The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

The problem with the strategy is that it can alienate many or most of the well-behaved. Why not just punish the ones that are doing it? I don't understand Jim. Many of us have been here for a decade or more and many of us too have made mistakes, but a forum was never removed as far as I remember. So now everyone will post addons to the General forum I guess. Bob

For the past several days I have been receiving a X-plane denied graphic card access message and now several crash to desk top. I have X-plane 11.05 and Nvidia driver 385.41 running on a GTX 980 card. Never had any problems like this before. Also noted that x-plane 11 does not show up under the applications list in windows 10. Is this because the program just sits on the desktop? Did a google search and there they said the fix was everything from reloading the OS, graphic drivers, the effected program, and countless other diagnostic adjustments. Any idea on how to really fix it if in fact I have a real graphic denial problem? Terry

Thought it would be a good idea to see how many of us have switched to XP11.

hello :) I wonder , on x-aviation ,the download limit is a 3. but ,if the jetstream as a update 1.03 > 1.04 ,the réinstal can get the latest update and download this ? Without touch the max download limit ? or if the jetstream as a update 1.03 > 1.04 ,i download with the link in x-aviation website ,and ,after 3 update ,request an reset ,and this ,for all plane ? it's a lot of workload for x-aviation support... and ,if ,like me ,i réinstal windows regularly ,and ,after all update ,i take it. I may have a problem ? thank :)

So, anybody has the time to post some screenshots? Kind of hesistating to install it again after 4.5 has been what I believe a completely borked release.

I'm trying to write an XP plugin that reads DataRefs to interface with another application over a TCP connection. All is working well and I am trying to do the "right thing" by caching the pointers that XPLMFindDataRef gives me. I'm initializing an std::map<const char *, XPLMDataRef> when my plugin starts and I can apparently call size() on it, but each time I call find() or attempt an insert XP crashes on me. This is probably more of a general C question (VC17) but is there something special about the XP implementation of C that I need to know about? I'm not a C programmer by trade (I do it once every few years and am reminded why I don't do it anymore). …

Still not internet connection at my house - can I use XP11 or does it need Internet during startup to verify the key?

Note: This update was actually released on some stores about 3 months ago but I delayed informing the community until I was sure it had become available on all stores. Check out the launch trailer: The update includes some bug fixes to make the scenery compatible with X-Plane 11 as well as some improvements, including: X-Plane 11 ground service vehicles; ramp starts that work with the 'Draw Parked Aircraft' feature; full X-Life compatibility; new textures for the passenger boarding bridges; and the ability to turn volumetric grass, parked cars and streetlights on/off to optimize performance. The update should be available for free to owne…

Had never seen this article by Chuck, at the .Org, but it is quite interesting... Came across it as I was trying ( still without good results... ) to fix the very poor ground handling of the MLDAG Bf 109 G2, G6 and G10 for XP11... https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/61282-landing-gear-dynamics/

I removed all of my plugins and started to add them one by, just for the sake of fixing broken frame rates :) . So I did a flight the other day without noaweather from Annecy to Nice, using the default real weather. It was cloudy when I started (3 levels of scattered stacked on top of each other). But when I passed to the Provence near Sisteron, the skies cleared. And not like they used to do, with a complete redraw and suddenly finding myself in clear blue skies. This time, I left a wall of clouds behind me, and I could fly back into it if I wanted to (I didn't as I almost crashed into a mountain just minutes before ). In front of me, it was all blue skies…

Today an odd thing happened in XP11. XP11 completely forgot my button assignments and won't see my buttons in the joystick config anymore. I recalibrated the joystick and that worked fine, but my buttons have suddenly been erased and have gone unrecognized. Thinking the issue was with my joystick, I went into P3d and the buttons are recognized just fine there. It's somewhat aggravating to set trim from the 3d cockpit, although it is a workaround. Wondering if anyone has seen this before and has any ideas how to fix the issue. I had not touched joystick config prior to erasure of the button entries. Thanks in advance, that said Xp-11 still rocks! John

Hi All, I am sure from my own analysis that my PC would benefit from a GPU upgrade. Pls see below current system specs. I think I skimped on the GPU when I built it!

Here are a few WIP shots of my current project, Oceano County Airport L52 in California. Anyone who uses PilotEdge will probably recognise this airfield immediately, but for others it is a fantastic little GA airfield near to coast in a very scenic part of the state: Thanks to many of the on-site photographs provided to me by the airfield, this should be a fairly accurate photoreal representation of L52. I'll also try to include an ortho for the surrounding area with more accurately placed autogen, as the default overlays fills the beach and dunes with trees. Some additional features for XP11 are normal/PBR maps for many of the building…

First, I've been simming for 20 years. I flew the original PMDG 757 in Fly2k and have their NGX and 777 planes in FSX. I've flown a 777 simulator and landed the bird three times, once in a 20 knot crosswind. I've flown 10 hours in a Cessna, learning how to manage torque on take off. My problem is when I load up X-Plane with the default 737, as soon as I add power, the plane veers left. I went to external view. As soon as I add power, the nosewheel goes left. Big time. It only responds to toe brakes, yes, that's right. You hit the toe brakes, and the nose wheel turns. I have Saitek pedals. They are working correctly. I've calibrated them in win 10 wit…

This is about the GTN for XP! By RealityXP. I bought the Reality GTN yesterday, I can not get it to work. I have read many forum threads on their "officical" support pages. Read the manual three times. Many people have had similar problems to me. I have tried almost everything, and spent four hours trying to get the thing to work. I have detailed my issues, questions and support into this thread I need ideas, and help and after six hours ( I know that is not a long time but I see responses to other issues and mine has not been addressed) not a soul has contributed anything including Jean-luc the developer (I don't know if there are other staff in…

Just saw this during update check.

I'm kind of getting into XP11 due to the fact that the airport environs seem more "alive" and compliant with FAA/ICAO standards... In any case, I have a few hangups: I miss FSUIPC. This allowed me to program hardware setups for each aircraft- so I could swap my throttle quadrant out from turboprop (for use in the Majestic Q400) to 767 jet throttle quadrant... the power levers are in different spots on each quadrant module, so when I change aircraft in P3D and the hardware, it all matches up with the correct aircraft. In XP, it seems I have to go back and reprogram "axes" each time. I also miss programming axes values to actuate parking brakes (I us…

I ended up deleted all the tile because the BI source photos were all bad. Any pointer to a good source is appreciated. Thanks

Great to see their products in XPlane....now available via their website.

It looks like the Flight Factor A320 is finally getting close to release. Thomas Rasmussen just released this video exploring the cockpit, the most detailed and in-depth look we've gotten so far. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm pretty excited!
