Hi everyone. The only thing that I can see, that they did / improved on, is their Visuals, reflections in the puddles?... things I never actually cared for or seen in Real life. Does anyone else have a Total Active / On time of about 10:00 min? Look in your Main Directory, where X-Plane. exe is in for a file Log.txt, and at the end you should see something like state_ShuttingDown and the time. About 5 min of that is Load time and in actuality you only get about 5 min of actual use. They should reevaluate their priorities if they want to continue in the Sim World, at this point just about everyone I know will Not be purchasing it unless some serious improvements come along.

Hi. I predicted that this will be the result, after seeing the Assobo release. Get FSX, and or Xp11 and forget about these new releases. They actually manage to mess up the C172, Prop looks like a baseball bat being twirled around, no way to select the In cockpit view to see both Wing tips Top of cow cowl and full Instrument panel..... I have no idea what the customer base they are looking for? El Wannabe Capitanos that cannot hand fly their planes / pretenders. Useless as a tool for RW GA pilots. I do not see how this can be improved to be useful but I do hope. The other bunch will never be able to do it, they seem to lack the will and knowledge. I am glad I still have an FSX in an unopened box, it should last me a while, assuming I can keep installing it which is getting very difficult.

Hi everyone. > Not likely to happen , see my last paragraph. I've been in RW and SimW for many years. My first sim was before PC sims existed. I wrote my own Nav VOR, ADF sim on the Main frame, and Minis, before PC existed, had all the Micros sims, and many hundreds of hrs in the 6DOF C130. I've purchase just about every sim since they first showed up, toys / games and for Professional training and built my own 3DOF motion chairs..., created my own acft from scratch and modified many of the existing flight models to better approximate what I know to be more Real life like representation of the actual acft flight dynamics that I fly in Real World. In my opinion this is the absolute worse release that I've seen. When I first used it and did an approach into an airport that I fly into on a daily basis, I did not recognize it at all. The Tower was the wrong shape, there were trees and building.. where they should not have been, the Flight dynamics model was incorrect, even the numbers were off... I expected a lot from this sim, it had a good foundation and my hope was that they will continue to improve on that not turning it into a game / toy / scenery viewer that forces you to be on the Inet, and have MS smell your shorts every time you want to practice and or use the sim. Add to that the continuous forced on us, broken updates.. and you have a huge disappointment. I have no real hope for this to become a useful sim / tool, ever, and as long as I can use FSX and XP11 with my own scenery this will not be used and I do not recommend it to any serious aspiring pilot. There will be what I refer to as fanatics, pretenders, that will never listen to any constructive input and will try to discredit people that actually have the best intentions to improve everyone's experience including this sim.

Hi. Moinfo details for better help. What Jstick Make, model... Typically Rotation is NOT used for Throttle. Unless I am misunderstanding something as X axis should be used?

Hi. What Version B58, what display resolution... and XP do you have? I run in 4K 11.55.Rc1 with the B58 version below, see pic, I have an indicator, typically for TO is around Up 3. P acf/_file_writer_version 113601

How? What keys / buttons do you use? How close physically are the two controls to each other? I've never had that happen, but you may have more that one key / button assigned to the same function / Gear?

Hi. Did you try to create a Flight Plan and have it flown? I only used AI flight once and I do not know if it will work?

>>Where Is Blue Sky? Hi. There are many different procedures that yo can use you to get the colors you want in XP. Set the Weather in Menu>Flight>Flight Configuration>Weather to Visibility 100 clear. The simplest is after you start XP go to Menu(top line)>Developer>Show Sky color and try “hialt” Use the LUA and create your own Script, see my example below. Just Rename it, remove .txt, and place it in x:\...\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts folder, see procedure inside the file, and you can use it to also improve your Frame rate if you assign keys to the Increase Decrease LOD(Level Of Detail). See the pics, at KFUL in the cpit and Outside a view from above KSNA looking West at 2:22 Zulu Aug 11. Post here if you have more questions. LOD-Vivid-FPS-Fog13.lua.txt

Hi Grizz. If you have Mouse with the Wheel try and navigate to the area and use the wheel Up/Down. You can also do multiple clicks also. Make sure you turn Off Cinema Verite and your panel is stable / does not move. This has always been a problem and at some point, hopefully XP12, they will make it easier to Speech interface / control some of these inputs that can take many clicks / a long time to get done.

