Hello all As title says, I am having performance problems with wind turbine farms on the america simheaven world2xplane scenery. First I had it with a farm close to KPSP. I edited the corresponding DSF with WED (had to use an old version, as the current one would give me a validation error). I found in the area hundreds of wind turbines using an animated object from opensceneryX. All these object references are defined to show for the default setting of number of objects. Not surprised i had performance problems. I changed 80% of them to show only to insane number of objects and that kind of solved the problem. I had the same problem near KSFO. But this time…

Does anyone else have trouble getting G Plan to connect to X-Plane 10 using Windows 10? G Plan connected one time to X-Plane 10 at KSAN, only one time and I can never get it to connect again. I've tried restarting, uninstalling G Plan then reinstalling etc, went to different airports, (I run out of KPWA normally). Out of ideas.

Hi all, I'm a newby to x-plane, i have x-plane 11 installed since last week. Now i try to get the hd mesh v3 to work. It's the only addon i have so far, so no interfering other addons. I followed the install instruction very strictly and checked if everything was how it shoulc be about 30 times now. I think i did everything totally correct but according to my log.txt x-plane does not load the zzz_hd_global_scenery3 folder. I could use some help here. Here's my scenery_packs.ini: I 1000 Version SCENERY SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EBBR Brussels/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDDF Frankfurt/ SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn-Li…

Argh... O4XP is really neat, but I'm pulling out what's left of my hairs because I lost my autogen again. I have airport buildings, but no autogen. I've ensured build masks and build overlays are checked in the tiles collection screen. And I've copied the latest overlay file from O4XP into XP custom scenery and it resides in the .ini as well I am using ZL16 BI for some testing. Autogen would still display at 16 right? BTW there's a new subforum at the org just for Ortho4XP hurray!

Hi Folks, Just wanted to ask if any of your fully on board XP11 drivers could kindly let me know what the default European scenery is like please. Coming from the FSX/P3d I am use to Orbx style, do not care about AG to much as I am a tube liner guy but do like to see good mountains etc. I hoping that it will not be to long before XP gets seasons as this sorley missed... Sorry I am still on Beta and although KSEA looks great I cannot see how that sort of detail will be global...or I am I wrong.. With Thanks Mark

hey, I use x-plane 11. I did not know if i should put this here or in addon section. Before i start, i want to say that; yes i did already check ###### tons of other guides and installation protocols. Specs: I7-6700HQ GTX 1060 16 Gb 2133Mhz ram 1Tb hdd + 256 SSD (where x plane is installed) My HD scenery mesh is not working, i did what the installation guide said i should, multiple times, i also follow two different youtube videos and a forum post on avsim. W2XP is not working either but i still have some ideas to why that is not working, so i am still trying to figure that out. But regarding HD scenery mesh, which is what i really need help for (i just…

Hi all- What's up with the 'look at the toe brake and have the GA violently swerve in that direction'? I've Googled this and found 'it's realistic' to 'no, it's not'. I'm in the second camp :>) Saitek Combat rudder pedals are in use. Hate to keep referring to P3d and aircraft.cfgs but I gotta do it. Brake sensitivity can be modified here in about 2 minutes. Although I've never had to do it because braking was smoothly and proportional, that is, the more you pressed, the more braking you got. Any help for the newbie here? Mark

Dreamfoil Creations upcoming J3 Cub Tundra Test :smile:

I am trying the networked view option for adding another monitor to my XP11. (I should add that I probably would have tried using two minors off the same GPU, if it wasn't for the fact that my main computer is a 2015 iMac and there is no separate graphics output to send to a second monitor). The "slave" machine has an fps of over 40, and it's a PC, and normally runs a second licensed copy of XP11 very well. But whenever I start up my iMac (master), the PC (correctly) changes location to where the master is. It's then that the slave machine is very jerky and erratic (although the fps is still showing 40+). Could this be a networking issue? Both machines are n…

As the title says, the A.T.S MD82 was just released! You can pick her up over at the org store. Hopefully I'll be purchasing her soon, but looking forward to what others have to say in the mean time.

Hi Guys. Is it possible to have ATC come through the headset like in FSX or is that not possible yet? Thanks. Dennis

Hi, i need the "ADobjets" library and i`m not able to find it. Does somebody know where i can find it? Thanks in advance!

