The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

So, I have been using an Elite yoke and throttle quadrant for several years, mainly with FSX and P3. Now, I use XP11 as my primary sim, still using the Elite yoke (serial version with a USB converter) and currently trying to incorporate the Elite MEL throttle quadrant (USB) into the mix. I downloaded the trial version of the Elite Hardware Interface for X-Plane to see if I can get it going. The throttle quad is recognized and I am able to calibrate the hardware and use it in X-plane with one exception. The Prop and Mixture control levers have reversed operation in terms of lever position. I tried checking the boxes within the Elite calibration window to reverse the contro…

Hey guys, Every time I take off in the Zibo, it doesn't matter what version, I get about halfway down the runway before the TOGA mode takes a word not allowed and I have to put the throttle on the correct settings myself. I'm entering the OAT on the FMC and and as soon as I click on VNAV/LNAV, autothrottle works just fine. What am I doing wrong? This is clearly a me problem because it persists between versions. Thanks a lot.

XP11 water looks very repetitive and unrealistic. A while back there is a mod to change its appearance but then LR remove it, when not exactly, but FlyWithLua removed the ability due to LR instruction. I have not checked recently with 11.11, is there way now to improve the look? Thanks in advance.

Like most people I turned off the default over caffeinated X-Plane 11 ATC on day 2. I tried 124thATC and Pilot2ATC and I am liking both after a month of use. Here is a review video I created for Pilot2ATC .

When using the 'Do Not Flatten' option in the Global Config, for specific airports, instead of using Patches, is there a way to smooth the changes in altitude on airports (runways and aprons), or does it depend on the mesh being used. I have been using alpilotx HDMesh v3 or v4, but was wondering whether it would be better to use XP11 default scenery mesh when creating a tile for an airport? Also whether adjusting curv_tool or min_angle parameters might help? Thanks for any advice. Stuart

I've been away from XP11 for about 6 months. I am a long time user and love XP. But ever since the the 64bit P3D was released I've neglected XP11 somewhat. I was surfing the XP org site and came across the zibo mod. All I can say is wow! Its by far the best free addon available for any simulator platform ( Just my opinion )

I should probably know this, but where is this airport? http://prntscr.com/i2ef18

Been flying the 737 more and noticed that the in the air, once the speedbrakes are toggled, they won't retract unless using the specific 3 command on the keyboard. I had the "toggle speedbrakes" mapped to a key on my joystick and couldn't figure out what was going on. When I sat motionless on the runway they would toggle back and forth. But once in the air, they would only come up but not back down. Am I missing a step here or is this a bug ?

Hello everyone, dose x plane 11 has an easy way to connect and fly muliplayer and with cockpit sharing, especially IXEG 737 ?? I've tried to connect with a friend using an IP address but with no success, I think X plane 11 need to improve in that regards. Thanks. Evan.

Good morning, I'm having problems in the IFR approach, I use the gn 530 native of the bell 429, I enter the procedure, leg of the wind, more inves to get to the base leg the 429 turns to the left, does anyone know what I can do? Does reality xp solve my problem?

I have updated my X-plane 10 to the latest version 10.51 V2. I used three Samsung 24" (1920 x 1200) LCD monitors for Eyefinity with Display driver 17.12.1, which was recommended for my MSI RX-480 4 GB video card (PC with Intel i7). After setting up Eyefinity for 3 monitors, and after bezel adjustment, final resolution was 6048 x 1200. There was no problem with X-plane at this resolution. Here are my issues. Using Cessna 172 as an example, the cockpit in 2-D view had both sides of the dashboard chopped off in the left and right monitors. Is this normal for 2-D view of the cockpit under Eyefinity? In 3-D view of the same cockpit not under Eyefinity, the dashboard spa…

cant get brakes to release

So i took a break from P3D and im doing some VFR in Xplane 11 in it's native VR which i found very good even in beta with some bugs. XP11 + Ortho4xp + HD mesh v4 is in my opinion the best combination that we can have nowadays to fly in VR, simply amazing! So im looking for some freeware sceneries, specially small airports or other kinds of sceneries to add even more value to this combination. Please be kind to share what do you like most. Thank you

I downloaded scenery that has many static aircraft. They are not in "objects" folder. What file houses them and is there a way to "decompile" that file so I can extract the static aircraft? Thank you.

