The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hello all, I'm a bit confused. Basically, I installed the European mixed version of SimHeavens sceneries and it looks great. Far more European whilst flying in Europe. I just don't really understands quite what is happening! So when I get this download, it re positions towns etc based on more accurate data (which is partially crowd sourced?) and on top of that, it draws the correctly positioned towns using the models I downloaded (i.e the r_2 lib, open scenery, Europe library). Is this correct? Does this also mean that once XP 10.50 comes out I won't see any of their new autogen? Is the w2xp pre build scenery from simheaven superior to the new default autogen?…

Hi, I'm currently working on a Boston scenery for X-Plane 10. It will contain both the airport and the city and will be fully compatible with Massachusetts Pro. Here are some early previews: Terminal A, now used by Delta and Southwest since United moved to the newly built part of Terminal B Close-up of the ground textures. Every single marking will be present. And there it is, United's fancy new terminal Terminal C Preparing for the snow. You'll find lots of snow plows and de-icing trucks all around the airport. Also, the American and jetBlue hangars will be open for your viewing pleasure The airpor…

I have a laptop with follwing configuration: Core i5 4210U 2.7 Ghz, Nvidia 850M GTX, 8GB DDR3. Will it run well on full hd resolution connected to my TV (1920x1080) ? I will appreciate if you can suggest me most realistic A319, 737 and C152/172 plane models for X11 as well.

I understand that using beta. I installed demo version, I bought X-Plane 11, so I started adding more scenarios, South America, Central America, rest of North America, Europe ... Yesterday, for an unknown reason I can not proceed, I run X-Plane 11 Installer, checks are done, last step before map to select region to be installed, after Scanning X-plane for Installed Scenery (96618 of 96618 files) application Does not proceed, if Back or Cancel Installation, application is not responding. I sent bug report on problem. Any ideas on Avsim? Thank you João Alfredo

Short and simple, watch how the trees, houses, and power line towers light up in the landing lights path. Following the highway mainly, I love the traffic and night lighting. One thing I want to catch on a more detailed video later is an emergency vehicle with the lights flashing speeding through the traffic. Watch in HD 1080 full screen. I lost some smoothness due to recording with Fraps.

I noticed that the banding effect of the sky is much reduced without HDR. Any expert here who can explain why? I read about methods of dithering with Bayer Matrix and the like but that's way beyond my comprehension. What I would like to understand is whether the bug is in the HDR shader or in the skycolor png's (or in both). Thanks for an explanation.

Hi Anyone know if this is possible on the default aircraft? Many thanks!

First, before I forget, if I buy the full XP11 beta (usin demo now and love it) do I also get the full XP 10? And will ther full XP11 once released be free or will I have to buy it? I know that not all airports in XP have buildings on the grounds, but seems like I read in a thread here somewhere that it was easy to add some by going to one of the folders or whatever inside of the main XP folder. Was I completely misunderstanding the statement, or like the plane maker in there is there also a way to simply add buildings at the airports? Or, is there a simple payware option like Easy Scenery 3 for P3D? I love it, because I can add any of thousands of obj…

can x plane 11 runs on 4 k monitor because im not experiencing a smooth flying at all ,too much lagging but i can only use x plane when i reset the resolution to 1920-1080 and scenery looks awful with that resolution ,,first time on x plane forum :wink: 4790k ,,nvidia 980 ,,installed on ssd

Is there a way to download the setup files in full or in part to the local drive for installation later? I didnt see this option when using the installer and it would be useful down the road (changing locations etc). Also.. will the full release version of 11 just update the beta, or will it require a new install? I havent seen any info on this... Thanks in advance

Have to say X-Plane 11 looks very interesting to me for instance the stock 737 in the demo looks amazing in external view thing looks real - impressive - quick question noticed in videos that none of the tarmacs - runways etc. are wet looking when raining am I missing something - thanks

If you see a Question Mark for the aircraft icon you can load it, then in game, go to the Dev menu, and click the 3rd selection down from the dropdown... something like "generate icons" etc etc. It takes a while and it looks like the screen freezes but now you'll have icons for the paint schemes.

