XPD-14342 – Cirrus SF50 FADEC not setting CLB thrust correctly (engine spools down to idle). XPD-14322 – Window content in VR windows is painted with transparency and colors are broken. XPD-14321 – No more thermal rise of air with 12.06 new clouds. XPD-14315 – Weather not matching METAR (too many clouds, too much rain). XPD-14377 – No z write on glass cockpit objects. XPD-14365 – Zink crashes on Linux with AMD hardware and Mesa 23.1.x. XPD-14382 – Bug report “GPS Runtime Error”.

Hi, Loaded up XP12 and went to KLAS and I have no buildings, when selecting the airport in the pulldown menu, it only shows a helipad. Is this on my end?

Denver International Airport version 2.0 has been release for XP12 from X-codr. Read about in the link below. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/144327-kden-denver-international-airport/&do=findComment&comment=2603674

Gentlemen, can you check if you have this strange reflex? I was flying over Lake Geneva, no addons on my XP12 b7, all scenarios strictly default, updated video drivers, aircraft Cessna default. The anomaly only occurs over the reflection of the mountains, so if you want to replicate it you have to fly into a lake and move the camera to put the plane over the reflection of the mountains. Is it a new bug? 🤔

I made a gravel strip and it put trees IN the runway.... I can't see how to get rid of them....??

I have a problem with X-Plane 12. Before I added a lot of different liveries in X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12. I downloaded it from X-Plane.org and X-Plane.to. Almost all of them worked with no problem. The liveries I downloaded lately (I tried a lot of them) are simply not working and I did exactly the same procedure like before. I didnt change anything in the game. All the maps in the game are like before. I have no idea why this is happening!? Please if you have some advice for solving this problem I would be very very happy. Thank you very much.

Not ticking it and on NCP, for those with NVIDIA, setting adaptive half refresh rate (my monitor os 60Hz so 30...) and also setting max FPS to 30 in NCP ? What do you think? This was a suggestion I followed when I recently installed p3dv5.4, as a form of loading the GPU and not the CPU with such tasks, but I really don't know how it works in xp12? I am getting a more ir less stable FPS of 30, but I have to check the CPU and GPU loads with such settings...

Hello , I want to buy embraer to X plane 12, but I don't know which one is better FPS e195 or x-craft . Which one is more realistic (flight model, avionics, etc. ) ?

If Austin Meyers wanted stuff to code into X in the future I have a good one but it would take some work for sure.. it would be great if you could place a runway or strip anywhere you want one...and let you pick its design...turf or paved, any length , flat or natural based on the known geo info ...and fine tuning in a variety of ways. Especially useful for people who are thinking of constructing their own strip on their property. It would be a fantastic feature.What do you say Austin??

Weather Wonders of X-Plane 12 - FLYING Magazine Well, I guess I've seen this already, probably on an earlier post by Peter James himself, the author of this nice FLYING article, so sorry for the duplicate, but I couldn't resist posting it here again...

Here is an interview with the scenery designer "MisterX6" conducted by Dominic Smith on the org. Below is the link to the interview. Enjoy. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/293446-developer-spotlight-feature-misterx6/

From now on, I will post the failures videos in one thread to bind them together. They are intended for X-Plane novices and other interested X-Plane users who want to go beyond the "ordinary" flying, so that they know what jewel they hold in hand. An amazing adventure ... when you have to handle the following failure.

Every time there is a new update it takes me hours to be patient during the search! Extremely slow. Seems like Laminar's modem is from the late 90's.:-) Is it only me? Thanks Regards JP Reuland

I have delayed going to the Felis B747 in XP for a number of reasons none to do with Felis. I will come to that shortly. At now XP12 Beta 6, there have been other things to digest. SimHeavens data elevation smoothing has also been revolutionary. At this version of the program and as a flight simulation I can only say XP has become the reality of decades of wishful thinking about a pc based flight simulation. As a facsimile of the world it works seamlessly to produce a highly realistic but not photogramatic world view objects, landscape, geography, buildings roads traffic (maritime, rail and road) brilliant lighting control and well some amazing representations of rea…

I use the autopilot and alt hold on every flight.But I have never got into the vnav option...does the vnav work on the X 11 baron twin and things like IAS climb mode?? How do you use the vnav function to climb on autopilot...? and does it stop climbing when you get to a selected altitude?? thanks for any info..

This is hot release for AMD gpu users. Interesting that sid had to set up an AMD machine just to deal with AMD gpu bugs.

Didn't see this interview listed... https://www.flyingmag.com/a-better-virtual-flight-deck/ Found this particularly interesting: FM: Are there any aircraft on your bucket list in X-Plane? If so, what are they? AM: My bucket list airplane is the T-38. I have not released that in X-Plane yet for contractual reasons, but I [have] flown it in [the software] for many hours, and it is a great airplane in the simulator as well. The MilViz T-38A & C are great addons. Here's hoping Austin can figure out how to get his version released for the rest of us!

I'd like to try some nice addon planes for XP 12. I'm looking for GA, preferably a fast twin with steam gauges, but a single engine/glass cockpit would be ok as well. What are some good addons? Free, preferably, but I don't mind paying for really good quality (like A2A/Milviz/Blacksquare etc). I'd like planes that are comparable/better than some MSFS's addons like A2A comanche Flysimware Cessna 414w Milviz 310R Any of the Blacksquare planes (King Air, Baron) Not really looking for airliners/bizjets right now, I'm aware of the Zibo and others, but I'd rather fly GA in XP as that gives me a better "feel" .. the bigger planes basically fly the same way in…

If I open a pop out from say a Garmin 530, initially it has no effect on FPS. However, as soon as I click the little rectangles on the upper right corner to convert it to a system window, the FPS is cut by just over 50%. This happens with the window still located on the primary monitor. I am running XP12 on Windows11. I have two 4K monitors at 120 Hz and V-Sync is enabled on both. XP12 however is configured to only use one monitor in windowed mode. The second is currently only used for Navigraph and other utilities. My graphics card is an NVIDIA 3080Ti and the CPU is an AMD 5950X. My graphics settings are maxed out except for the number of world objects, ve…

I just found out about the Tobii eye tracker....I am always late to the party... it seems really cool and the reviews are good. A couple of things I was wondering about....I guess you can turn off eye tracking but keep head tracking on... That interests me because looking at a computer screen nowadays is enough of an assault on the eyeball...its not natural light. So I would be concerned if there were two IF rays shooting at my eyes also...I would probably just use the head tracker..if you have used this device what do you think of it and also about my concerns in this post? I think the price is reasonable..
