The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hi all folks. In the X-plane 10, how can I make an AI flightplan and then putting in the simulator?

This is a post that I tend to write every few years for new users who are curious about x-plane….and also as an excuse to break from working. As x-plane grows, new users approach it with trepidation, pre-conceived notions and prejudices in my experiences and such feelings are not entirely unwarranted as Laminar hasn't always been a juggernaut of information dissemination. Laminar are famous for limited documentation, or at least was in that past. We are getting better but the sim develops quickly and there is a lot to document. Now the bad thing about this is there is a lot of misinformation and confusion out there and bewilderment on behalf of new users that, in my…

As I've been just banned from the PT6 topic (I'm not even allowed to read it :lol:), here's my final AVSIM post Bye all

So I puirchsaed X-Plane 10 and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I installed it about a week ago and have been fiddling with it to get the controls just right. X-Plane gives me that sense of realism that Flight wasn't giving me (keep in mind I'm keeping Flight and will purchase DLC for that program as I would like to see where that program is going). With Flight I feel like I was flying . With X-Plane I feel like a pilot (I'm not one in real life). What I would like to know from the expereienced aficianados here is what they would recommend to improve the scenery in X-Plane. I saw a paid add-on called Urban Maxx Extreme. Would this help the overall appearance of urb…

If you bought the A6M Zero from Xplane.org, there is a free update recently avaliable which adds a very cool animated Pilot to the cockpit. Rob

The last time I tried designing my own scenery was with the Aircraft & Scenery Designer for MSFS 4.0, but now I feel inspired to try something with XPX. I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed, and unsure where to begin. Can anyone suggest a sort of "X-Plane Scenery Design for Dummies" to get my feet wet? Thanks! EDIT- Oh jeez. I just noticed I posted in the wrong forum. Self reported for transfer to the right place. Doh! :crazy:

To be honest, the thing I would like the most to find during one of my visits to this great forum of xplane fans would be the announcement of a joint project by bstolle & GoranM. I'm sure we all recognize both as being well credited, dedicated guys, with great projects (even if I know bstolle from my older times of MSFS..., and Goran was someone I met when I restarted posting here just a couple of months ago, but already know for at least a remarkable DC3!). Well, guys, think about it. It should be easier than making MS release a non-cockpitless DLC for FLIGHT!!!! P.S.: I'm inspired... today it's Liberty day here in Portugal, commemorating the "revolution…

Hi all, after recently leaving X-Plane 10 alone due to poor frame rates etc.... I recently updated my GTX 280M 's video drivers to the latest beta drivers on Nvidia in order to use the new adaptive refresh rate settings for FSX... and wow... the new drivers make X-Plane 10 perform fantastic!! Now with the details turned up once again, my 1st commercial addon (the 787) I am rarin' to go!! Glad to be back and ready to explore!

Just got an email from them. Rob http://www.carenado.com/CarSite/Portal/index.php?accion=product&correl=65ion=incomview&correl=69

Hi Community, Yet another time i need some advice from this very supportive community, i saw that there was a lot of sceneries from Taburet, and at a acceptable price, but can't find any reviews on their products and are wondering if they are quality products or just a loss of money... Because i am considering buying 4-5 of there sceneries depending on other simmers experiences with their products... So is their sceneries worth my har earned money... or is it better to loose them on the wife for getting some goodwill for the upcoming JRollon aircraft... :-) Regards, Mo' here a link to the products: http://www.flightsim.com/main/notams12/tabu0316.htm

Hello all,I'd like to suggest (my programming skills is zero btw), to have a sextant tool just like Virtual Sailor's. I'd like to sail using Celestial Navigation and also by air (DC-3 etc..) with a "bubble" sextant. Sailing in Virtual Sailor is good but the greatness in the scenery of X-plane 10 is a lot more fun.

I'm trying to build my hometown airport into X-Plane, but I have no idea how do I convert the coordinates from the chart to the WED coordinates, which goes to 100, instead of 60 being the limit. How do I convert it?

