  2. With the recent "jumps" out of the Stratosphere, I wonder if they're possible to replicate in X-Plane 11 ? I'd say Virgin Galactic could be designed for X-Plane, and, why not Bleu Origin ? - X-Plane allows for rocket propulsion after all, I just don't recall if there are detailled sources of thrust available in Plane-Maker ( Rocket- Maker might make sense in future versions ... hmmm, or UFO-Maker ! )

    I'm running X-plane 11.53 on my Mac. Littlenavmap was running fine before updating Littlenavmap and xpconnect. Now the LNM will not connect to the sim. Both LNM and XPConnect are running the same updated version number. Help!

  4. I am using x-plane 11 on Mac (Big Sur). I have an old MS Sidewinder joystick that I have modified to be a foot board for playing music. I want to use a MS force Feedback joystick with x-plane. My issue is that x-plane defaults to the old sidewinder and I cannot find a way of telling it to default to the force feedback; is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help; I'm just getting started with x-plane.

    So, finally yesterday I found the time to push XP11 into my new 1 TB NVme SDD 🙂 The GPU is still the good old GTX 960 GB, but this new rig with the Ryzen 5600X as well as the RAM ( quality and quantity = 32 GB ) plus the Motherboard itself, make a WHOLE lot of a difference... I am still not using other than the bland default scenery which, compared to MFS really leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm one of those who accept that in return for a quality FLIGHT simulation. I enabled HDR, the first level of AA ( one tick from full left ), Vulkan and tried with Medium and then High scenery ( # objects ) settings. Also, for the very first time, I enabled…

  6. Hi, I am a huge fan of 737 CL and it looks like IXEG 737 is the best 737 CL in any flight simulator. I've heard that it has several issues, but I really don't care at this point, all I want is a somewhat good 737 CL. However I don't have $75 (I live in Turkey and our currency is quite... weak / worthless, so even $75 is quite a lot for me) and most likely won't have for a while - I only have around $40-50, and I was curious if IXEG 737 ever gets discounted to that price before Black Friday. From what I've seen so far IXEG gets only discounted at Black Friday, which is still far away. Have IXEG 737 ever got discounted before Black Friday? Or should I wait un…

    With the 4th of July deals (on the .org) I found France VFR - TREE Factory XP. (Unfortunately the deals are over). I can’t describe how this changed the look of the sim for low and slow fliers like me. Almost every bush, tree and hedge is in place. The effect in combination with orthodox, even low resolution, is stunning. I already have xEurope installed but the coverage off this package is much more dense and adds a lot to the immersion. I think it is a must have if you fly often in one of the 5 regions in France. And LR should really also focus on this aspect of the world , well placed trees break repetition and the barren look of the landscape w…

    Hello everyone! I have my screen brightness at max on my monitor. The X-plane scenery is uniformly dull. On the other hand when fire up Prepar3d, the scenery is bright beautiful. On both simulators I have the weather set at clear skys. Is there some settings to brighten up the scenery in X-Plane 11? What am I missing? Please help.

    I hope you can help me. I have installed XPlane 11.50 again and have enabled the Vulkan option. The simulator is correct in terms of its FPS performance. The problem I have is that it is too dark, to the point that inside the cabin in broad daylight it seems to be night. I can't find a way to correct this or where should I configure it.

    1. Improve wind modeling and effects on FM. 2. Develop Pseudo-Ortho worldwide scenery that may not be 100% exact but looks real and let community fine tune it. 3. Let community fine tune cities and buildings starting from open street map. 4. Hire graphics contractors and assign them tasks to improve graphics, including all the visual glitches and lighting issues. 5. Make the engine optimized/multi-core. 6. Include Zibo 737 in XP12 and market 'advanced sim'. 7. Try and win some bigger contracts to have a better budget. 8. Make the offline ATC decent and useable. 9. New sky / volumetric clouds. 10.

    Not very often but, I used to play on Mars when it was included up to XP9... Would really welcome the Moon and Mars being included, and the possibility of flying orbital flights, and even flights from Earth into those destinations of the Future... It would be great if a considerable constellation of satellites could also be represented around Earth ... Expanding X-Plane again to the outer Space would be cool !

  14. As an equally futile topic that may distract attention from the battle between the usual suspects relating to 11.55R2 – currently top discussion on this forum and where sad people explore unknown paths and become hopelessly lost in their own egos – could we discuss widescreen monitors and video cards in a fruitless way? I very much want a Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9 curved monitor, which runs at 240Hz. It is described by reviewers (in layman’s terms) as the proverbial dog’s wedding tackle, and looks like a bargain at just under $3000 in my local New Zealand dollars. Do the maths on your own currency. But there is a catch. I have an Asus ROG 1080ti video card and …

    It was FSX and then P3D all the way for me until 18-24 months ago when I got tired of it and drifted away from flight simming. Then I bought MSFS 2020 and was impressed but my excitement was tempered its still-raw state and the limitations of my current system (i5-6600k/GTX 1060). So I thought about XP11 and downloaded the demo, played around with it was was impressed enough to pay for the full offering. I'm glad I did - partly because it's reignited my flight simming mojo and also because it's impressive in its own right. Straight away I saw a few things I liked...out-of-the-box scenery that's way ahead of P3D...3D objects everywhere...gorgeous night lighting (and …

  21. Jose has showed me some DC-6 Videos from PMDG in MSFS2020, and sent me some old ones from X-Plane 11, and I have to say... The DC-6 seems to have had a WAY better Flight Handling in X-Plane than it does right now in MSFS2020. DC-6 Flying like it is a Bobblehead in MSFS2020 Now in X-Plane DC-6, handling a 35knots Crosswind Gust, and still perfectly controllable and with predictable handling. I am fair when I need to be. This addon is FAR better in the X-Plane state than it is currently in MSFS2020, handling wise.