I picked up the Just Flight PA28R Arrow III for XP11 tonight and just wanted to share with you guys how utterly stunning it is. For me, this is far and away the best GA aircraft released for XP11 to date. Visuals, FDE is just magical. It just has that X-Factor (not that X-Factor..... the good X-Factor!!) Check out my pics and extremely mini review :-

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/458608-multi-crew-experience-coming-to-x-plane-very-soon/#entry3143475 Woohoo!!

I built my overlays with HD Mesh v3 originally. With HD Mesh v4 installed...will I have to recompile a new overlay to take advantage of it?

Tall power lines right in the approach path to KSAN 27... how can I get rid of those?

I've been using OrthoXP for well over a year now in both XP10 and XP11. I've also installed w2xp sceneries and in some regions of the world (GB Pro/Mass Pro) they are an outstanding combination. However, in many areas I've still seeing what I believe is XP autogen houses that line the road where there are clearly no houses on the photoscenery. It just looks bad. Rome, IT for instance just doesn't look good even though I have photoscenery, simheaven VFR landmarks, w2xp_europe_mix My question is, is there a way to remove all the default autogen objects and just have the photoscenery and the airport sceneries. I know I can turn down the objects slider to the lowest…

I purchased X-ATC-Chatter awhile ago and recently the log.txt file show that "sometimes" X-ATC-Chatter causes XP11.11 to not shutdown properly? Not a major concern but I have been meaning to ask if anyone else has the problem. If I remove X-ATC-Chatter from the plugin folder, all goes well? Any suggestions or comments? It really is a great program that adds quite a deal of even more immersion to XP.

Hi Guys As a part time sim and "real" pilot, I have recently stepped into the Xplane field. I really enjoy flying the 737 and MD-82. So I upgraded my video card to a 1060 6G in the hopes of higher frames and more extended scenery presentation. The frames went up dramatically and I'm very pleased with the upgrade. But I don't think my scenery presentation changed much if at all. I went up to Dallas (KDFW) last night from Houston and even at 5000 feet and less than 10 miles from the airport, The lights of the city were slow to load and only seemed to load up to maybe a 10 mile radius max from the plane. I purposely bought the 6G memory on the video thinking that…

Whats your favourite place to fly in Xplane 11?

After having seen drivers for my 737 Opencockpits modules available, I decided to give XPlane and the IXEG 737 a try. Looks great so far, just the device calibration gives me a headache. I have several devices : TM 16000 stick, a Brunner FFB, which is calibrated outside XPlane and connects via PlugIn , a 737 Throttle replica for Jets, CH Throttle for Props and using the buttons for changing views. Pedals and a 737 Steering Tiller Replica. I have assigned them all, using Ignore Axis when appropriate. 1. Xplane keeps telling me I have multiple Yaw axis defined, consequently there is no yaw movement in the sim. I checked it several times, there is only one yaw axis…

The new flagship for X-Plane. Hello everyone. I'm pleased to announce that my new scenery for X-Plane is now available on the Aerosoft Online Shop. Check out the launch trailer below: Sprawled across 18,076 acres of land—an area larger than the island of Manhattan—DFW is the world's third largest airport. With 681,244 aircraft movements in 2015, it is also the world's third busiest airport. 7 runways, 5 terminals, 165 gates and 3 control towers help accommodate the 1,845 daily flights. DFW is the headquarters and the largest hub of American Airlines, the world's largest airline. Features 30 cm/pixel orthoimagery and 1 c…
