February 13, 2025 | 0 comments

We are pleased to inform you that our dedicated reviewer Paul Beckwith has finish his in-depth review of the Orbx Melbourne International Airport (YMML) for X-Plane 12.

According to Paul “ This can be a “must have” airport for airline pilots if they are willing to go the route of installing a plug-in for pushback services or utilize self-powered pushbacks from the gates. High Resolution 5cm/pixel updated imagery – this is very clearly included in the package and has been creatively utilized to enhance the impact of the scenery.”

But there is so much more Paul would like to share with you. Therefore, enough about this. Lets heading for Paul’s review. You can find his comprehensive at X-Plained.Com by clicking this review link. When you are happy with the review or have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.

Aircraft Review | Part 2 – Toliss Airbus A330-900

January 6, 2025 | 0 comments

Your dedicated reviewer, Angelique van Campen, has finished a new ToLiss A330-900 adventure. Angelique planned part 2 of her in-depth review as promised to you and the X-Plane community. That said, X-Plained.Com is pleased to inform you, on behalf of Angelique, that we have published a massive Part 2 – A330-900 Flight Experience review.

According to Angelique, “I can only say that it is an exceptional Airbus creation with many new features. ToLiss aircraft have become a suburb product in all aspects. They are famous for their FBW (Fly By Wire) implementation, the simulation of the FMGS (Flight Management and Guidance System) simulation, the Airbus approval label, high-quality 3D models with ultra-realistic features, and I should not forget the manuals, particularly the tutorial.” With this, your personal reporter Angelique made the Atlantic flight from LPPT (Portugal) to SBGL, Brazil, with a go-around at SBGR.

Try to find a moment to relax, take a cup of coffee or tea, and take a moment to read Angelique’s in-depth Part 2 – A330-900 Flight experience review. Comments and/or suggestions are always welcome.

Scenery Review | Maps2XPlane Tahiti and Windward

January 6, 2025 | 0 comments

Our dedicated reviewer, Paul Beckwith, is back on board and dives directly into a far, warm and beautiful destination …. the Society Islands Tahiti and Windward from Maps2XPlane. According to Paul, “I’d say we have found a scenery package that is well worth the purchase cost. What adds to the value is the developer’s revisiting the package and updating it as needed to maintain compatibility with X-Plane, which we’ve seen them do with every one of their other island packages.”

Paul continues, “We have seen amazing meshwork to define islands that were only vaguely represented in the default XP-12. We have seen amazing land texture work that rivals satellite images and, in some cases, betters it because of its consistency and lack of baked-in cloud images. We have seen the implementation of autogen, which seems to be regionally themed if not entirely spot-on. We have seen a rendering of water features that I, personally, have yet to come across in any other package not done by this developer. We have also seen a few detailed structures rendered in unparalleled realism.”

All together, awesome!
But Paul discovered much more, and therefore, Paul invites you to read his in-depth review. Enjoy, and please feel free to comment.

X-Plained dedicated reviewer and personal reporter Angelique van Campen is pleased to inform you that X-Plained.Com has published a comprehensive review of the ToLiss A330-900, a part of the A330neo models.

According to Angelique, “I can only say that it is an exceptional Airbus creation with many improvements over all previous models, and the A330-900 comes with many new features. ToLiss aircraft have become a suburb product in all aspects. They are famous for their FBW (Fly By Wire) implementation, the simulation of the FMGS (Flight Management and Guidance System), the Airbus approval label, high-quality 3D models with ultra-realistic features, and I should not forget the manuals, in particular the tutorial. They offer you as real as it gets a complete flight with in-depth details and steps to take. In one word, awesome!”

But Angelique has so much more to tell. Please take a moment to read her in-depth A330-900 review. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.

Scenery Review | Orbx TU GB Central XP12

June 26, 2024 | 0 comments

Your personal reporter Angelique van Campen explores the latest Orbx TrueEarth Great Britain packages. This time she explores the Central area. The only problem is that there’s sooooo much to see, so much to find out, but she managed to cover this area and recorded it all together. For you a comprehensive review of the Orbx TU GB Central scenery from East to West, from North to South.

According to Angelique “My conclusion is basically similar to that what I provided a while ago during Orbx True Earth GB for X-Plane 11. The quality and detail is at the same standard across the previous products however, the X-Plane 12 packages are fully optimised for X-Plane 12 and use all the features of X-Plane 12.”

“The standard of presentation certainly is a game changer in terms of flight experience and creates another reason to simply get in a plane and fly. The package not only assists greatly with VFR flight it makes the flight truly immersive adding real atmosphere to the surroundings. Not all buildings are modelled in detail but even those not given special attention are in the correct place and add to the view.”

In other words ….awesome! Check it out via this review link.

Aircraft Review | ToLiss A320neo

April 30, 2024 | 0 comments

We are pleased to announce that your personal reporter Angelique van Campen thoroughly checked for you the ToLiss Airbus A320neo. Angelique tried to find all what the A320neo offers and how it flies, how all systems work but above all, was it all worth the time she put into it.

As usual, Angelique was impressed by this other Airbus aircraft. It was an extraordinary experience and lots of “wow” effects. The modeled A320neo not only looks great, the modeled aircraft systems are extremely accurate modeled and it flies … oh oh … that is so nice to feel, to see and to experience yourself (when you bought it of course).