I know people had commented on weathervaning issues with xp11 beta.. i'm not sure this is the same thing, but for some reason with any single prop aircraft i load up, weather carenado or the default cessna.. if i sit on the runway (any runway) and apply full throttle... the plane immediately starts a left turn.. within 2 seconds.. i had limited time with lessons and not with a cessna but i dont recall this ever being the case.. i know some rudder was needed but not the degree things seem to be here.. I've done the data output to see that the rudder is centered and no control surfaces are moving and also disconnected all joysticks to rule them out (ch yoke and pedals).…

Did you ever have the IXEG 737, the "Slots in use" ? The normal way is to request the simple RESET on the x aviation page. How did you get it reset if the support doesen´t answer. Is there another way? A mailaddress or telephone number? Thanks Guys To an admin, it's just a question. I do not want to be accused like spammer or troll as you have done.

Is there not a way to detect a crash/collision if a plane strikes a tree or building or other object on the ground? It seems only direct impact with the ground causes damage/crashes. Maybe i'm missing a setting somewhere? Thanks in advance

Hi all- I'm slowly making progress with XP11. First order of business, getting XP11 across three Dell 27 UltraSharps. I've successfully done this by going into windowed mode and stretching that window across all three. Yes, I've got the horsepower to make this happen :smile: When viewing this huge and wonderful environment, I can't see the instrument panel. In P3d, 'wide_aspect_view' can be enabled in the .cfg which allows me to zoom out and all's well. Does XP11 have this capability? Is there a camera app that could take the place of wide aspect view and allow this? Thanks! Mark

X-Camera version 2.2.1 is released. You can review the change log details in the user guide on the download page. There is also a tutorial that covers the major enhancements to X-Camera 2.2.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vctMkjvRaoo If you are currently a 2.1.1 registered user your current 2.0 registration key will work with 2.2.1. If you are an X-Camera 1.1 user you will need to get a new key by registering again on our registration page. Here are the highlights of the changes: Fixed the problem that prevented X-Plane views from being activated Changed the method for smooth camera joins to use a three control point Bezier curve algorithm Improved the “Neare…

Nice post from Morten (IXEG 737 Classic) about adapting an old version of an airplane to a new version of x-plane. Tom http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/12572-xp-11-flight-model-status/

Does anyone notice performance drops after Microsoft's KB3211320 update was installed? It's a mandatory and permanent update which was pushed through two days ago.

Hi all- Will be installing XP11 when I get of work tonight. Any suggestions for 'must have' addons? I've been a long time P3D guy and thought I would try something different. Thanks! Mark

Looks really good..

Well, installed XP11, 172 @ KTVL runway 180 and I get... Null texture-how? ref=388 Crash report Great. So, what would be the next step? Thanks, Mark

As I eagerly await the full roll-out of X-plane 11, I have some general thoughts and questions. After years of simming with all the various versions of MS flight sim and having thought seriously about investing in P3D, I've come to the following question. Is X-plane 11 finally the stand-alone relatively bug-free platform that will allow me to actually do more flying than tweaking, configuring, forum mining, computer building, and hair pulling? I have built several FS dedicated rigs going all the way back to the heady AMD Athlon days. I know X-plane is said to be far better for night flying visually and better at flight modeling. I'm tired of trying to work within a 32 bit…

So last night I was sitting doing a few things in and out of the vFlyteAir Traveler, at one of my gateway airports in the middle of the prairies - seriously in the middle of nowhere, so not demanding at all in regards to computer performance. But I was noticing that my framerate was wildly fluctuating when switching the camera viewpoint from inside to outside the cockpit - 60fps outside, to 30fps inside. This was with VSync turned on. So I started playing around with settings a bit and discovered a few things. #1. VSync being on hits the system hard, and interestingly enough, it seems to cause a spike in CPU usage, not GPU usage. #2. Glass, or viewing through …

Well, I think i may have broken my X-Plane 11 (Beta8) Install. I am unable to make it to the tarmac, as I get "failed to initialize udp network input" error message and x-plane shuts down. Since I am very new to x-plane I have no idea how to resolve (I feel pretty stupid at the moment!), and of course I don't even know what it means. I did a bunch of searches to see if this is common, but unfortunately I came up empty. Does anyone have an idea as to how to fix? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Pete
