AUTO LOD 1.3 Pull it outta your non-active script folder and into the active...and then enjoy constant 'real-time' LOD adjustment, and the best FPS your system can render, with your XP11 personal graphics settings in play. :)

I'm still finding my way around all that is available for XP. My build is slowing starting to take amazing shape especially sceneries. Now I am wondering if there is a products available that would help read and place objects like Instant Scenery. The WED program is available but looks to me like a fairly big learning curve. Bryan

I am just trying out X Plane after being a FSX/P3D user. I notice that you cannot bring up individual gauges with the shift F key combination like you can in the other sims. Am I missing something or is their a whole new world to discover. Thanks.

Red halo when Propeller is spinning, gets really annoying during nigh flight, is it suppose to be like this ??? Cheers Yair

Just installed & activated the pack, I can see it in my drop down plugins menu, but nothing else that no Control-Panel no icons, nothing. Any ideas ?? Tnx Yair

Undoubtedly! I couldn't ask for more - and just wished I ever have had anything even remotely close to it in MSFS when I was using that platform long ago... X-Plane is indeed the best example of how a commercial flight simulator can turn into an example of cooperation and growth due to the creativity of the user community. Examples like the NOAA plugin - which is still and by far my preferred weather injector for X-Plane - Tony's World2XP, and Ortho4XP by another author which allow for such a unique freeware experience, in some aspects superior to what I had in MSFS... The Zibo 738 is the latest example of what freeware in X-Plane can attain. The detai…

Hi my first post after my first payware purchase, I am stuck and at a loss with my FF 767 after completing my first flight I landed the plane to find that the thrust reversers put the throttle to full and made me over shoot the runway, all the stock planes work fine, I have seen this issue mentioned in other posts but no solution any help would be appreciated I have opened a ticket with Flight Factor but still no answer is this a known problem or just me? Any help will be most appreciated.

A bit like the "tourist" section in my blog (but then again not like that): http://flyingxplane.apps-1and1.net/atmospheric-aircraft-for-x-plane/

I have a CH throttle quadrant that I use for landing gear and parking brake controls (levers). The switches on it I use (FSX & P3d along with EZDOK) to set my internal views. ex, Overhead, Autopilot Panel, FMS, etc. I would like to use this same setup for XP11 but can't figure out how to do it since EZDOK isn't an option. When I go to edit the views I am confused on the procedure. There is a list of 10 view locations and also 10 memorize view locations which I don't know how to set. Also not sure if these are the selections I need or not. Just need some guidance on how to set my desired views using the switches on the CH throttle. I know how to set views using C…

A few days ago I dealt with three VERY stressful events, then made it home and encountered an event while using X-Plane that about blew me over the edge. As a result I made a disparaging comment about needing to re-activate X-Plane very frequently. On this regard... 1. I should NOT have allowed my previous stress roll over to here. For this I apologize to all, especially the X-Plane franchise. 2. As another poster pointed out, it was NOT X-Plane causing me to frequently re-enter my purchase verification, it was another product used within X-Plane, that uses an interface that looks remarkably like the X-Plane interface itself. It turns out that it is this add on …

I know there are 2 750 add ons for x plane one is allot let money but i have not used either the flightone ( flight1) or reality xp versions in xplane 11 just wondered if anyone has an experience with either and can speak t0 functionality or a recommendation Note ; I do not have to have the gauge in the panel, a stand alone add on gauge is fine with me Pete

The excellent program for Goflight hardware we use in FSX and P3D is now available for X-Plane. Yes you heard that right - real Goflight support for X-Plane. It is in Beta right now, at this point you can only use default datarefs and there is no detective for it yet to sniff out the other variables , but it is a start. I gave up on X-goflight as it's developer appears to be MIA. but this looks promising. http://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/products/goflight-interface-tool.html

Hey, I was just wondering what the official word is on the current state of X-Plane's shadows? Right now, they just seem all over the place. Jaggied, inaccurate, shimmery and people are using private dataref fixes just to get them sorted inside cockpits. I assumed this was on the to-do list but searching around, I haven't seen them make any mentions of them, unless I missed it? Probably my number one annoyance with X-Plane right now and getting them sorted would be absolutely fantastic.

Oh wow what a surprise !!!! This should be interesting ! http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/127902-released-the-reality-expansion-pack-for-default-cessna-172sp/

Sadly, according to the description of Air Hauler 2, this product is not going to be developed for X-Plane 11. https://www.justflight.com/product/air-hauler-2 Do you know if Air Huler 1 X-Plane version runs on X-Plane 11? In addition, could you recommend any airline management for X-Plane. I find that Air Hauler allows to manage an airline or pilot carrer without an internet connection, or using a server. What airline managers do you use. Does "FS Economy" or "FS airlines" runs well with X-Plane? Do you recommend any other. Thanks

Hello, I just wonder if I will be able to copy paste my profiles for X camera that I created for Xplane 10 in my yet to installed Xplane 11? Or do I have to create others one because something changed in xplane11? Thanks for your help, Best regards, Pierre

Hi, anyone found a cure for this. I poked around and some were using x-camera, which I don't own. Any knobs which use the scroll wheel can interfere if you move off the clickable area. Really frustrating. Others have said the devs were aware of it. Not sure what to do. Bob

For those who wish to add free plug-ins for X-Plane. This is an excellent video from Thomas Rasmussen. If any people know about other plug-ins not mention in this video, please let the community know.

I've been building out the eastern US, working my west. So far I've been creating links to my custom scenery folder one tile at a time. Is there a better way to link large amounts of tiles, so that each tile is not an entry in the scenery.ini file?

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I NEED TO REAUTHORIZE MY X-PLANE PURCHACE OF X-PLANE EVERY FEW WEEKS???????????????? I HAVE SPENT THE LAST HOUR AND A HALF TRYING TO REAUTHOORIZE MY PURCHASE, AND HAVE MET WITH TOTAL FAILURE. IT FAILS TO ACCEPT ANY PASSWORD I HAVE USED WITH XAVIATION. I AM TOTALLY FED UP, AND ABOUT TO DELETE THIS ENTIRE DAMX PROGRAM. I UNDERSTAND PROTECTING FROM PIRACY BUT THIS IS REDICULOUS. PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS BEFORE I GIVE UP AND JUST TOTALLY DELETE THIS NOW WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK THAT I PAID FOR BUT THAT REFUSES TO ALLOW ME TO USE IT.....

Newbie to XP...old hand at P3D... Many XP planes come with several paint schemes... Many times all I want is 1-2 variants showing in the Flight Configuration window....how to disable a plane variant without deleting the base plane and have the variant ready to reactivate if I want? I've looked on the web but just can't find an intelligent explanation... Any help appreciated.. John H.

Yesterday Austin did a "Ask Me Anything" on reddit. A couple of interesting answers: Question: "How is the revamp of the X-plane ATC going and what upcoming updates are you most excited about?" Answer: "As for ATC, I have done a huge amount to make the AI planes fly better for 11.10, will have MORE done for 11.20, and we are starting to fix bugs in the ATC interface that you use when you fly right now." Question: "Is there any plan to make contrails not so dark? It's my one complaint about high altitude flying." Answer: "We know about the contrails and all other particle effects that are very very weak and that is very high on our radar..…

When I open Plane Maker, in an attempt to modify the standard C172 panel, the panel is blank - no dials. I then try to re-open the standard C172 but there is still no panel content and the program will often then freeze. I recently did the latest X-Plane 11 update. Any ideas? I'd like to add a DME and HSI to the standard C172 panel. Thanks, David
