  1. Hello I'm looking at buying my first AI Ad On package for X-Plane. World Traffic 2 and X-life Deluxe seem to be the big ones at the moment (maybe the only ones) World Traffic 2 http://store.x-plane.org/World-Traffic-20_p_226.html X-Life Deluxe http://store.x-plane.org/X-Life-Deluxe_p_472.html From what i can gather...... World Traffic has a lot of Tinkering required to get it up and running and seems to be a finished product (not beta) X-Life Deluxe is still in beta? Hence the price. But has little or no Tinkering required to have you up and running, Only has a couple of Airports working properly at the moment Any opinions would be …

    I picked this up yesterday even though I don't fly much outside of the US, because it looked so nice and I already had the truscenery airports I bought a while back. Plus it was inexpensive considering the coverage area. ("over 4000 square kilometres"). I'm very impressed with it. Frame rates are great and it looks good from any altitude. I still have a lot of places to explore, but so far, I like what I see. Rob

    Having only just started to get into the FF 767 I am blown away at how bad the soundset is. Inside is 'ok' but outside just sounds like a 'REALLY' bad hair drier. Are there any replacement soundpacks out there of an actually PW engine?

    Are there any addons that add better ground textures? The default textures look very very repetitive. Also has anyone found an addon that makes XP's water look similar to FSX's with Rex? Its far to glassy to look like the real ocean.

    1) SCSE La Florida -- a small airport in Chile, and what an amazing rendition this is. It even has animated passengers entering aircraft. The download link is in the video description, so open the video in YouTube Thanks to uwespeed for sharing the link in the Aerosoft forum. 2) YMML Melbourne -- finally a new scenery by ISDG, who already brought as Christchurch, Sydney and Toronto. Download: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=24981 Both downloads are highly recommended.

  9. Hello everyone, I believe everyone has experienced their fair share of good (and equally bad) examples of customer service. Earlier today, the IXEG 737 was updated to v1.0.6, and I scanned through the list of fixes, noticing that the VNAV behaviour was altered, so that it could be used even without a T/D. I excitedly downloaded, installed and applied the update, only to be shown this window, which cannot be closed or moved around otherwise: I returned to the changelog for v1.0.6, and then noticed this under the list of 'fixes': I then proceeded to the X-Pilot forums, and enquired about this even asking for the technical justification for this hard-…

The autogen is very life-like..and in fact, I had to scale it back from what settings I had in .45 So..first flight...again, most impressed with what the crew achieved. Wow.... Post Edit...how do I get rid of the tire squawk sound?!?!? MOST ANNOYING!

    Hello I am getting really bad Frames in Xplane Steam. Specs: i7-4790k @4.0Ghz AMD R9 290 X-plane is on a HDD https://thomaskal.gyazo.com/a350cf598850cd8aac9ea97a61d5e6a4 Every setting is on almost the lowest, and sitting in the VC of a Jar-Design's A320 I get 30-45fps. Is there anything I can do besides overclocking my processor to change this. I have watched videos on YouTube of people with i7-4790k's @ 4.4Ghz Does .4Ghz really make that much of a difference in FPS?

    A heads-up for those who bought X-Plane on Steam -- it looks like most (all?) of the Carenado planes are on sale for 33% off during the summer sale. Some (all?) of the Aerosoft airports are also discounted. X-Plane Global 64-bit on Steam is 50% off at $29.99 during the sale, although note that Steam versions don't have access to beta versions.

    I'm one of those that never gets time to fly an entire route (other than very short), and am wondering how what the best way might be to take off and climb to cruise, then slew the a/c to a point prior to TOD at an arrival airport that may be a long way away. I tried this last weekend by going to the map and dragging the plane, however I eventually reached the edge of the scenery tile that was loaded and couldn't drag the a/c any further. So I assumed there must be a better way? Thanks for any ideas. I know that not flying the entire route is frowned upon by many, so apologies in advance for that. Thanks, Bruce

I downloaded w2xp europe and installed it but on loadeing i got the error message that it could not find a car from the package I checked the opensceneryx library and the car mentioned is indeed missing but the sim loads ok and that was the only error I was getting. i then downloaded the latest world models from simheaven and installed it over the top of my exsisting world mod…

  21. I wanted to save weather today in XPx so downloaded "real" weather in the sim then saved the METAR.rwx file. I noted about 18 references to the same airport (KDEN) in the file, some with the same METAR time stamp and some with other time stamps. Does anyone know how these multiple references work in XP for reading weather? Thanks, Bruce.

    Soooo... Normally I can't wait to share whenever I spot a new release that I'm interested in, but today I held off... until I could get home, load it up, and take it (them?) for a spin! :smile: I don't stay on top of upcoming releases, for the most part, which makes it all that much sweeter of a surprise when I see something that looks cool. Anyhow, my first impressions follow: There's two Cherokee 140's on offer from VFlyteAir, and I decided to pick them both up, since there's a pretty good discount for doing so. They aren't terribly different, except for the panel. One of 'em has a IFR panel, and the other is apparently faithful to a specific real world aircra…

    Hi! Im trying to add some scenery to my xplane 10. Downloaded w2xp europe. I get an error when loading in at ENCN saying that w2xp europe couldnt load properly. I added the (relevant?) part of the log. Could someone with more knowledge than me have a look and tell me what Im doing wrong? By the way I added the european library, but I think it overwrote some parts of the custom scenery that was already there, but Im not quite sure. I found the following scenery packages (prioritized in this order): 0 Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EBBR Brussels/ 1 Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDDF Frankfurt/ 2 Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDDT Berlin Tegel/ 3 Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDL…

  25. Dear X-Plane GA developer, I believe a lot of the X-Plane GA flying public feel as I do; but I have no proof of that other than my own personal experience and from anecdotal observation. Observation 1. Similar to their tuber brethren, the GA simmer loves detail and complexity for its own sake. Please simulate *All* the switches and functionality in the cockpit. The more complete the sim is, the happier we'll be. Observation 2. Conversely, the GA simmer hates it when visual function is omitted because the detail in question is deemed to be *unnecessary* in the scheme of simulating the experience. Case in point; toe break movement in rudder pedals. Patently unnec…
