When using photoscenery, do I still get the default autogen on top of it or will the photoscenery be hiding all that? I want to be able to see all my autogen/osm laid on top of photoscenery, since I love to fly during dawn/dusk, I want to be sure I get all my lights from the city to show above the photoscenery.

Still sort of confused. Is this also a landclass product as well and is it possible to use photoscenery along with HD Mesh v2, will I get benefits out of using both or won't it work? I would like to use all 3 products (HD Mesh v2, photoscenery and OSM Data) to get the most from X-Plane and make it as realistic looking as possible. I'm currently using some city photoscenery frrom simheaven.de and was curious if HD mesh v2 works with them.

I am falling in love with X-Plane all over again, and want to start taking some beautiful screenshots. I am currently taking off and landing at LFMN (Nice, France) and that airport is surrounded with such beautiful environments, almost breathtaking landing onto runway 04 and seeing the mountains in the background. I am looking for more locations like this, if someone can start posting ICAO codes so that I can discover them, I'd appreciate it! Here's are a few shots:

Even though I have world detail set to max. During night time especially in large cities with flat open terrain, you can certainly see where the lights end and it looks really bad. I was wondering if there's a dataref that we can use to increase the light distance so it extends further out into the horizon?

You can download it here : http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=23262 Please note that the other parts are included in the descreption. I hope that it'll force some of you to try flying in the middle east

So,as you can see we are under a new name to this BIG project. The name changed because we are no longer using OSM as our main source,except for networks and fields. It's a new project,with the same target: modeling the part of israel in the best way we can. First of all the area that is covered: Yellow area- An area that's almost ready Red area- An area that will be included Black area- CVFR routes in the area Green area- Will be included in later releases Circles points- LandMarks that we modeled but din't place yet Blure airplane- LandMarks that are placed in thier postition "Clouds"- Planned LandMarks So what are we going to include: …

I've noticed something strange, that when flying at dusk/dawn/night, I am missing certain lights on the streets and highways. Is this the same for anyone else? I will include 2 examples to demonstrate my issue: 1st pic is Honolulu PHNL - If you notice the downtown area theres no street/highway lights at all, but out in the distance there is. 2nd pic is taking off from Zurich LSZH - Pretty much entirely missing street lights and highway lights.

(I hope I'm in the right sub-forum, sorry if I'm not) I may have found what I'm looking for right before I was about to post my original question. But I figured I would still make a post just for some clarification, if you would. Also, this is my first post, hello everyone! Looks like a great community and I'm grateful to have found it. I had FSX for a while, recently made the switch to X-Plane, and I'm really liking it so far. For FSX, the only modding I really did was getting REX and the REX4 Textures. I'm kind of a graphics junky, and really want to get into turning X-Plane into more of a treat for the eyes. I have a 3930k+780Ti, so hardware isn't an issue. I j…

I was curious if anyone here uses either or both with X-Plane? I know there are plenty using these for FSX/P3D. But haven't really heard too much from the X-Plane community and would like your thoughts. I was planning on purchasing PFPX but after already spending almost $100 on other X-Plane add-ons, I'm kind of hesitant now. I heard excellent reviews from both. Since I fly mostly the 777 from FlightFactor/Ramzzes, I want to be sure the flightplan that it exports will load into the FMS. I want to be able to just input departing and arrival airports and have the app formulate a complete flight plan for me including which runways I need to depart and arrive to/from. That wa…

Looks like a very promissing glider project for X-Plane10. http://x-glider.blogspot.pt/ Does anyone know of recent developments in this project (author around here???)

Comes with AIRAC NAV CYCLE 1405, happy downloading!

What type of flying do you do in X-Plane, and do you think the inclusion of the new GPS and Navigraph support for X-Plane itself will change this? I say this, because in FSX/P3D I enjoy flying IFR in small GA aircraft and heavies. Visuals aren't/weren't too important, in fact I loved making the weather as ugly as possible, and enjoyed the challenge of breaking out of the clouds and seeing the runway. What enabled this for me in FSX was easier to use cockpit controls, the RealityXP units (although I also did VOR-VOR and VOR/NDB approaches). I also loved flying the heavies in FSX, and of course, everyone's favourites, the PMDG 737NGX and Dash Q8. In X-Plane, I almos…

I think this wasn't happening pre-10.30 In the US, if the visibility is unlimited they just put 10SM on the AWOS/ASOS. XP is taking this literally and only giving me 10SM of visilbity. Is there a way to force it to a max? Example if vis is 10SM it should set to the user's highest value, maybe 40SM etc.

