Anyone know where i can get a Learjet 45 for x plane 10?

Hello - I Just purchased X-Plane 10 yesterday and saw that the JRollen CRJ-200 is on sale currently. Can anyone comment on how this plane is? Since I only have until tomorrow to take advantage of the sale I am hoping someone can sway me in either direction. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pete

There's a back friday sale going on. I added the Beaver, Viperjet and I'm considering the Bell 412. http://store.x-plane.org/Bell-412_p_326.html Any ideas?

Hi, is there any real gain or improvement with these new drivers? I just installed it and maybe I'm loosing 2 or 3 frames, need more testing and/or adjust something else. Do you guys know what is the best version of the Nvidia drivers for X-Plane yet? Thanks,

Sometime - maybe 2 years ago, I had someone respond to an inquiry about the "sand" around all the water areas in X-Plane and he sent me a program called "No Beaches". It removed the "beaches" from all inland areas, leaving the ocean beaches intact. Windows 10 crashed my computer - back to Windows 7 now - but I can't find that program. Any ideas? Thanks, John

So... while procrastinating this evening (with things that I should be doing but don't feel like, therefore I'm doing nothing at all), I checked out Aerobask's Facebook page. I should mention that although I haven't had a Facebook account in a few years, there seems to be a ever increasing trend among developers to post all their latest and greatest tidbits there... Anyhoo... I am most definitely a fan of the Aerobask fleet. Great aircraft, and all of them with a certain 'flair'. No boring 172's for sure!! The last couple of images in their feed are of something new... and nothing that I've ever seen before. Which got my curiosity going, which led to an hour of s…

As many people know, World2XPlane has been very much concentrated in Europe and so far all the artwork and pro/autogen regions have been based here. I decided it's time to see what the US can offer in terms of scenery and I've started with Massachusetts because it has some excellent data available from the government (Thanks to some hints from users here on Avsim) I have collected all the data available and I've created a new building set for low/mid residential areas and the entire "small forested" state is presented in glorious detail (Every building, forest, road, etc.. is in the correct place): This state is one big forest :smile: There is st…

Well, the preamble.... I purchased DD's New York XP this morning, and have been flying for hours (coffee'ed up, of course!) and in so doing, was playing with the RENDERING options, most notably; OBJECTS, TREES, and ROADS, in various complexity combinations, with the running in the scope and area of DD's New York XP. Now..I'd say that this is the most render-intensive scenery pack that I have on my system for XP. Having stated that...let me tell you what I have discovered: The plain and simple truth...is that it is actually EASIER on your system to load-in and render, all of the above settings at their MAX settings... OBJECTS: Extreme ROADS: Extreme…

Hello everybody, for some of you who might not heard: The New IAE V2500 for JArdesign A320 from BSS http://www.blueskystar.net/a320-iae-v2500-x-plane-jar.html Those are expansion pack to new CFM Full Pack: http://www.blueskystar.net/a320-cfm-full.html

HI, just installed this from Simheaven and it is great exept it ruins some airports with generic buildings, in my instance the aged but good Keflavik from Aerosoft. It is now littered with buildings from w2xp. Can I change this, in WED with an exclution zone or what?

15 bucks from Carenado http://www.carenado.com/CarSite/Portal/index.php I'm considering it since I already own the 206... I was a big naysayer of the 182. But if part with the cash to be a ginuea pig

Hello! I did search for it, but seems like the similar topics are rather old. To cut to the chase - I am really intrigued by rotorcrafts and would like to get one for X-Plane. Hence two questions. Firstly, as I understand, applying the rudder (anti-tourque) pedals is really important but I don't have rudder pedals. I am using Z axis on my joystick (rotating it). Will it still be comfortable to fly a rotorcraft? Second question is rather obvious one - What payware helicopter do you guys recommend? I am looking for something more complicated than R22, probably something at least size of Bell 407 so I can use it efficiently in FSEconomy. I found a lot of confl…