Just getting into it but loving messing around with Liveries. Getting there gradually but one problem keeps causing me grief--Getting alignment on the aircraft segments on the Fusilage png. I'm talking about lining up the centres of the various parts of the fusilage so as to enable the drawing of Lines/Strips across the aircraft so they match exactly when X-Plane assembles the liveries. I get there eventually by continual trial and error but its hard work there must be a ready reference point somewhere--just where?? I got there quite quickly with the LES DC3 which was a nice aircraft to work on (Again trial & error reference with aligning the front and back …

Here's what my X-Plane looks like. This line moves like a square around my plane. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9061/xplane.jpg Any idea what might be causing this issue? Thanks guys. X-Plane is looking gorgeous with G2XPL now.

My XPX demo settings are mid-high with no HDR / 10% clouds and no MSAA ,My system is overclocked back to 4.0ghz @ 1.55v and also have OC'ed the HD 6750 a little.@KSEA my fps is 30-33 but the moment I start looking around it starts dropping and goes down to 10 and does not come back .Is that a system bottleneck ? or is it a glitch in XPX ?

After the quite successful first release of the X-Plane 10 HD Mesh Scenery, I have added a few new regions to the download section. I hope you will enjoy them too: Iceland Scandinavia UK/Ireland East Europe Madagascar Hawaii New Zealand A 5×10 degree area in the USA (around Texas) You can see a lot of new screenshots here: X-Plane 10 HD Mesh 2 IMPORTANT: the old scenery tiles did not change, so you don’t need to re-download what you already have! You can download the new regions from here

Not sure when it happened, I'm thinking when I upgraded drivers recently (Geforce 301.24 and the one previous release) Deleted my Prferences for a default reload and also copied over my initial Clean Install and still not working.

Is anybody using the free FaceTracknoIR with XP10 and is able to share some impressions? Seems to work quite well with "sim-like" games (watch on youtube). Unfortunately I don't own a webcam but if it works well I would get one... http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm Thanks Flo I used to use TrackIR for a couple of weeks but didn't get warm with it. Performance is great, but cables on my head, fragile and quite dangling TrackClipPro..., finally I sold it. But nonethelesse headtracking seems a good approach for controlling a VC to me...so...

Working an my new MD-80 I just ran into my first serious problem. How can I control the thrust/thrustlever relationship? Looking at e.g. the KC-10 I found out the the relationship is (or very close) linear which is definitely wrong in a jet engine. (at least without FADEC) EDIT: Just found out that it's not only this, but there's an even more serious basic problem: Thrust increases linear with the RPM ?!?! Thanx in advance

Hello guys, I've made another video around Christchurch (NZCH) made by Chris K Caution : You can't watch this video on mobile device because Youtube have block it because I do not own the song ... :'( I'm sorry ... :( Here is the link to the video : Good watching, Thanks in advance :D Antoine :)

I am really trying hard to learn XP10. I have the demo downloaded My discs should be here tomorrow and I have already purchased the JR's CRJ to play with. I am optomistic I will be able to figure out how to use my hardware soon enough but right now i can't get around in the VC well enough to even consider myself ready to fly. I use track IR and have it configured I also downloaded and installed the Pilotview plug in but not sure I am using it correctly or not? I'm use to using EZDoc inside FSX and I'm not trying to compare FSX to XP but is there no application that allows you to jump to a preset view inside the VC with track IR enabled and program that functio…

I've configured my controls and the axis appear to be centered but I'm slowing yawing to the left while sitting on the runway with the 10 demo... Any ideas?Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for a nicely rendered demo plane with virtual cockpit, or do we wait for the full version for that? edit: I found a decent one, the BE9L but the VC is fairly dated, still the best looking VC I've seen in XP9 or 10 so far.p.s. I finally did get my video settings working it looks decent but I gotta find a way to dial up the visibility.

Hi folks, As the depiction of cities in x-plane 10 is at higher altitude virtually non-existent I tried to avoid this problem by using photo scenery. So I downloaded the RS demos and installed them. But they don't show up at all. Is it that they aren't x-plane 10 compatible? Installation isn't terrible complicated as this simply means copying 2 folders into the x-plane custom scenery folders so I don't think I did something wrong here. Thanx in advance Bernt

guess the new forum glitch hit me as well now. pls delete the double posting...
