According to this post over at the .org this has been working since Beta 6 in XPX. I know this had been talked about earlier around here, and guys were disappointed to find out it wasn't working, well I guess it does now.Edit: It appears both are working, the 430 and 530.Check out the last few posts in this thread. I never did own it for XP9, so anyone that has it might want to try it in XPX to confirm?To quote the forum members over there: http://forums.x-plan...pic=55192&st=20GlenEdit: Here's the units....http://www.reality-x...-xpl/index.html

Hi guysWorking on some airports I found I needed to use some pol files, mostly for rwy shoulders etc on grass/dirt/gravel rws. Well sometimes you need for other purposes also.The problem is this. Finding the suitable texture to use. There are hundreds of em so it would be very useful if there was a thumbnail dbase so you could pick what you need. Currently it is largely a process of trial and error.Any ideas anyone?

I was flying the in 172 in snow, beautiful I must say...very realistic at dusk etc... and after a while at fast speeds in the 172 the screen starts slowly vibrating and then getting progressively worse to the point I would get dizzy... like the prop is vibrating the plane to pieces after getting ice? Or airframe icing? dunno... the plane is shaking wildly, but as a slow it diminishes to normal.....unless I speed up again! This effect is only forward in the 3d panel, and not seen from external cams... wow, neat but bizarre! Dunno if that's plausible or not....

I just downloaded the new RC1 demo and I have to say the performance is much improved over the beta demo. It ran pretty well on my system at reasonable settings for my hardware. I love the overall realism. Can someone that owns the global pack give me an honest opinion of the scenery? It doesn't have to be hyper accurate but is it more than just a scattered collection of odd buildings? I would at least like to see the Eiffel tower if I'm flying over Paris or even the lights and hotels of Las Vegas if on an approach into KLAS. Also If the scenery is not on par with even default FSX are there plans to make it better? Any input is appreciated as it is helping make my decisi…

Hi,Does anyone who has this aircraft find that when you power back for the cruise the aircraft continually wants to roll to the right? It's weird because if it was the modelling of prop torque then surely it would be worse with the engine at high power, rather than get worse when you power back?!Just wondering!Thanks!

Just wondering what triggers the building / drawing of houses along the edges of streets in XPX. You'll notice in the screen shot there are no houses lining the street, and there are a lot of places like this in XPX. Objects are set to extreme in my settings, so the scenery is quite full of buildings, just wondering why some "subdivisions" seem to be void of houses. Is there something the user can do to change this? Is it OSM related?Another good example, you can see the houses are on part of the street and then stop. The rest of the subdivision has no houses at all.Glen

Hey GuysI have a question for the X-plane Mavens.I would like to add some custom scenery to X-plane (the program is installed on my SSD), the scenery is larger than the capacity of the SSD, so is it possible to place it elsewhere and link to it?Specifically, I whacked up the whole state of Florida in G2xpl(yes, I donated to Rob...twice) at a high LOD, and it's 220 gigabytes. My SSD is only 256 GB, and with XPlane 10 and Flight on there, I am 10gb shy of my goal.Thanks

I know it's a simulator and not a game, but I must say when landing on a road, I wished I could hit buildings... trees etc...it would really help out the realism of it all... and I used to think you could get damage from Deer and Birds too... but in the demo I have seen you can't...what gives?I just ordered the full version, looking forward to it, but still wish their where some great freeware planes with VC...yet, found none that rival any quality I have seen from the payware ads, not one right?

I'm completely new to X-Plane and just bought 10. Looks good. Does anyone have a complete key command list for it? The ones I've found online are partial keys common to 9 and 10 I'm assuming.I'm eager to learn this sim.JD

one of my buying decisions to get XP10 now is whether the 787 by Heinz is good... worth the $$, far better than the default 747 and if any if it affects performance.... either that or the Challenger 300 I see available to buy as well...any help would be greatly appreciated !

Anyone get the USB key for X-plane 10? I was thinking of ordering one just because Im thinking my #1 XP disk is going to take some wear and tear after a while sitting in the CD rom drive and spooling up everytime I start XP. Am I just being paranoid, or is there an advantage to getting the USB key? I just dont want to have a probelm with needing to replace a DVD down the road.Rob

Just wanted to show you a set of screenshots from my latest experiments with the Scenery.Essentially, you can see three things here:- increased mesh resolution (and thus, increased landclass accuracy). This makes mountains (but many other places too) even better. Only drawback is, that DSFs are much larger, and 32bit X-Plane chokes on them sometimes (but the 64bit version should "fix" this one day).- tuned forests a little bit (little bit smaller trees, and increased density).- my new, experimental add-on of tree-lines (trees along roads) + farms in USA and Europe (all derived from OpenStreetmap data with a few "little" algorithms).http://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909…

I just loaded ksea in the new WED beta 1.2dp1lol, I need a better system to run WED not XPX.WED is great with my little airports etc; but when I went to check something in ksea poor little WED could barely cope with it and slowed to a crawl. Still, the good news is it didn't crash. Shouldn't be much of an issue tho really because not too many airports with the complexity of ksea.Ok I did some further testing and it's the objects that cause the slow down, turning the objects visibility off puts everything back up to speed again. The trick is to carefully group your objects then turn them off when done while you work on other stuff.Regards

Ive been eyeing this one for a while. I wasnt sure if I wanted to get it or not, but I caved in today. Im glad I did. I needed a fun plane for a change and the Zero was one of my favorite old Warbirds. I just need a WW2 Japanese carrier to go with it. This looks like a scene out of "Final Coundown" Now im just waiting for the DC-3 and the IXEG 737 and Im good for a while!Rob
