Anyone know what happened to it? I can't seem to find the download anywhere and I'm missing the mesh file for it :(

Maybe that's the problem with having too many sims. I have not come to xplane11 for several months. Despite all joysticks being recognized in xplane's joystick control panel, all the aircrafts don't have joystick functions. Joystick buttons work fine. Is there a key or something that I may have inadvertently pressed sometime ago to create this situation, or is there a plug in that can make this happen. The airplanes start with engine running, but even if I use the mouse to move the throttles, the aircraft does not move. Yes, I unlocked the brakes. Totally lost. tony

I've got myself into a bit of a muddle, after changing the monitor settings. I was trying to get some of the IXEG 737 pop-ups like the Vspeeds to my second monitor, but couldn't slide them across. I went to the monitor config page, clicked on the "Unused Monitor" dropdown, saw there was an option for "2D panels only", thought maybe that might do it, so clicked on it. The Sim crashed (the fault module was win.xpl - but that might not be the cause), I re-started XP11, and the icon appeared in the task-bar, and if I hover the mouse over it, I get a small image of the opening screen, but clicking on the icon or screen doesn't get it the display on the the main screen, also th…

Yesterday I found a neat little mod on the org for all orthofans: It replaces XP's road texture with (semi-)transparant textures so that you will see the actual roads from the orthoimages instead of the uniform and sometimes clunky roads that XP draws. Yet, these are still textures, so XP will put lights on them for your glorious night lighting and you will have road traffic driving 'directly' (so it seems) over your orthoimage (if the actual roads and XPs overlays are well aligned of course). I did try it yesterday and it worked like a charme. Really makes for a cleaner impression over all. It is a bit of copypasta work in the first place though. Here's the link - y…

Guys I am curious what the best method for Anti-Aliasing is in XP in its most recent state. I am currently on 11.20vr3 and have a 1080Ti. I was flying around in the FF A320 and normally run 2x SSAA+FXAA. However I see people running 4x or even 8x in sim with a 980Ti. I tried going to 4x and my displays looked amazing in the FF A320, however I noticed if I looked in certain parts of the cockpit it would drop to 21-19 or lower. However in outside view the frames are awesome even at 4x I have a strong system (See Sig) and get great fps in all situations at 2x. Im wondering if I make some changes to Nvidia Control Panel or use Nvidia Inspector can I help thing…

It's my point of view. Ooops, I forgot a screenshot of my aircraft flying over some scenery. Tony Spoiler

Beta 11.20VR4 is out. https://developer.x-plane.com/2018/02/x-plane-11-20-vr4-is-live/

Dear Members, I just like to know how can I update the navdata base in Flight Factor A320 Ultimate. I tried in Navigraph control panel but the addon mappings couldn’t find it and manually I couldn’t choose it because wasn’t in the list. Any way? Please help! Thank you! Regards,

Just a heads up for the Airbus fans among us that there is a new kid on the block, the ToLiss A319. http://store.x-plane.org/ToLiss-319_p_762.html At first look it doesn't seem as detailed as the FF A320 but as I don't own it I can't comment apart from the description and trailer. I must say thought that it is a little worrying that our beloved add-ons are getting more and more expensive of late. I wonder if this is really worth 70 USD. I know there are arguments on both sides but I personally find with these pricey that unless you know the indepth systems of these planes and/or want to know them, then they are hard to justify the full price to ones self, w…

Dear members, I just bought the plane and I did a testflight. Everything was ok. I need some advice how can I calculate the V1 V2 V3 speeds. I use simbrief with purchased license. Is the Simbrief calculate the V speeds in the flightplan? If yes, where can I find? One more question: How can I light up the cabin without using Dome lights? Because dome lights light up the cockpit too. Or this is like in real life? Please answer my question if you can, thanks! Best Regards,

Dear Members, I just bought the airplane and I can't activate it. This plane is the FF A320U. Load correctly but the plane looks like this: So looks like the activation is missing but no activation form here. I couldn't find where can I activate the aircraft. Any helps? Regards,

Austin mentioned sometime ago in one of the interviews a project with a commercial training application of X-Plane for the A320. I think SIMLOC ( http://www.simlocresearch.com/ ) might well be it. At least there's mention of X-Plane being used in it's "Lite" ( a kind of CAE's Simfinity ) version of the A320 simulator: http://www.simlocresearch.com/en/products/a320-sr-software/lite

