I can open the scenery with overlay editor, but i don`t see preferences for objects. Is there a way to place it on top of the used mesh? OK, now in WED i can see preferences for objects. But how do i have to change the altitude, so that it fits?

Does anyone know if Xsquawkbox works with generic FSD servers? I attempted to connect to the Apollo III FSD server. It says connected, but doesn't appear in the whazzup.txt file. I'm not sure it it's a problem with the FSD server which might need to be corrected, or if XSquawkbox is just not compatible. The previous X86 version worked. Thanks in advance for anyone with feedback. -- L. James -- L. D. James [email protected] www.apollo3.com/~ljames

I don't know why people think it's complicated. It was remarkably easy to do. But it was too chaotic looking IMO, with the overlays sloppily laying over the photo and trees showing up in random places they shouldn't. The photo textures in flat fields looked so much better than stock XP11 but otherwise, it wasn't a clean enough presentation for me. I can see where this would look really good with complete OSM coverage via W2XP like in Europe, but I don't think it's for me in it's current form. Back to default it is. Really hope they'll be an HDMesh v4 at some point and someone releases an update for the stock ground textures to provide better color and va…

Is there a program as good as ProATC for XPlane?

Now XP11 compatible. DL: https://gumroad.com/l/JATkA#

I am new to FlyWithLua and had a programming question. I have installed the latest version of FlyWithLua into X Plane 11 and it went well. What I want to do is setup a XX.lua script to stop having to change two data references every time I start X Plane 11, the two I want to automate are: Clouds / cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio = 0 Fog / fog_be_gone = 0.2000 First can both of these be programmed and if so could someone provide me the exact script so I can copy it into notepad++ and save the XX.lua file into my script folder? Thanks in advance Joe

I really enjoy my ORBX products but when are They going to wake up and support XP? The good news is just about every other developer is moving to include XP11 but not Orbx. They choose a beta sim AFS2 that has no add-ons. This dumbfounds me!

X-Plane 10, IXEG 737 and ENBR -> ENGM. After months of X-Plane 11, I tried X-Plane 10 again with IXEG 737, it really is much better in the sim it was written for.

Nice to browse thorugh it, down to 1989 :-) http://austinmeyer.com/blog/ Interesting to read what he's been telling in his public talks about the improvements for XP11 http://austinmeyer.com/2017/01/05/x-plane-11-flight-model-improvements/

I wanted to fly from LOWW to LIRF and what happened... JarDesign A320 quality.

Ive been using Ortho for XP for a few months and I am slowly increasing my coverage. For the most part I love what Ortho does. I have an issue with some but not all overlays. For some reason I end up with trees in wrong places. For example on beaches, in golf courses and on roads. Like I said it only happens in some overlays. Anyone with a solution? Thanks

I created a new draped poly and proceeded to create a large taxiway system for an airport. It looks terrific and works well...however....when I use the XP11 Customise option to select a gate or starting point, none of the taxiways I created with the draped poly show....only a runway sitting by itself. Do I still have to create a taxiway using the default XP11 taxiway surface?

Hi, an unknown addon has placed trees on the runway of EGPH. TwinComanche_1 To get rid of the trees, i did create 2 exclusions (objects and forests) via WED for an existing scenery (EGPH by tdg). But the trees are still there. So how do i exclude them?

The VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T Project. Hi:) The development status of the VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T project is pretty advanced...I'll be using this topic as one of the update channels for the project. The Tecnam P2006T is an Italian high-winged, twin-engine all-metal light aircraft built by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam, which is based in Italy. The P2006T is the lightest twin-engine certified aircraft available, and is a four-seat aircraft with fully retractable landing gear and liquid-cooled Rotax 912 engines. This is the biggest, most comprehensive project of mine up to date, and it is going to be a great flyer, with the ultimate focus (as always...) on…

Looking at this image... This is ZL16 with custom ZL18 3km perimeter around my home airports. Is there a reason why some trees are all over the industrial areas that have buildings? Some of the overlay seems to be working, the houses along roads are correct, and there is a neighborhood off in the distance (circled in green) that's normal etc. Is there a problem using the mixed overall 16 then doing perimeters in higher ZL's? Or is there another explanation? The OSM data isn't present in those locations?

Simply a link, screenshots available on the download page .

What is the most realistic heli for X-plane 11? I would love to find one that is about as good as the Huey for DCS.

This will be coming down the pipline and it looks like it will be a very advanced GA aircraft. I've been keeping an eye on it. They are talking about building a Lear 35 next, also with very advanced system simulation. Maybe even working circuit breakers. "We hope to have our M20R Ovation released in the next month or two. It should enter the beta stage soon." http://www.afmsimulation.com/m20r/

Good Day, I have xplane 11 and am trying to do ils approaches using the 10NM feature. AP,Nav, and Appr are configured on default Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Every time I line up with glideslope, my plane goes left or right and will not follow. I am using xplane 530 for setup. Do I need to load Navigraph to make this work. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, George Ingram

So I took the plunge and bought XP11, updated to SkyMaxx 4 along with real world weather connector. So for I only installed these + IXEG 737 and Aerosoft EGLL Heathrow just to do some testing. Also running quite medium settings except number of object (I need this on maximum or else the ground looks like a desert). Still, with an I7 OCed to 4.5 ghz and a GTX 970, I am only getting around 17 FPS. I've tried turning off threaded optimization, but that doesnt make any difference for me at all. Is my system really that bad for XP11, or is it anything I can to to tweak it? Thanks! :smile:

I was wondering if you could make the yokes on the Airfoilabs 172 disappear like many other add-ons let you? I can't seem to find that option. Joe

Thought I'd stop beating the haze drum for a while and turn to ATC. The 124thATC seemed a good fit, so I've downloaded and dropped the folder into the plugins folder of xplane 11. But thats as far as I can get. Could someone walk me through the correct installation and a brief overview of how to access this in Xplane ? Thanks

I specifically want to know if anyone is using MisterX KPHX in xplane 11. It says it works for xplane 10 but nothing about xplane 11. If not, what would be the next best suggestion for a free KPHX scenery for xp11. I tried the gateway but the only thing there is 2D

Not sure where to post this so apologize if I need to move this discussion. Started using 124thATC and realized that it requires airports with a tower at a minimum. Two questions: Is there a map/list of towers, or a way to filter the gateway scenery map to include only airports with towers? In the manual, they discuss adding tower frequencies to smaller airports. Not sure if I will do this, but would I find the apt.data for a gateway airport under "global airports" in custom scenery, or in the global scenery?

Hope someone out there can help. I am new to the X-plane world and have not been able to get this answered. I have the full global version of X-plane 10. My hardware consists of a Precision Flight Controls C2 Professional Flight Console and a set of PFC rudder pedals. Both are USB though I had the pedals before the C2 so they plug into separate usb ports. After I was able to get the correct x-plane 10 driver from PFC and put it into the resources/plugin folder I have been able to use the hardware and fly in X-plane for the first time. BUT - I cannot calibrate the hardware except for the rudder pedals and toe brakes. X-plane recognizes that I have the USB rudd…