Hi, today i downloaded the X plane Demo. Graphics and perfrormance seems very nice. Th issue I have is I run FSX in Nvidia Surround over 3 screens. On X Plane the view is so far zoomed in that it is unuseable in this configuration. In FSX I just altered the cfg file to make Widescreen = True and that solved it. Cant seem to find a cfg to alter in X plane. Can any one offer some advise, I am sure its just me doing something wrong Cheers Steve

Hi guys. I somehow was able to bring up the FPS counter in game but i have forgotten how i did it Could someone be so kind to inform me how to bring it up please. Regards Mike

Morning All, Saw some amazing pictures and video of the Russian developed xEnviro weather and cloud application for X-plane 10 and 11. However, every link I click on seems to lead me to a description or a review but never a link to actually download or purchase. I did find a Russian language page with a detailed description and cost (nearly $70) but again, no link or shopping cart, etc. Any guidance, links, and opinions would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be a decent improvement over SkyMaxx 3 and offers horizon to horizon weather. Thanks, Stephen Luebbert

Hi there! I bought the unlocked full version of the XP11 beta release. And I really like the look of the European autogen and the resulting scenery. One thing I noticed though: There are no higher buildings in cities like Frankfurt. Does that mean, that Laminars OSM data doesn't include the height information in Europe? But than again, as a test, I installed HD Mesh v3, and, although it definitely looked very different and more dense and precise, there were still no higher buildings and sky scrapers in the Frankfurt city area. So, does that mean, that the European facade in XP11 doesn't include higher buildings? And sorry for the title, with XPX 11, I meant X-P…

Hi, if someone would be so nice and enlighten me. Is it possible, that the X-plane devs cut the scenery because there is no space on dvds? Maybe i've misread the articel. The interesting things start at: November 28, 2016 at 4:48 am. http://developer.x-plane.com/2016/11/you-dont-need-to-reinstall-x-plane-to-fix-it/#comments Kind regards Tom

I decided give a shot for 11. It's been over 5 years since I last used X-plane. Anyway I've been trying setting up my X52 pro, and so far I can only found an option to assign Saitek throttle to throttle 1. Question: how can I sync my 1 Saitek throttle that it can move all 4 (throttle 1,2,3,4)? Thanks

If so, how? Many thanks. I am hoping you can in all axis like MSFS, especially up, down, forward, backward, side to side.

Hi guys, So I am currently not in a position to download and play the beta for a few days and I had a question. However there is the sale going on at x-plane.org and I am eyeballing a few aircraft to pick up, but the level of detail of a particular vanilla aircraft may determine my decision to pick up one. I am looking at getting the SSG 747-8i as I really want a good 747(Regardless of the model), yet if the vanilla 747-4 has a high enough complexity for someone who enjoys complex aircraft then I may not purchase it(At least for a time, these sales the last few days are draining my disposable cash). So, how is the default 747, the VC and exterior look good yet ho…

Hi Long time MSFS (P3D user) and first time XPlane dabbler! Is there any recommendations to enhance my XP experience? Last night I installed the NOAA plugin which seemed to work enabling realtime weather however, the clouds to me just look pretty basic compared to ASA? I mainly fly short-haul tubeliner flights and just wnated to know if there are any 'must haves' payware or freeware? Many thanks in advance :smile:

Opening the glovebox on the C172 in XP11? Click on what you find in there. That gave me a laugh tonight!!!

Airfoillabs update ! I wonder if this scenery is going to be like ORBX regions ?

At dusk/night, runway lights are visible even when above a layer of "overcast" clouds (actually in X-Plane "overcast" does not produce a 100% coverage, but in this case I made sure that there were cloud puffs between the camera and the runway, and yet the runway lights are still visible). Can you confirm this before I file a bug report? I also have this in X-Plane 10. Suprised, because this invalidates a basic IFR scenario...

Found this on the Org forums "It gets a whole lot better by turning off the fog. Open X-Plane/Output/preferences/X-Plane.prf with a text editor and change the 1 to 0 and save." Find this and change to 0: renopt_volume_fog 1 I did it on mine and it didn't seem to make a difference. But some posted shots over at the org forums and it made it look like XP10. I'm not sure why it's not working for me.