Hi. Col. is correct and I would use that as best answer. That said I do have a couple that I carried over from before 8 and they still work. One actually has a 3D cpit and the others are 2D only but I would try to see if they have some updated versions of the ones you want before I spend time with trying to port them using PlaneMaker.

Hi, You can find your .cfg in .....\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX and you can View / Edit it with any Text editor. I would just Rename it and try a new assignment/s?

Hi. 3D Pro works great I've had many of them and never had any problems. Do you have another controllers? Rudder pedals...? Make sure you only have one controller assigned to each function. Calibrate in Win 7 if no luck. Try to swap assignment temporarily, x to y... and make sure you set a large Null zone and see if it help?

Hi. I am not sure where you dloaded the acft but you need to confirm that it is XP9 compatible, not many new acft are, presently. Use the acft that came with XP9 or look for the ones that are compatible with that version. Post exact acft and location you got it from for better help. You can try to use the PlaneMaker in XP9 to try and port it but the success rate is very very low.

Hi. I am not familiar with that Video and it's vary likely that it will Not support Vulkan which is the preferred mode for XP11. You may want to ask the question on xplane.org site?

Hi. Dell Latitude e500?? Is it e5500? e500 Does not come up in Search. If 5500 there may Not be sufficient RAM for XPlane and the Graphics processor may not work either? Memory RAM 2 GB? Graphics Processor Intel GMA 4500MHD Do you know what Video card, and driver ver, you have? Did you update your Video driver? Some later vers seem to have some issues?

Hi. What specs? I have yet to see a PC, built within the last 5 years, unable run some version of XPlane. Try and dload the XP10 demo ver and see if that runs?

Hi. If you have an Android device you can use xConn.exe and Avare from Playstore or post here and I can tell you how to get a direct Dload, if you do not use Playstore like I do.

Hi. The default scenery in XP is not very good, as it pertains to streets buildings... but the Mesh (Altitudes..) is very good and the distant terrain looks right, but that has an easy fix, free app Ortho4XP will give you a much better scenery than you can get in the Assobo20, which does not deserve to have anything flight associated with it, is at best is scenery viewer, inaccurate at that also after they add all the trees, weeds... The cost is storage, which is not very expensive now and some time invested. All the Pilots, CFIs.. that I know have either stopped using it and or asked for the money to be returned, I do not think they have the knowledge / people to ever turn that around. No missions with default but there are free addon missions you can download. If you are serious about flying, and want to practice as close as possible to Real World, XPlane with Ortho, or you can buy some, and or FSX with addon scenery, or create your own with EarthTile? are your best bets. You also know you have a reliable sim, not depend on the Internet, and some external power that may or may not work. Post here if you have any questions.

Hi. I know that it can be overwhelming at the beginning, but it is actually very easy after you do it once. The best thing to do is do one tile with default setting, read the text I posted earlier, and do a tile, the worst that can happen is spend some time and have to delete some data that you do not want to keep. Just use All at once, just make sure you set area up and the location for your finished tile and the Global scenery path for the Overlay extraction otherwise you will not building, cars...

Hi. I am not sure what editing you want to do but typically any art editing is done outside, youtube may best to find info about it. For coastline editing look for a file Basic Guide for Reworking Ortho4XP Coastlines by David Erard.

Hi. It depends on the process you need. If you want to adjust the colors you do not need use Ortho, if you want to insert a higher resolution area, extract overlays.. you will need O4XP. Typically the thinking would be, in most cases you need O4XP but if you have to repeat some of the operations some of the data is already saved for you and you do not have to redownload. O4XP is smart enough to go use it until you delete that data.

