    Hello, I tend to usually fly the microlight Aerolite 103 and I'm finding that I run out of fuel after about only 40 miles, I've checked in failures and cleared everything there, surely just 40 miles isn't correct, is it? Best Phil

    https://store.x-plane.org/VANS-RV-10_p_1156.html Saw this just released. I LOVED the old FSX RV7. I think the 10 is basically an upgrade from that one. Looks like there are plenty of avionics configs - although the Org screenshots do not do it justice. I am still on the fence.

    Anyone knows how to remove sun visors in the default King air C90b panel? They don't let a clear external vision and it seems they can't be moved around. Thanks in advance.

    The Honeycomb Hat switch has stopped working in Xplane. It seems that it happened after updating to 11:41. But not sure. The hat switch works fine in P3D v4.5. What could I be doing wrong. Thank You. Bill McCracken

    Since upgrading, I am finding taxing no way near as easy or accurate as with 11.0 with my G920 racing pedals. Is this due to the upgrade, or is there a setting I need to change ?

    On v11.41 the default setting for the 2 Avionic switches on the Honeycomb are: 5 : Avionics On 6 : Avionics Off 7 : Do Nothing 8 : Do Nothing In this configuration the top Garmin turns on and off with switched 5 & 6, but the bottom garmin is never switched on. What do I need to set buttons 7 & 8 to ? (Worked fine in V11.00 as there was BUS1 and BUS2 options to choose).

    Erroneously posted as "G1000". The Baron G530 will no longer invoke/drag, reinstalled no help. This function still works on Skyhawk G1000. Have not yet submitted bug report as I suspect I have done something to cause the problem but have no idea what it might be. Any ideas appreciated. Dave

  11. Hi, Updated to latest zibo, all other versions worked fine. Now as soon as I start engines the atc window begins flickering and I'm unable to select anything. I can get it back by disabling the xlua 1.0.0r1 in the plugins menu, but obviously this disables a bunch of other stuff including the zibo mods in the cockpit. I can also use the atc window if I pause it. I've rolled back to previous version and works fine. I narrowed it down to plugins/xlua/scripts/B738AXP_3_FMOD_commands lua file. If I remove this file, I don't have the problem, but I lose function of my saitek switch panel. If anyone has any ideas why this file is doing …

    Although having calibrated my Honeycomb several times, the 172 is all over the place from left to right and upside down. None of the other planes such as the Baron behave that way, they fly nice and straight. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? Thanks Bernd

  16. Can someone point out the proper way to update all of my tiles to hd mesh v4 ortho overlays? I did see the script on the web for updating but i couldnt get it to work right I then thought i could run the batch process from the map, painstakingly clicking on hundreds of tiles which i did.. skipping downloads.. but i'm thinking i needed to only do the overlay portion only (only check this on the batch), i think i checked off things like use existing mesh and build overlays.. My issue i ran into is that i basically lost a bunch of dds files, now xp wont load many of my airports (if not every one i botched).. So i'm wondering what the correct semi manual w…

    Hello, I am debating which one of these helicopters to purchase. Ideally would like a side by side comparison from folks who have flown both helos and provide who can provide general and in depth impressions. Looking for recommendations on which model has more immersion/realism. I understand both have had recent updates and both are about in the same price range. Thank you for the feedback!

  20. Hi everyone, I have the CH Pro Pedals & CH Products Flight Sim Yoke for X-Plane 11.41r1 (build 114100 64-bit). Every time I do a joystick configuration/calibration, it never saves upon exit. I have tried to ensure the default X-Plane folder is set to read/write instead of read only to no avail. I've disconnected, restart and reconnected my USB ports to no avail. I've tried saving in different profiles and that doesn't work. Each time I go back, the settings are still red instead of blue which is frustrating because I cannot fly properly. Help please?

    Hello all, I am really hoping to get some guidance here with this problem. I am unable to centre the yoke (roll) on my Saitek yoke in calibration mode. The output readings for Pitch is 0.5000-0.5000. In flight this is quite OK for roll outout is .0.1992-0.1996. In flight I roll dramatically to the left and to achieve level flight I am using the yoke fully right hand down and data output is reading roughly 0.3445 rudder is 1.0000-1.0000. In flight all is ok. I have read many topics on this one and all point to a hardware issue or a Windows10 software problem. Normally I would accept this, BUT, 1. P3Dv4.5 yoke operation is normal ... c…

  23. Hi, I'm from Paraguay. I'm interested of building a good simulator system that includes the airplane my government has. I'm refering to the T-35 "Pillan" who is manufactured in Chile by the ENAER. Who knows which company is the best to create the whole design of the airplane? Can I do it by myself? Because I have the airfoil maker, and the Plane Maker that X Plane brings along with the game. I have the Technical Information about the plane, too.
