One thing that irks me about XP is its ground handling . it still seems poor in XP 11 . For instance , the wheels seems to make that skidding noise a lot , even when on the takeoff run at high speed you can hear it in this videoAlso , I ' m all up for realistically sloped runways , but the way the aircraft reacts to the slopes seems too exaggerated . Instead of the aircraft just running along the slope , it seems to use the mid point of the curve as a ski jump which will lift the nose wheel off the ground slightly . You can also see this happening in this video . All in all I think XP is a fine simulator , I just cannot make the change over to it just yet from FSX due to these annoyances . <| sep |> It ' s the colour of the leaves , the reflection from the tarmac , the alienness of it all because it ' s a different country . It ' s the steam coming off the pond . The foliage you ' re not familiar with . It all combines .
