The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hy guys, i want to edit my Challenger 300 by adding "aditional fuel tanks". To be more precise, i want to increase it's range by increasing amount of fuel it can take. Can someone explain me on how to do that ?

Hello, Today, the Taburet X-Plane 10 global scenery replacement addon has been released through simMarket. http://secure.simmarket.com/taburet-xporbit-for-x-plane-10.phtml Does anyone have a good idea about what does it do? I cannot tell much different from the screenshot, between stock XP10 and the addon. Also, the developer says, flying above FL3000 is not recommended. So what would happen if the plane climbs across FL3000? Thank you. Cai

I decided to start this separate thread because, as someone noted very well, the discussion about the BET vs Table-based and other aspects was, somehow, going on not under the correct topic... I will start by saying I am not using X-Plane10 now (nor the other platform that competes with it...). I decided to give it and me a break... I will wait until I see something really worth the try in terms of fixing those aspects you already know I usually fight for... There is a strong chance of things changing course in the right direction, so I ** still ** hope...., at least in as far as X-Plane10 is concerned, because we all know there are no miracles that can do better for …

I have a confession, I can't stand my sister in law, Shes visiting for the holday along with her brood. So I banished myself to my man cave and made a video with the XP10 64 beta. (Yea my wifes not too happy with me right now!) Im not really good at videos, but I am having fun testing out 64 bit with the default F4 Phantom. Here is a short video I made over the holiday weekend, flying over some of my favorite sceneries. Shown here, is a combo of payware, default, freeware and converted FSX sceneries. Since I wanted it to just be about scenery, Its all just foward view with no cockpit to get in the way. Rob

Hi, I am new to XPlane 10 but have the full package installed after having used the demo for a few weeks. When flying the 172 it does not seem to 'obey' the autopilot. I have it turned on and heading and altitude selected to be held but it ignores the heading bug and the flight levels I set and goes round in circles. I have come from FSX where the autopilot worked correctly and have set it using the same procedures. Is there something I should know, I have read the manual and think I am doing everything correctly but it still doesn't hold course or height properly. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks

Now that the 64 bit version has been released, and although it is still a baby, I thought it might be nice to organize a list of features we would like to see implemented / corrected / removed, whatever, from future releases of X-Plane10. I have initially separated the list into a few sections, but please feel free to add / modify... I didn't have time to think of a poll-like thread, sorry :-/ FLIGHT DYNAMICS: ================ - Correct the huge / irrealistic roll due to torque on prop aircraft; - Try to properly modell slipstream effects on prop aircraft, accounting for yaw to the left (on CW rotating prop aircraft) and requiring right foot, when at high po…

Hi everyone, Got the ATR72 last week. Has anyone been able to start from cold and dark successfully? The engines crank, fuel introduced, but they never fire up. I am forced to load with engines running. Also, there are no pilots in the cockpit when viewing from the outside. I could have sworn they are there from screens shots of the product. Thanks for your input, and if I missed something obvious, please forgive me. I'm used to the complex turbo props and realize this uses default XPlane systems for the most part. Thanks again. Best, Jeff

I have turned on the display of frame rate and get the folowing output in my window: F-act F-sim Frame CPU 10.10 19.90 0.090 0.408 /sec /sec time load Could someone tell me what these mean and which is the frame rate I should be interested in - the manual says a rate of 19 is only just acceptable so I tried setting all the settings for maximum speed but the rates displayed stayed the same.

I have the Saitex X52 and I have calibrated it a few times. No matter what any aircraft I fly have a tendency to pull left. Anyone else had this problem? Am I doing anything wrong?

The wait is over, and after 3 months of work, the X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro scenery is released! X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro is a complete replacement scenery package for New Zealand (North and South island). It is a combination of two parts. An extremely high resolution base mesh (even a bit higher than the other HD Scenery Mesh regions) with updated (and more detailed) landclass data (riverbeds, mines and morains are entirely new - compared to default Global Scenery), very detailed road / railroad/ powerline vector, and highly accurate water data (you should find most of the relevant rivers / streams, tiny lakes, and more detailed coastlines). An additional over…

I can't seem to get the scenery to convert correctly. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong. It's KLAX scenery by Glenn Johnson. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi, I have been using Microsoft FSX for some while now but am now looking at X-Plane 10. I find it an interesting and comprehensive simulator but just using the demo version the scenery is rubbish - is there nothing like the real scenery for FSX for this program and if so where can I see a demo of it. I have tried YouTube but all the demos on there seem to use the same unattractive scenery as the demo of X-Plane 10 has. I would welcome any comments on the scenery available. Thanks

