I got the demo of X-Plane 10 installed or will they call it X-PLANE-X (hope
not)

I am really impressed with what I see. It does NOT have Orbx quality scenery
by any means, but very pleasing to the eye.

I am still working to get some keystrokes to match those I frequently use in
FS10. I do NOT like the way the helicopter flies in XPlane. I doubt the
FS10 or XP10 helicopters are anything like real. But I certainly prefer
FS10 helos. I don't seem to have any ATC? I pressed the assigned key and a
window pops up for Flight Plan! Maybe I have turned it off. Need to check
the settings.

Welllllll. Don't give them too much credit for the brighter colors. I use
Irfanview (free at irfanview.com) for my photos and have for 10 years or
more. I can easily enhance the color saturation and sharpness of the screen
cap, and I usually do so when posting. The colors of the screen caps always
look a little 'less bright' than what I see in the sim, so I just do a bit
of enhancements.

I watched a lot of the pre-release X-Plane demos that they did in Germany just a couple weeks ago.
ATC wasn't working at the time of that demo. The developer said that a number of features would not
be included in the initial release because he wanted to get X-Plane 10 out before Christmas. ATC may
be one of those features that will be included in a later release. He said that there would be an
X-Plane 10.5 in the, fairly, near future.

I'm interested in how it performs? How far can you turn up the various features?
