Hello, can anyone please tell me how I can use one lever of my saitek throttle to control both thrust levers of the A320 at the same time? This is working fine on other 2 engine aircrafts like the ZIBO 737 or the Flightfactor A350. For these aircrafts I have assigned the command "throttle" to the single saitek lever, which is then moving both levers in the simulated aircraft. However the exactly same setting is not moving any thrust lever inside the FFA320. Here I have to assign two saitek throttle levers to "Throttle 1" and "Throttle 2" to solve the problem. This is however very annyoing because then I cant assign the third saitek throttle lever to my s…

Happy Friday folks! Some bush flying this week! I think Bush flying could be a thing on X-Plane 11, I’ve had so much fun! Also, see the free PropStrike studios C172 specifically for bush flying examined in this video! Enjoy! GripperSim. : )

I can't get this aircraft to follow the GSP flight plane on the Reality XP GTN 750. What am I missing? XPlane 11. Thank You. Bill McCracken

Here is a mod to add surface water effects to the default C172 in X-Plane 11.30+ https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/49626-water-effects-for-the-default-c172-floatplane/

This script provides "Virtual" differential brakes that work with your basic rudder pedals. Push the left pedal past a certain point and progressively engage the left brake. Same for the right. Release and reapply quickly, and hold that braking effort. I use this with my old CH pedals along with a dedicated "Max braking Left/Right" button on my joystick. A small graphical display shows whats going on (can be disabled) https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/42265-lua-script-differential-brakes-with-virtual-toebrakes-and-hold/

If you don't have enough buttons for all the commands you'd like to assign in x-plane (or any other game), then this is the "free" tool for you. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/42290-double-your-joystick-controller-buttons/

The new unlimited lighting mod is a game changer for sure,,,,Xplane forever! Click on pic for large image 🙂

Hi, I am running ver 11.32 and have noticed that all the default airports are full of static traffic, and most of the liveries should not be there, i.e "Qantas 747 and "Alaskan" at EGFF !. Not so much of a problem with addon airports as they give you an option to remove them. As I want to use World Traffic 3, I need to remove the default static. Please help. Thanks. John.

Hello, I'm noticing a strong shimmering on far distant objects with all tried out graphic settings under X Plane 11.3. This makes for example the runway in the horizon very blurry. Or houses very unsharp and shimmering at the edges. I'm not talking about the usual jagginess that can be fixed by Setting MSAA to x8. Having done some research I believe ist rather the "temporal aliasing". Is that correct? A lot of new games already have the Technology TXAA to get rid of that. X Plane so far has only MSAA and FXAA :( Is there any chance to solve or reduce this problem otherwise ? Thank you very much! Best regards Andreas

Got this from the 'Threshold' site who copied it off the Facebook site. " "When will be the Release of Ultra Weather XP v2.5? "= Once finished number 6 of "Developers Tests Report" and making the final test with private beta testers. "So.. the Release will be in a few days ( this month as expected ) "and free for all existing users." This month being April 2019.

Anyone have any Orbx products for Xplane,,,such as Meigs Field ?

Hi, does anyone know how to assign a Saitek Yoke button to the teamspeak Push to talk function when using X Plane? Under P3D i can use FSUIPC for that. Unfortunately the program JoytoKey does not recognize my yoke. Therefore this is no option :( Im thankful for every idea! Best regards Andreas

Hello, I love both addons very much. Only problem is that ortho4xp tiles make the green beside the runway very blurry while on the ground. Up in the air the ortho4xp tiles look great. I would therefore rather prefer to have the nice looking green from Airport Environment HD instead. Is that somehow possible? I covered the whole Airport with Ortho4xp in Maximum CL. Using a payware scenery is a good solution since the whole highly detailed airport is then put over the ortho4xp tiles. However I do not want to buy all payware sceneries to remove the blurry green beside the runways. Thanks! Best regards Andreas

Dear Sir, I am going to build a level 5 FTD of Enstrom 480B helicopters which have GTN650 and EFD1000. Thus the helicopter shall fly in Korean peninsula rather than North America. I will use X-Plane, NaviGraph's nav data and Sim Innovations EFD1000 SW based on their Air Manager. I will also use GTN650 HW bazels of RealSimGear (https://realsimgear.com/).I have several questions such as - Can GTN650 SW transmit GPS information to EFD1000 directly or via X-Plane?- Is any additional engineering work required in order for the simulation SW to fly in South Korea?

I downloaded at the .org ortho package for Iceland, installed it and now all airports are flat, they do not follow terrain (it's selected in settings menu) can this be changed or is this hardwired by the user who made the orhtos initially?

Just about to upgrade my GPU from a 980ti to 2080ti: Just wondering: 1)What do I need to tweak to get the best XP11 performance from the new setup? - someone suggested I should delete my shaders - if yes whats the best way to do this? 2)Also if anyone's done this upgrade what's the best way to do it ? - have been told to either use software called DDU to firstly delete the drivers then swap over the cards then install the new drivers? or just to install the new drivers view nvidia experience program that I use to run all my driver updates? Any help appreciated.....

I have a new Win7 build, ASUS H110M-E/M.2 MB, i5-6600 CPU, GTX1060 6GB GPU, 500GB Samsung SSD, 16 GB RAM. Was running "test" flight to see how it would handle graphic settings, all at.HIGH with anti aliasing at 2X. I flew for about 1 hour at low altitude, did not check FPS but it was quite smooth, temps were normal and I was a happy camper. Then it crashed. Is it likely that I need another 16GB RAM? Or is there a more likely cause. Thanks

Hi friends, I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some help. I've been using the excellent MisterX6 library and also his Airport Environment HD (AEHD) Today I spotted and downloaded RA Library which appears to do what (AEHD) does (unless Im mistaken). Do I need to remove both the Mister X folders if I want to use RA_ Library?

Not sure what happened but my Courser just disappeared, it's shows when running WMR but nothing when launching SteamVR so nothing on XP VR as well. I tried to change the Mouse Speed/ resolution but no good & since I do not use Controllers, VR practically is useless Any ideas Tnx in advance Yair

Hi guys, I am a developer of scenery for FSX & P3D, and I am starting to take the steps needed to convert them to Xplane 11. I am concerned about installing Xplane in the same system where I have P3D installed. The last thing I need is for something to screw my P3D install, so my question to you all, can Xplane11 and P3D co-exist in the same computer? Can they do so in the same drive? Should they be in diferent drives? Can I install Xplane11 on a portable drive? Anyone with experience having both simulators please give me feedback, much appreciated. Bernardo.

Hello, I started using X-Plane 11 last year and have found a few add on's that have made the sim look amazing. While the sim runs at a fairly decent ~30 FPS I just cannot get the AA settings tuned properly. I found the vid attached below and have used the exact steps to attain ~30 FPS ending up with 2x SSAA+FXAA with scenery shadows enabled. I have an MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti DirectX 12 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X GPU and have yet to find a suitable setting of AA that renders a good picture at my display's native setting of 3840 x 2160. Does anyone recommend using nVidia Control Panel to set AA and if so, what settings should I apply? Here is the vid: …

I bought that new AFL King air and I see that I can hop outside the plane and click off the covers and pitot covers etc. Problem is my track IR sort of limits me from where I can look....in other words I run out of range of view with it enabled. If I run XP without track ir started then it won't work. Is there a way I can use track IR, disable it, and have the views still work with the mouse like in P3D/FSX? And the re-enable it?
