Hello everyone, Have been reading and thinking about VR al lot lately. In the P3d section there are some threads about it but since flyinside has just been released for XP I'm interested in anyones expierence with it. The opinions vary widely. Some people thinks it's amazing but others complain about the low resolution and the need for killer pc to run VR. I mostly fly GA aircraft and fly only in good weather conditions. I use Xp10 and 11 and I also bought p3d, fsx and aeroflyfs2. Therefore there are a lot of options to try VR. My pc specs are: I7 2600 k @ 4.4 gHz Msi gtx970 slightly overclocked Win 7 64 bit 32 Gb high quality memory 750 Watt psu …

XP11..... Can someone advise me how to be further back from my plane when going to Outside View( Chase Mode)? I seem to sit right on top of the plane up close at default. In XP10, I could easily set myself back..but not sure of what setting (where in the Graphics Section) in XP11, that you can do this..or can you even? Thanks Ses

Hi, any tools for tweaking the haze in XP 11? I liked the RealTerraHaze plugin that could tweak a blue haze. XP 11 colours are a bit dull.

Went for a quick fly out of Liverpool this evening and I suddenly noticed the water was completely different. It was quite windy and I noticed there were white caps, waves rolling into shore and the sun was sparking off the wave tops. I haven't been on the pop honest. I have taken pics but don't have time to post them right now but I will do. Has anyone else noticed or is this old news? They are certainly not perfect but it shows a lot of promise. cheers Peter

I do the majority of my flying online. I'd like to figure out how to set the GNS530 and 430 back to US 25 khz spacing. The 8.33 or whatever its set to takes forever for comm tuning and is annoying. Is there a way to do this for all aircraft or does it have to be done manually per plane? And how to do it?

Not sure exactly how to phrase this...but I'm a new convert to XP11 from P3D and am learning the "conversion" slowly but surely. One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to have a new flight start with the axes matching my controller position. I have a CH yoke, pedals and TQ. I also have a Saitek trim wheel and switch panel...so if I happen to start a new flight with the engines running I have to wait for the AC to load up i have to immediately press my assigned button for "full brakes" to emulate parking brake so the plane doesn't fly off lol. I then have to fiddle with my throttles (moving up then down a couple times as quickly as possible to bring the engines to…

I'm really interested to hear if anyone has moved from good old FSX to Xplane and what are your thoughts and opinions.

Hey guys, uploaded 30+ Challenging Airstrips for Lesotho Africa. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36088-lesotho-airstrips/ Have fun and happy landings Alex

Hi I am new to X Plane 10. I was used to FSX with FSUIPC4 but XPUIPC needs a Server IP address I change the IP address in the \Resources\plugins folder to my PC IP address but message tells me that the IP address is wrong. I use a single machine.

I'm seeing my GTX 970 maxed out now Has anyone seeing their vram usage spike? I was just planning on adding more RAM but at this rate I'll have to get a new gpu

Hi fellow X-Plane users I have been using SkyMaxx- Pro V2.1 quite happily for the last 2 years, I am now getting a message box appear with the following :- Please remove or update Plugin (SilverLining) (SilverLining.clouds). I have reinstalled V2.1 logged on to X-Aviation with name and password, everything downloads and installs ok, problem still occurs with SkyMaxx- Pro not working . I filed a ticket with X-Aviation a week ago, no response so far :smile: . Anybody had a similar problem or maybe know of a fix? Thanks Patrick

In pb11 I've already re-calibrated my controls. Both in windows and in the sim options I do not see any controls moving rapidly on their own. Only when I'm in game do I see this. Any ideas on how to remedy?

I'm looking to get back in to X-plane, specifically 11....... I am looking at getting a new system for it, would this one be adequate for it? If so, Ill purchase this one:- https://www.scan.co.uk/products/3xs-vengeance-x-overclocked-intel-core-i7-7700k-kaby-lake-16gb-ddr4-12gb-nvidia-gtx-titan-x-256gb-pc Thanks for any advice.

Can anyone recommend the JAR A330? videos on youtube look pretty good, have the A320 and its ok, has some quirks. The BSS sound pack sounds amazing for this as well.

http://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-00-release-notes/ Eventually the replay bar can be hidden...now don't tell devs are deaf to user's suggestion, it took only a couple of years...joking of course, better later than never. Unfortunately nothing on clouds, still working on it but I can see some flight models improvements. Hope they will elaborate more on the dev's blog. Also nice the reload scenery option although ReloadX already did the same, but any plugin we can disinstall is fine. And of course NORMAL_METALNESS for scenery.

Which add-on aircraft take advantage of the new rendering features of XP11? I know vFlyteAir updated their Cherokee (but not their other aircraft yet?), and AeroSphere have updated their Seminole and Arrow. Are there any others that take advantage of the new features (rather than just being compatible with XP11)?

Looks very nice http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/115476-xp-11-better-sky-released/ http://bettersky.ga/ Many thanks to the freeware (!!!) developers!

Just restarted X-Plane 11 to test a change and update to latest came up.

Can I reuse the ortho4xp tiles generated for xplane 10 and just generate new overlay for xp11?

OK... First time I'm posting at avsim.com forums... My recent project for X-Plane is all about powered hang-gliders and hang-glider trikes. (It's a low-cost payware project). Already in this project are the Trike S-1 and the Trike-Buggy S-2 (the S-2 was added to the package today as a free update). Creating a flight model of hang-gliders is a real challenge in X-Plane ("shooting" to the results of it's equations...and when it comes to a weight-shifting hang glider...things gets sometimes a little bit "messy"....). Anyways, here are some screenshots... The project is evolving and new design will be added to the package. You can follow it at And.…

On a few tiles I'm trying to make (with the latest Ortho4XP program) I receive an error code in the DOS shell that says, "ValueError: could not convert string to float: '-1.#IND'" This occurs during step 2 ("build base mesh") when in batch or single build mode. Using Bing data. Any idea what this means or how to fix it? Thanks,

After waiting days and days for a license reactivation I asked politely on the forum whether my ticket might be considered to be worked on. The answer I got from Mr. Cameron was: "The forums are not to be used as a means for speeding up or checking up. Such posts will be subject to deletion." Well, I wonder what a support forum is for if not for checking up on issues.

Hello all, I noticed that we never started here a thread about our MD-82 & 83 project for X-Plane, so probably very few of yours are aware about it. I started the project in the very beginning of 2013 (you can check the original thread started on the .org at that time) with the well-defined objective to hit the market with a product provided with a very high level of realism: this mean that the project totally started from scratch (no conversions and/or re-use of existing material) alongside a long, and still in progress, documentation phase supported by two active MD-82 pilots. AlfaMike became a member of the team one year ago and since then we totally …

I know I am asking a really dumb question here, but here's the issue. As I typically fly one to two hour short hops from airport to airport, I will set up my aircraft, including a flight plan and as I follow the route, I find that my HSI doesn't maintain the same heading indication, compared to the gps. I have to compare the two and make adjustments, via the course knob on the HSI (which I found to be the easiest fix). Is this discrepancy known as gyro drift or is it something else. Since I'm flying the default C172SP, it's all about the guages, but the GPS tends to help a lot, especially when course correcting with the HSI. Last night, during a flight from KLAX to K…

Hello all With sliders on high and just the basic hardware Plugins. I monitoring resources CPU about 35% Mem 63% (5Gig out of 8) and this thing is barely moves, with the same setup I get FSX-SE running ORBX at steady 30FPS ( Limited Frames to 30) Am I missing something here ??
