I did a search here on "quick" but couldn't find any reference to this. I can set up quick-look views and go back to them while in the sim, but after re-starting the sim 9even if I want to go back to a saved flight), the quick-look views need to be re-setup again. I noted this in the MD80 (stock), and I probably should try another aircraft to check that this is consistent. All I have done is to set up new key command for the quick-look views, since I'm on a mac and have no NumPad keys. Thanks for any confirming info about this, or otherwise. bruce. == Confirmed here that it's just the MD80 (stock). Sorry for posting this before doing further testing. …

Truly, you don't need it. There are no elements that you can see after rotation, that you'd need AA turned on. So...take the slider to the left (Fastest) and enjoy your flight at the higher FPS, that no AA load will give you. Tip over... ...over and out.

Hey guys, I asked on xplane forums but I had no feedback so I will try here. I've doing some work in a B737NG cockpit with FSX and simconnect, I have made some progress but FSX is really unstable, and considering is not longer being developed that can only change to worse. So, what I would like to know about xplane is: - Does it come with a SDK? - Does it have a decent B737NG? (Either default or addon). Thanks in advance!

I just installed my first commercial airport into X-Plane 11, Altenrhein LSZR by FlyLogic. (BTW there is a pretty nice Gateway airport at that location also). I thought I would fly from there to Friedrichshafen EDNY. Shortly after takeoff I headed toward EDNY, which would take me over Lake Constance. To my dismay, there were trees where there should be water. You can sort of tell where the shoreline should be, but there's clearly no water to be seen. I continued my flight anyway, because I was curious to see if there were a Gateway rendition of EDNY, and I am pleased to say that there is. I would be curious to know if anyone else can reproduce this problem. I hav…

I'm going to get World Traffic 3 when it comes out but, for now, I'm using the default traffic. If I select 20 aircraft to use, do those then save and appear for each flight? The reason that I ask is that, even though I don't have "random" checked, the AI seems to change for each flight when I go to a different airport - is this the way that it works?

Does anyone who owns PF3 try it yet with XP11? I understand that you must buy a connector piece of software (~25 bucks) to make it work but for this connector there is no trial. I haven't bought PF3 yet and would like to hear from someone who has actively used it with at least XP10 before investing into both. Thanks for any heads up.

can anyone help with scenery set up , I am new to x plane, only had it for 10 days , ihave fsx with a lot of orbx , which is ok , but I thought I would try x10. my pc spec is not to bad 4.5+32.gbddr4 ram nice and stable , since I have been trying x10 I get a very small amount of scenery most total flat no mesh , so last night I downloaded all the world scenery thinking this is my problem, went to fly this morning still the same, airports don't exsist just runways and bare spaces London heathrow looked like my local playing field, I no its me I am missing something, I tried x11 yesterday and by the look of it that's for me, I also find taking off on …

Guys watch this video - made my AA better shadows not optimized - hope thats something in the works - AA settings at about 30:13 - check it out Hope Laminar is working on the night environmet - lighting / textures its pretty dark and textures are nasty - I know wip - hope they sort that out

Hi all, Not sure if this question should be here or in the design forum, so sorry if it's in the wrong spot. Does anyone know how to easily modify the prop disc to get rid of the red bands? I find this extremely unrealistic. I've reported it as a bug, but I doubt it will be a priority. I tried monkeying around in GIMP and had some marginal success, but I only end up with a slightly less annoying visual. Original: My hack:

I'm looking at a new yoke for my XP sim. It doesn't include a POV / hat switch, and I don't have multiple monitors so I'm going to need some way to pan view. The new yoke is replacing an old CH one, and I'm looking to replace it with something that will give a more realistic feel (RedBird). Several options come to mind: using the mouse view function in XP, assigning keys to the panning functions, or keeping the old CH yoke connected as well as the new one just for the hat switch (that's assuming that XP11 would allow me to have two yokes simultaneously connected- but is obviously the least preferred option....). I'm wondering what others do without a POV/hat s…

I'm running X-Plane 10 on a fairly serious desktop I built up..i7-6700K, 16G RAM, etc. I want to use a laptop I have for a networked instructors station...Lenovo T500, 4G RAM, P8600 @2.4GHz x 2, GM45 Express chipset. Thinking to save time, I just copied the XPX directory from the desktop to the laptop, thinking that, with the marvelous ability Linux has to adapt to hardware, it should/might work (probably showing my ignorance here). Starting XP10 produces the following to the screen and halts... "There was a problem processing a glsl pixel shader. You may need to re-run the installer or update your graphics drivers. resources/shaders/terrain_vert_glsl. resourc…

I love XP 11 and realize it is in beta, and I love tremendously so far. These are not default clouds in P3D, they are REX. I hope a developer will jump on board with XP and create some great clouds.

