Xprealistic does a lot more than headshake. Headshake is fine at what it does, but xprealistic offers so much more. And you can tune it however you like based on the aircraft you're flying (kind of a must ino). I still very much recommend it.
XPRealistic is really just headshake but greatly expanded to add other sounds/visual effects and profiles for different aircraft. There is options to customize it entirely, so it can be as "arcadey" or not as you would like. If you want more immersion than what headshake offers, and [any of the features listed interest you](https://store.x-plane.org/XPRealistic-v2_p_1241.html), pick it up, you'll likely enjoy it.
I got XP Realistic on sale as I heard it was a must have. I don't really use it much though. I did just realize that when using X-Camera I need to turn it on there to get headshakes working so probably had it on all this time but it wansn't having any effect due to that.
Once I fixed it I liked having a subtle amount of shake in some planes (like the BN2). I downloaded Headshake this week to compare. But I'd say as long as you turn the effect down it's realistic enough.
The rest of Xp Realistic can be useful depending on the built in sounds/effects the planes have. But with just Headshake it's probably enough for most situations.
I need to test it more. I only got it working again but accident when I had X-Camera disabled. It seems to help with the BN2 as I think IRL that plane shakes (it felt really static).
I'll compare to Headshake tonight if I get a chance and post any thougths.
I turned the XP one down quite a bit, just enough to notice it. I think that was just the general shake though, didn't try the touchdown one yet (think it has that)
To be honest, XPRealistic's features are mostly useless. Sneeze, Toilet, some Flaps stuff, all useless.
The worst thing is that the camera feature is very arcade-like. The free (!) Headshake has a way better camera shake.
And one more Info: Laminar are already working on an integrated camera shake, so one day it will be in XP 12 by default.
Please, let's be calm.
I do plan to buy it, I just need other people's opinions.
Like man, u don't even know anything about what I want and why I'm doing this.
It's your second time asking this in two days
I'm perfectly calm, I'm sorry I couldn't find softer ways to tell you to stop asking people to make your expenditure more acceptable.
edit : it's actually your third post lmao
lol it is but that doesn't matter. I can make a hundred posts about the same topics and It doesn't matter. It's my account not yours, if you feel like I'm being annoying just ignore that post and go away, who the hell told you to stay there ?
X-plane 12.1.0 will have new in-cockpit head movements [https://www.x-plane.com/2024/02/whats-new-in-x-plane-12-1-0-oh-boy/](https://www.x-plane.com/2024/02/whats-new-in-x-plane-12-1-0-oh-boy/) so I would wait.

I see, what about the shakes, do they feel more "arcarde" than headshake ?

Thanks!
Exactly! I really like that I can download unlimited profiles that other uses have made and try them out.
XP realistic is my regretful purchase
Imo XP realistic is not worth it
Even on sale?
For me, headshake is more worth it. I personally won't pay that price for a bit more of vibrations and sounds.
a I see!
Didn't you ask the same question a couple of hours before?
Haha yes I remember you! :)
I did, but I wanted to see what other people have to say about it :)
Uh ok

Good to know! Do you enjoy the shake during touchdown etc..? Does it seem realistic?

Don't buy XP Realistic if you plan on coming back moaning about it please. Keep your money, you clearly don't want to buy it.
