Hey, I'm trying to build some ortho to go with MisterX's KLAX. Problem is, there seems to be a problem with the tile coordinates. The coordinates in say, Google earth for the tile that has KLAX is Lat: 33 Long: -118. So I made a tile with a base mesh from viewfinderpanoramas.org and the HD mesh as the custom overlay, the terrain turned into a blurry mesh. Looked like zoom level 1 with no details, autogen or anything on it. The lat/long problem also shows up when previewing said coordinates in Ortho4XP. So am I misunderstanding something, is this normal, a bug or what? To get the correct tile, I need to use 33 -119 in Ortho4XP but do I sti…

I've been struggling with a weird problem.... I installed a nice freeware KRNT Renton, WA and KBFI Boeing Field airport, but the field is populated by these off-white colored Lear jets and other static aircraft that I don't want as the scenery came with its own nice statics plus I added more. I don't see these default statics in overlay editor, various exclusions tried in Overlay Editor don't seem to help, and I tried disabling the "KSEA Demo Area" and shut off the "Default Airports" too, also with no success. Any ideas on why these two airports have these statics, and how to remove them? Thanks, Steve

I was just reading comments on the developer blog from the 'Life after 11.0' post and one of the things Ben says leads me to wonder if XPlane is supposed to work offline for 14 days in non demo mode. If I try to start it offline it just says it cant write the key to wherever it wants to write to and therefore will start in demo mode. understood? and yes, I understand, but I don't like the idea that if I lose internet or if LR's server goes down then Im stuck in demo mode. does yours work offline in non demo mode?

Had to reinstall win 7 as my win10 free upgrade went south. Anyone do any experimentation and a comparison of performance with xp11 between to the 2 OS's? Thanks Bob

May be a while for a FI moderator to approve my post there and then even longer to get an answer. FI with P3D is working perfect, I bought the full program. But with the XP demo in XP11 I see a curved screen in front of me, I am not in the cockpit. I am sure I am missing a setting but cannot find it, please help me get into the VR VC. Thank you. I am going to put this in the VR forum also.

RXP GTN 750 stops responding through PilotEdge. All functions of the GTN seem to be working normally, (other than no TCAD) but I lose communications with PilotEdge. It works fine for about 5 minutes. On the PE map, it shows that I am still connected, and on the right frequency, but I lose all communication through the GTN to PE. I can verify this by listening to the PE Receiver. This is what the last part of the LOG shows.

I wanted to write this at least one time :) . downloading now, 450MB worth.

Ok despite my efforts to try to understand the XP scenery structure, I am sure I will be displaying my ignorance here. If we used the default scenery to build overlays for tiles built in Ortho4xp, should we rebuild those overlays now that the files were upgraded by Laminar. I believe they added additional data regarding building heights? Would this change the overlay? Thanks. Jim

Lets hope number 13 is not unlucky for some I've not seen the release notes, but have gone for it anyway.

I flew a little last night, and had not updated in a bit and the night/dusk/dawn sky had horrible banding, could have updated before the flight but was in a hurry. I updated this morning and the sky is improved, in all scenario's hardly any banding at all.

Hello, Starting to use XP11 alternating with prepar3D. Does anyone know where I can obtain a list of detailed stock airports that come with XP11 please. Many thanks steve

Hi, having an issue where, despite no weather/crosswind, all aircrafts turn left. With engines idle, some planes even turn slowly by themselves on ground. Relatively new to X-Plane, so really dont what to do. This is X-Plane 11, newest beta.

I do not like large airports mult runway and complex taxiway. I like TNCM and PAJN both are good and beautiful airports. any town city island airports? can any one recommend for B737 nice and beautiful xp11 default single runway airports in north American ?

I had this program running like a clock. Not anymore though. This morning I built two tiles east of Los Angeles. They showed in the sim fine. Great. I built 4 more near Las Vegas just now. Task completed all success. Not in the sim. No symlinks were made in my XP11 custom scenery directory. No tiles exist in the main O4XP/Tiles folder! Where did they go? EDIT: DERP DERP DERP This was a classic case of PEBKAC. I unchecked the custom build_dir and now it's building tiles in the main O4XP directory again like it used to. Apparently I was confusing the symlink file path described in the cfg file with the custom build_dir path in the application itself.…

so,...where is B16? LOL...I've been squinting, looking all around...and can't see it...LOL. Dang...which direction is it coming from?!?!?!?!? Cheers, all...

