Trying to get the Honeycomb Bravo autopilot to behave like an Stec55 with the JustFlight Arrow III. Opening the .acf file with PlaneMaker, in order to change the AP type, affects the desired change to the Bravo AP. However, now the Arrow reports an error message when loading, and (at a minimum) has malfunctioning gear — the gear goes up and down (with gear lights and performance change) but in the external view, the gear stays locked locked down. A bit of experimentation reveals just opening the .acf and saving it without making any changes in PM, causes substantial alteration to the file and results in the same misbehavior— so it’s not fiddling with the AP that’s …

Is X better in 1440 p? is it necessary? What GPU are you using and is ray tracing matter at all in X 11?

Looks like HiFi are changing the rules on who will get a free upgrade to the XP12 version of AS such that you need to have installed and run the a Release Candidate version 2 or later by the 19th May in order to register for the new version - Edit - I've now found the corresponding section of the website https://hifisimtech.com/free-asxp12-upgrade-offer/

Does what its name says 😉 -> Download. A simple and neat Lua-script, thus very easy to install. If you don't have it already (who doesn't? 😉) - you need to install FlyWithLua before.

If you want a full 4 actuator sim on the standard alum frame like the Monstertech ...but homemade... and you want to use a 50 inch center screen with side 32 inch screens......and you can put the 50 inch on a flat wall right against the wall,...how far back from the screen will the front of your sim chair be??? a typical gaming chair that slides on a plate on the platform...an idea of what kind of set up I am talking about would be like the Noobifier Monstertech set up he reviewed in his videos but actually a homemade one that is similar.. I have a 5x10 room for gaming. but I don't know if the chair will stick out into the room that this little room is connected to...it l…

Hi folks, I am at my wits’ end trying to get my XPL 12 to look even remotely acceptable in terms of image quality. Now I know that this is obviously a problem with my system or set-up, because when I see any youtuber or streamer using XPlane, theirs looks really lovely. Q8Pilot, for example, has his Xplane videos always looking smooth and beautiful, like a photograph. The question is, what am I doing wrong? No matter what combination of XPL menu graphics settings or settings in Nvidia Inspector makes the slightest difference - I am just constantly getting jagged, blurry images, and it just looks like FS98. All settings on high, all settings on low, it all looks …

hi guys. I'm well aware after extensive research that the reality rxp gtn 750 has not had VNAV Capabilities, but I wondered if this has been added recently. I fly the Bell412 EPI with integrated gtn 750 and have Realityxp 1 in the options file. I also have gtn 1 in settings as the Master device. Any info would be grateful John. .

I finally tried an airliner in X 11. 737 800 stock. It got out of control fast and didn't end well. Do you have to have an active flight plan to fly airliners? I didn't...I just took off and came back and the airspeed was up in the 300 range on approach even though I pulled the power and had full flaps... does the stock 737 need to be set up specifically???

I was trying to find a simple AP Nav toggle selection on the menus for button assignments. The choice "Heading select and Nav arm" doesn't work. How do you do a simple turn on NAV on the AP console command or choice? Not the NAV radios, just the NAV on the AP, Baron 58. So when you have an active flight plan it will execute it..

Anyone else noticed if the lighting in XP has changed? Since the beta was released I haven't used MSFS, because each time I loaded it I didn't like the lighting. However, I loaded it a couple of days ago and it looked pretty good. Posters on the MSFS forum haven't noticed any changes to the lighting in MSFS, so I'm wondering if the lighting changed in XP12? I have not changed monitor settings to account why I'm perceiving the lighting in XP12 to have changed in relation to MSFS.

One problem is that my payware plane has an right arrow which you are supposed to click to see different options. First issue is that this arrow is visible in front of me instead of at the edge of the screen, and moves when I move the head. Also if I for example in this menu bring up the checklist it is situated to close to me so I only see part of it. Anothewr issue is that closing pop up windows is very tricky. The close button is not visible. How can this be solved ?

yep. The biggest differences are that Im on linux and mac, and my XP11 had the screws tuned out of it. Not felt the need to do that on XP12, because I spend so much longer in sim these days than I used to. L16 ortho loads a lot quicker than the higher resolutions. longer initial load times is by far the biggest cost of going to l18 ortho. I'm of the opinion that a chunk of the slight load time increase that comes with 12 is down to the new water - there must be a load of extra set up to bind all the physics to the water bodies now in XP12 - There is some improvements stacked here, I hope some initialisation optimisation is also planned. the s…

I have been getting into XP and wanted to know what programs for AI traffic are available that it's similar to what Alpha India Group has for P3D either freeware or payware. I know of a couple of addons/plugins but don't know which one is better.

... as real as it gets.

I've recently had many CTDs passing FL280 in XP12. Still, I cannot seem to find the problem in the log.txt file. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I have been getting into XP12 more and more and wanted to add an Airbus payware. Which Airbus addons will you recommend? I do own FSLabs on P3D so I was looking for something that simulates the systems really well. I do like widebodies and was looking at the Toliss A340.

... loading time: incl. full blown scenery (i.e. with orthos).

I have noted the repeated concerns a lot of people have about the state of the Anti Aliasing in XP12. I have to confess I have never noticed it as an issue for most of the aircraft models I fly and the scenery (including shadows) so shadow lines and lines in general were always crisp and not blurred or feathered for me - until today. What changed? I am trying out a new model (well focus has been on model functioning not its overall appearance given it is an XP11 rebuilt for XP12) so now with this model I see all the anti aliaising issues, blurry lines, strange feathering here and there etc. So my conclusion it has to be the quality of the model its component parts and tex…

Just release today, the link show the video and the announcement. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/288795-starsim-kphl-philadelphia-international-airport-is-out-now/

Those of you who are curious about AuthoOrtho, here is a showcase. Trust me that load time feels eternity for me in my system. I wish LR would so some under the hood improvement to help loading on demand for addon like this one and many others to come.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tile/3d-tiles I think it is a matter of weeks until we see API level integration of Google's 3D cities and worldwide ortho to X-Plane. Good news!

Hi I have both msfs2020 and recently x plane 11. when I fly in the msfs at any at level altitude, the plane always needs constant control input to stay on same heading and altitude. In x plane 11, the plane keeps flying at the same altitude and heading for long long time without any control input. The longest about 20 minutes. weather is set to real world in both cases. same planes-airbus toliss. Can somebody please advise if this is how x plane behaves, wind seems to have zero impact on flight dynamics in x plane 11. I have a feeling my controls need fine tuning. I have managed to perfect the control sensitivity in msfs2020. …
