Good morning evening or night to you all, I am moving to XPlane10 from FS2004 and I am still trying to figure out how to configure things so please bear with me.

I recently started seeing this located near random airports and not sure what may be the cause? I'm not entirely sure when it started, library update maybe. Any ideas?

Hi guys. I just decided to try Xplane 10 out for real. Bought the full version of that, skymaxx pro 3 and IXEG 737 classic so I have something to start with. I have a few questions in setting the sim up the way I would like it. I was hoping maybe someone here could help me. I will probably add to the list of questions as I go along 1. The sound options is quite limited as far as I can tell. Is there a way to mute Xplane when it looses focus? 2. I looked through all the button binding options, and I cant find an AP disengage fuction. Searching for answers with google the best I found was Buttons advanced-> autopilot -> Servos toggle. This doesn't look logic…

Hello guys, I really like to try X-Plane. What I am looking for is flying airliners. I saw some videos about the Jardesign A320 / A330. It doesn't look too bad. So here are my questions: - Is there a weather engine like ASN for X-Plane? - Is there a good AI traffic tool like MyTraffic? - Which scenery could you recommend? - Is the default ATC ok to use? - Any other "must have" addons? Edit: Another question: Is it possible to use PFPX and the Jardesign Airbuses together to load the FP directly into the FMC? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Stefan

I am trying to install X-Plane10 on a very newish install of Ubuntu 15.1 (x64) I have followed this guide: http://www.x-plane.com/?article=linux-installation-walkthrough but with the installer for X-Plane 10: http://www.x-plane.com/update/installers10/X-Plane10InstallerLinux.zip and set up the link using ln -s /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.0 The issue is that X-Plane will not start unless no sound is chosen (whereby it runs fine though quietly). I have looked through the logs and also the Cycle Dump file and can find no reference to where X-Plane is looking. There are several references to a 'mesa' library but that is apparently al…

So I downloaded Spain UHD, alongside an airport to test it from. However, I'm seeing quite a few of these square colour artifacts littered around the place. I can live with them on the terrain, but they are absolutely everywhere in the airport area. They do seem to disappear as you get further away, oddly enough. So I'm wondering, is this a common bug or a setting issue?

I just started using FSGW (FSGRW version 1.7 Build 038) with Xplane10. FS Global Real Weather will not print the weather reports. When I select Print I get an error box. FSGRW is trying to send the weather report to my HP Fax rather than printing to my HP printer?

So I decided I'd try x-plane out to contrast it against P3D. A couple things I just can't get used to, but maybe I can change/adjust somehow?? First is the view. I feel like my face is up against the dash. I can't see nearly enough of the cockpit and the view isn't very wide at all. I did manage to figure out how to toggle mouse look to a button on my yolk so I sorted that much out. Second, the controls are so very touchy and the aircraft seems to yaw like a bandit on meth. The flight model feels horribly unstable. I've only tried the stock baron so far though. And with that I can't sort out how to turn on the dang lights!! Are there some pro tips to …

So, I recently purchased the Alabeo DA42, and it's a nice little aircraft. The G1000 has indeed been improved since the previous Carenado/Alabeo aircraft that use it. I wrote a review here: http://flyingxplane.apps-1and1.net/review-alabeo-da42-twin-star/

Hi guys I have a couple of quetions that I can't seem to find the answers for at the moment,so I wonder if anyone can help. I've had xplane 10 for a while but have not really got to grips with it due to lack of time and prefering to use p3d. Although I still use p3d I want to use xplane more so while the issues with p3dv3.3 are on going and orbx,I've decided to try getting to grips with xplane.Although I have no bought addons at the moment and only using the default aircraft,I cannot seem to find how I would setup my x55 throttles to work on a 4 engine aircraft I've tried to add throttle 3 and 4 on the axis section but it only recognise's it for throttle 1 and 2. what …

I'm sure we've heard Meyer's problem with patent trolls suing him for "infringing" on vague patents. Here's the update, uploaded a few days ago: Very infuriating stuff... Thankfully, his videos are receiving quite a lot of coverage and hopefully some action will be taken against those that participate in this.

For those who are thinking of buying the Saitek Switch Panel. I recently purchased a Saitek switch panel to add to my Saitek Yoke and pedals (and Quadrant) On the official Saitek web site they state it works with X-Plane, but don't make clear it needs a plugin, nor exactly where to get it. It does not come on the outdated software disk that comes with the product, only FSX support there !. I eventually found the plugins on the Saitek site Sadly, the link on the Saitek web site to the plugins was not working and did not get fixed even though I checked it daily. As there was no support link for Australia, I contacted the local distributor. They explained…

Hi, Can anyone help with this frustrating problem that has been driving me mad for weeks? Like most people, I really don't like the "Skid_Dry" sound in X-Plane, so I downloaded an alternative (silent) file for it, and replaced the file in the correct location (X-Plane 10/Resouces/Sounds/Contact). As soon as I start X-Plane 10, I still hear the "Skid Dry" sound, and when I close it and go back to the above folder, the original Skid Dry sound has somehow been restored! I am using the Steam version of XP10. I tried it with Steam in "offline" mode in case it was restoring the file on launch - no good. No matter what I do to that Skid Dry sound file, when…

This is a game changer. Hello everyone. After many months of hard work, I am thrilled to unveil Southwest Florida Intl for X-Plane 10. In the screenshots below, catch a glimpse of one of the most detailed and beautiful sceneries ever created for X-Plane. Handling about eight million passengers a year, Southwest Florida Intl is the second busiest single-runway airport in the United States, and the 45th busiest in the United States overall. Key Features: 10 cm/pixel aerial orthoimagery covering the entire airport (approx. 8.41 sq. km) 1 cm/pixel custom ground detail/markings True-to-life pavement, not repetitive textures Never-before-done, hand-placed pavement seams …
