I recently couldn't resist the temptation of buying the DCS World version, but there's at least a good payware version for XP12 too, that might well become my next purchase 🙂 X-Trident CH47-D for X-Plane 12 (youtube.com) Any feedback from the X-Trident CH-47D welcome !!!

Is there a setting to turn off this overly done eye adaption or HDR setting that makes the instrument panel too dark and impossible to read? If I mouse look downward the eye adaption kicks in and the cockpit totally brightens up.

Please assist. Thank you in advance. i am on Windows 10 x64 Pro. Fresh install. Zero other programs installed. Only have Xplane 11 and 12. NVIDIA game driver up to date.

Hi, We're getting dumped on here in West Palm Beach, you can water ski down the street... yet no rain in XP12.

Greetings, my aim is to draw 2 AI aircraft around the user aircraft so that ı write this code with lua. As seen in the code, the positions of my AI aircrafs change in each frame to be next to my user aircraft as ı wanted, but the angles are not updated in any way. In other words, two AI aircraft are flying next to my user aircraft and following my user aircraft, but since the angles are not updated, they take ridiculous shapes. -- Define datarefs local dr_plane_x = XPLMFindDataRef("sim/multiplayer/position/plane1_x") local dr_plane_y = XPLMFindDataRef("sim/multiplayer/position/plane1_y") local dr_plane_z = XPLMFindDataRef("sim/multiplayer/position/plane1_z") l…

Awhile back my Logitech G flight yoke died. Up til that point it worked flawlessly. I found an exact one that was slightly used. When I connected it to windows, it recognized it immediately. Went into devices to check it for calibration, everything looked good. Easy Peasy. When I started up X-Plane 12 and went into controller setup, I noticed immediately that there was no image of the yoke or throttle quadrant. All the buttons and switches worked and remained the same as I had assigned then. Uninstalled and reinstalled Logitech drivers, but did not resolve my problem. Any ideas on how to restore the image of my yoke and throttle quadrant. TIA....

https://developer.x-plane.com/2024/09/around-the-office-friday-the-13th-edition/ For those who are too lazy to read: 1) Lighting update & dark cockpits fixed. 2) Material model update to get X-Plane materials more like Blender/Substance. 3) ATC with SIDs/STARs support. 4) New weather radar, better visuals, live weather improvements & weather SDK/API updates for plugins. 5) Networking fixes.

Anyone using this and if so, how do you like it?

FF 777 v2 Available again to Purchase, I noticed in the past they only make it available for a day or two while its in Beta to allow more people to fly the Beta so it probably wont be available again shortly

https://fselite.net/content/toliss-announces-a330xx-as-a330-900/ Amazing news to see that it will already be released in 2024. I wasn't expecting it before 2025 to be honest. Looking forward to having a study-level A330 that I was waiting for since years and years. I wonder if they will push the system-depth even more than they did in their already excellent A320-series 🙂

Release notes (from X-Plane Official Discord): Fixes and Enhancements General Updated translations and fixed some German spelling mistakes (XPD-14153) Further improvements around the replay system to avoid crashes Enhanced logging around the replay system and dual jetways, which will hopefully help to triage and fix issues Scenery Adjusted wake parameters to make seaplanes flyable again, because those wakes had quite an impact on the planes Added sailboat races and schools to the scenery Thank goodness they finally added sailboat races and schools. My DA-42 was pretty much unflyable without them. :)

Greetings, I aim to use X-Plane 11 to simulate multiple vehicles on one computer. But according to my researches, it does not seem easy to simulate multiple vehicles on one screen. I found the following solutions: 1. Multiplayer mode 2. Virtual Machine method 3. FlywithLua SDK If I understood true, the first method is available for multiple computers. But I can simulate on one computer with multiplayer method by using second method. And there is a third method which is a little bit confusing for me. Could you tell me which method is best option for me and how I can use it effectively? Is there any option that I can use? Thank you in a…

Have been waiting to purchase as I was hoping they'd keep the pricing near to PMDGs $75, or even their own existing pricing in the same $70-ish bracket. I'd really like to support them (and have with the 757 all-options version, as well as their A320 from back in the day). But at this point I have trouble understanding why it's 20% better than PMDG's offering. Anyone...?

Find this hilarious. Joined in 2007 and only just got my one year in badge.

Thomas Rasmussen is back with another master piece video featuring the Flight Factor Boeing 777.

Hi Everybody, You can now use tXPlane12 while enjoying the amazing views of MS2020, this is done via sim connect bridge. A link is provided in the video description. If this is not permitted, please remove. There are a couple of issues that still need to be worked out.

New Features Aircraft Anchors instead of brakes for seaplanes In the past the brake commands could be used to slow down seaplanes. That is obviously not how it works in real life. Therefore we added an anchor, which can be deployed and retracted using the following commands: CommandDescription sim/flight_controls/anchor_deployDeploy the anchor sim/flight_controls/anchor_retractRetract the anchor sim/flight/controls/anchor_toggleToggle the anchor between deploy and retract Fixes and Enhancements General The user aircraft is shown on the map again Various replay fixes Scenery All ships got updated to use our n…
