The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hey, maybe its age, but I'm really struggling with deciding on a spec for a dedicated PC for my XP11. I currently run it on my Macbook pro, but really want to start setting up a dedicated station (16gb+ ram, gaming graphics etc.) so that I can run with as much graphic realism as practical in the budget - I just dont know where to start. I have built PC's in the past, so am open to that, there just seems a massive array of choice nowadays. I've looked at off the shelf and ideally (as I'm retired) want to spend as little as possible (around £400 max). I have monitors, keyboards etc. so am only looking at the PC hardware itself - OS wise I'll probably transfer my O…

at startup of xplane11ck I regularly get the following error

so I have Activesky xp and Xvision. I tried Gatwick airport on FS2020 and the atmosphere was realistic with stormy clouds, overcast, fog, rain etc. Switched to XP11 with activesky and xvision same airport and the sky was blue :) To be honest the athmospheric weather on xp11 is always the same that is either blue sky or white sky if it is not dark. Anyway to get same like FS2020 ? Am new to asxp and xvision so did not mess with any settings if not putting impressive preset. Someone mentioned to use enviro but since I fly in VR I don`t want to ruin my FPS.

This is a posting where people get to freely review there experience with add ons for the community in XPlane (remember we prefer non descriptive reviews) a simple Yah or Nah is more than enough with what works well or does not.

I know it has been mentioned in another thread, but it deserves it's own discussion. Here it is: Cheers, Pascal

I think something that is missing in current flight sims, is the feeling of a "living world". Of course we already have air, ground and sea traffic, etc. But that is only part of it. MSFS also has animals in a few specific places, and that is another step toward a living world, albeit limited. But I'm thinking something more comprehensive and organic. For example, the moving trees seen in the preview, add to the feeling of a living world (MS Flight had them, and they improved immersion). Other things may be: dynamically changing seasons, environment reacting to weather (e.g. snow accumulation/melting, puddles after raining, etc.), ambient sounds, dynamic we…

I got this plugin and looks cool but I have a problem that in VR I keep moving either back or mainly forward and would need to adjust all the time my VR position. Where can I disable this setting ?

Have you seen the Collimata trailer? Due into early access this month, can't wait! https://youtu.be/zxMTnGp6g6Q

Was there a very long, the longest, flight you recall having flown in X-Plane ? Was it "vlown" ( virtually flown ) using detailed navigation, maybe even ATC, weather, operations as a whole ? If possible, please describe it succinctly.

Hello, first off let me introduce myself to the forum. My name is Bill and I am a real life airline pilot, currently flying with a regional airline on CRJ 900's and 700's. If you routinely fly out of Charlotte, NC from the E gates, there is a chance you've been on one of my flights. I've been a flight simulations junkie since middle school and been professionally flying since 2007. Even though I do not fly 757's, I do have a experience in a Level D 757 full motion simulator. I also have experience programming in C, C#, Java, and a little C++. So I also know just how hard it is to replicate the systems on a real airplane, and can only imagine just how hard it can be wi…

I downloaded this aircraft yesterday for X Plane 11. As a real time pilot licensed on the Comanche, It flies like the real "thing". I was very disappointed to note that the engines sounds are not the authentic sound of the Lycoming 160 HP engine as with X Plane 10's Comanche. In the notes it stated that the engine sounds were recorded from the real engines. This is not a true statement. I presume the download (v 1.3) is the latest one in the X Plane library. Would be fantastic to have X Plane 10's Comanche engine sounds back which was the real "deal"! Regards Sundownner4

I have Xplane 11 with Just Flight Piper PA28R Arrow which supports Reality XP GTN750. I am trying to get the GTN750 in Air Manager to work such that I can interact with it via touch screen and will not with the Bezel in front. If I just use it as a pop up window, it works. Does anyone know how to get this to work within the GTN750 bezel within Air Manager?

The Q4XP is in the final phase of development: https://www.flyjsim.com/post/q4xp-coming-soon Lots of screenshots there, looks awesome.

I would like feedback from folks who use Goflight HW with XP. I found the Goflight official support to be completely non existent. The company only provided two links, one to a very old free plugin and the other to Polypot's. I have had bad experience with Polypot software in the past, and for the asking price, which is close to 50 CDN dollar is high. I only have two Goflight RP-48 modules and I would like to use them for Autopilot and other small, common function with planes in XP. Could anyone share with me any experience they have with using Goflight ? Thanks in advance.

Can't access, seems to be down!

I bought three planes from X-Aviation last year. I installed them. They worked. They have stopped working. I wrote support a week ago for some assistance, got a ticket #, and was asked again what the issue was. I reiterated the license fail issue. The planes were working, but now are not. I have heard nothing back after answering them. I waited a couple days and then sent a note saying basically "hello, what's up". I got frustrated and posted on the forums they use for their products, and low and behold an X-Aviation member responded. My view is why would you be able to respond, and not friendly, taking that time on that forum, yet you can't a…

Hi guys, We are currently developing a simulator for the Pipistrel Velis Electro for professional training purposes, however, this plane is not yet available in X-plane 11 or Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Does any know a professional cockpit/ plane builder who we can contact to help us develop this plane into X-plane or FS 2020? Please let me know! Winged regards, Maarten, FlightSimDelft

XP12 must support all current scenery and aircraft addons. XP12 may have new and improved features but current addons must work "as is". XP12 must not create additional installation or maintenance issues. XP12 must be coded to be flexible unlike original Vulkan release which threw errors even just for "incompatible" objects. XP12 runtime errors, if any, should not popup an annoying dialog in the main sim view.

Hello all, I have no idea why this has suddenly occurred and have no real idea on what causes or fixes it. This occurs in VR and 3d cockpits and the surrounding scenery. The cockpit is so dark I cannot read the instruments and is occurring in both steam and normal editions. Can somebody please point me to where I can brighten the whole thing up. Regards Tony

So recently I've been using X-Plane a lot more recently, but have not really delved into the weather depiction side of things. The default clouds aren't really that good, so I've been looking into some weather plugins. I currently use ASXP + XVision, and it looks okay enough, though what do people think about the all the other plugins? (XEnviro, SkyMaxx Pro, UWXP, FSGRW) From what I heard XEnviro was pretty bad with performance, usually halving the framerate and half the times it produces beautiful clouds while the other half it produces streaky blurry clouds. And the $69 price tag is very intimidating. SkyMaxx Pro i honestly wasn't that impressed by the s…

Bought it after Microsoft Flight Sim needed a very expensive graphics card upgrade, at this stage all i need to know is how I assign, engine,brakes, flaps, steering etc.. to my keyboard or Logitech Joystick. Thank you

Apparently happening on the "flight simulation association" website, at 1.5 1800UTC, it is claimed for some previews and teasers. I'm not expecting Xplane12 footage but hopefully some kind of direction made clearer in terms of what tech they are working on.

Hi all, Well, after owning XP11 for a year now, I finally bought my first aircraft for it - the Flight Factor A350. I am generally familiar with the A32x and A33x workflow and procedures as I fly FSLabs A32x series and Aerosoft 330 in P3D v5 as well as the FBW 320Neo on MSFS, but considering the Flight Factor 350 is the ONLY 350 we have for any sim at the moment, I felt it was time to invest into that and also get my feet wet with payware aircraft for XPlane as I am exploring it a bit more right now (I am not into sim wars and am very happy to have all 3 major simulators installed in their most current iteration)... I am finding the learning curve with t…

I mean, if you had to name just one ! I'll say it's still the Toliss A319 in my case BUT! I never bought the X-Aviation / LES SaaB, nor the iXEG 737, both potential winners, so...
