@ysfsim I absolutely agree with you! Regardless to my actual preferences, I myself am "following" XP11!

First of all thank you for your feedback. Yes indeed, I need the graphics - most of us need it - but I also need the proper flight model and systems, the proper environment and weather and the proper interaction between all those etc. etc. leading to an immersive experience, which I do not get in XP11 anymore, thus hoping for xE to fill at least part of that shortcoming. I understand you, having maybe a lot of add on, making your XP11 according to your need/preference, thus you like to use it as your prime sim, on the other side experts are praising MSFS, which you have mentioned, for the "impossible detail of its 1:1 world map" and that the "simulation model is more detailed than it's ever been". However the discussion about the so called "flight dynamics" is a subjective one and proper scientific comparison missing so far. Also with the arrival of 3rd party products in MSFS the system depth will be automatically implemented. Having said that, I do hope, respectively I am sure that XP11 will be further developed; meanwhile I am certainly looking forward to "fly" again in it's xEnviro environment in the near future. BTW I have installed 4 flight simulator games. Cheers

What is not true? Yes, it was on the roadmap, it has been a three year project etc. and overdue...I am pretty much sure that the arrival of MSFS certainly triggered an additional urgency to get over with it and get it released...however I do not want to get into speculations. I am happy that there is now real competition out there; I will certainly not fool myself with self imposed propaganda due to the fact that I have a lot of add on for XP11, which is for ME today quite outdated. My main problem is the unacceptable weather, the environment - no not only the looks - and therefore I am certainly hoping for xEnviro...

I am a big fan of xEnviro...to be honest, one of the main reasons for me to use XP11 was in fact xE. Regardless to my actual preference due to reasons or facts important to me, I will only go back to XP11.50 (OGL), once xE 1.14 is "alive". As I always say, flight happens in the skies not on the ground, therefore a proper weather engine mandatory; XP11 lacks this since it's existence and due to any reason, LR has never addressed it, most probably due to other priorities and also limitations. Worse than that is the fact that LR does not really open up some "doors" for developers like those who have created xE or even others. Sorry to say so, but I feel that due to lack of real competition the creator of XP11 was maybe a little bit too relaxed. The sudden announcement of the revival of MSFS last year still did not really trigger any urgency to react and only once the arrival of MSFS was imminent, Vulkan was implemented by force due to urgency of the actual situation, to be followed by the official LR/XP11 announcements that Austin is NOW working on the next generation weather engine and rest of the team on the next generation XP scenery etc. Having said that, I would like to mention that I have something over 70 add-on for XP11, 7 add-on for the weather; from those 70 add-on I can say that I really do not need 50 of them at all and I consider them just as an "investment' into my beloved "flight simming" hobby per se, as a whole. From those weather add-on, only xE made me really happy, be it the version 1.06, 1.07 with all those new features adding huge immersion and after the transition period the phenomenal 1.10 - 1.13. Not even the excellent Toliss A319 or A321 would make me go back to XP11 at it's actual state in comparison with other technologies and due to my personal preferences/priorities, but xE would. I am now patiently waiting for the update. I hope that in the future xE will have more "effects" on the behavior of the aircraft due to weather situation, wind and turbulence. That would make flying more "meaningful" less sterile, more immersive, maybe more "real". @Captain Kitten keep up the good work on this awesome product and always thank you for your transparent, firm updates for a long time, be it here or on FB.
