Hi I want to book RJAA to EGLL in the default B744; Simbrief tells me the air time is 12:00 hours and my Virtual airline says it is 11h 52min. With full tanks, the default xp11 Laminar B744 has a maximum of 9:49 flight time in normal cruise, regardless of payload weight. Is there way a I can customise the fuel/weight to give me enough for this flight? Thanks in advance, Ian Kidd

fyi, every time you close a topic it no longer returns in site search results, making the entire topic impossible to find. You also cannot quote people from that topic in another topic when you do find it - for example when using google search. As far as the site is concerned closed topics are as good as deleted.

Happy New Year dear friends. This topic is for new simmer who might be interested to use X-Plane to "fly mission, buy aircraft and engage in other activities" to supplement their flying experience. Here are some plugins and online services I been using for "role playing" as a pilot. Most of these are cross platform and works in P3D/MSFS. The basic concept is you fly a designated mission and these programs will record your hours, flight quality, and reward you with virtual currency. Over time you will move up the ladder to fly bigger aircraft with more income and more advance mission. Some of these program will allow you to buy virtual airport, aircraft, com…

Hi guys, Been using xplanecdu for a couple of weeks for the zibo and I must admit it is amazing. I just bumped into webFMC and it is provided as freeware for the zibo. I wouldn't mind paying for it either (it must be a hell of a job to create such a thing) but I can't figure out what the difference between the two is. I understand that paid version of webfmc is compatible with a lot of aircraft but I'm looking specifically at zibo right now. Thanks for any feedback! Jozeff

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/01/sony-confirms-playstation-2-vrs-specs-first-official-game/ 4million pixels per eye seems much better than the Reverb G2 with 2.2 per eye? Does XP support Playstation VR?

I have a 10" tablet that I can use via wifi software to act as a second display for windows 10. What I would like to do is put the outside view on the smaller 10" screen and leave the standard monitor for the instrument panel. Is it possible to send separate views to separate devices like this ? Jim

The guys have demoed the new XP12 volumetric clouds. So what do You think ? While it is solid improvement, the lightning affects are still from 15 years ago.

I am glad to see this aircraft released almost 1 and half years ago getting a massive free upgrade. The developer are bringing new technology they developed in A310 back into A300. Here are the change log v2.00 Flight model Brand new FM for the A300 V2 vs the V1. Using new Aerofoil data on both the THS and wings. New FM taking advantage of the experimental FM in XP. New CG calculation allow for more accurate CG across whole flight envelope. Landing gear travel range enhanced More accurate climb performance in upper FLs due to custom system feeding engine thrust data. Enhanced landing feel for even more accuracy. …

The excellent website flightsim.to just announced that once XP12 gets released they will be hosting content.

The developer has just announced (Tuesday 14 Sep), that barring any last-minute problems, the 747-200 should be released within the next day or two. Price will be around $70, though that is not confirmed.

Hi, Recently, a device was added to the standard devices Evektor EV-55 outback that can be downloaded for free. There are 4 other models outback and outback SP in addition to the prototype. and the version with G1000. This is a wonderful aircraft with which I have already done a few flights. I have a number of payware aircraft of the same genre and which integrate RealtyXP's rxpgtn 750. I miss that in this beautiful aircraft. Now I use the gtn 750 as a plugin. I would like to see the garmin changed to the gtn 750 from garmin. Is there any hope of someone making that happen?

Felis 747-200 Classic Addon is very very close to being released. For those that doesn't know Felis previous work in X-Plane, he mostly developed Russian Made Aircrafts before. His previous work, the most famous, Tupolev TU154, has been highly regarded for years. I admit I'm not as hardcore to go full Cyrillic and fly thinking in Kilometers per Hour, but now this is finally for us! This is the Addon that made me get my X-Plane back to my Computer. Installed all the Sceneries, HDMesh, Sky Plugins, ReShade, complete package! 🙂 I thought I couldn't go back to XP11, I was going to wait for XP12, but this can't wait... It has been 3 years in the makin…

Hi.. cant get the auto pilot to follow the flight plan on the G650...Trying to just find someone that has one that works? thanks

I’m using an AMD RX550 4GB, and whenever I update the drivers to a version older then 21.8.2 the sub-windows of XP11 (information messages that show up, loading screens, addon menus, etc.) completely blurry as shown on the pictures! This is really annoying, is there any way to solve this?

I'm getting the following error, but I'm not sure what to do to resolve it. I have looked at my log file and deleted the files it says are in error, then updating XP, but it still doesn't resolve. Below is a link to my log file: Log.txt Thanks for the advice.

This months PC pilot ,(which is also available on the Readly app )has a comical picture of the eccentric genius Austin Meyer on its cover. Inside there’s a 6 page features which is part 1 of an article written by Austin himself about the upcoming XP12. Very interesting and has me excited about the future of XP.

Looks very in depth and free! https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/77466-xfer-design-h145/&tab=comments

Hello Guys, I have dedicated SSD NVMe 1Tb for the X-Plane and addons. However the space available is shrinking. I am thinking about buying few HDD to put mainly the scenery on it. My aim is to keep X-Plane on SSD NVMe, but scenery like Airports/ORBX/Ortho, etc. on new HDD drives and link it using the addon like xToolbox. My question is, will I notice a significant decrease in loading times in X-Plane booting using these method? Or the booting times does not matter as long as the X-Plane is installed on the SSD? Thank you for your help.

Hello MD-80 captains. Here is the preview of the first proper soundpack exclusively developed for Rotate MD-80 Pro. "All sounds are recorded in the real MD-82, and carefully processed to provide the most authentic and rich sound experience. In this 4 minute preview, you can hear full cockpit ambiance - avionics, packs, switches, some levers, takeoff roll, gear retraction, and of course engine sounds. Speaking of engine sounds, be aware that we used "immersive" version of the sounds in this preview, they are louder. We will also include "authentic" version, which is (a lot) quieter and less aggressive, like on the real flight deck. Release is expected in the next…
