The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

My OS is Windows 7 64. Xplane is 10.11. I purchased it on 12/26/12. I am also confused as to purchasing new aircraft. IE. will XPlane 9 aircraft run on XP 10? I'm coming from FSX. I'm really confused as to what to purchase. Because of all these versions and what works with 32bit and 64bit and version 9. Can someone clear things up for me. I don't want to spend money on scenery or aircraft only to find out it won't work with my version of XPlane. Thanks in advance to all who reply. Bill

Does anybody has experience in developing a plugin with MonoTouch on mac for x-plane?

anyone buy it yet?

Hi everyone, I did some looking around but did not find an exact answer. Does the MU2 work in xplane 10? I have version 10.11. also, if someone has this in xplane10, how is this product? Looks pretty nice. Thanks! Best, Jeff

Aerobridge and John Spahn of Maxx fame have brought us a marvelous little airport. Which MSFS simmer of yore doesn't remember Chicago's Meigs Field? Once one ot the nation's most popular GA airports, Meigs was brought to ruin in 2003 by Chicago's mayor. This iconic airport may be dead in the real world, but now it lives on in X-Plane! Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bJvKKrkZhSE The file is a free download from John's site: http://maxx-xp.hiking-pa.com/?page_id=339 If the want to enhance the scenery further with landmarks and a recognizable Chicago skyline, go to Ted's Scenery: http://theosda…

Hi all, I do not know if this is the right place. Anyway I'd like to suggest to any developer or X-Plane staff the ability to have a sextant available for use in a ship or an aircraft. Flying Boeing's 314 "Clipper" the way it was real flown navigating with dead reckoning and Celestial navigation must be something to cherish. I know that it takes time and lots of programming to design such a utility within X-Plane but I'd be happy to have a simple "Point at a Star/Planet/Sun then get angle above horizon with a certain margin of error". No need to identify the celestial body nor do all the calculations to pinpoint your location. This feature is in the Virtual S…

From MR3D [of A6M21 Japanese Zero fame] looks like he's working on a Pilatus PT-6 Turbo Prop Porter.This aircrft has a very distinct look.One you probably either Love/or Hate. One thing you can't Hate about The Porter is it's Powerplant's performance.That Turbine engine coupled with it's light weight make it a fabulous STOL Aircraft and Bush Plane.Really looking forward to this one,I have MR3D's Zero and LOVE IT!! Watch his sight for more info....... http://hosting.x-pla...site/index.html

Fine tuning of the default aircraft in xp10, avoiding user license infringements, of course, is a nice way to spend our time while we wait for further flight dynamics core modifications from Austin... While he fights the patent trols (a fight I fully support) we can take our time to learn more about the rather detailled plane-maker (PM) editing potential... A special THANK YOU to Goran who first pointed me some of the most interesting areas to explore in PM!!! One area where I find most default aircraft fall short from being realistic is the response to some control inputs, like the rudder, for instance... Take the default C90 and get to a cruise altitude of,…

I sent the devs an email regarding a fix for the lights on the wingtips and here is the reply: "we will adapt to the lighting system of X-Plane 10 when we discontinue the X-Plane 9 version of the 777. X-Plane 9 doesn't give us a realistic option for winglights right now. So I think we'll have more lighting options with the Boeing 777 Cargo variant for X-P 10 that we plan to release in February." :clapping: :yahoo: http://store01.prost...e/Detail?no=398

Hi, I'm planning on downloading the demo for X-Plane again (the first time I haven't had much success but that was before I got my joystick), to see how it feels like! Are there any good Airbus Add-ons (perhaps very similar to Airbus X Extended) for X-Plane? Thank you!

