New payware scenery: http://secure.simmarket.com/tropicalsim-punta-cana-2014-mdpc-x-plane-10.phtml

Along the 10.20 beta versions, i've noticed that x-plane 64-bit process has been far from using 100% CPU time, while there's no other system bottleneck. This behavior has been confirmed by other users on LM blog. On my PC, XP 64-bit uses about 70% CPU time after sim startup, and stays at this level indefinitely, UNLESS: - I start a weather change event... like: setting something different on the static global weather, reloading real weather from the net, etc. Then the CPU will go to 99.99% load and will stay at this level, giving a FPS boost until the end of the simulation session. In my case, I always got about 30% FPS increase BTW, i filled a b…

As someone whose knowledge about software development lies slightly below a rabbit's but above a Kardashian's, it's difficult to know what benefits 10.30 brings to developers. Can anyone give me a very layman's idea about how the changes help devs and what potential developments we can expect for the sim now?

Certainly raises the bar a notch, or three...wow. Here are a few shots out of the Hawaiian Islands...just took off..and heading out for a mountain tour. The haze is wonderful. I am really liking pre-set 2. The last three shots taken over the coast, is at 10,000 ft and with Lua pre-setting of 2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJd http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJs http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJw http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJ4 http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJj http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/QJx http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/…

I'd like to be able to fly the new Piper Cherokee 111 by making the best use of it's controls. Yet the documentation included in the download is only of limited help in this regard. Suggestions would be appreciated. Cliff

Hello. For now I've been only using fsx for simulation but it seem quite unrealistic when it comes to physics. This year I am going to make something like an airbus sim (I prefer a340 or even a350 but I don't mind if it is a320)with oculus rift because it's the cheapest way to make a sim. For now I have saitek pro flight system and a pc which specs are: -amd athlon 5800+ 2.8ghz duo -ati radeon 4830hd 512 mb -4gb ram And this is not enough for x-plane 10 which supports jardesign a320. So can you please give me a suggestion and tell me which of the two softwares (fsx-x-plane9) I should use. Thank you and sorry for my bad English!

Hi, I think I am starting to go insane like in the FSX days gone by.... My X-plane 10 has started to stutter, since I got beta8. I have tried lowering settings, resetting config files etc....still stutters persist! Its like momentary freezes and the cpu counter jumps to 0.56-0.79 when it is normally around 0.33 - 0.44. Also, I have no choice to lock frame using 1/2 vsync in nvidia inspector, otherwise I get terrible screen tearing, even with x-planes internal lock. Anyone one else having this issue? thanks Ian

Looks like we're getting close to final :smile: Changelog Bug fixes in RC 2: airport sceneries with broken taxiway/runway links are detected and logged, but no longer cause the sim to quit the new guiding line for refuel operation is ONLY displayed if you are actually flying a refuel mission native installer/updater for 64bit Linux added running the updater on modified global scenery no longer causes airports from Aerosoft to be delete. http://www.x-plane.com/?article=x-plane-10-30-release-notes

I redownloaded from XPFR the airport and objects ZIP files, but instead of the ZonePhoto mesh, and since I already had the MADEIRA mesh from SimHeaven, I was planning to use this one. Will it work ok, or should I get the ZL18 version from ZonePhoto instead?

Thx for any hints...

I am just in the middle of the process of installing XP10 to use with Aerowinx PSX as a scenery and weather rendering engine for the out-of-windshield views. I wonder of any of you are using the same combination, and would care to share their PSX layouts for the external views ?

Bought it but won't get to try it 'til tonight. If it's as good as the FS version it sholuld be a cracker. http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=article_detail&s_supplier_aid=12978&s_design=DEFAULT&shopfilter_category=Flight%20Simulation&s_language=english Also available at the Org. http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=569 Trailer here:

I have to use XP10.30 in windowed mode and have tried to set the window to less or at most half screen in height, and full width, but XP10.30rc1 "refuses" to set the height to less than around 3/4s of the screen. I run at 1920 x 1080. Any clues on how to shorten the window only in height? Thx guys ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P.S.: Having set flight models per frame to 1, I am experiencing 120+ fps with maximized default scenery ( not in HDR )!!! This is smooth as silk. The 744 used by "XView" is also a simplif…

Hello to all of you guys as i looking for a good scenery out there to buy i have seen this Greek Beauty. I think Mykonos Airport is one of the best sceneries available in X-Plane! http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=552 have a look at this brilliant master piece

has anybody tried this? http://secure.simmarket.com/taburet-xporbit-for-x-plane-10.phtml I can see it's a really nice solution to the blurry DSF's in the distance , with out loading more , I'm looking to get this as it looks great. But has anybody tried it with edit art controls when flying high? because DSF's still not loaded of course , so it may look weird just as it looks now when flying at high altitudes.