I just stumbled upon this...looks very, very interesting. A bit lengthy but be patient... :wink: https://youtu.be/HoZNZeVh3zg

I am patiently waiting for 3 addons this week/weekend Hoping they come out soon! I think all of these will be really great addons! 1. REP Bonanza addon. The C210 is amazing, so I think this will be equally great. 2. Aerosoft KRSW Airport scenery. The screen shots look amazing! 3. Drzewiecki Design NY City scenery. I'm currently using a converted ManhattanX version from FSX, but some buildings are lacking textures. I'm from NYC, so fly around here a lot. This is a must have for me. What is everyone else waiting for? Rob

Hi, Can anyone tell me the name and function of panel just below the cargo fire panel? It is the panel with 2 gain knobs and 12 square pushbuttons. I cannot find any information on it and have never used/needed it during a flight. Thanks for any help, Larry

Hello all! A friend of mine just told me about this add-on for x-plane and upon some research I have not found a whole lot on it. Is anybody using it? How is it? Is the weather engine good? Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, I got XP10.41 yesterday, all installed and some amazing scenery (HD Mesh v3 etc) installed. I also bought Sound Maxx which is awesome (the default sounds are pretty poor!). What an upgrade. For my first aircraft, I bought the vFlyte Piper Arrow III, which is a lovely flyer with a great VC, although the engine sounds a bit poor. I've got MisterXs airports, and am just blown away that these are free....... same with RDesign's Alaskan airports. So, I'm sondering if some generous soul wouldn't mind answering these initial questions I have ;- - NAV frequencies. Is there any way to find out ILS frequencies etc, for airports quite far away? I …

Announced in the flightsimcon2015. RSR said that he's expecting the beta to take a bit longer than usual as it's the first Xplane product , but my personal feeling is a late summer release. After this , Im super curious to see which airline they'll conver first , I hope that we will get a 737NG next , A complete 737s (FlyJsim 732 , IXEG 733 , PMDG 737NG) fleet will be great P.S. there was a 10 mintues Q/A with the IXEG team in the FlightSimCon , I hope we will get a chance to see it.

Just noticed in their website, FS Global Real Weather is now available for X-Plane...you need to have X-Plane version 10.41 for it to interact properly.

Hello, Today I bought x plane 10 (actually still downloading ), after being with Microsoft products since 1998! Currently I am flying fsx, for which I bought most of available addons, going from airliners (pmdg, majestic, Leonardo and of course aerosoft), a lot of aerosoft sceneries, and some well known other sceneries, ASN, orbx, Rex....and many others. So, I want to do the same for xplane, therefore, I am kindly asking for your advice regarding the most useful addons for x plane,that add value and immersion to xplane, whether they are weather engines, textures, sceneries (Europe and Middle East) and of course aircrafts (airliners only). I am planing to…

So, I'm looking for a single engine GA aircraft and have heard that Carenado, in this category, is among the best, if not the best for X-Plane. I'm curious what do you consider is there best? I am sort of leaning towards the A36 at the moment. How is this particular aircraft? Any reason not to buy it? To throw another option in here too, I've also had my eye on the VFlyteAir Cirrus that just came out too. If anyone has this too and can offer there opinions as to whether maybe I should buy it over anything from Carenado, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time and opinions.

Download the latest RD version of the Library first, so you know you will have it in your Custom Scenery Folder...and then ...download all three wonderful Alaskan airports. The XP world...rocks on, baby! Go and get 'em!....and it is of course, Donation-ware, free to download, but truly, Donation-from-the-heart. http://rdesignx.weebly.com/x-plane.html As always, thank you so much, to the Dev and the community he/she/they are part of... Post Edit: at the .org...also check out the fantastic KDAL (Dallas Love Field) v1.0. Read what libraries you need for the scenery to load in properly. The RD Version 1.20 is a required one of them. This scenery and…