:yahoo: it looks Amazing http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=437

Alabeo is creating their YMF Waco for X-Plane,I'm very excited about this classic aircraft! You can get more inf/pics here...... http://www.alabeo.com/index.php

Hey folks. Long time simmer here just coming back from a big 2 year break or so from flight simming, looking to get a basic set up again... joystick with a good sim + loads of addons. Since microsoft dropped the ball with flight and no plans to make any future sims in this area, I'm thinking of branching out, my background: Started with FS2002, followed all the way up to FS2004 and stayed there for quite some time until FSX mature heavily, and I mean years before I came from FS2004 to FSX. However I do think that maybe FSX is getting dated as well now, so before I commit to FSX again, I'm re-thinking some of my sim options. X-Plane is one of them, how does it stac…

I finally decided to download the latest beta and try X-plane X. Hey, it's a new year. Why not? I hope you don't mind if I share my experience and then ask the question: Are devs going to embace this simulator? I hope that they do because it has the potential to be great simulator! Installation was simple, but loading times seem a bit slow and setting up the controller and grapics was complicated. I tried the 64bit version and noticed shimmers in the distance, but after teaking the settings I noticed sharper textures and smooth flying. 1) The default planes are ok, but I will be using payware airplanes. I know that this will NOT be an issue. 2) The gr…

So I have been experiencing an issue with the 3D cockpits of all of my third party aircrafts such as the CRJ-200, 777, dash 8, jet stream where I try and click switches in the 3d cockpit and they simply will not switch. I am running the 64 bit X-plane 10.20b9 and was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem or is it just me, and if so how can I fix it. I currently cannot fly any of my aircrafts including the new jet stream and it is torture please help! Thanks Chris

Hi guys I have been away from flight simming for a while. Just a quick question. I am on version 10.05r1 and when I startup it asks if I'd like to update to 10.11. My question is "is there enough of a general improvement in the FR to make the upgrade worthwhile?" Thanks Pete

Any word on when the 64 bit update will be available? I got the email in November, but since then, not a peep.

Hello, I have a question on view points in XP10. When I look out the windows in the cockpit, I cannot see my displays. If I want to see my displays, I have to pan the views down. I need to zoom out, but pressing "-" on the keyboard does not work. I tried to view eye point backward, but can easily go into the seat head rest... Do you have a solution? The screenshot tells the problem: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58117713/C-17_Globemaster_III_1.png Thank you. Cai

Some of you may be aware that TruScenery has made available Ortho scenery for the greater Helsinki area at no cost to you. This scenery includes objects created with OSM2XP, and looks pretty nice. Some time ago I purchased the Malmi airport scenery from this company and was quite pleased with it. I then added the ortho scenery, after which I thought, "why not get their Hyvinkaa airport as well, and then I would have a complete circuit to fly with nice-looking airports at each end and nice scenery in between." Well, when I purchased the Hyvinkaa airport, I discovered that it offered winter textures, which some of you may have noticed in the promo video. Unfortun…

Hello everyone, I have been looking at the ERJ-140 addon on sale at the ORG store. However, I see nothing so far about how deep the system simulation is. I even found no screenshot that has Flight Director turned on. So is this addon comparable to the FSX feelthere rendition? And what are your experiences with it? Thank you. Cai

Just saw this released over on the x-plane.org store; http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=436 I'm sure there will be some level of comparison with the also just released Aerosoft Airbus Extended in FSX but looks impressive! Good price too for what it offers. EDIT: found some additional good detail here: http://airbus320neo.com/

Hi everyone, I used FS2XP to covert a few airport scenery packages from FSX to Xplane. For some reason, the Flytmpa airports have large grey walls at runways. (KBUF, KTPA and TNCM-St Martin package) As they are registered in FSX there is no problem, but I think in Xplane, it sees them as not registered, hence the grey barriers. I've seen posts here about Flytampa converting with ease, but did not see this issue mentioned. I also tried to open WED and that software doesn't even let me do anything to any scenery...just a blank canvas with no options. What could I be doing wrong all in all? Sorry for the mutlitask question. Can anyone give me some advice? I hate empty airpo…

No developer notes from Ben yet, so not sure what changes to expect. Maybe 32 bit won't crash as much? Cheers Bruce H (Oz)
