internet allover the house,I don’t get it.
3000mps internet and this still happens
this is good but msfs still light years far.
yeah, if you're still a kid, playing on xbox, with a game
@@Kreemerz the delusional thinks that msfs is a game in 2024
Nice load times, and the Xplane fanboys kept bashing me for not installing AutoOrtho, not to mention the poor quality of the Orthos 🤣🤣🤣
Btw, if this was NY I could never tell until the final part of the video.... (with those 2 buildings standing in the distance)
Autoortho shines in depopulated areas as the default textures for those areas are a joke. In dense areas like new York, the vast majority of the ground is covered by objects.
@ceilaz7861 I have eyes, I can see. And since I've done work with Graphical applications professionally, I know what is acceptable and looks terrible. These are not opinions but simple facts. If you don't agree with me ask Q8, he'll tell you the same thing and he loves Xplane and custom scenery. You lost your argument that easy.
"With X-Europe and Orbx scenery X-Plane 12 looks even better than MSFS" - Not even close. Watch the comparison videos between MSFS and XPlane and reality, it is quite simple to spot which one is better. Xplane is far behind.
The only thing that comes close is if you have ORBX GB installed, that looks pretty good and comes close to MSFS. Unfortunately, ORBS USA doesn't look as great as GB, probably because the USA regions are much larger and would take much longer to make them look better.
you mean Orbx airports. But orbx does not have all airports for Xplane 12 in the US.@@activex7327
buIIshit.... i used to love x plane but this kind of graphics and autogen on 2023 is unplayable... long live to the future.. long live to msfs20
long live
