Hello everyone. I am interested in getting a triple screen setup for XPX. Was considering getting the ASUS 27" 1920x1080. How well would this work? I've never done this kind of setup before and would like to consult you guys for some feedback. What sort of frame rates will I get, and will the sim be playable? I am currently using 1 30" monitor at 2560x1600. I have an NVIDIA GTX 680 4GB and will be using NVIDIA SURROUND mode. Does running a triple screen setup add a whole new level of immersion when flying?

Check your emails guys. Interesting that there seems to be new features too. For example new engine sounds. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to give it a go. Next is the A321 CFM he said

And since I have to use it for those atmospheric/cloud tweaks I'm wondering what people do for nvidia cards to keep the shimmers down?

I placed many objects via Overlay Editor,however,I want to add more variations,but to the same "object calls",is there any way that I can force XP10 load random OBJ's to the same spot?

Has anyone seen this before? It emits from the center even as I rotate the aircraft.

Before you try anything, you're going to need this handy plugin: http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/mediawiki/DataRefEditor The figures that I show are only guidelines. Really, it comes down to personal preference and experimentation Note: These setting will reset to default when you close X-Plane. Go to this thread to find out how to keep the settings http://forum.avsim.net/topic/433908-experimenting-with-art-controls-raleigh-scattering/ First, open up the "Art Controls" in XP. You'll get this confusing window of green writing. Scroll down to where you see these three entries. I highlighted "deep2_b" as this is the one you'll probably only use. …

Before you try anything, you're going to need this handy plugin: http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/mediawiki/DataRefEditor The figures that I show are only guidelines. Really, it comes down to personal preference and experimentation These tweaks only work with HDR on. Also, the reason I've taken a screenshot for every dataref change is so that you can compare and see the difference that each one makes.

One thing that has bothered me about X-Plane scenery is that the road draw distance is quite low. Only at the highest World Detail Distance setting is it high enough that you can actually trace roads in the distance. The problem with maxing out the draw distance is that objects and trees also have their draw distance increased, causing low frame rates over major cities and even shimmering and flickering objects/trees because the draw distance is unnecessarily high. Surely it should be possible to render major roads fully with only a minor FPS hit, but since it's coupled to the object draw distance, there's no way to find out. Is there any tweak or hidden cfg you c…

I Use skymaxx pro 1.3 Is there any reason why the clouds 'pop' in front of me? Or when I look to the left ( I use Track-IR) they pop in to place and out again? Also, I just did an approach, and as I got lower the clouds started popping from white to grey in front of me?! I hope this is the right place to ask this? I don't know if it affects it but I have the Raleigh tweaks applied. Thanks Ian

Hi, I'm brand new here. I just installed X-Plane 10 on my Windows 7 laptop. I accepted all the updates, so I'm running the latest-and-greatest 10.11. I have a CH Flightstick. I followed the installation instructions for the Flightstick and controller software and Windows sees it and says it is working properly. When I launched X-Plane the very first time, with the Flightstick plugged in, I received a notice that X-Plane detected an uncalibrated joystick and instructed me to calibrate the joystick now by moving the controller through all of its axes several times and then clicking continue. I did this and then proceeded to follow X-Plane's Quick Start instruction…

John of Maxx-XP fame is at it again! I was perusing the X-Pilot fora and happened across these images which may be of interest to X-Planers here at AVSIM. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll just let them do the talking. :smile: (Original X-Pilot topic) And in case anyone missed the winter screenshots that were shared earlier: Exciting times for X-Plane!

Hi all, I've recently acquired some hardware and XPX, trying to see whether I can make a move to XPX. However, I have the basic package installed and loaded up to see a default aircraft screen, very "defaultish". Just wondering for you experienced XPXers out there, what do you consider as essential addons for XPX that one should get to best enhance performance and graphics quality of XPX? I am a long time user of FSX, to illustrate what I mean, the essential addons I cannot go without for FSX is EZCA, AS(N or 2012), REX, FSGlobal and Orbx Global. From there on, aircraft and specific location sceneries are further additions to that. Thanks in advanced,

As the topic suggests I would like to know if the demo for XP is available in both 32 and 64bit versions and if so how/where do I choose what version to download/install? I could only find one demo to download and it didn't say (or I missed it) if it was the 32 or 64 bit version, the only option I found was to choose platform in my case Windows.

The Alabeo Tomahawk has been released. Just bought it and it looks and flies very nice!

Hi, Simple noob question- is there a way for showing altitude and air speed in chase view? I know in FSX you could bring up panels in external view, so just wondering if the same was available here.

Hi guys, I tried out XPX in 32-bit mode yesterday, and it worked fine, but now for some reason it doesn't recognise my joystick. 64-bit still recognises it though. Any ideas? Thanks

We moved the Crash to Desktop (CTD) and 'All About Us' sub-forums to the AVSIM Fixed Based Operations (FBO) Section today. They were formerly located as sub-forums to the FSX Forum. It will make it easier for members to locate the CTD Forum and allow members to post crashes not only while using FSX but any flightsim. If you have a crash while using FSX, P3D, FS9, Microsoft Flight and X-Plane please post the details of the crash there so members will not have to dig through a lot of non-crash topics to see a related problem they might be having. We have also moved the 'All About Us' to the FBO Section. This will allow members who not only visit the FSX Forum but an…

Hi everyone I haven't had many posts in here or anywhere actually but for me I am done with FSX, it's Uninstalled I am off to X Plane, it has to be done, I have my reasons of course, been into this hobby of ours since FS98 and spent lots of money on it but it's time to move on, been looking and flying it for a while now, bigtime difference. I feel better for writing something in here for sure. Thanks everyone. Cheers Regards Paul EGCC

Hello,I've somehow lost my ability to activate The Flashlight in X-Plane.Can you tell me what key/binding to use? Does it only work in HDR ON/OFF? I did a search but turned up nada. Thank You

The update is available now for owners of the original release from their X-Aviation account, and new buyers will already get an updated download version. Overall users are acknowledging substantially better performance. Some excellent shots can be seen here. Go get it!

The latest little project I am working on is a "plain and simple" update of my X-Plane 10 Tree Lines and Farms scenery to V2. The main improvement will be, that you will see a vastly improved amount of tree lines: based on newer OSM data (the same I used for HD Mesh Scenery v2 ... thus the two are "perfectly" matched), which alone brings - because of its growth - a lot of new vector data where I can derive more tree lines now many tree lines are also placed along water features (rivers, lakes) - which was a long requested feature railroads got a few tree lines too Overall - just by looking at the file sizes - the amount of tree lines is easily tripled! Follow…

What file in X-Plane 10 directory is the startup file similar to "fsx.cfg" in FSX? Can it be modified to select a different startup configuration or make other parameter changes?Thanks

Anyone flying the Carenado C-340, is there something about getting the autopilot to descend w/out having to hit the ALT button several times and (2) I assume that there is no alt preset w/ this autopilot. I have never seen this before w/ a GA acrft. Wish there was a more in depth manual for us new to GA and this type of acrft. Thanx for any input.

Always loved the Jaguar so really happy to stumble across this site. Doesn't look like it'll be ready anytime soon, but wow, he's really putting some detail in this plane: http://x-planejag.blogspot.jp/
