Very useful information! Thanks for that, after using MSFS I find myself going back to X-Plane 11 as I prefer realism over eye candy! You have given us great options to explore
Thank you! I also found myself going back to X-Plane for the higher fidelity aircraft and realism. I'll make a video at some point on how to improve the graphics in X-Plane 11.
@@caribbaviator7058 I've been using X-Plane again quite a lot recently. While MSFS is a great looking sim, it's still in it's infancy and I await for what the future has in stock for the sim and hope it comes to be a great competitor against the other sims, you know, more competition the better right. Personally though, I find that using both sims is fine and I just tend to use whatever sim has the aircraft I want to fly. I recently got the Aerosoft CRJ and have been liking it so far, it's honestly great! Let's hope for a great future for simulators as a whole. Thanks for commenting!
I feel like this channel should have at least 10k subs. This is my first video I watched on this channel and I really like it. Keep up the great content! 👍
This is a nice video which shows wide range of freeware aircraft. There is something there for every taste. Older aircraft, smaller aircraft, and more modern ones, the sr22 by "Hold my beer" is freeware but there is option to make a donation to a charity on their page. I have had lots of fun with the sr22, well detailed and fun to fly. Bob
I don‘t know but no one ever mentions the AN24 and the YAK40, these are also freeware aircrafts and they are very realistic. The textures aren‘t the best because these are older models, but you have a very realistic cockpit and also a ground handling.
I haven’t personally given these two a try. I’d love to include more aircraft in these types of lists, however, I try to keep them as concise as I can so sadly I had to stop at some point! I’ll be sure to give those two a try when I get the chance!
Excellent video, also i'm wondering what is the visual enhancement that you are using? those clouds and sky colours everything blend in so well, they are easy on the eyes while at the same time giving your sim a stunning realistic look.
Hey, thanks for the comment, and glad you liked the video! The addon being used for visual enhancement was just Enhanced Skyscapes, which can be found on the Threshold store for USD$15 but is on sale for USD$12 right now. store.thresholdx.net/products/enhanced-skyscapes
Hi there! It's Enhanced Skyscapes which used to be purchasable from the Threshold store. The developer, however, has removed it due to getting a full time job at Laminar Research so it is no longer available to purchase. There is a free version which albeit it limited, does give volumetric clouds. You can find that here: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/65005-enhanced-cloudscapes/
Hi, please try using the ZIBO Updater website to download the latest full version of the ZIBO mod and any subsequent patches. There is a link in the main page of ziboupdater.net/ I also have a video on how to install the ZIBO using the ZIBO updater available on my channel which you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/HHZgAvRsKno/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hiya. The scenery is called Machmell Fisheries made by PropStrike Studios and is available for free from their official website at propstrikestudio.com/products/fisheries.
A2A make some great aircraft and luckily they are going to bring some of their aircraft to MSFS which I personally find to be a better VFR simulator than X-Plane. Shame they can’t bring them to X-Plane though for IFR use as that’s where I find X-Plane shines.
@@VKNorthern I bought X-Plane 11 because it was cheaper than MSFS, and my GPU isn’t going to handle it. Compared to the A2A C172, the default 172 on X-Plane was like buying a $10 cake, because I find starting it up as cheap and easy.
@@kesseli_guy95 Yeah X-Plane has a really great Cessna 172 and if you want to make it even more realistic, I can highly recommend the REP pack for the Default C172 from SimCoders or if you want a custom C172 there is always the airfoillabs. All of them are great options!
Hey David, If you want the B-17, you first need to enter an amount for how much you would like to pay for it. You can either enter 0 if you want to obtain it for free or you can enter an amount if you want to support the developer but you are not obligated to pay anything just type 0 to get it free. Then you need to click "I want this!" and it will then allow you "purchase" the plane for 0 dollars, at which point you check the email you provided for a download link. If you have any more questions please ask!
Hi! A couple of questions so I can hopefully help you better. Have you first installed a full version and then patched it with the latest patch? What version of X-Plane 11 are you currently using? Are you using Steam or standalone? Do you get any errors when installing with the ZIBO Updater?
Hi! The ziboupdater is an updater designed for the Zibo mod. The original download link for the Google Drive seemed to have dissapeared however if you go to that site and click "Download Zibo Mod" it will let you download the full version and the latest patch (which both must be downloaded if you have not installed it previously). I have a tutorial on my UA-cam channel on how to use the Zibo Updater if it is something you are interested in getting as it makes the download process much easier and is totally free to use!
Hi there! It seems I'm going to have to redirect the ZIBO link as the drive link doesn't seem to work anymore. You can get the ZIBO mod from the ziboupdater website at ziboupdater.net/ where you then click on "Download ZIBO Mod" then click on the relevant links.

Hi BcouS, Those are also excellent freeware aircraft! However, I wanted to keep this video from dragging on too long and the ZIBO 737 provides a similar experience (albeit not a MAX but decently close). The 737 MAX Project, however, is excellent and I would have put it on the list if time was not an issue. Thanks for your comment!

Hey I was wondering what dirt strip was used in 4:25?
Hiya. The scenery is called Machmell Fisheries made by PropStrike Studios and is available for free from their official website at propstrikestudio.com/products/fisheries.
put Xplane as the game played in the game section while uploading it is set as MSFSX
Oh I thought it was already set haha. Thanks for letting me know I’ll have that changed!
can anyone help, ive noticed that all the planes i fly, always veer to the left, is there a way to fix this???
Adjust your trim inside the aircraft
I feel like the only drawback in X-Plane 11 is that A2A doesn’t have any aircraft made for the sim.
A2A make some great aircraft and luckily they are going to bring some of their aircraft to MSFS which I personally find to be a better VFR simulator than X-Plane. Shame they can’t bring them to X-Plane though for IFR use as that’s where I find X-Plane shines.

@@VKNorthern checkout AirfoilsLabs C-172 NG Digital. It looks way better than the A2A equivalent. Available for Xplane 11 & 12
