The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

I'm in 12.3.0-b2, and noticed that whenever I start a flight in the region of Portugal, which is UTC+1 right now, but on the UTC-0 reference region, the day is always one less than IRL. For instance I am starting a flight from LPPT and I have Day=17/SEP/2025 ... If I try to manually set the day / time I can set 18/SEP/2025, but the moment I switch to "Real-world date & time" the day switches back to 17/SEP/2025... I then unticked the "Freeze time when paused" and, voilá! got my current date and time working again ! So if during a session we use the "Pause", even unpausing after that creates a memory of the date when the session was frozen, and from…

Just came across this today. Seems to be getting near to release. His other helos are very good - his Bell 407 being one of my all time favorites. Can hardly wait to check this one out 😃

Hello. Is the addon compatible with the latest XP12 Beta? I read several posts that XP Visual causes CTD. Dev support is said to be very minimal

Hello Xplane12 with Ortho4xp and Simheaven is great , looks like it time to delete my FSX with Orbx , FC scenery , and Megascenery , i do have a question , is there a tree package available that places the trees in the correct places on top of Ortho tiles ? i see Global forest from Orbx , but is it designed for Orthos or default scenery?

So... this kind of question is asked from time to time, but I believe I have never asked it myself here at the Xp AVSIM forums... The only airliners I have fro Xp12, apart from the default and the free Zibo are two Toliss buses (319 and 32N), the FF A320 Ultimate which I don't even install because it is too problematic / buggy, and the Flight Factor 757 Full Edition. I would like to add a very good airliner to my fleet.... What should it be?

Real 737 Pilot LIVE | British Airways first Concorde Sector | Heathrow – Bahrain | X-Plane 12 I see those black patches too in 12.3 beta :-/, not in all flights, but it happened already a couple times...

No, not the one in the seat next or behind or ahead of you in the aircraft, but rather that MS AI guy 🙂 Here's the question: "I run X-Plane 12.3 beta in a desktop with a Ryzen 5600x, 32 GB RAM (DDR5), a Nvidia RTX 3060Ti (8GB), 1 TB nvme2 SSD for the simulator and a 500 GB nvme2 SSD for the system (win 11). I run it with the option to lock FPS at 30, and my display in 1980 x 1024 @ 60 Hz. What should be my best choice of X-Plane Graphics settings to optimize the display and not putting both the CPU and GPU to stress?" And the answer(s): You've got a solid mid-range setup that can deliver smooth performance in X-Plane 12.3 beta, especially at 1080p with…

Good morning I would like some suggestions about the optimum configurations for the purchase of a new iMac 27" since mine is on Catalina and I can not install X-Plane 12! I need something where I can max all settings to get the very best graphics and smoothness. It is going to be for sure my last purchase since I am 80 years old! 🙂 Thank you for your kind attention Reuland

Kudos to (iirc) @Bjoern for the suggestion https://twinfan.gitbook.io/livetraffic/setup/installation/autoatc I like it, I like it a lot.

Just bought this plane. When the game and plane loads. Right after loading and in the cockpit, I hear a faint spool down whining sound that repeats itself a 2nd time then all is quiet like I'd expect a cold and dark plane to be. This normal? When outside near the engines I hear a rattling sound, this normal? Lastly, none of the many people doors make any sound at all when they open or close, this normal? Thank for any help.

INSANE REALISM | *MAJOR* Updates for X-Plane 12 | Real Airbus Pilot | X-Plane 12.3 BETA

Here a chance see the weather radar in action during the close beta XP 12.3.

Hi Everybody, I've now experienced multiple frozen screens with the latest beta, even on the server computer... Something that never happens. The log file always seems to show it's reading Traffic Global. Looks like I may have to roll back.

Zibo mod 737 has being tested in 12.3. Ready for release when beta finally released, with working weather radar.

Is there a good model of this in XP12? TIA

Hi Everybody, Historic weather that effects current date/time for networking exterior visual computers will be fixed in the future, it has been given an ID of XPD-17312 as per Marco Auer. In the interim, a manual correction of date/time on the visual computers (if you are experiencing a weather mismatch) will have to be used. Manual correction of weather mismatch First you have to take the external visual computers out of XP12 network mode and make them the master, only way to get to the weather and time settings. Next go to customize weather and make sure real weather is selected, then select time of day and confirm real wolrd date/time is selected, m…

Haven't had much spare time to check all of the bells and whistles coming with 12.3 beta but wanted to test this one, using RW weather like the frontal system crossing Continental Portugal during this weekend, and it surely works GREAT! I used the new option to adjust Real Weather to sim time, then went ahead and made the sim time vary along the day, and it was very consistent with the various types of weather that we experienced at LPMT, LPCS and LPPT. Really nice and important feature ! and as far as I could tell, very plausibly modeled !!! Flightdeck2Sim is one of the youtube rw pilots streaming about the new weather features too: LIVE: Real 737 Pil…

Beta 1 for XP 12.3.0 is available. Full release notes (including all of the Alphas) at https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-3-0-release-notes/ Fixes and Enhancements from last Alpha to Beta 1 General Fixed an issue where the time was displayed incorrectly (e.g. 12:60 instead of 12:00). Updated Global Airports from the X-Plane Airport Gateway, including OMDB Dubai International with custom buildings. Improved the “Resume Last Flight” function, especially when the previous flight ended at smaller airports or helipads (XPD-17164). Added the ability to call and dismiss the Ground Power Unit via the Ground Handling Window, similar to chocks. …

Any x-plane 12 seaplane recommendations ? Any tips on configuring the simulator for seaplane ops ? And finally any recommendations for on-line resources for seaplane flying ? Cheers Tim

This is an release of the Southampton Airport where you will only find this exclusively at the inibuilds website. https://inibuilds.com/products/aeroscape-southampton-eghi-xp Details of this scenery can be found at the link below. https://www.thresholdx.net/news/ascsou

Hi, Anyone in the early release program that's networking multiple computers/screen with 12.3? If so, any videos showing the progress that's been made? Thanks

Good morning pilots, hope you have an absolute awesome weekend. Oh I am sure you have when having that awesomness of the newest X-Plane 12 experience. 😉 I would like to know how to contact the HotStart Challenger 650 developers. I have googled everywhere but unlike Fenix (Discord) and iniBuilds (Discord and Forum) I was not able to find one single contact form, chat, forum, or anything. I have so many great ideas to enhance the HotStart Challenger even more (you might love it: one idea is adding a Ferrari LaFerrari or that new BMW SUV from X-Plane 12 instead of that boring black van when calling Nicky for a car, a red carpet from the car to the entry door of the…