Hi all, I yesterday suddenly decided to give it a go. Had fallen in love with the IXEG 737 Classic for a long time and so bought XP11, IXEG 737, xEnviro and X-Camera. My main sim is P3D v3.4 with airliners that I consider the most realistic, so felt that I was missing this great simulation by staying away. I want to write my initial views on my new venture in XP11. XP11 (XP11.00pb15) I have only good things to say for XP11 as a simulator engine. It works beautifully well. I love how fast and responsive everything is. The time it takes to enter the settings change something and return to the flight is crazy fast compared to P3D, where you lose more seconds wait…

I'm using the FF 757 v2 on x-plane 11. I have assigned the reverse thrust to a button on my saitek throttle, using "hold throttle reverse at max". I am only getting the right engine to reverse. Any ideas out there?? I don't understand all the thrust reverse #1-8 choices. Thanks

757 v2 with x-plane 11pb15. I have lost nosewheel steering. When you displace the rudder pedal the rudder moves, the tiller moves in the cockpit, but the nosewheels do not move. Using MFG Crosswind Rudders. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks

I wonder, what is the actual visual impact (if any?) of running with Maximum (compressed texture files), or Maximum (no compression)??? I also wonder what the FPS impact might be between the two. I have tried both, and I don't truly see any real degradation of visuals, when running in compressed mode. Is there actually? A heapful of 'wondering' going on.... (rubbing chin...)

Hi, I love flying in and out of KSAN, and am pretty happy with one of the payware versions (Mister X?, not sure) for X-Plane. I also like some of the payware airports--and would like to know if anyone has tried Icarus' new KSAN via X-Aviation? Is the upgrade worth $20US? Thanks Bill

This plane looks really good. I don't have ANY tubeliners for XP yet, and I'd like one with FMS. (I do have the ddenn Challenger though). People that have it - any good? Any showstopping bugs? What about that ATS model that's in the works? Should I hold off? http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/117870-version-130-pro-is-available-for-download/

For about the past 3-4 beta updates, an excessive amount of power is required to taxi the default 737. Only in this last update, has the power needed to taxi gone back to a more normal setting. Still takes almost full thrust to get the 737 to turn if taxing slowly or from a stop. Also had a problem with the video slowing way down after a thousand plus mile flight. Almost like a memory leak. Could these problems have come from Windows 10 monthly update last week? They just sent out a new one today to fix a lot of broken stuff. Terry

You really want (yes...you do!) to crank this setting to the full 10, and then leave it there. It does not take away one FPS, in any situation, but man oh man, do you EVER gain aircraft control of all situational flight surfaces. I always had this set to around 3 in both 10 and 11, due to thinking it would be another parasitical load upon the CPU. Not the slightest....and the control gain, is impressive at the max setting of 10. Cheers,

Seems just recently when I request a gate pushback in the IXEG 737 I get some very odd behavior. The straight-back direction is fine, but when the truck turns the nose wheel to point my jet either nose left or nose right, it starts shaking the plane violently. At times it literally flips my plane and crashes it on the ground. I'm not sure if this is just a bug with IXEG and the changing XP beta code, or if I have my controls improperly configured. It is almost like the nose wheel doesn't want to turn. Anyone else experience this?

Over at the Org http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/117041-news-from-aerobask-eclipse-550-ng-and-panthera-30-hd/ I'm especially excited about the EA50 - love that little jet. I'm just a little bummed they aren't considering RXP GTN750/650 integration. Aerobask has worked so hard to accommodate all three OS's (impressive for sure!) and I applaud that but their avionics are still lacking IAP's (at least is what I took from their announcement) - a MAJOR component to any TAA glass cockpit aircraft today. There's always planemaker lol! If Bluebell can do it maybe I can too! But still it's early to say for sure... perhaps their Dynon Skyview will ta…
