Looking good (very good) from the team that brought you the DC3. Loving the weather radar. http://blog.x-aviation.com/2012/11/lets-talk-saab/ Rhydian

clouds moving yet! but they did in XP9, Austin and his team did an amazing job with the road/traffic system but xp10 is not a road/traffic sim. :(

...should be out "Real Soon Now" as per Ben's post. FYI http://developer.x-plane.com/

would be a very welcomed addition to my Carenado fleet for X-Plane10 too :-) Anyone knows if it is planned ?

Hi, I just bought this Helsinki airport scenery yesterday, and I can honestly say that it is incredibly good! There is quite a lengthy and interesting discussion over at XsimReviews. Chris compares it to ORBX quality, and I have to say, as one who has purchased a ton of ORBX airfields for FSX, that it does compare favorably to ORBX'x work. Simon has prepared a rather analytical video which shows the quality of this file's many components. Here's the link: http://xsimreviews.com/ While I agree that the airport is of very high quality, apparently this team makes no mention of setting its sights on developing urban area scenery, such as ORBX has done for FSX, and …

Hi guys, A new 767 series has been uploaded at X-Pilot (I will ask this question there too), and the upload says that instructions for activating doors/frieght is in the manual. But they are not. Has anyone figured out how to activate these features? They indicate briefly in the upload it's via "sliders", but what does that mean? These 767's are fun, with solid external models, "big feel" flight model, and are a nice waiting place until the Leading Edge Saab and other good payware airliners are released (the 777 is a bit too big for me, but it look great.) Thanks! Bill

I am holding my breath for what 10.20 and the following versions will bring, but for the time beingI am dropping the use of OSM scenery. I will leave the objects folder in the custom secenery, for airports I might download and install here and there, but the overall scenery I had for most areas of Europe, Americas and Asia I will remove. Most of the time I am noticing quite a bit of an impact from using the OSM scenery objects. I really think that LR should instead provide more extensive library of autogen objects, and better landcover/landclass for the Global scenery areas. One of the main reasons for my decision is how good I found today the autogen cities aro…

Carenado has released The Cessna 337H for X-Plane http://www.carenado.com/CarSite/Portal/index.php

Hi all, I downloaded the latest update, I'm trying to use xp10 at the moment but every time time I run it, I just can't fly. I've tried a few single GA airplanes and some has a problem as far as I load the airplane I don't touch anything and the airplane just banks to the left and keep turning 360 and backing up slowly, I've checked the throttle and it was all the way idle, I've calibrated my setup and still having this issue. Columbia 400 was one of them, also sometimes I get this kinda shaky view in the cockpit as if earthquake is happening when I load some airplanes. I'm trying to like Xp10 but for now I will stick with my FSX. I have PFC yoke, and pedal…

I'm running x plane 10.10 and I just bought the Garmin 530 gps for the bk117. I installed it per the instructions and only loaded the files and plugins for x plane 10. When asked I pionted to the x plane folder for the install and now I've got problems. The gps screen is dark and unresponsive. I tried to power up the unit by the switch and nothing-dead. Also there are not any of the plugins loaded up under the plugin menu. Did I do something wrong in the install? Maybe a plugin file is missing from the plugin folder-but which one? The install was automatic and supposed to place everything properly. Can someone please tell me step by step how to install this correctly to g…

Makes a hell of a difference, at least to me.... My "too dark" twilight problem is solved :-) xp10.11 Gamma = 3.5

Hi can anybody give me some advice please.Halfway through a flight my computer reboots. I have attached the install log.

For a good comparison of how nice bad weather is now modelled in X-Plane10.11, as compared to previous versions and other sim platforms [ms flight excluded, because that one imho does an even better job...] go to KJFK today [ok, this you can not do in ms flight :-( ]and take your preferred GA twin for a ride around NY :-) There is certainly heavy wind and rain, but turbulence is just spot on! And I strongly hope that damages caused by Sandy are minimal inspite of it's intensity :-/

Showcasing the Leading Edge Simulations DC-3 for X-Plane. The Cruzeiro Itajai (Papa Jack PP-AJC) is long gone, having finished it's tour of duty in the early 70's. A reminder that nothing lasts forever, no matter how well made it was. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/388988-leading-edge-simulations-dc-3/

Hi, I would like to see the distant visibility issue fixed for the next big update. I'm not an expert on Macs but it is known that Windows have an edge over OSX regarding memory management for XP10, so I'm just guessing that in order to have a unified XP10 ecosystem due to that limitation this problem is not fully addressed, perhaps 64 bits would break those limitations and we could have a great distant visibility rendition, remember I'm not an expert on this, but that would be great. What would you like to see improved in 10.20? Cheers,

Chris Serio has posted some video tutorials (screencasts) for creating functional ATC pathways on the ground while using WED1.2b1. The series is worth watching if you are spending any time editing airports in WED. I just laid down a network of taxiway paths in my project airport quickly and easily knowing how it's done and what the fields mean. http://developer.x-plane.com/2012/10/screencast-creating-atc-taxi-networks-in-worldeditor-v1-2/ Enjoy! -Greg

Uniloc owns patents for nasty software DRM They only sue other companies that also use nasty DRM If X-Plane on Android refrained from using nasty DRM then they wouldn't have a problem ... Cut the greedy DRM BS and we will all be better off Then companies like Uniloc will simply ... disappear

Sorry if this has been covered but I'm a new member here and have not yet found an answer to my problem, so please be kind. I have been using X-plane V9 for about 3 years in an iMac and am fairly good at it, unfortunately the iMac DVD drive is a pain in the ***, I'm on my 3rd replacement. Is there ANY way I can run X-plane without a working internal DVD drive? I have an external drive, and a USB thumb drive. I'm not a Mac techie at all, although I was very familiar with DOS and Windows in the past. Thanks a lot for ANY help. fleigle

Hi there, I'm currently evaluating the latest XP10 demo and I'm having a problem/question regarding fullscreen mode. In order to gain some FPS I would like to run the simulation at a non-default resolution (e.g. slightly lower than the monitor's default) but still in fullscreen. In the Rendering Options I therefore select "run full-screen at this resolution" and "1600x900" (for example) instead of "Default Monitor Settings". My desktop is set to 1920x1080. However, all my attempts so far resulted in the game being rendered inside a centered sub-portion of the screen e.g. surrounded with an ugly frame. My expectation was that the rendering should automatically…

Hi all, I am getting an error box when starting XP10 (rc3) (which I did not get prior to upgrading to rc3) which states "Could not get our host..." etc. I read at org that there is a fix for linux systems, but I am not a techie and have no clue how to do that fix. I am running XP10 on a new iMac, and am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. SORRY in advance if this has already been discussed, as I have not had time to pour through the posts here. Many thanks!!! Bob

Hello, I'm using the latest X-Plane 10.10 recently. I find that it's very hard to interact with the knobs (HDG, ALT, IAS etc.) in it, especially on the default 747. When I move my mouse onto the know it displays a kind of arrows with both directions (see attached picture, near the IAS knob). Left/Right click or mouse wheel does not work. How do you do it? Thank you. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58117713/747-400%20United_1.jpg

I'll be adjusting Benny's night textures, but even in their current mode, they're pretty good. The Carenado/Dan reflections at night are amazing.
