I purchased Airfoillabs King Air 35 v 1.3 but when I enter the serial number I was given I receive a message that "Activation failed Be sure you have the correct serial number." There is one entry that could be a zero or an O. I tried with both and neither works. How can I obtain a fresh serial number?

Hi, i want to buy a scenery for Manchester, but i´m not sure which version is better. The UK2000 or the Aerosoft version. Does anybody have the UK2000 or AS version and can recommend it? Thanks in advance! Nils

Hello All, At last we can assign 2 Axis to handle both Cowl Flaps Levers, however, they tend to go back and not to stay at the lower open position, weird. Any ideas ?? Tnx Yair

Hi folks,With newer nVidia 20xx Super GPU cards, how important is having 11GB VRAM in XP 11x if I want to run a few "must-have" add-ons? Eg, Orbx True Earth libraries, accurate weather, clouds, and max settings, on 3 x1080 displays? (not stretching surround, but independent renderings for each screen). Being that the new Nvidia super cards only have 8 GB of VRAM, I wonder if that means they aren't recommended for what I want to do, and therefore the only option for me is the 2080ti, (since I can't find a reasonably priced 1080ti)? Are the newer "super" cards so fast, that you can easily get away with just having 8GB of VRAM instead of 11 GB on the nVidia TI GPUs?The PC…

Hi wonder if anyone can help? I am going to be building a 120 degree wrap around screen using 3 projectors with Fly Elise software. I am attempting to use a full-size Seneca cockpit and the flight model will be Carenado’s Seneca PA34 HD aircraft. My question is can anyone tell me how in Xplane’s “plane maker” I can make the centre part of the cockpit when in virtual cockpit mode disappear, but leave the wings and engines in place so they can be seen when flying to make the simulator more realistic. Cheers Stewart

They've finally stated unequivically that they're making an XP version of their latest "Sky Force'. Not this year but hopefully 2020 - described as a partial version (this could be a deal breaker) so we'll have to wait to see what's on offer.

As the title suggests- When flying back into the UK from Europe my Orbx scenery (not all of it, just some regions) are still base colour blue and take ages to load. My picture attached shows it after it is beginning to load. (Brown before showing correctly). Any advice? James

In XP11.35 unable to activate a joystick " Fire Guns", can only get a keyboard button to work. All other of the joystick functions OK. Found no help in the dev's manuals. Any ideas? Thanks

Nothing happens when I hit the Purchase button. Credit card, debit or Payal. Website is just fubar. What a joke. Only Microsoft comes close to this level of pathos. Only one alternative left. Lol.

Here's an interesting one, and I'm sorry if I didn't see it anywhere else here. https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/177106-orbx-change-of-policy-notice/ Is it that ORBX, with what seemed like their comfortably endless development roadmap, must now try to figure out the impact of MSFS2020 on what had, until recently, looked like unhindered growth in adding much-needed life to X-plane 11 default scenery? How many of us X-plane 11 adopters have actually defaulted to this platform because, well, we feel there isn't really that much choice, and we've been kinda hoping something better might come along? (Cos DTG FSW wasn't quite it.) And is ORBX sort of aware of…

Hello, Is it possible to download a whole tile at ZL19 in v1.30 as it is in v1.20b please? Thanks for any help or advice given Phil

Hello, I’m planning for a new motherboard/CPU. Will X-Plane require a full reinstall from the DVD set? If not is there a tip or procedure to follow prior to making the change? I’ve tried various searches of the forum without getting a hit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Read on 'Threshold' that XP12 will be in beta by the end of the year and will include the Vulkan API - most of the conversion has been completed and they showed Orbx GBSouth running in Vulkan. Apparently both NVidia and AMD cards do equally well so, for those of us contemplating upgrades, grit your teeth for a while to see how it all falls into place.

Good Day i wonder if someone can guide me what to do it seems I reinstalled these wrong and I keep getting this error and X-Plane shuts off on me if I go to any airport located in any of these areas . I have the latest updates for x-plane and my orbx is not working properly “ Error , could not locate image file for terrain custom scenery /orbx_C_GB _South _True Earth _Orthos/terrain/a6f0x10000x17.ter custome scenery /orbx_C_GB_South_True Earth_Orthos/Terrain/Textures/a6f0x10000x17.dds My other orbx for x-plane works fine I appreciate if someone can tell me how to correct this error cheers amr guindy

Hello, Is it possible to edit the overlay used in Orbx True Earth, I only want some of the things offered , for instance, I would prefer not to use their houses but I do want to keep trees, wind farms and other bits. Any ideas please? Phil

Hello, Does anyone know if I would be able to select only certain items from the overlay in TE Central GB for XP11. I know it's only a personal view but for me I would prefer to not have the houses, I want to keep the trees, wind farms, chimneys etc, can this be done please? Thanks for any advice. Phil

Alright hey guys, so I've understood the basics of flying IFR, so now I'm actually starting to fly the aircraft. But there is a major problem, I can't learn because the autopilot is messing up. So when I reach my cruise altitude my speed looks fine, but then when I reach my top of descent with flaps 15, my planes hits overspeed which is weird because when I'm flying the overspeed is at 240 knots, which is really weird. So it hits overspeed then my plane takes a extremely sharp left, can't recover it either. I really want to start landing but it's just not possible with this problem. My FMC looks perfectly fine, CLB, CRZ, DES, everything looks good, sp…

The definitive version IMHO. https://orbxdirect.com/product/lowi-xp11 I think this is their last XP11 port to get a cross-platform discount, and only for two weeks I believe.

Hello, I use only ortho scenery and I've noticed very often that it's not crisp and sharp in fact at times it's really quite blurred, even flying over the same area can differ a lot, any advice please? Thanks for any help. Phil

Porto is the second biggest city in Portugal, its was considered best European destination in 2017, its fed by LPPR airport Franciso Sa Carneiro, name of a famous Portuguese politician that curiously died in a plane crash back in 1980. Some features of the airport: BUILDINGS All the buildings in this scenery were designed as real as possible, thereby enhancing the experience and making it more immersive and real. These were modelled according to their existing architectural features and materials. The lighting of the airport and its surroundings has also been modelled according to these principles. In addition to Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, the foll…

Hello, Does anyone know if or where I could locate some ortho scenery at ZL20 just for my local area please I have downloaded at ZL20 from Bing, Arc and USA2 but then when I try to use it there's just a white screen with printing on it. Thanks for any help with this Phil

Hoping somebody can help answer a procedural question regarding Ortho4XP. If I successfully created a tile containing custom zoom levels for one airport and decide later to add custom zoom levels to a different airport in the same tile, do I only add the new zoom levels for the additional airport or do I have to also redo the custom zoom levels for the first airport? In other words, does Ortho4XP "save" custom zoom levels from previous builds or does one have to reapply custom zoom levels within a tile when making any custom zoom level changes to the tile?

Good afternoon, Just bought a copy of X-Plane 11 to see what it has to offer. I have the basics set up, but am having difficulty with a couple of things. Can the Saitek Switch Panel and Radio Panel be compatible? Also whats the best method to connect to VATSIM? Thanks in advance for the help. (Please understand, I am not a "convert" to X-Plane, but its important to me, and my excessively long sim history..see my signature...to see what all sims have to offer)
