Hello, I using the JAR A320 along with TrackIr with the pilot view plugin. When I'm in the VC looking around, If I look up at the upper panel or look down at the lower panel, I get a shaking effect that makes it difficult to see the knobs and buttons. Even in flight, when I look out to the sides I'll get the same kind of shaking effect. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a few addon sceneries i've downloaded which cause and error message to pop up while loading that scenery or in an area near to it. It says something like it telling me the scenery may not look correct. I click "I understand" and the scenery continues to load. In most cases, I can not see any thing wrong with how it looks and if there is, Im fine with it since I can't tell whats wrong, if there really is something wrong. Is there a way to disable this message without having to remove the offending scenery? I t gets annoying when loading up a flight in some areas. Rob.

I have decided that i would like to build a computer for X-Plane 10 as it simply does not run on my PC. My budget is around £600-£700 and have created a list of parts for a system on PCPartPicker and would like some feedback on how it will perform running X-Plane on pretty high settings. I am wondering if an SSD accelerated setup would help boot times etc, if it would be worth it, but have no clue how to do it, what SSD to use ETC. I may in the future overclock but only if I desire higher performance which is why there are overclockable components. I only use a single monitor. The List: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: I…

There is a freeware scenery pack on the ORG for KSAN - San Diego Intl (ver 1.02) that is an amazingly good looking airport (for X-Plane 10). Sadly, because both ends of the runway at KSAN are offset (displaced thresholds of 700' (Rwy 9) and 1810' (Rwy 27)), the approach light bars do not display properly and protrude above the surface of the runways! This makes for ANNOYING taxiing procedures, and the only 'workaround' previously available amounted to "DODGE THEM" or "Live with running over the approach lights" or "Take off from a short intersection in lieu of the furthest end of the runway(s)." None of these appealed, and so I have modified the lights to embed into…

I have always wondered how many people are even aware of what phase the moon is in, or rise or set time for that matter. Every time I see a post griping about the lack of this feature I always wonder. Is that a really important feature, or just nit-picky. Of course I think professional astronomers are always aware, but quite often I see amateurs that can't quite put their finger on that information at any given moment. I'm pretty happy to see a proper placement of at least some of the constellations, although I doubt if all of them are represented. I even wonder if anybody will even respond to this post.LOL Just food for thought, inquiring minds would like to know.

I've just received an email from X aviation that SkyMaXX pro 1.2 is released. Yet to install and try it out though Stu

Ive been simming with microsofts FS since FS2000. I finally caved and did the thing i said i would never do, i ordered x-plane. I finally got it installed today and spend about 30 minutes getting all my controls set up and just flying around seeing how it is. First off, what a change haha. I kept pressing the ALT button to try to get to the task bar, and remembered that its not FS!! But i just wanted to post, im sold already on it. Holy potential. IMHO, vanilla x-plane 10 kills vanilla FSX, and yes i remember vanilla FSX well since i built a new computer not long ago and flew in vanilla FSX for a bit just to see how it was. The night lighting...oh my oh my, its all so rea…

Hi guys, Just doing my daily sweep of forums over at aerosoft and found this. Aerosoft Sky Tools Free is a sky enhancement tool that allows the user to change the way the sky, clouds, sun and moon looks in X-Plane 10. It basically allows the user to tweak the sky to match the conditions. There is after all a big difference between the sky on a hot humid August day and a clear frosty January day. Sky Tools was developed by AWG Simulations as a commercial product but we decided to buy the full rights from them and to send it out as a free gift to the X-Plane users. We have done the same for FSX products and it was time to do the same for X-Plane. After all, X-…

Hi! I don't know where to put this thread but anayway, is there a way to convert xplane 10 scenery to fsx?

My passion for the modern Airbuses started many Moons ago in MSFS... I had the PSS, the Airsimer, the Wilco, then the Aerosoft AXE, and was looking forward for the FSLabs... When I changed to X-Plane 10, I had to get a good bus too :-) I now have 3 of them :-) I am glad that they're all replicas of different aircraft models IRL, the NEO, the 321 with CFM 56 and the 320 with IAE. I's really difficult to choose just one. 1) They all are in constant development, not finished/final release versions, the authors are, even if at different paces, releasing updates, and so, they can only get even better! The NEO is probably the one closer to final with the la…

Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy some snowy goodness in the not-too-distant future. http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/6294-some-wip-shots/

Hello, I would like to change my current GC an old GTX570. From your experience, which card performs better in X-Plane X, NVidia or ATI, in Windows 7 ? I've read I need a card with a lot of RAM, at least 4Gb. Stephane

Hello all, contrary to what this looks like, I did do my research and was adamant about getting the XP setup correctly before adding planes and scenery. I was going along pretty good with my joystick and hatswitch getting close to where I wanna be and then changed some rendering options (turning up a little higher). Since then, I cannot for the life of me change views anymore. Whether by keyboard shortcut or via menu, I am stuck in 2D cockpit view. What in the world did I do wrong and can someone get me straightened out?

I'm always on the lookout for good ones. :smile:

From the GREAT French site XPFR! Go get it! "XPFR - ILLE DE MAURICE" Beware to read the included "IMPORTANT!!!" doc about the Mesh to go with this great scenery! A few shots here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/431656-xpfr-mauritius-islands-x-plane-1025/

What a surprise, I never had that add-on. Really nice, thanks to Ramzzess and the Org.

Oh, I've called Ben "Sputnik" so many times :-/ Then I thought it was Spunik... After all is SUPNIK - Ben SUPNIK!!! Anyway, read this new interview, if you care... http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?14518-Interview-Ben-Supnik-Future-Of-X-Plane Learn about the Unique Autogen approach, the plans for ATC, etc... X-Plane 10 is progressively becoming THE REFERENCE!!!!!

Since I have been fleshing out my XPX install, OSM,Airports/Payware ACs/Plugin glarores, etc etc. My loading time is 4 minutes from the flight selection screen. Anyone else notice their loading times increasing from when they first installed?

I'm presenting here my aircraft - The P180 Avanti II. This is an upgrade of the original XP9's Avanti. Main features: Flight model within 10% of the real aircraft (as per manual) Real autopilot operations Many SASL-driven functions Full compatible with X-Plane 10 64-bit Full modeled 3D cockpit with lot of maniplulators The file can be downloaded from x-plane.org, here: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18239

Im a little spoiled of ORBX, so i'm lookin for some good quality airports for Xplane 10 64bit. The best sceneries i found are "Anacortes 74S", an "Blaine "4W6". They are both very good, and there is always something i can explore with small GA, or helicopters. Ahhh, and i should be freeware. B) Any ideas?

Life in Tahiti, doing some training in the SAAB 340, been cruising w/ the C-90 by Carenado in the Cook Islands and Polynesia all this past week.

I am trying to create scenery for NY. I was able to get my test building to show up where I want it, but there is another autogen building going through mine and the two are fighting for the same space. I would like to supress, just that autogen building from occupying that space. Is there an easy way to create and exclusion area to block that building from being displayed and just have mine on top? Ive moved mine to the upper layer in the scenery config, but that alone didnt do the trick. Im thinking I have to create a seperate file to exclude that zone. Rob

The QPAC A320 is under evaluation :-) 1) It is not the NEO, nor the A321, and has the IAE engines 2) It has the same quality FBW implementation, actually inherited by Peter's A321 3) It has popup FPD and ND and other panels!!! 4) It will receive upgrades along the "Year of the X-Plane!!!!" ( 2014 - The Year when all simmers will turn to X-Plane 10... ) :biggrin: :wink: :smile:
