Orbx is working on a high definition Florida scenery add on for X-Plane. Who else is excited about this? I wonder how quickly this is going to melt my graphics card!

I am happy with the Ortho scenery I put together, a long time ago, for Florida with high detail around the airports I was very interested in at the time. Having the detail that this preview shows is wonderful and I am looking forward to trying this when it is released.

Introducing TrueEarth Florida for XP11 - with new TrueColour technology!

WELCOME TO THE SUNSHINE STATE! The sun beats down on the state of Florida all year giving it its common name of the Sunshine State. The state flower is the orange blossom which aptly celebrates this beautiful part of the world. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on ...

There is a lot of hype around MSFS 2020 but I like the way X-Plane looks.

The results have been posted for the 2019 FlightSim Community Survey hosted by Navigraph.

Regardless of which simulator is most popular or the type of flying you do here at Simspotting we look forward to you sharing your enthusiasm of your hobby.

What are your thoughts on the survey and the results?

Are you considering flying around the Miami area in late January and early February and want to follow the restrictions real world pilots will have to endure? I'm tabulating sites and information that may be of relevance related to the security restrictions placed for the 2020 NFL Super Bowl. Feel free to add to this list.

“Our new winter hotspot — the Runway Chalet at The Pool Bar — is a cozy 1960s après ski-themed winter getaway, complete with a vintage fireplace! The heated and tented rooftop bar serves seasonal cocktails (try the Idlewild Hot Toddy: spiced rum and hot apple cider garnished with a cinnamon stick) and warming fare. Fondue, anyone?”

Another post regarding this from AOPA:

Forbes reports that the FAA is looking into BlackBird's method of business. I think this will be interesting to see how Black Bird fairs.

I have been flying the (X-Plane 11 default) Baron 58 (G1000 with REP) with the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and am having trouble trimming the aircraft. I am not sure if this is just an issue with the plane or the combination of plane and yoke.

I am unable to get it trimmed so that it holds altitude without having to have constant hands on the yoke. It seems to always want to climb or descent ever so slightly. Is this normal behavior?

Has anyone else had this problem with their Alpha yoke?
