Re: Youll see me more in X-Plane after this...
That's all great eye candy, but I couldn't help but notice how quickly they panned away from the exterior landing light view. Lately I've discovered a new pet peeve, and that is aircraft that don't really illuminate the taxiways. How the heck am I supposed to stay on the centerline of the taxiway if I can't see it at night? Eye candy is great, but it doesn't necessarily help me operate the aircraft properly. /2 cents.

Was that some kind of special capability, smoke & mirrors, or does X-Plane give you that much camera control? If I get that much camera control and the panels are that detail, I'm in!
I agree with you Bert. I've got one or two planes that don't like the taxi way when you turn on the taxi lights. I have to turn on the landing lights to get any light on the ground.

Re: Youll see me more in X-Plane after this...
I don't know much about it so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I was of the understanding that X-Plane has always been superior to FS from the aspect of the aircraft flight modeling and panels, but it lacks significantly in the scenery area.