I decided to give the NOAA plugin a shot (in conjunction with Clouds Gold 1.4 beta) and if i change the weather to clear it doesnt stick.. NOAA redownloads the weather in a few seconds.. Is there no way to do a CAVOK and have it stick? Anyone else using this? Thanks in advance

Hi All This is my first post on the forum so apologies in advance if I've put it in the wrong place. I'm experiencing some weird texture issues with Volume 4 of the VFR Photo Scenery series (NE of England). I've attached a link to a screenshot which shows the problem: https://imgur.com/U0FxGuy I was just wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar and whether there was a way of fixing or getting around it? The picture was taken near the mouth of the River Tyne. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone run across a useable bandaid for the directional ground control problems currently irritating a lot of XP11 users. Some models, made for XP10 are encountering difficulties and others, made specifically for XP11 are even worse. While we wait for LR to get back to the nitty gritty, there may be a fixit out there we can all use.

For some reason my main X plane11 folder has gone inverted - folders are now under files with "weapons" on top and "aircraft" at the bottom. Likewise "X plane icon" is at the top and "airfoil maker" at the bottom. I run off 'Steam' and it seems to start OK - all subfolders are normal.

Hello, fellow X-Planers! I wanted to welcome everyone who frequents the X-Plane forums to my AVSIM blog, The Big Tour. In it, I'll be documenting my undertaking of Lew Doh's flight plan of the same name; this is a massive, meandering circumnavigation of the globe that takes place over seven-hundred and four individual legs and spans over one-hundred thousand nautical miles. (I'm currently about 2% of the way through!) If you'd like to read more, check out my introductory post. A complete list of entries and recent posts can be found here. If you want to skip straight to the first leg of my tour, you can read it by following this link. It'll be a long-term projec…

..sound dumb, but I can't find the Fuel-Selector on the Stock B58?????????

Hello and thank you in anticipation I have Xplane 11 download everything is fine, on my recommendation my friend purchased Xplane 11 BUT purchased the Box set from Aerosoft . The DVD arrived But when he try’s to input the Code to activate it won’t activate he has contacted Aerosoft part of the response is below Heinz Flichtbeil (Aerosoft - Support Service) Feb 22, 11:40 CET Hello i think you have selected Dome Projection in the X-Plane Settings (Rendering Options or Grafic) Menu. This is only available with the pro key for commercial use. You shall deset this if it is possible. Spoiler …

Dear members, The X-Europe just relased for XP11. I want to try it. I downloaded everything and installed correctly. During the flight I recognized a huge problem with this. Happened at Barcelona. I flew from Frankfurt to Barcelona and at Frankfurt everything is okay, I recognized the difference between the default scenery and the X-Europe scenery. Then I arrived to Barcelona and there were a lot of building missing in very huge number at center of the town, suburbs. If I use default scenery that is better than X-Europe. So? What is the problem with it? The number of object on MAX.

Released today, looks absolutely fabulous - and it's freeware! Get it at the org: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/42950-eddk-colognebonn-v2/

I have recently purchased the Alabeo DA40, hoping to be able to modify the cockpit with the X-Plane built-in G1000. Unfortunately it turns out that the DA40 has a custom cockpit and even worse: all the scripts are encrypted using the SASL DRM enging. The Alabeo team does not reply on their official support page. As a software developer I could of course hack my way through it somehow, but this would take weeks. So before I take such desperate measures (it is fully legal in Austria to decrypt and decompile code which I have already purchased btw.) I am looking into a way to modify this cockpit without real hacking. It really doesn't help that I have just switched ove…

Some of you might have already read about it here or there: UHD Mesh Scenery v4 Although this is NOT RELEASED yet, I thought it would be time to show you a bunch of - more or less - final screenshots of some of the finished regions: Alps / Pyrenees (Europe) Japan New Zealand USA West (everything west of 104°W!) As always, UHD Mesh will use high resolution elevation data (30m DEMs from various sources) and at least for the above mentioned regions also some specially tuned high resolution landclass data (compared to HD Mesh). The exact release date is still unknown, because I have still not finished - but at least planned - Canada Wes…
