Hi guys, first post so be kind. I'm currently trying to get my head around running Xpx over 3 screens. The trouble I'm having is adjusting the view in the 3d cockpit. I can't get the zoom level right to enable me to see the cockpit as well as the view from the windows. So am I missing something, a tweak, plugin or is this more an issue with Xpx's rendering over the three screen resolution. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Best wishes,Jess B

I find this incredibly complicated in XP (especially over FSX). Wonder if anyone has noticed this or has any techniques...? I find most clickspots in XP to be super small (plus or minus hand) making this job even harder. In a real plane you just grab things with your hand. At least in FSX I find the actual spots to click are larger and I can use the precision of the mouse wheel. I flew on pilot edge last night and had a heck of a time navigating to a VOR, changing a radio freq and keeping the plane under control. I wasn't perfectly trimmed for the climb but wasn't bad either. Factors are Track IR - which I pause during this process with my middle mous…

Hi there. I am having a Little problem calibrating my cyborg V1 flight stick. When i run the calibration ingame it will not center at all... Every bar is a bit to much to the left, and not centered. Ofc. this gives some major problems, just standing still on the runway. Well it turns around in circles. Rather funny to look at, but last time i took of, i smashed in to the Tower at LAX... It is not crosswind unless there is a freaking tornado on top of me. Crosswind is a popular answer i noticed Not the perfect takeoff. Are there any way i can center my joystick, so it is centered and not "Centered slightly to the left"

Hi guys, Fly to any major city on X-Plane, and you'll see a bunch of generic buildings. Fly to any major city on Google Earth, and you'll find custom-made 3D buildings which replicate the ones which you would see in real life (go ahead and try it). But in some cases, (such as San Francisco), Google Earth doesn't have 3D objects for buildings, but rather has the city actually photographed in 3D. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but importing these buildings from Google Earth to X-Plane shouldn't be a mammoth task. In the case of cities like San Francisco, maybe it could be possible to import the whole 3D city? What do you guys think? I reckon this should be…

How can we change view when you are in a cockpit of a plane ? I run XP 10 demo on a MacAir if that helps you... Thanks for your answers schnitzelgr

Hey folks, I have the LES DC-3 and I just love this old girl, however my skills are really lacking, I can get her off the ground with no problem but I am really struggling with the important part..... getting her back on the ground. Can anyone point me in the direction where I could get some tips on approach and landing configs etc. any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Scot

XP10 night looks to dark to me and mainly because of the small amount of light that the street lights produce (Im talking about HDR lights when it lights other objects around). Does any body know if there is any way that I can make the street lights to produce More light and to light more surface and around?

Hi everyone, Was the expected SP for the X-Aviation Saab340 ever finished? I remember seeing news sometime ago and have not heard anything for sometime now. I sent an email to x-aviation weeks ago and never got a response. I have it in the hanger as it hits my system so hard i can't enjoy it at all. If i'm not mistaken, the SP was supposed to address performance issues some are having.Thanks in advance for any info. :-) Best, Jeff

I have installed the XP9 demo from the website (I tried XP10 but was a bit too heavy for my elderly PC) and it runs really well, better than FSX or P3D, so I've ordered a copy from Amazon UK. The demo seems to be a time limited version of the full thing with limited scenery installed. It checks to see if the disc is inserted before starting the clock, so what I'm wondering is will I have to uninstall the demo and then install the full thing from disc, or can I just install the scenery that I want to use (I'll only be flying UK initially) on top of the demo and run it with disc 1 in the PC? That would save some time if possible. Also, if I later want to install add…

The 64 bit drivers for ELITE hardware are available! https://www.flyelite.com/downloads/x-plane-hardware-driver/

Just got email that update 1.3 has been released! B)

Hi! Have a look on Peter's homepage. It states that, if everything work as expected, the A320 and A321 will get their free upgrade for the 3D cockpit this weekend! I am really looking forward to this, it'll make my favourite Airbus simulation even better!

