The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

I'm slowly building up my Xplane 11 VFR fleet and would like this aircraft. Carenado only says XP10 on their site. Has anyone had success in XP11, do all the features work?

Well, that was a LOL and 'duh' moment here. After installing XP11 the first thing I did was calibrate the controllers. All went fine. I did notice there was a pull to the left in the Cessna but I had read this was normal in XP. Realism, you know. Just now, a week later, I got sick and tired of it. I have grown into the habit to constantly pull me joystick to the right to counter for that realistic pulling. If I would let go of my controller I would dive left instantly. Then (duh) I decided to recalibrate my controllers (in the middle of the flight instead of in the startup screen). All went fine again. But this time there wasn't any pull anymore at ALL! When I let go …

The trick I learned was to extract the Python files and folders into the OrthoXP folder, and to create a scenery project folder within that folder for my scenery files. I generated my first project, of Maricopa county, and it looked quite good. Did not take more than an hour to generate, I used USA_2 as the source, much easier to use than FSEarthtiles for P3d. I used 17 for my resolution to keep the scenery size small, looked fine at altitude. Like Ron Popeil says, you can just set it and forget it, LOL. John

I installed SFO scenery pack and got those 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KSFO - Traffic Golden Gate Bridge/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KSFO - Traffic Oakland Bay Bridge/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- not sure where to place them in my Scenery -Pack , should they be on top of the global airports ? Tnx Yair

Odd thing happened this morning when I started Xplane11. I was asked to reregister the product. My key was retained so I just had to respond to the dialog and was authenticated again. Has this every happened to anyone and why do you think? John

Hi, Quick-look views: There used to be 10 pre-saved viewing locations but now we have 20–enough for plenty of cockpit and exterior presets now. how do we save Quick-look views 11-20

EDIT ( additional stuff... ): In order to properly diagnose this right rolling moment one should clear first each and every compensation previously in use to counter the prop effects, of course making sure a backup of the original ACF is saved... - Most of the default or add-on prop aircraft have trim tab set by default in Plane Maker Control Geometry ( aileron and rudder ), which should be changed to 0.000 - Some of the aircraft also have their prop axis canted sideways ( to the right in the case of CW rotating props ). One should bring this side cant to 0.000 - Some of the aircraft ( for instance the default C172s ) have the totality or part o…

just a quick one, how do i stop the steering from screeching in xplane when im taxing??? Its driving me nuts!!! (and for all those comedians amongst you...im not trying to send the back end of the aircraft sideways like a speedway car whilst doing 100 knots down the strip! ^_^ )

Just making sure everyone saw the freeware Bell 429 update at the Org. Tim also added wheels and RXP GTN 750/650/530/430 support to an already amazing helo

First I noticed the that the heading selector setting was not working right on the C208 and also the C90 from Carenado. If I put 360 on indicator the plane would turn about 90 dgrees off. setting on 90 would give you 360 instead. Then on flying the Carenado C90 the engines died on me after some 10 minutes of flight. All failures off also. Couldnt restart. Similar in B200 but able to restart. Navigation not tracking either on any of the carenados. Carenado emailed me back and said there have been issues with carenado after 11.10 update. I guess its better to wait for r's instead of b's on updates, hahaha. One thing else I noticed on the default cessna standard cockpit was …

Hi All, I was thinking about upgrading my Asus GTX 980 TI STRIX to a GTX1070, mainly to get the 8GB RAM as I can easily consume the 6GB that is on the 980. Before I do anything I thought I would ask if apart from the extra memory is the 1070 a worthy upgrade. I cannot justify the move up to a 1080 right now Regards Richard

Is there a fix for the extremly overdone lightflood of the lights on airplane. Its not normal that the 737 is lighting up an entire neigborhood when landing and at 1500feet. Same when at airport, taxi lights flooding up the entire airport terminal building.

