The X-Plane General Discussions Forum

Hey Folks, I think this is a recurrent topic but please bear with me. I have done two things to improve cockpit shadows in XP-11.41: 1) Tweaked the settings.txt as explained here 2) Added the "Jagged Shadow Fix" Lua script But still, I get things like this: (static image is not nearly as horrible as watching those stairs moving around, it's truly terrifying...) My question now is: what the hell? At this point this must be an X-Plane bug...

Hi Everybody I have couple trouble with AA settings. Number 1 is ; Normally I use 4xSSAA+FXAA. But I tried to 2xSSAA+FXAA. I did not notice any quality decrease in cocpit and also outside. Fps also same when sitting on ground but while flying cloudy air 2xSSAA+FXAA give me almost 20 fps more. So if we consider XPlane cloud system is fps killer it is logical to use 2xSSAA+FXAA rather then 4xSSAA+FXAA because it gives same visual quality at least for me. My question is is there any differance which I did not aware of it? M…

For those interested, its finally out.

Anyone using one of these with X-plane ? https://derekspearedesigns.com/dsd-flight---flt1flt2.html The encoders but also the switches (rockers) send pulses - I'm finding that sometimes they don't get picked up by X-plane 11.41 - trying to figure out if I can adjust something to make the switches and buttons work 100% - it varies - but a the moment I'm missing anywhere from 1 in 10 to more when mapped to various controls EDIT: Derek kindly provided a utility to change the functionality of the rockers to be plain on / off switches (which would lend itself better to Linda which has a release state function than X-plane which doesn't seem to / the same utility also t…

!! B 10 is out!!

I'd like to choose the best one from out of the following: 1. Citation II S550 2. FA50 (Falcon 50) 3. Premier 390 1A Will any of these work well while flying manual approaches with using flight director as guidance (with a/p off) on LPV approach and suedo Glideslope? If they all will do this then which of them has the least amount of known issues out of the box as of this date, generally speaking? Thanks!

So far I've found "SAM WorldJetways" and "Ground Handling Deluxe by JarDesign" - is that pretty much it at the moment for GSX-like functionality in X-Plane 11 ?

Recently updated GPU from 1070 to 2070S. I ran furmark on it and it did fine. I can play other intense games on Steam. When I load up XP11 it will lock up the system. Happens right at end of loading . it made it a couple times to loading the AC but soon locked up afterwards. Did a clean install on drivers to no avail. Same occurs on P3D v5 also. Power supply is 750 Watts. Like I said I ran furmark which stresses the card but it handled that fine.was wondering if there was something to do in XP11 with settings.

Does the HUD in X-Plane 11.50 have a brightness setting so it can be scene in the daytime? It is super dim.

Does two of this addons make significant differences in Southeast Asia region? Im going to fly around Papua and Java, Indonesia.

Hi pilots, I‘m looking for your recommendations on a STOL aircraft, to visit places like Saba and St Barts. What I own is the DHC6, not bad but I try to limit my virtual flying to top notch aircraft. How is the Kodiak by Thandra? Or should I wait for the TorqueSim Islander to be released? Any others? Many thanks in advance.

Laminar disabled it, for they stated, it was causing too many user-installed crashes...and skewing CTD reports. To enable it once more to run inside B6: Create a ShortCut of the XP11.50.exe file You can manually enable it by tweaking the shortcut."Yourdrive\X-Plane 11\X-Plane.exe" -allow_reshade Note the space between the " and the -If you miss that it won't work. Press APPLY and now use the ShortCut to start up XP11.50B6

Hi, I am trying to learn air craft painting for X plane 11. I modified the painting on fuselage using the .dds file in object folder using photoshop and saved. After finishing my paint I get a greenish colured paint and not the designed one. Am I doing somethings wrong. Extremely thankful if you could help. I have attached the picture Regards R

This looks interesting: https://fselite.net/news/sam-worldjetways-for-x-plane-11-released/ We tubeliner jockeys apparently get jetways on all default airports (like SODE+GSX on P3D) Looking for opinions, anyone tried it yet? Thx

