    This started suddenly, I know I didn't have this problem before. In 2D right click works normally - pans the view. In VR, as soon as I press right mouse button, usually accidentally, XP11 CTD instantly. No valuable info shown in Log. So before I start disabling all the plugins and scripts, which is a painful process simply because you must start adding plugins one by one. Anyone encountered this issue so far and have any idea what could be the issue? Thank you in advance.

    Great post over on the .org forum. The latest NVidia drivers have an option so NVidia cards will enable HDR. Turn HDR on in Windows display settings, set the new options in the NVCP and XP will boot in HDR - looks stunning!

    Forced into updating X-Pilot for X-Plane 11, I installed it. Now I can't use it. The problem is the sizing of the <Settings> window in X-Pilot - it is not big enough to display all the information and cuts off the <Microphone> and <Earpiece> settings, and anything further down the page. There is no scroll bar, and no screen 'grab' vectors to enlarge the sub-window. As I can't set these, X-Pilot itself does not function. I have tried the suggested remedies of going to the X-Plane 11 shortcut icon and right-clicking, then selecting Properties>Compatibility>Change high DPI Settings, then ticking box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior" a…

    I cannot figure out how to mount the Reality-XP GTN 750 in the default C172XP in X-Plane. I can resize and place it, but it will not stay in place when I move the panel around. It must be a setting, but I can't find it and figure it out. Thanks for the help. Bob

    Can anyone flying JustFlight's Piper Arrow III suggest what settings to use for control sensivity, control response and control stability augmentation? Also, what, if any, changes to the control response curve are recommended. The reason I ask is that having installed this aircraft model, I can fly easily once airborne. The problem is the take-off run above 35 knots, and the landing roll after touchdown. In both cases the aircraft veers of randomly to one side, then over-responds to rudder input (whether coarse or fine inputs). In both cases I usually finish up well off the runway and onto the grass. I have flown this aircraft in real-life and never had this problem.…

    (btw, the guns and bombs work, but I'm _still_ getting to grips with handling her) Didn't find any bugs to report. about 30 minutes in VR taking off and landing, replay of the last one, think I'm ready to actually plan a flight with it - didn't crash or glitch (sim, VR or the plane) once. The plane is freeware https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/51201-supermarine-spitfire-f-mk-ix-m63-s-update/ I dont think I've made any changes to it...

    With the Carenado PC-12 likely dead in XP12 - despite the best efforts of Simcoders - I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether the STMA version would be an acceptable alternative (considering its currently $13.48 in the.org sale) ?

  22. One aspect of night lighting in XP12 is the total absence of reflection of city or aircaft lights in the clouds over populated areas. Actually if I fly towards the clouds with my aircraft lights turned ON they will not illuminate the clouds when approaching or going through them. It's all pitch dark 😕 Or is there a Graphics options slider I have to push further into the right in order to get those effects? I presently have: - Texture Quality = High - Ambient Occlusion Quality (SSAO) = High - Rendering Resolution (FSR Supersampling) = Off (Full resolution) - Antialiasing = 2x MSAA - Cloud Quality = Maximum - Shadow Quality = Hig…

    I have used X-Plane 11 for nearly 2 years. Today, when I tried to load it, I got a pop-up demand to load my product key The pop-up only had four boxes for key entry, which has six character groups. Trying to paste my key in therefore doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem? I found aline in the log.txt file as follows: 0:00:01.145 W/DRM: Warning: the user's product key is on disk but cannot be decoded. It is either from another computer or the DRM system is not working. Odd,because my version is from a digital download, NOT from a disk. I have sent a support request and bug report to X-Plane as well, but any help would be appreciated. road…