As a new XP11 flyer with some add on scenery and livereys and programs like lua and headshake, do I need to clean out all addon's before updating to 11.10 ? should I do a full uninstall of 11 with a fresh install of 11.10 when it comes out? Thanks, Jefferson

I generated scenery with Ortho4Xp for Arizona. Surprisingly, the overlays did not lay down all the buildings and autogen, in some parts yes, in others no. It is hit and miss when I do it. I believe it has something to do with reading from the servers, but I am not sure. If someone can suggest a fix for this without my having to redo the scenery, I would appreciate it. Other than that the scenery turned out beautiful. It is bordered by Vegas in the North, the Salton Sea in the West, Mexico in the South, and New Mexico in the East. It took up a hefty chunk of my hard drive space, close to 100 GB because I used 16 as my resolution. I guess I could redo it and go lowe…

How does one add a custom user fix to X-Plane 11 for use the Garmin 530 GPS flight plan function? From what I have manged to find on the internet so far, it appears that editing the earth_fix.dat file is strongly discouraged. You are supposed to use the map. I am unable to find any function to add or save my own fixes. What am I missing? Can this actually be done?

My X-plane 11 randomly crashes to desktop with the following message. "Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware." I did not see any X-plane posts in the crash to desktop section so I am posting it here. I have a i7 4790 with 16 Gb ram and a Nvidia GTX 980 which both appear to be working just fine according to Windows 10. Running the current Nvidia 385.69 drivers at the default settings for X-plane. Was on a flight from ABQ to LAS and just about to flare on rwy 26R (think that was the number) when the screen went blank and the above messages were listed in the notification box. This crashing of X-plane ha…

I have tried XP11.05 demo version, and want to ask other users if XP11 has higher requirements than P3D ? Demo performance is terrible, and i see that graphic settings are rather low ( visuals are far from impressive ). So, is it something with my installation/setup, or simply XP11 is less optimized than P3D ?

We are getting ready to release it! Read more below!

Just to let everyone know, I have removed the listing of followers for the Main Topics, like Hangar Chat, P3D Forum, FSX Forum, etc., and not to specific threads in those forums. It appears our upgrade earlier this year might have somehow corrupted this notification. For instance, in the FSX Forum, I found 189 followers but, when I clicked on the followers, it showed only 30 names and at the bottom, only 16 others (which does not add up to 189). Of course, many of them might have indicated they did not want others to know they were following but many of those following were old registrations and the math did not add up so decided to start fresh. We had a possible glit…

One of those moments with xEnviro (v1.07) with xEnviroLightsEnvironmentMod.lua script available from the download section of AeroSim Gaming's web site at https://www.aerosimgaming.com/ Thank you AeroSim Gaming for this lua script. Yet another example of the talent and generosity of X-Plane's community members. All the best, Jean-Jacques (JJ)

This will be a hot fall for X-Plane... along with native VR support and new X-Enviro versions, it looks like World Traffic 3.0 will finally see the light of day. There's little doubt that it will be the best AI traffic package for any sim, with features users of other simulators sim may only dream about. It's been a long time coming! https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/128621-world-traffic-30-features/

I've spent some time studying the scenery system in FSX and how it uses land-classes. Basically, it splits the world into 1.2km grids, and each grid contains an annotated texture with matching objects. The roads are then placed over these, and blending is basically done by clever texture tiling. As ugly as it might sound, it's very successful and is why we have ORBX and others making scenery people love. The hard part about reproducing this in X-Plane is that firstly the XP scenery system isn't a grid and is done in layers with blending layers in between, and secondly most of the textures aren't UV mapped (meaning I don't know how X-Plane is going to place a texture on a …

Hi, I try to use all three together Pilot2ATC+World Traffic 3+ XPlane11 but I cant find the final Solution for it. Is their someone who can help me how the three work together. Thanks Wolfgang

I have the GroundTraffic plugin in my main plugins folder installed. Do i still need the GroundTraffic plugin folders in sceneries? I have way too many sceneries, which are containing the GroundTraffic plugin and they are all listed in the Admin Plugins menue. So is it safe to delete the GroundTraffic plugins folders from sceneries and just keep the plugin in the main plugins folder?
