  2. Hello, I have a colleague that works with ALPA (Pilot's association) and the NTSB, and who is working with a university that helps train aircraft accident investigators. What they'd like to do is re-create/sim-fly an accident that happened in 1975 and record all the relevant flight position, altitude, changes in altitude, etc parameters from the flight, then print them in a way that would mimic the output that would come from the data recorders. Has anyone used the data recording feature that might provide a quick tutorial on how to use it? I think this should be simple in X-Plane, but it's something I've never tired. Thoughts? Thanks Bill KSGP

  4. Greetings all.. I finally decided to check out X-Plane after years and having purchased tons of addons for P3D. I primarily fly with VR and now that flyinside beta is out, i've had the chance to dabble in X-plane. I have some observations but ill hold on those for the moment (and comparisons to p3d).. My questions are.. At this point i'm on steam version 10, which i guess does NOT entitle me to get version 11 for free, since it wasnt bought directly from their store, which i dont quite understand the logic there, but anyway.. Wondering if i should dive into getting a bunch of addons for 10 or just wait for 11 (whats the likelyhood of these having…

    Silly title, but these planes look REALLY nice. I've never seen such a nice default lineup. I was finally able to check out all the screenshots on my PC and not my tiny mobile. I'm especially excited for the cirrus jet, as it's VASTLY improved from XP10. The B747 and the MD80, again, look lovely. And matched with Phillip's upcoming stock FMS - whew! I would say that would draw the tubeliner fans from other sims. The King air and baron look outdated but that's ok as I've got addons for both of those (which hopefully should work hehe) What's your favorite default XP11 aircraft?

For instance, I get these errors when loading either Aerosoft EGLL or Lowi DEMO area: "Problem loading w2xp Europe" "Error loading the scenery package:custom scenery/Europe_Library/ In scenerypacks.ini, w2xp_europe is just above Global Airports, and Europe_Library is above this together with other libraries. Worked previously. Can't figure out what's wrong now.

  10. I'd like to thank everyone here in the forum for the participation in the Beta process, especially early on when Ventura Sky was still complicated to install. A few features suggested by you made it into the 1.0 release. If you're using Ventura Sky, please spread the word! I have no commercial interest with Ventura Sky whatsoever, I started out to write this only for me, but it turned out to be a great opportunity to contribute something to the community.

    Just in case you missed it. The REP for the Carenado Barnon B58 is now available at the .org store. I already made a short test flight and it's great as expected. Will complement my REP'd Bonanza and Centurion very well.

    Hi there! I've been a vivid XPX user, but I've uninstalled it quite a while ago, because I ran out of HDD space on my SSD setup, and I wanted to use P3D, along with FSX. Now, in preparation of X Plane 11, which I've already preordered, I've uninstalled FSX and reinstalled XPX (10.50 r3) along with my favorite airliners in their current state (IXEG 737, FF 767, FJS 727 and 737). The sim is in a quite vanilla state right now and performs great. I mainly fly over Europe, and back then, I used OSM Europe + autogen, european library, HD mesh v3 and Urban MAXX 3D. The ground textures changed quite a bit, and I like them now, so I won't install Urban Maxx again. But I …

    I recently took advantage of the Laminar offer to get X-plane 11 free if you purchase the X-Plane 10 version digital. I currently have X-plane 10 Steam version installed over several computers but decided that the 'standalone' version would be more practical. I have a problem in that whenever the 6gig X-Plane 10 download is interrupted it does not resume from where it left off but starts from the beginning again. At least the Steam version downloaded from the last interruption. I would like to download all the files using a download manager, so that I can use these files to install on other computers. I have tried to locate a support link at X-Plane.com but …

    I'm on a Mac with XP 10.51. Airport runway and approach lighting looks good, as does road traffic, but I get poor city lighting at night. I have many add-on airports (payware and freeware), and the only non-airport scenery that I have is in a folder zzz_hd_global-scenery2 (which I think is more "mesh" than "scenery"). Are there any pay/free ware recommendations to get good night lighting when overflying urban areas? Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Bruce.

    Hi all, just got around to buying x-plane. running it on 3 monitors and the immersion level is awesome. Here is my question: with FSX, I could create a flight plan, and I would start at the gate with ATC guidance (plus progressive taxi) all the way to the final destination. With X-Plane I start at a gate, create a flight plan but nothing happens. It's like ATC doesn't even know I created it. Any tips??

    So far when flying the new Cirrus jet and the older BA 777 that comes with the X-plane 10 download version, I am unable to get a hand-off to the tower from ATC. All ATC says is call the runway insight. When I try to do that there is no written dialog response for that or the tower. Then I get ATC giving me vectors back out for what appears another approach. Anybody else notice this? Terry
