I can assign joystick keys to the Toliss A320 for heading and altitude but they dont work on the flight factor B757? Is there a trick?

Which vatsim client is easier to use and more mature of a build?

Twice now, while flying the Hotstart CL650, I've crashed or rather froze up during my decent. I found the following message at the end of the log.txt. I also saw a mention of this on the x-plane forums, but the thread was closed and no further guidance was offered. I know this is a big flyer, asking for help without more details, but thought someone else might have seen this. Last few lines of log.txt: 2022-01-28 22:55:32 CL650[waas_api.c:205]: Failed to download WAAS API data: server responded with error 404 (Not Found) 2022-01-28 22:56:40 CL650[gps4000s.c:2917]: WAAS data download successful Thanks

Dear anyone who can help, i have been using xplane11 for many moons and i keep all my software upto date but lately my sim crashes to desktop every time just as i turn onto the runway threshold, no matter what airport it will crash without fail, after a restart and then reload saved flight (zibo) it will allow me to enter the runway fine and the sim will be ok ???? very very odd, my initial thought was Xraas so i updated that but its still the same.......Why the threshold ? why would it be ok second time around ? and also the log gives me no info at all many thanks

I never really did commuters or bizz-jets in flight simulation, but the enthusiastic feedback I've been getting from Alexis, my great simmer friend from Brasil now living "next to me" in Porta-Land ( probably the most beautiful place in the whole World to live ! if not for other reasons, because of the great chicas - comment meant for Zulfi here !!! ), motivated me to follow this project. X-Aviation / Hotstart has announced the imminent release. Alexis owns the TBM-900 and all he has to say about it is that it is a unique experience, of detail, accuracy and simulation quality and performance.

My little navmap worked perfectly and all of a sudden i get a message displayed over the map "Contact User:The DJ if you want to maintainOSMdb and or the wmflabs osm server

Heey Guys iam very interested in the airplane but before i buy i would like to ask a few questions -i know the plane has a chart option. Where it even can show where the plane is within jeppeson chart. Very cool! But is this a feature included or do i need navigraph in orde to make this work? - I understood that there isnt many documentation. Does anyknow if you have more documentation planned? its such a sophisticated plane that without a proper documentation even with youtube tutorials your still missing quit a lot info. Even with the cool feature that shows what every system does in reallife. Or does someone know w website where i can fully dive into the sys…

I cannot get the flaps to work in the VSkylabs DC3.

Hi, wish you all a good day. My x-plane 11 became totally unflighable, with less than 1 FPS and here is the detail: I had installed HP reverb g2 VR and had great time with my xp with an average of 40 FPS for 10 days or so Then wanted to try my Son's VR set (Oculus quest 2). Installed all the software and unplugged the HP from the USB port. First round with the Quest 2, the FPS was ok (30-40) I wanted to increase the resolution so, I used the openxr developer tab and activated the custom sampling to 1 Right after that, the FPS dropped to below 1 I did the following with no luck at all Restarted the PC Powered it off and waited …

Anyone seen this before? It is trail of my flight? https://share.icloud.com/photos/006AlyloQf18cD2SIAuD2Xy8w

In trying to assign functions to a profile in 11.5, where can I find the "Autopilot Master" selection? It doesn't seem to be under the Autopilot category. Thanks!

I'll preface this post by admitting I'm not the sharpest cookie in the shed and know nothing about add-on scenery. I come from an FSX background and was happy to be able to (virtually) fly using 2-D panels, admiring the scenery around me when able. Now, however, the paradigm has changed. If I wanted the very best scenery and terrain detail in the upcoming XP12 release, what would that entail, cost-wise and storage-wise? How large are the downloads? When one flies outside of what one has detailed scenery for, what happens? What kind of performance hits are there for different levels of scenery detail? Again, I'm currently flying another sim but options are a…

I fly (virtually) to escape reality. Not for RW flight practice, not to model new airfoils or airframes. So it's pleasant for me to be able to get up with a couple friends four or five nights a week, in a couple of different planes, with close to the same flight plans, enjoying the weather, the scenery, but most of all: shooting the bull with my friends. Pretty much seamlessly. We look at the World Map, figger out where we want to fly from and to, spawn in on active runways (gasp!) or in parking areas, get our acts together, and rotate. I've said it before but it bears repeating here: I'm all about competition in flight simulation software. It makes our very nic…

Nope this isn't one of those threads, I love MSFS and I do believe it is the future of flight simming. Prior to purchasing MSFS I was an avid XPlane user, prior to that P3D and FSX. For a while I left my xplane folder alone and installed. However one cold Sunday afternoon I was doing some housekeeping on my PC and decided to delete the XPlane folder because a) at the time I didn't think I would return b) it was taking up a lot of disk space. So, sometime has passed and last night I watched Flightdeck2Sim showcase the new challenger and its the kind of aircraft that is right up my street - it looks amazing. In a shrewd move all my ortho is still intact on anothe…

Taking some screens from a Threshold article

XPlane 12 clouds are looking good. Even if XPlane 12 is not on your radar, advances in another sim can only be good for MSFS and flight simulation as a hobby.

Hi guys, Looking for a good atc solution. Tried pilot2atc and liked it but it's pretty expensive. I used rc4 in fsx recently and scratched the surface of its possibilities I understand that I have to buy a 25 euro plug-in for it to get it working in xplane11. Is it worth the hassle and the price. I this question has probably been answered somewhere before but since it's 2022 and rc4 is pretty old I have to ask you guys for some help. Cheers! Jozeff

My sim experience has been destroyed. My Track IR which has been super smooth and reliable for years, somehow went into Motion Blur. The gauges and distant scenery now go really blurry except until my head stops. Happened due to the failed installation of a friend's alternative head tracker when I used my sim rig to try to sort out his installation problems. I have spent hours studying, tried several profiles and worked with the set up process for TrackIR custom profiles, speed and smooth sliders, etc. I have spent hours on X-Plane Graphic settings and get 30 to 40 FPS. No matter what I do I cannot restore the previous clarity and steady…

Any one found the problem with the sound on the IXEG737?

Hello! Why does X plane report a FPS and Reva Tuner Statistics with MSI Afterburner report a much higher FPS? In other words Avitab will show X plane 47 FPS and Reva will show 110 FPS. Such a wide disparity in readings. Cheers!

Hi: I am a new user of X-Plane 11.55; For some non-apparent reason. I cannot get blue skies and perfectly clear weather in the simulator...It always appears gray and foggy...I have tried every setting I can find related to weather with no luck...Can someone advise me? Thanks...

Hello, I have been saving flight plans in LittleNavMap as Xplane flight plans, but when I load them in the Cessna 72 Garmin 530, I get "This flight plan was saved with a different AIRAC cycle 1801 instead of 1802. I just updated LittleNavMap a few days ago. The flight plan seems to work OK. Should I not worry about it? Thank you.

I am having a really weird issue where I can quite literally see right through the jetway and some ground service vehicles. The issue only happens at certain angles but you can pretty much see only the plane itself. It happens on all aircraft I tested (zibo 737, default 737, default 747, FF 767) and all airports.Additionally, when it snows or rains there is a box where snow and rain effects don't render at all. I recently uninstalled reshade and am running now only xEnviro. I can't say for sure if the issue was caused by reshade as I only discovered the angles so its possible I never stumbled upon it before but perhaps I didn't uninstall it correctly. The issue persists e…
