    Hi there, XP11 beta 3 here. The night sky is way darker than XP10, and I can see no stars at all. Are you also experiencing the same? Safe landings!

    Earlier in the beta releases there was a DataRef editor that let us reduce the haze. I used it with some pleasant results. But now, when i call up the "fog" selection and try to change it, there's no way to save the change. Am I missing something, or has Xplane pulled the ability to make changes ?

    Hi everyone- Perhaps silly to write this as we're all X-Plane fans, but after this flight I just had to share this. I've owned both X10 and X11 since they have been released, but today was the first time I actually attempted a "real" flight with my first purchased addon Airfoil Labs 172. After the short flight from KRME to KSYR, I literally was more impressed with the whole experience than the patch work effort I've been making FSX over the past years. Airfoil Labs made an amazing C172 that was exciting to fly and neat features like fogging windows. The X11 GNS430 with the database updates from navigraph and the FAA download made the trip complete. The v…

    I'm new to XP (11 installed) and slowly getting used to it, I have downloaded and installed the recommended libraries etc from X-Plane.org. Something I have noticed though, is that the Qantas static aircraft livery at airports is horrible and bears little resemblance to the real world. I have browsed all installed folders trying to find and replace these aircraft but have been unsuccessful. Can someone point me to the correct library/Folder so that I can fix them. The aircraft textures concerned aren't in MisterX, FAIB or Fruit Stand Libraries, which seem to be the logical locations. steve

    Good evening guys .... [memo to self: what a silly statement to make on a global flight sim forum!] I have just upgraded my 'clean' test setup to the latest beta, only to find that the Furness Peninsula in the UK appears to have been the victim of a tectonic shift? (and there was me blaming the dog....) Is there anyone out there with the latest v11.01b1 (and a few minutes to spare), who would care to try a circuit of EGNL for me before I file a bug report? It would be really appreciated. Regards,

  11. I would recommend this plane - it's a lovely model with good flight dynamics (performance figures included as PDFs). There is a cockpit mod if you like on the Org. I also just added a registration to one of the fancier liveries.... all of liveries are apparently devoid of registration numbers. It works in XP11 and 10. If you use 11 it has the stock FMS which is actually decent.

  15. Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted...so hi everyone! I installed (copied over) the Drzewiecki designs New York XP and Miami XP along with New York airports that I had in my X-plane 10 folder. As soon as I went to launch X-Plane 11, it gave me errors and had to be closed. When I looked at my log report, it showed incompatabilities with stuff from X-Plane 10. i removed the folders associated with and still no luck. I thought to myself, now what, I have to reinstall X-Plane 11 all over? Well, I ran the updater, then when it asked to replace nav resources and such, I said to overwrite it. Now all is good again. Just thought I would put this her…

    I did install the NZMF scenery and there seems to be a library missing on my system. The log file shows that there are isdg objects missing, but i`m not able to find a isdg library. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: ISDG=International Scenery Development Group ?! So maybe in one of their sceneries... EDIT2: no luck. I have all libraries, which are in the "X-Plane Library Installer Base Pack Version 3.3".

    First off, let me start with a quick background, I have been using Microsofts flight simulator since windows 95. I was die hard MSFS until 2010. What happened? I got frustrated with all the weather engines available for fsx until active sky next came out. I was tired of flying across the Atlantic to either have my sim crash or my aircraft crash due to wind changes. I decided to give x-plane 10 a chance and the smoothness and the ability to use the flightfactor 777 across the Atlantic was a delight. P3D was and is not in running for me as a successor because it's too much fsx, even though it's stable and smooth it just feels horrible now. Now with X-Plane 11, the look…

    Here are a couple of shots of a work in progress for my first X-Plane Livery for the Aerobask Eclipse. Nothing too elaborate, compared to what's available. Thought I would share and ask for some feedback. I only have the one side done for now...it's a lot of work getting it right, since the white livery that Aerobask has out for free isn't broken out into separate layers.

    Seeing that this had supposedly been updated to v1.4 in Sept. 2016, I duly downloaded the revised file from my account. On inspection, it seems identical to an earlier version (with the files mostly dated 3 May 2015). The only exception I can find is the installation doc. which is from Sept 2016, and mentions XP11. Is that it? The updated NYC package, however, has completely new files throughout. Strange. BTW, when one installs both packages, one after the other, the scenery.ini can likely put bits in the wrong place. In the hierarchy, where should the 000 Drzewiecki Design Library lie in relation to the city XP and terrain directories (which, I believe s…

  25. Is there any way to turn off the ATC Violation pop up screen? It usually pops up just seconds before touchdown and takes up the entire screen (which, as you can imagine, is incredibly annoying when your about to land). Sometimes the default ATC acts a bit crazy and I just want to come in and land on my designated runway. Having this goofy screen interrupt everything drives me nuts.
