The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hello, I apologise if this is the wrong spot for this question... I got a notice from Carenado that the King Air B200 for "X-Plane 11 only" has been released. My question: is this a new aircraft or an update to the existing B200 for X-Plane? I have this aircraft. Checked the download page. It's the same version number I already have. Ideas on what this 'new' aircraft is about?

Just updated to 1.2 with XP11 compatibility.

I have paired down my excess FPS by utilizing all features, and to give me pretty constant 30 FPS. XP11 is fabulous now...and here I am just off the north coast of Lake Erie, heading towards Toronto Island Airport.... I've got everything in a sim I could want...authentic scenery via self-generated high zl ortho, great FPS, smooth animation, and a great load of sky to fly through! The screenshot details come out much better, if you view the pics, by left clicking twice on each screenshot, to bring up the maximum view size....

As the title suggests. Head to your xaviation account and download the beauty! Stu

I noticed on the default GPS (and on my GTN 750 in the Panthera which, I believe, uses the GPS data) there are a ton of way points I could use for flight planning purposes. However, I don't find most of those listed on the charts I am pulling up from Skyvector and/or searching the internet. Any suggestions on what map I can use that will generate data from the GTN430 file that I am using for the source of my Nav data?

How do you just change plane in X-Plane 11 In the new X-Plane 11, when you change plane it trows you back to the original airport, in X-Plane 10 once you were at an airport, you could just change plane and remains at that sam airport

I think they are being generated by W2XP, but not sure. Anyway, does anybody know what file is generating them all...and can you reduce the amount of boats spawned, or can I just delete them out of the picture... Help, most appreciated. Too may upon the waterways for R.L. marine traffic, recreational, or otherwise. The boats I'm talking about are stationary three masted schooners, sail boats, and motorboats.

Dear all, i hope someone can help me. I have run Ortho4xp to produce a tile but when I load this in Custom Scenery and run XP, both 10 and 11, XP crashes to desktop. When I look at the log I see it crashes when loading the tile but gives no indication as to why. I just get a CTD with no message concerning missing textures etc. I have tried producing the tile several times in Ortho4xp but always with the same result. It is a large tile in the region of 7gb and is produced in zoom 17/19, Ie, 19 fir airports etc, 17 for rest. I am not sure what I am doing wrong I have tried Build Tile a number of times to check everything has been downloaded and it appears that t…

I tried it in an airstrip I fly my real 182, and outperforms my 182 in climb by far,(mine is STOL equipped with MT prop and VGs, so its even a better performer than a stock 182, scenery not impressed at all, are there add ons like ORBX for Xplane 11? Initial impressions not good, although the flight model does fell nice, seems waay too powerful.

Hi, i´m trying to use Reshade, but unfortunately i can`t load it in X-Plane 11. I follow all the instructions of the installation, copy all reshade files to XP11 main folder and check that all the paths for shaders and textures are correct, but when i press Shift+F2 in XP11 nothing happens. Please can you help me to solve this issue?

Will post some pics after the first few flights! Can't wait! Ses

Good morning illustrious scenery building friends! Can anyone point me in the right direction for orthos of Norway? Many thanks! Tusen takk!

I have been playing around with ortho4xp for a few weeks. I recently created orthos of the entire Alaska range and have been flying bush planes in and around the valleys. I have been pretty disappointed in the quality of the tiles I created; some are faded out and some look crisp. I am using Bing and I went online the check the quality of the satellite imagery on that website. At some levels of zoom, the photos look good and at other levels they are very mismatched. How can I tell which zoom level I'm on when I'm looking at the website? Should I just zoom in maximally and zoom out by increments? I want to chose the zoom level that produces the most consiste…

I have read in a post that i can turn down the haziness using Data Ref Editor. The post stated that I could change this value for haze reduction by altering the following value from 1.5000000 to 0.3000000 : Fog/std_deviation_cutoff=0.3000000 Later in the same post it refers to using the Tab key to save the value. (I am aware it will reset) I don't seem to be able to save the new value using the Tab key were others can. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

The latest XP11 current XP11 update has given me the best FPS performance, since getting into XP around v9.x I am getting outstanding performance on my quite old system, around 45-52 FPS, in general, and over cities such as Detroit (which at the high World Detail Levels is deadly for FPS) easily maintain 28-38 FPS. If I drop the World Detail to HIGH, I push to 55 FPS. This is way FPS overkill for XP11. You really don't get any performance premiums, over the threshold of 30 FPS. Laminar has stated this. Therefore...my question, as I have way more FPS headroom now, than I need for smooth animation, and cockpit systems performance.... With REFLECTIONS…

Anyone running something like a Ryzen (any variant) + RX 480 or 580? Very curious how well XP11 runs on that..Does it take advantage of lots of cores?

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could do a repaint for the aircraft I currently take flight lessons in. The tail number is N685DW. The aircraft currently does not have the "DANIEL WEBSTER COLLEGE" on the tail anymore. It is just plain white in that area now.

I'm right now at 5,500 ASL, and am heading just west off the coast of Lake Huron, in the state of Michigan...and... was wondering why some lakes have a boat or two, that I know are from my OSM library. Well...why some inland lakes showing 3D boats, while other lakes none...and I think what is happening, is that Ortho4XP assigns object placements, depending on what it is converting from the .jpg satellite picture...so as you can see in this screen shot, there are two 3D boats, on the lake aft of my left wing, but on surrounding lakes, no boats are placed upon the ortho as 3D objects. I think it is because in real-life, there WERE two boats on that lake...while the o…

Hello everyone! I just recently converted over to X-plane from FSX, and it wasn't easy leaving all those add-ons behind! But it was time to begin anew with X-plane 11. The sim feels great, and looks great, however the add-on developers for XP are few. So few that there is almost no competition for quality payware aircraft, if you want a certain plane there is usually only one developer that has what you want. And here begins my horror story of awful support, rude website owners, and just general amazement at how poorly I have been treated by certain a certain Xplane developer and the Xplane.or site owner. I purchased the Flight Factor 767 from the X-plane.org store, …

Hi Cannot seem to figure out how to assign the default (Zibo MOD) AP CMD to my Saitek MultiPanel AP button? Anyone out there managed to achieve this or any help appreciated??

Hello, Just downloaded the XP11 demo for Mac on my brand new MacBook Pro 2017. I am familiar with XP10 on Windows but would love to run 11 - yes, at lower settings - on my Mac, so let's give it a try. Everything seems very slow. Menus, etc. Would be hard to imagine flying with it. Is it just me? Probably not. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Philippe
