    Fellow Flight Simmers, I'm trying to use the Saitek Radio Panel with XP11, but when I try to adjust the altimeter, it also adjusts the transponder code. The FSX version doesn't have that problem Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! Regards, Kevin Davis

  7. Not here to start a flame war or anything - just curious on those who have flown both what do they thing of the FF A320 vs the FSL version? I know, two different sims and all, but from a systems simulation POV do they seem comparable? Flight model is tough since both sims model flight differently, but just curious over all everyone's impressions.

  8. Really starting to get into X-Plane after 30 years of FSX and Prepar3D (still use this daily). I'm starting to purchase commercial addons (IXEG 737, Les 340, Ramzess 777) but have noticed that there are only 2 major retailers available - both start with an 'X', this lack of competition seems to keep prices high and regular sales are infrequent. I know there are many free addons available, particularly with scenery and the Zibo 737 is payware quality ever improving. I have googled to find more outlets but those that show offer a small, limited selection. Where do dedicated X-Plane users shop?

    Has anyone used the M Panel by VR Insight with X-Plane 10? Paul

  10. I have installed the ELITE HW simPlugIn to be used with X-PLAN 11 . Running Windows 7 Pro The AP4000 modules seems to be working. However The PRO Panel II is not visible in connected ELITE overview screen. I also cannot calibrate ELITE Rudder Pedals. All ELITE HW devices are properly working with the ELITE simulator. Looking forward for your advise. Best regards

    I'm just getting into X-Plane seriously, I've dabbled in XP10 but now have the XP11RC1 release, I have just flown the IXEG737 from Launceston to Sydney and made the following observations that I need help in sorting out. 1. The default scenery during the route does not convey the real textures, in that, it shows cultivated fields in green and brown in the flat areas which are too populated with cultivated fields(similar to those of the UK where the whole country is made up of farmlands), not the dry, occasional farmed area that is Australia. 2. When landing on Rwy 34L at Sydney, instead of coming in over the waters of Botany Bay, this and Runway 34R are surroun…

    If you're one of those complaining about the "glue" effect on your landing gear the second time it contacts the ground ( so, a takeoff being required in between even if you land just ahead on the same rw ) Austin is already at it and fixing the bug for the next beta!

    I quite enjoyed making video's with Prepar3D and I though I'd give it a go in X Plane now that its my sim of choice. Its nothing special but I got so enthusiastic about it that once it was uploaded I almost posted it in the video showcase section of the Prepar3D forum before I caught myself! LOL

    I am having the some problems with the autogate plugin - its showing as running (shows as enabled in my plugins dropdown in game) but its just not connecting when I start at the ramp for any of the planes I fly - both my own aircarftand the AI traffic (x-life) - also I cant seem to see the little identifier where it identifies the aircraft type that's on or next to the gate (note have tried a few airports (KLAX and KSAN(by mr x) which should be enabled) and a few aircraft default and 737 classic) - one suggested fix is to delete all the contents of the preference folder (no idea if this might help) or does anyone have any other suggestions?

  15. Can these 2 be used together or will they cancel each other out. Im trying to find a replacement for the disappointment xenviro has been producing. As far as i can tell the ultra weather is more like xenviro and fsgrw is more of a not seen type of thing. Is this correct. Anyone use them together.

    I think AVSIM is missing out here. As both a P3DV4 guy and XP11 guy I can't get enough of XP11 freeware, especially airports. There are two other sites where users can access files for download. I download hundreds. I just ran a check, perhaps I'm doing it wrong but I used....*.* and the X-Plane category and absolutely no XP files were listed. So uploaders are not using AVSIM as a source? Too bad. Perhaps AVSIM can drum up a little business in this area. X-Plane.org is the goto place along with the other major sim repository. Bryan

    Anyone having issues getting the new Orbx England South working? Purchased this, but its crashing my XP11 installation, and my pleas for help on their forum are just going unanswered. I remember now why I don't buy their stuff. Stunning as it looks, support has always been an issue:-(

    Now that I'm running the Orbx "GB south", it's mandatory to have at least two items (Landmarks London and Global Airports) above the three GB entries. Apparently my file missed the meeting where scenery arrangement was implemented. Each time after I've run the sim, I take a look and the arrangement is never the same - several attempts to arrange things according to the gospel have not prevented it changing on a whim. I tried the 'arranging' software but no joy. Ideas?

    I have just made the move from FSX/P3D where there are a great amount of websites and add-ons devoted to naval aviation i.e. carriers, gauges, aircraft, carrier landing training scenery etc. Are there similar websites in X-Plane? If so can you please point me at them? I have landed the default Cessna on the default USS Nimitz but am now looking for other planes, carriers etc. I have asked X-plane who have suggested I use Google but Google is not that helpful. Thank you Tregarth

    I am new to X Plane 11, previously an FSX/P3D user. I am starting to use the default Cessna and even sitting on the runway the panel and scenery shake really badly much worse than in FSX. If I move the eye point to the back of the cock[pit the shaking reduces to 0. But when I am at a sensible viewpoint the instruments shake (vibrate?) badly. Is this normal for XP or is there a setting I need to turn on or off? Thank you, Tregarth