After upgrading to XP 10.30b1, I've notice the clouds and sky have look a whole lot better. Would you guys still recommend SkyMaxx Pro and MaxxFX anymore or won't it make much of a difference anymore now that we have improved and updated sky and clouds with the latest XP beta?

It's been a year since I delved into the world of X-Plane, starting with Ver 10 Global. I even had a PC custom built after watching the X-Plane demo to make sure I would get the best out of it. First impressions were good. There was a lot to re learn after years of FSX, but the process was exciting. I followed various forums dedicated to X-Plane, and download, even purchased, add-ons. A year later, and X-Plane resides largely untouched. Why ? you may ask. Well, very early on, being Australian, I flew from my home airport, Brisbane, YBBN (custom Scenery) to Sydney, YSSY. To say I was shocked to find that Botany Bay had been filled in, and YSSY was now landlocked i…

I would like to know if its possible to incorporate the new gps feature of XP 10.30 into the Carenado A36 virtual cockpit and if so, how can we do it?

Just got this in an email === X-Plane 10 support added! === We are now supporting X-Plane 10 with regular FMS Data updates! The X-Plane 10 dataset updates waypoints, navaids and airways in the simulator itself. The data is available for the remainder of cycle 1405 as a beta release, during which we ask you to provide feedback in our support forum. The full release is expected for cycle 1406. A glance at how the area around ZBAA has improved: http://www.navigraph.com/downloads/xplane-zbaa-1405.png ..and around KTPA: http://www.navigraph.com/downloads/xplane-ktpa-1405.png If are using the FMS Data Manager (http://www.navigraph.com/FmsDataManager.aspx), make sure you…

Anyone else using Navigraph data for XP now? If you are can you check with the latest DB at KWVI for RNAV Ry 2 approach? I'm missing all the IAF's and only have the feeder fixes (SNS and SANTY) or VTF. Here's the plate: http://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1406/pdf/00805R2.PDF

Okay so in the manual it says this: Cirrus Textures Cirrus textures can also be changed and distributed as freeware only to the community. Users cannot redistribute modified versions of the default artwork. There are 3 different cirrus textures with 3 different resolutions. The cirrus textures can be modified by painting the “Alpha” layer of the *.tga. You will need a program like Photoshop or Gimp to do this. Cirrus Resolutions: 1. Low resolution 1024x1024 2. Medium resolution 2048x2048 3. High resolution 4096x4096 Installation: Navigate to Resources/plugins/SilverLining/cirrusTextures/....you will see 3 folders labeled 1 thru 3. Inside each of those folder…

I just downloaded the new update for EFASS and started a flight, when I saw this: This is the first weather engine for X-Plane 10! I am on a FSE flight, and since one has to install a plugin to allow EFASS´ "Ultra WX" to inject the weather into the sim, I´ll have to wait until my current flight is finished! I don´t want to get too excited, but this looks quite promising! I haven´t read a single word about that yet! P.S.: I just had a look at their forum, where they show some pics of the weather engine in action, and where they state that the tool is primarily developed for XPX and is still in beta! The screens look very good, even winds aloft get i…

I keep reading and youtubing and trying and getting no where. I have the Saitek usb pro yoke and throttle and rudders. When I try to take off I go straight down runway, at about 60 I start to slowly pull up. Usually it starts to climb ok but still stalls about haolf the time. Then when I do get up and start to climb slowly I stay at about 100 to climb on a steady climb I start to climb crazy fast when the speed goes up near the top or stals, or if I turn I stall or I start to climb etc. I am trying to get a slow steady climb and then stay at 3000 ft and around 90 or 100 knots. I don't know if its the yoke but I am either cliumbing or descending I can't just leave the yoke…

If you go into your x-Plane folder and find the x-Plane installer.exe program and run it - be sure the 'beta' tickbox is checked near the bottom of the screen, you will be asked if you want to update you 10.3b1 install. One of the dev's on XPlane site commented that beta1 got out the door with some silly bugs scattered in that should never have been in the public beta release. So if you're still flying beta release 1 of 10.3 Xplane - be aware there is now a beta 2 for you to try. I like it. Still missing the long-awaited horizon view at altitude enhancement (fix), but otherwise it's nifty, and the frames are GREAT.