Hi to all people, is there a way to fine tuning trackir with XpX? I try to explain better myself. Most of my time fly with FSX and EZCA which support a specic "cockpit wall" feature that give you the chance to fine set the limit of tracir camera, so you never exceed out (right, front, back, etx etx) the cockpit. Every time I fly with XpX I can't enjoy my flight with trackIr because all the time I "go out" from the cockpit, or I go behind the driver's seat and I see all black, and every time I have tu push F12 to reset position, a very annoing story.... So is there some plugin similar to EZCA or a way to properly set trackir profile?

Hi all, Firstly, I'm getting back into flight simming in general, and believe X-Plane is the way forward for our hobby. Now I'm extremely impressed with all the FREE content available in terms of scenery/planes and am simply wanting to get the most out of what I am running. With that in mind, I am using Simheaven London ZL17 photoscenery and OSM with autogen and giving things a go at EGLL (Aerosoft-supplied package with the global X-Plane 10 installation). This free scenery is great, but unfortunately not perfect as you will see from the screenies below. Not only do the airport objects and photoscenery textures not line up, but there are random roads along the apr…

I just bought a brand new iMac running OSX 10.9.1 with a fusion drive and x-plane 10. I have USB flight controls by CH Products (worked fine on X-Plane 9 with my old mac). I can calibrate the usb controllers and see that X-Plane reads the full range of motion continuously in the calibration screen without issue. As soon as I switch back to the simulator to fly, the usb flight controls seem to move the designated airplane control about half-way and then stick. At that point, they can no longer be moved at all by the usb controllers. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone! I've been a fan of MS Flight Simulator for many years and just heard of XPlane very recently. I've tried the demo and I like it, and I may be ready to buy the full version (home use). I wanted to know how much hard drive space the simulator takes up. I have a Solid State Drive with only about 86 GBs free, and I read somewhere that the game takes up 80 GBs?! That's cutting it real close, so I'm hesitant to pick it up unless it doesn't really take up that much space. Any info or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Has there been any word on updating the falco for XP64? I am asking because it is almost exactly like the plane I fly IRL, and it was a great training aide. Going back to 32 bit to use it is not an option because I use high detail photoscenery and other plugins. I thought It was to be updated, but it seems that not much is happening.

... the Piper PA46 Malibu Mirage 350P. I'm really looking forward to this one. It's a great plane, easily cruising at 25000 ft. It was one of the default planes of Fly! and Fly!2, and I got to appreciate it's nice cockpit and great performance. Pascal

I'd really like to buy those big B737, 777, 747, A320, A330 but any time I'm about to press the BUY button I hesitate and then give up. What is the purpose to learn to fly a big plane with complex and detailed avionics if the world around me doesn't offer a liner friendly attitude that, for me, reflects into a plausible and user friendly ATC coupled with rich and believable AI. I can cope without AI when flying GA at small airports, the beauty of the landscape and the immersion of the flight models make me forget, even better, they increase the appreciation of the silence around me, but sitting at large airports alone is a no go solution. Even worse flying IFR at …

I fly with a couple of people in flightserver.net. To see each other we have to put a plane folder into the cls file within resources/plugin/x-ivap. My question is: is there someone familiar how to do it and show me the way how I can do it? thnks in advanced duke

Greetings, I searched but couldn't find a reference to this topic. I've just had the game for about a month. I started a flight in the default Cessna. Did not contact ATC. Entered a destination airport using the Direct-to button in the GPS. Took off and turned on the autopilot. All was looking good. Then the screen below popped up and stopped the game. Clicked on "Understood" and the game continued on. What do you think could have caused this so I can avoid it happening again?

Hi I know that you get the plus sign on window to fly with the mouse, but if you have a joy/yoke I can't get this option. Is there a way to fly with the mouse, even with hardware plugged. Thank's

I have an Airport I have been working on and there are autogen trees located at the end of one my runways. No matter what I try I can't keep the autogen from placing trees in one spot. My exclusions are working as the Airport has the shape I sectioned out.