Hello everyone....newbie to X-plane here. quite impressed initially with the Beta. after the Nvidia fix, runs quite well. In FSX we have an "eyepoint" adjustment that can be done on the fly. In high scenery areas, I am fond of running the autopilot and moving the horizon line up so that the sky takes up the top third of the screen and the land mass below takes up the bottom 2/3 rds. So far, the only thing I've found in Xplane is using the arrow keys to move the cockpit panel up and down in a linear way, and the hat switch "tilts" up and down from a fixed pivot. To date I'm not able to replicate what I did in FSX. Is there some keypress or ctrl/alt+ command that I'…

Is it possible in X-Plane to have separate views on each monitor as you can in FSX and P3D? I like to fly with a cockpit view on one monitor and a spot or external view on the other monitor. Jeff Callender

Hi Guys I have the demo x plane 11. I created KSEAEGCC flight plan with pfpx and saved it to FMS plans folder-its .fms format. When I try to load it in fmc it does not show up. I entered it as kseaegcc . Can You please help-i am new to x plane- I like it but I need to be sure its better than p3d before buying. Many thanks. Qas

In XP10, they had separate key bindings for regular pan speeds and fast pan speeds with the hat switch. Not seeing that in XP11 and the panning is too slow to be useful, especially in the pattern, where I need to look quickly to the left or right. Am I missing something or have they just removed this option in the key bindings?

Last night I had a blast flying XP11 on my big projector screen. The trouble is that when I select the 2nd monitor for displaying 2D panel it just showed a blank panel board of about 1/4 screen size. This happens to C172 and Cirrus Jet (haven't tried other planes yet). If I chose Forward Views it shows on 2nd monitor just fine. Anyone has the success of having panels on a 2nd monitor? To me this is critical as I want a clean forward view on the big screen and instrument on the 2nd small screen. I can do this relatively easy with most planes in P3D. For XP11, do I have to use 3rd party software to show instrument panel on a separate monitor? Also, TrackIR works fin…

Is this possible in the Garmin 530 etc? I want to be able to plan out using just GPS fixes. Or should I use something like PlanG and export the data (convert to X-Plane if needed)?

I have been an X-Plane user for years and fully expect to upgrade to XP 11, so I recently bought the full XP11 version. I know it is a beta, but it has so many obvious bugs I really wish I had waited a bit longer. I have a CH Yoke and rudder pedals and an X-55 throttle. All very standard and known to XP11. It took me AGES to calibrate them. The system crashed 99% of the time after I calibrated an axis. Multiple reboots of XP allowed me to at last calibrate the hardware (I think, I am too wary to go back into those screens). After a few hours spent getting it to load and with a few basic commands in the system, I flew the default Cessna around my home scenery. Pret…

Thank you. I am wanting 11 badly and will probably buy the full beta.

Hello guys, Am on the edge of buying this ace 737 desktop yoke. But i cant find any good and honest reviews for it Concerning handling and feel of the yoke!! Does any of you have it would give me a breif review?! Thanks

Downloaded the demo to check out the new lighting and I'm getting bad stutters every two seconds or so. I never had stutter or FPS issues with XP10 and it seems like between the stutters in XP11 the FPS itself is fine, so I don't think this is necessarily performance related. I can turn down settings and it still happens. 2500k at 4.6Ghz, 16 gigs of RAM, Windows 7, and a GTX 970 (4GB) is my system. I updated my drivers to the latest but nothing changed. Tried turning Threaded optimization to off but no change. I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so it's gotta be something weird with my system.

When I turn Threaded Optimization Off in the Nvidia control panel and click apply and then go back in the panel later and it reverts back to Auto. How can I fix this? Thanks,
