    Hello, I have problem with E170 and E195. I don't know how to update AIRAC to newest. I downloaded manuall instalation from Navigraph site (since I have navigraph subscription), but I don't know what to do it with it. And how am I supposed to insert file with flight plan like for B737 or diffrent?

    I am new to RealityXp.and I just purchased Gns 430 and 530. Is it possible to use RealtyXP with the Garmin trainer Lite as a stand alone simulator like the old Garmin 430/530 software? I use Xplane 11 Thank you

  7. Hi guys, I have three 4k tv's for my flightsim mancave. In p3dv5 it is possible to run the centre monitor at 4k and the outer 2 screens run on 1080p. I did this to have sharp mid section and still have decent fps. Xplane runs perfectly fine when using 3 x1080p or 3 x 4k (which is frying my 2080s....). When using a 4k middle screen and 2x 1080p outer screens xplane gets about 10 fps which decreasesto 5..3..1..and then crashes to desktop (video memory error) or I have to restart my computer because it crashes completely. So, 3x4k runs without issues but 1x4k + 2x1080p gets gpu memory crash.. What could be the reason for this? Thanks for any though…

    HI, I have recently installed the PA-31 from carenado on the xplane 11, but I find the aircraft difficult to control during taxi. I have tried different control setting but no success. However, in flight I was able to get the proper setting to have a good control of the aircraft. I was wondering if someone had experienced similar issue and what are the recommendations for adjusting the control sensibility and response to improve the aircraft taxiing. Thanks for your input

    Hey Guys, I've had this problem for some time and it's the one thing preventing me from staying with XP11 rather than move over full-time to that other sim .. If I enable Headshake v1.12.11 then it kills the cockpit lookaround in every plane ie. have mapped View U/D and L/R to the X-Axis and Y-Axis of my Logitech F710 Gamepad which otherwise works perfectly including in the actual joystick config menu. I'm fairly certain it did not used to happen when I first installed Headshake so something has changed somewhere. I've googled and googled but cant find any mention of it - can't believe I would be the only one with this problem ?

    The latest update to this makes a very good aircraft for XP. It will be interesting to see how the transition to MSFS2020 goes for it. While it is very unlikely I will ever not have XP installed this could take my interest in in MSFS up several notches. Dave

    I couldn't agree more with the Administrator on this one. There I times when I get so discouraged about the negative tone of some recipients ... also the fact that the majority of the discussion doesn't appear to have anything to do with the subject title. It would sure be a help if folks who want to change the subject; why not just start a new thread.

    Hello all, In the last couple of days, I have been encountering (in VR) two separate images in my headset. I have no idea what is causing them. However, I deleted/moved all my plug ins and sanity was restored. I reinserted them one at a time until they were all back in and fully functional with no double image. I was so happy. The next time I loaded XPlane 11 though, the problem had returned. I have no clues here as yet but I will look at my Log.text to see if that offers any clues. The second problem is that I recently reinstalled my Xplane11 and during the rebuild, I reinstalled my Just Flight Global Traffic. After the installation and reloading XPlane, the…

    Hello all, Can anyone tell me if there is anyway to start VR with a mapped key stoke in lieu of settings/VR Hardware/enable VR? I also notice lately that it is very difficult to get out of VR mode because "generally" clicking on disable VR does not do anything and I find I have to shut down XPlane11 and then restart. Quite often, even doing this locks up my computer and I have to resort to a reboot. Is anyone else having these problems? Has anyone also got any idea if or when we will get hand tracking support in "any" sim or even if it is on any agenda? Other than that, XPlane is working brilliantly but I am looking forward to XPlane12 I have to…

    AUSTIN, who else ? 🙂 I can't avoid to share here, without digging into details, how much I respect this guy's personality and dedicaton to his causes, X-Plane being surely one among the many. I have interacted with Austin along the years, since X-plane was first revealed to the World in the nineties of last century and he started participating on forums, then sometimes through private messages, and I really have to acknowledge how much this interaction, even if not always ending up giving the results in terms of X-Plane development I wanted to, always happens in a exemplar way, showing his will to accepts critics, suggestions, but also to defend his points. …

Being new to X-Plane 11, having migrated from FSX I would like to enquire how to get a jet way to attach to the aircraft (Ctrl + J in FSX) and opening/closing exits (Shift + E, followed by 1,2,etc. in FSX) I can not find any key bindings related to these operations in X-Plane. Any assistance will be appreciated. Regards.

    Thought this one deserved a thread of its own, because EGCB has been on my shopping list since it was first released. I also didn't buy sooner because I tried the GB demos and really wasn't that impressed, I'd seen the videos for EGCB and knew it was good, but I'm really not one to buy things purely for their visuals, plus, I had "getting XP bleeping working" on my list first, my orthos for the UK were "good" and it didn't really seem _that_ much better. Occasionally I pop in to the MSFS forum to have a read and a laugh at how much further they have to go there, sometimes I feel really sorry for them, sometimes there is hope. This time I ran into this video: …

    I think it's time for a thread as it is less than 24 hours till we get some major reveals, but also, where to watch? Thanks in advance! From what can be gathered so far LR worked on a new lighting, atmospherics, weather, clouds and vegetation pipelines. There should be some major auto-gen overhaul as well, so hopefully we get to see finally everything together. Other stuff they teased so far (previous presentations/interviews), FMOD sounds and Particles for scenery, better texturing schemes for art assets, better terrain, ATC/AI, Airport Services (moving jetways etc...). At some point I also asked about water on the Slack channel and Ben answered this is s…

    Hi guys, I have a triple 4k tv setup and I'm loving it. I also have oculus rift s but I'm focusing on building my little simpit right now. Today I installed enhanced cloudscapes and it looks truly amazing but I'd love to reduce the cloud density somewhat to gain some fps. What's the best way to have a less dense cloud coverage or a smaller area instead of all the way to the horizon? I have asxp and enhanced rendering options installed. Also have xenviro bit didn't like that because it is a fos killer for me also Thanks for any thoughts Jozeff
