The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

This thread is not being started to provide unhappy campers a venue to b*tch...if you feel the need to vent and rant at LR over this, do it elsewhere. I'm looking for a factual discussion about weather depiction here...park the sarcastic invective and/or glowing testimonials about other aspects of the sim at the door, please. What I want to talk about is what's actually going on (or not going on) in XP12's weather subsystem in the 12.00 release version. I think it's important that people considering XP12 know what they're in for now that this is branded a release (final, in LR's own words?) version and no longer a beta. Yes, there's an XP12 demo version...but…

Looks like Q8's going to livestream the updated CL650 in XP12. "In this X-Plane 12 live stream, we will fly the most advanced, most realistic, and most detailed aircraft ever built for flight simulation period. The Take Command!: Challenger 650 by Hot Start is by far the most immersive, game changing product made for any flight simulator to date."

Despite watching many tutorials, I've never been able to get a flight plan to work with LNAV and VNAV. This is on the stock 737 included in X-Plane 11. So I thought maybe I can just enter a single GPS coordinate and fly directly to that. When I enter a GPS coordinate (for example N45W050, for N 45° W 50°), I get the error "NO WPT". Please see my steps in the images below. What am I doing wrong?

Is there any way to get X to notify me with a sound that I need to turn off the yaw damper before landing?I'm serious. thanks

Just installed XP12. Been a while since flying with X-Plane. I want to assign a keyboard command to a button on the joystick (that will switch me from an external to internal view). Thanks in advance.

XP 12 GA Aircraft News Simcoders released an enhancement plugin for default Cirrus SR22 that comes with X-Plane 12. They are famous for releasing this type of plugin for default Cessna and many other aircrafts to increase system depth.

https://www.simcoders.com/reality-expansion-pack/xp12-cirrus-sr22/ Have been loving their REP in the updated for v12 Baron (talk about an utter transformation from v11!), and have been looking at the SR-22, wondering... They've been doing impressive work in v12, with frequent compatibility updates almost since Day 1 of the Beta, and it seems like every time I launch v12 there's an update for the various REP packages - outstanding work! I can only hope they also offer an upgrade for the Lancair at some point, too 🙂

took my first night flight from Miami int. to Fort Lauderdale.....I was surprised how black it was...very dark...I could only see a few lights on the ground and the airports...when I watch YouTube videos night flights ,you can see much more of the lights from all the towns...do I have a setting wrong ???I managed to land but it could have been a taxi way and I probably wouldn't have known..

Hi anyone knows how to fix the G1000 error inf%power in the Cirrus SR22 and other aircrafts? Thanks

I think MSFS has a feature where you can pin landmarks and airports in the distance so you can get an idea of where you need to be more exactly. Does X plane 11 have that feature?

https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/271239-concorde-fxp-for-x-plane-12/ VR: An exciting new aspect of v3 is that now it is possible to prepare and experience the whole flight in VR. +Click regions: have been overhauled including yoke, throttle, steering lever, trim wheel, etc. Many rotary switches can be set more precisely now. +VR GUI: Both Graphical User Interfaces (Main and Checklists) are available in VR. Flight preparation can be done via the Main GUI. Including route loading, fuel weight setting, passenger count, etc. +Hotspots: More ‘jump-to’ hotspots inside the cockpit and many more inside the passenger cabin.

Damn, I just realized how much I used to pirate software, but I'm out of that life now. I wanna know if there's a good a320 OR a330 Or a340 OR a380 for Xplane 11 that is freeware. Thank you guys, you are an amazing community!

I've got a new GPU (rtx 4080) so naturally I want to crank the settings up. Before XP12 went to final release I feel like there was a large difference between just FXAA and 8x MSAA (at least when I set them on my old 1080 ti). I barely notice a difference now. Is there another slider I should be setting to accommodate 8x MSAA? Previously (with the 1080 ti) I could run about 2x msaa before my fps dropped too much. I'm also running at 1440p if that matters. After posting I notice a difference on top of the main building there but MSAA should be the higher quality and it's got a lot of jaggies. xp12_settings by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr (These are 1:1…

A flightsim without weather is like a bike without pedals. Has there been any news on when Austin is going to hotfix the issue.?

is there a selection/way to assign a rotary to move the AP heading by 100s instead of 1 ft at a time??

Hello When I download the latest version of RXP-750-XPL from the Flight1 site, Windows Defender detects a virus and cancels the download, despite selecting "File OK" Have you noticed this problem? I tried on Chrome and Edge with the same result Is there another site I could try downloading? Thank you

Just checking in on the 8X progress and notice the Aerobask site is totalled revamped. Far fewer aircraft for sale and absolutely no signs of the 8X WIP. Any insight? Hopefully 3 years of development has not been abandoned.

I must have missed something you have discovered! I have... Ortho simHeaven X-World Global Forests RealTraffic / LiveTraffic X-Roads (to remove AI roads to expose ortho roads) Who out there has found an addon not in my list that is a must?

Downloading latest update, plugins for XP11 and XP12. Nice.

Gday fellow simmners .

PSA : Try X-Plane 12 first without any mods specifically without Ortho or Simheaven. I was pleasantly surprised how good it looks in many areas.