Hey Guys I have been chipping away at XPX64 for the last few days, after getting over some growing pains regarding the sim not starting: http://forum.avsim.n...he-sim-to-load/ I have everything up, running, and smooth. I am so happy that we have the continued development of XPX, despite all of the growing pains that entails version to version. This is a big leap forward for the sim. I put together a folder of my most frequently used scenery to see how the sim would work for me. I am a ASEL private pilot, I limit my flying to the state of Florida in the USA, and I own a Vans RV-9A. It was very important for me to render an accurate home flying area, just…

So I am really growing to like the new 64 bit version, but I can only make it load if I do some extreme maneuvers, like deleteing the preferences file. It seems to get stuck on "Will init ATC" I don't know what's going on at that part of the loading, but I don't even use XPX ATC, so can I cut that out?

Check out this bad boy. http://en.shop.aeros...anguage=english

I have been reading alot in this forum about everyones experiences. I downloaded the demo and tried it. It runs super cool on my computer. The only draw back for me is that I use the mouse to fly. That is just the way I prefer it. I use the mouse and keyboard in fsx also. When using the mouse in X Plane it is way way to sensitive for me. I am used to the sensitivity in FSX. I would buy this if it were not for that. I saw no way of adjusting the mouse sensitivity in the menu settings. That is the only draw back for me. As time goes by it will get better as far as scenery, ect. It does run so much smoother than FSX.

ProATC X Just imagine how different and immersive it would be.... Didn't buy it, because it's for FSX, and I am really trying hard not to invest to much on that platform - I am served and satisfied with what I already have (only really spent money on FSX Gold from GFWL and RealAir Duke, the rest was waiting to be re-downloaded :-), and changed to X-Plane10 in the hope that it will get a lot better than it already is..., but this and other add-ons mark the difference between the two platforms... Of course we're talking apples vs oranges in terms of code stability. For FSX it stopped 6 years ago, while we're still getting updates for X-Plane10, and it will take it's…

At least for me it raised from around 4-6fps in a crowded Moscow OSM scenery to between 16 and 20!!! Not bad :-)

I've been flying the new 64-bit Beta 5 X-Plane 10 and I'm impressed. Anyone know how to screen capture and image with this 64-bit version? Bill Clark

When yesterday I posted saying that I was not satisfied with the new "autogen" in beta5, I was basing my oppinion on an erroneous experience :-( sorry... Actually it's not only my fault but X-Plane10's too (HDR in this beta makes lighting all too dark?...) :-) I have been so busy with my new sim investment/passion that I seldom start either X-Plane10 or FSX (well, the A2A p-51 Civil is a MUST! we should have one at that level in X-Plane10, but for the time being, and with the torque bug, I don't think we could...), so, when I rushed trying X-Plane10, after erasing all of the pre-installed OSM folders from Custom Scenery, I got this image (1st shot bellow) on a mo…

I have seen in these topics somewhere that setting the topics per frame to 3 or better still 4 might sort out the veering to the left of aircraft. But I can't find the setting anywhere, can anyone tell me where to find it please?

Seems like this has been "coming soon" for a while now. but here is there latest video just released. Rob

I wanted to share some first preview screenshots of my upcoming “X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro” scenery. All screenshots come in pairs, with before-after comparison (I recommend to browse trough them one-by-one at picasa, as this way you should see the differences more easily)… so you can see for yourself what its (and what its not) all about by following this link: X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro – PREVIEW (some of the pictures have 3rd party scenery included, which I have named in the picture captions … all of those you can download freely here at the org) You can read detailed (background) information on my website: http://www.alpilotx.net/2012/10/26/x-plane-10-…

Go flying to BGKK NOW!!!! This is 15:39 UTC, so,, for some of you reading this message too late, it'll be .... too late :-/ The METAR is reading: 281450Z BGKK 07045G72KT 2000 +SNRA BKN011 OVC015 01/01 Q0999... This is a good example of an aspect where X-Plane10 does it better than FSX, even using the best weather injection add-ons... With the latest modifications to the METAR parsing algorithm I believe X-Plane10 has reached an excellent level of accuracy, at least in as far as winds and gusts, and wind variability, are concerned. In FSX, even using the best weather injectors, the shear effects are still poor - and I do not mean the turbulence!!!! On the …
