So... the other day after watching some great screenshots and vids from beta 7 I decided to brake my 100% dedication to MSFS 2020 and pushed it to my rig... It's still under analysis and I like the new separation between FXAA and MSAA, even though I haven't found any big improvement in AA overall, but, well... I always like a ride in the Toliss and took my 320 NEO for a ride, or tried to... Starting at a gate with jetways at LPFR ( Faro ) I can never get the Jetways to attach to the aircraft 😞 If I press SHIFT-G the option to call ground services is available, but the one to attach the Jetway is always greyed out ? Any ideas on how to make Jetways move…

Hey all, Just getting a bit of an idea if it's worth purchasing the A330 for XP12 since there is a default one there already. From what I remember, the default was pretty decent, except it offered no way to do performance calculations for takeoff... But I have about 1900 points to redeem on XP.org store and this is one of the few tubeliners I can actually get, so contemplating spending 1500 or whatever on it. Any opinions?

Hi Everybody, Is it just me or has the flight sim community gone monthly sub crazy? Navigraph, SayIntentionsAI, AICabby, Foreflight, Pilotedge... are there others? How much do developers think we have to spend each month on flying in the virtual world. Wife is beginning to look at me a bit funny!

Well Laminar know about this one, since a lot of there crashes are coming from these CPU,s. And for those who dont keep up to date with Tech. Some mother board manufactures where over specking there boards and running CPUS well beyond safe margins RIP ASUS worst offender, but now with these 2 CPUS its an INtel thing. There base profile was causing CPUS to run faster than they should when they where hot causing crashes, and instability, something to do with power, but apparently other things involved as well. Some bios updates have being released to try fix this but I believe it may take a while to fix this. Its not only an XPLANE issue, other games have this issue with t…

I've only just discovered this aircraft in X-Plane 12 (2 years late) and have been flying around getting used to how this aircraft handles, how to take off, etc.. I also watched Austin's video and it's an incredibly impressive aircraft, however how do you actually land this thing correctly? (After Austin left us hanging in the video)

how do I plugin in NAT TRACKS into the custom FMC. The plane is the AKD-550

It is sttuck on this download please any solution would be greatly appreciated

No more minecraft clouds in XP12.1 which is great however the new weather engine in XP12 is unfortunately a step backward. I know it is human nature to disagree and dismiss this claim immediately but please read on. This is unfortunate as the XP weather engine has a distinct advantage over MSFS weather engine. I am a RW pilot and meteorologist. I have analysed the current XP12 weather engine to the XP12.1 weather engine in detail. The difference in plain to see and very noticeable. The new weather engine now gives more weighting to metar data than GFS data. On the surface, you might believe this is an improvement. However, metar data especially in Europe only p…

Did Laminar abandon the DEV Q&A format? I thought it was stated that they would start doing more DEV Q&As. I haven't heard anything in a while on this front. Do they have any planned?

Is there a "freeze" plugin for XP11 to fix aircraft in a certain position but to allow changes in the avionics settings? Thanks,

There has been a feature of not being able to tune the COM1 to ATC- ATIS on this system for a long time. - Has to be done on COM2. - Maybe. Now getting ATC services is fraught in other words I have no idea what they are attempting to do in terms of lets say taxy instructions (even if I have the airport diagram open to help). Then you will transgress and immediately get bombarded by messages from ATC to return hold or whatever. Here is another one - flight is VFR you check in on the ATC freq for flight following - do the bits and squawk the code. Oops this one does not have a transponder in the aircraft or it does not select properly. You are now bombarded with messa…

no traffic observed between you and your destination, that's what the Tower often reported over the radio on my real world general aviation flights with flight following on. unfortunately, the same is true in my x-plane 12 flights, like at KORS or KFHR. not a single AI airplane observed, although I have a mix of 10 default AI aircraft selected. at KPDX there was AI traffic and shown here in LittleNavMap, but those wouldn't take off, they just sat at the departure end of rwy 16L doing nothing. Ground instructed them to contact the Tower for their takeoff clearance, but that was it. 4 aircraft sitting there idling ad infinitum. at least I saw a few coming in for a lan…

Running the latest on a 55 inch with GTX3080 and when I zoom out in the cockpit to get the right perspective the flight instruments get blurry on the default 737 and others. Just wondering what is causing this? If you zoom in they are clear.

OrbX have just released the XP12 version of their classic True Earth GB South and as with the North release a short while back there's a RIDICULOUSLY cheap upgrade fee if you already have the XP11 version. https://orbxdirect.com/product/gbr-south-xp12

Hi Everybody, Beta 5 is out, XP12 is getting better and better. Hope they take it over the top soon with networking.

In case anyone missed this, back in January, Kubryk on the Org created to link in the Hobbie network for a CPDLC connection for anyone who is not on Vatsim/IVOA who to practices communicating and its use. It has been confirmed that it works with Toliss aircraft. He also put together a short tutorial on how to set this up and use. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/281081-cpdlc-tutorial/#comment-2719444

Hi, As stated, beta 4 is out. If you get a Vulkan / Zlink error when loading XP12b4, a reboot of the computer may be all that's needed to fix the problem.

What happened to the Textures is 12.10 every thing is blurry in all scenarios ?

Just attempted to make a purchase. Wanted to take advantage of the current sale. The card processer presented by the Org Store for making payment was one I had not seen before. I completed the process filling in the info required including credit card info, completed the purchase. However nothing happened except another page came up requesting the info be inserted again as if to make another purchase, this time being the normal Org process. I've sent an email to the Org Store requesting clarification what is happening. Has anyone else had this experience? This happened in the last 30 minutes or so.

Run your updaters. Release notes here https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-1-0-release-notes/

Hi Everybody, Decided to take the jump with my three computers to X-Plane 12.10 and find I'm stuck in a reinstall request due to the following error. "Chromium Embedded Framework Error", tells me to rerun the install. Did that numerous times, now I'm dead in the water. UPDATE: Fixed - Looks like they killed re-shade use.