Hello, i have a plan to buy this addon. but it is good for bush flying? im going to operate in papua with small airstrip, grass runway , high altitude airport etc. I know theres other bush aircraft like Twin Otter , pc-6 that more suitable with bush operation but i prefer this addon because theres Synthetic Vision on it for helping me flying between mountainoius region. Thank you. Dray

Hi, Can anyone please explain to me how X-Plane's navaids work with the navaid data? I am confused about the relation between the X-Plane's data, external data (Navigraph), X-Plane's art objects and the actual location of the navaid inside the sim. I am specifically concerned about ILSs and VORs. While editing some airports using WED, I found some ILS localizers that are not placed at the correct location (completely shifted from the runway centerline). I know that shifted localizers exist, but that is not the case here. I validated the coordinates of the localizer antenna from official publications and satellite imagery. Mind you, this is not a small shift - th…

Hi, I need an help to choose my new monitor. I have two good offer for these 2: - SAMSUNG LU32R591CWU - Monitor (32 ", UHD 4K, 60 Hz, ) https://www.samsung.com/es/monitors/lu32r591cwu/ Philips 34" WHFD 2.560 x 1.080 75 Hz* - https://www.interdiscount.ch/it/computer-e-giochi/pc-e-monitor/monitor--c515000/philips-b-line-342b1c-34-2560-x-1080--p0002025987 I use track ir and probably will buy FS2020.... What's your choice ?

This seems very useful however I fail to install it. Anybody knows how its done? https://github.com/skiselkov/StopZoomingDammit

Hello, If I put excludes over a gateway airfield, will they still be of use if the airfield is up-dated in gateway? The reason I ask is that as a "flat earther" I prefer to use just ortho scenery and nothing else, I know, but hey, that's my choice! What's the best way of achieving this please? Many thanks Phil

Gentlemen, I noticed that on a couple of my last flights, the scenery does not correctly load after descent from a cruise at FL330 or so. This is very noticeable at night because the roads don't light up, very annoying and frustrating. After landing, if I quit and reload X-Plane on the same position, it works fine. Here are some screenshots on final approach of LEMD runway 18L: This one is at the end of a flight from GCTS at FL340: This one after reloading X-Plane and placing on the same approximate position: Also note how the load on the GPU on both images seems to be about the same yet in the first one there is much less visual …

It says X-Vision. What preset should I try?

I am using Xplane11.50b9 demo version. It was working fine but I put an X-life plugin into it to create traffic at the airport as well as air. For that an Open Scenery was used as an extra scenery pack. But when I faced problems like crashes and all I removed the whole plugin. And after that I just updated Xplane using the installer to fix if there is any file is modified. But after that also the Scenery including demo area is having a problem. Even global airports are also not working. So when I contacted Xplane Support they asked me to delete the "preference" sub folder from output folder. After that also its just crashing. When I searched the log I saw an unusual …

Still no sign of a fix for blurry ground textures. I hope this issue is addressed ASAP. I'm looking forward to moving up to Vulkan so that I can take advantage of the enhanced performance. Beta 9 XPD-10617 Regenerate icon crash fixes again and again and again. XPD-10766, XPD-10721 Vulkan Not Loading – failed to initialize. XPD-10769 Multi color flashing aircraft. XPD-10798 TKS surface dataref is wrong in readout, but works when writing. XPD-10802 Datarefs added: XPD-10806 Crash opening VRAM profiler. XPD-10808 Fixed deleting and rebuilding plugin layers at async reload. XPD-10809 No longer drawing AI …

Hey guys, Another quick question if you dont mind, running the zibo 737. Just come from the pmdg p3d series to try x plane and loving it so far. i seem to think im doing everything right from takeoff to final approach the same as i did in p3d, however in p3d i used to come in at 90 degrees from the localiser/ Gs and it captured with no problem and ils was possible, however with the zibo im having troubles with the same 90 degree approach lets say at 2000ft , the loc symbol goes green on the pfa but for some reason the A/C turns the opposite direction and flies its own course. ive read to tick the checkbox disable downwind ils or so made no diff so i unchecked …
