X-plane.org made a mass e-mail to all forum members to inform us:

" The Breguet 763 with 3D interior. It is the very first airliner in X-Plane with such a detailed cabin. It goes as far as animating the flight attendants!"

I just thought it was funny since people would claim that MSFS is a game, yet a semi-official X-plane channel is kind of showing X-plane is too.

The animated flight attendants is surely a cool feature (provided it's more advanced than the pilots usual animations, I mean), but the interior and virtual cockpit of this plane are no so nice-looking, to say the least :/
However, it's nice to see that the virtual cockpits (and interiors) have become a more and more important feature in XPlane :hrmm:

I find everything about that plane... ghastly. The VC is horrendous... looks like a pre FS2002 VC to me (and yes I know... no VC's prior to FS2002).

I'm iffy on the flight attendants. They get annoying during preflight. :hrmm:

Actually, XPlane can have very nice aircraft, as beautifull, detailled and precise than the FSX ones. It's just that there are not enough serious payware developpers for that simulation... yet.
I don't know if Xplane allows addons like Accusim, though...

You took the words right out of my mouth...

X-Plane to me looks like FS98 on steroids. High Resolution textures and improved terrain.

Oh and how could I forget the same looping JFK ATC Traffic from 2000 that they've had on there for god knows how long.

Completely agree... I've seen some incredible planes and scenery in X-Plane 9 but this isn't even close to their best work. In fact I wouldn't d/l it even if it was freeware.