10.30RC1 is out....

Hi All, I am using XP10.30 as a scenery generator for Aerowinx PSX, using the XView plugin. I want XP10.30 to run as smooth as possible, and XView uses the default b744 that comes with XP10.30, but I couldn't care less about the detailled interior. I would actually prefer to have only the cockpit enclosure, with no instrument panel at all, and certainly no interior views in the pas cabin, wheel wells etc... How can I create a simple 3d model, with interior graphics, from a given XP10 model?

I started out with X-Plane using the basic but rather complete airports by Ted Davis (http://theosdavis.com/xpfiles/downloads_v10.html). He often combines more than one airport in an area pack, such as NYC Area (KJFK, KEWR, KLGA). So now if I wanted to use another KJFK scenery (FRED-E's), is there a way to combine them (whithout having 2 KJFK's sitting on top of each other). Because if I delete Ted's pack, KEWR and KLGA will be gone, too! Same issue appears in other areas, for example Japan.

I'm posting this just for fun. I'm not selling or promoting anything. Just doing this for myself, time permitting. I was thinking the other day about buying the Saitek radio module (I do already own several other Saitek modules) which I think is actually a pretty good buy. It would match the other Saitek modules I already have (TPM, Cessna trim wheel, switch module). The problem is, I couldn't really justify dropping another $150 on something that I would then have to explain to my wife. I do have the original GoFlight GF45's which I don't use anymore. They are huge and take up too much space. Anyway, I was thinking about it for awhile and decided that I woul…

Hi guys, I have played FSX for quite a long time at this stage, probably since it was released actually. I am only coming back to it not after about a 2 year break though. I'm thinking about installing X-Plane 10 now too. I have also recently finished putting together a new rig. It has the most up to date hardware, so performance shouldn't be an issue if the sim is configured correctly...along with my expectations! I just don't want the install to cripple or impact performance unnecessarily if it can be avoided. Specs: i7 4790k (stock speeds for the moment, 4.4GHz) Corsair H110 CPU cooler EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 1866MHz Samsung 840 EVO 500GB Asus…

Hey guys, I made the switch to x plane 10 because I was fed up with all the bugs that comes with fsx. Anyways I wanted a realistic airbus, preferably a smaller one and the only realistic one I could find was the one stated in the title. I have a few questions. Is there a big frame rate hit with this aircraft? I can run the default software fine. How does it compare to aerosoft airbus x extended in fsx? Or should I just hold off and see if aerosoft is going to be making there airbus x extended for x plan. (I've heard rumors)

Hi all, I'm a few years into simming using FSX and I've decided to get X-Plane as a second simulator. The demo was enough for me to decide I can get used to it, but I really want to try the European photo scenery and OSM data combination and hence I'm taking the plunge. I'm thinking of getting it through Steam, but I have a few questions about the Steam version I'm hoping someone could help me with. First is if there are any discernible differences in the installation structure, i.e. can the root folder be put in a place of choice or is it in a specific folder for all Steam games, and can all addons for the disk version be installed as normal? Will the structure of…

1.WHAT NEW? + X-Plane 10.30 ready + 64 bit only now (MAC and WIN). + New voice checklists algogritm. (woman voice is out of reach) + Mac “FO voice crashes” fixed + add Dark cockpit/ Light cockpit option to MCDU MENU + add Track/FPA mode + APPR mode for ILS APPR reworked + possible to set THS just with clicking R3 at TO PERF page + some visual changes (cockpit light, tow details) + FCU control change (add push/pull for BARO, SPD, HDG) + include all fixes fpr 2.2 r2-r3 http://airbus320neo.com/updates/

I was led to this aircraft on another forum and it is free, flies great, and is adaptable to the GNS 430. If you haven't tried it, I think it is worth the time (and certainly the money). Nice, great handling, quiet, jet that cruises in the 330 range. Also, it has great artwork. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18661 Do I like it? Pretty much! John