Hi. No the Preview does not affect the finished tile, just the settings on the first page. I use ZL13 to preview. Yes, a finished tile can be edited for zoom areas but. to the best of my knowledge, not completely Off line. O4XP saves the Altitude and Images in a separate Folders and makes things easier / faster if you try to edit certain things later. Below is a quick Tutorial and some sources. After installing and starting the program, it suffices to do the following steps. · Select the Base folder on the main page. Just select your "Custom Scenery" folder. The program will put the output into that folder. It will create a single subdirectory for each tile that you create. · Select BI as image source and 16 or 17 as zoom level. · Select the "Global Scenery/X-Plane 11 Global Scenery" folder in the Settings / Tools as custom overlay folder. · Open the world map by clicking on the world icon. You can move the map with the right mouse button. Double click somewhere to select a tile. Shift click to make it a target for the built. · Check five boxes below "Batch build tiles" ("Assemble vector data", "Triangulate 3D mesh", "Draw water masks", "Build imagery/DSF", "Extract overlays"). · Click "Bach Build". · Alternatively, you can also use the buttons in the main window. · Check the output in the main window. · Create a link to the overlay directory in the program directory from the "Custom Scenery" folder. In Windows, you can just copy and create a link with the right mouse button. Alternatively, you can of course simple copy the complete folder. · Start X-Plane and close it. · Edit "Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini" with Notepad++ or another simple text Tutorial with less hassle: Other tutorials for Ortho4XP (extend this comment to see more): How to improve the water appearance: How to create multiple tiles at once: How to get perfect and smooth runway slopes: How to get sharper photoreal imagery when very close to the ground: GERMAN/DEUTSCHE Version meiner Ortho4XP Tutorials: Posts about Ortho https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/160109-naip-source-best-quality-usa-orthos/&tab=comments#comment-1525312 This tutorial will hopefully help you in getting NAIP setup for Ortho4XP.

Hi. You are welcome, Merry Christmas to you also. One more note, the ZL18 takes a lot of storage space, there are some tiles that I have around LAX that are over 50GB and takes about 5 times longer to generate, Try the ZL17 less than 10 GB, first and if you are not satisfied with the way it looks go foe ZL18, it takes about 17 min for my system for ZL17 and about 1Hr for ZL18. Post here if you need more help. For a better look around the mountains / steep slopes you may want to try this config: apt_smoothing_pix=8 road_level=1 road_banking_limit=0.5 lane_width=5.0 max_levelled_segs=100000 water_simplification=0.0 min_area=0.001 max_area=200.0 clean_bad_geometries=True mesh_zl=19 curvature_tol=0.5 apt_curv_tol=0.4 apt_curv_ext=0.5 coast_curv_tol=1.0 coast_curv_ext=0.5 limit_tris=0 hmin=0.0 min_angle=10.0 sea_smoothing_mode=zero water_smoothing=10 iterate=0 mask_zl=14 masks_width=100 masking_mode=rocks use_masks_for_inland=False imprint_masks_to_dds=False masks_use_DEM_too=False masks_custom_extent= cover_airports_with_highres=False cover_extent=1.0 cover_zl=18 ratio_water=0.25 overlay_lod=25000.0 sea_texture_blur=0.0 add_low_res_sea_ovl=False experimental_water=0 normal_map_strength=1.0 terrain_casts_shadows=True use_decal_on_terrain=True custom_dem=NED 1" (from USGS) - USA, Canada, Mexico fill_nodata=True default_website=GO2 default_zl=18

Hi. Yes, i am fairly certain that you can combine them. I only used the Ortho4XP tiles, which include the mesh / altitude information and you can extract the overlays / flat looking images of the buildings as seen from the space. Being a RW pilot I think that the best combination is Ortho image and Objects set to Medium. Using that setup I can look down and recognize many of the buildings, areas.. If you cover them up with a lot of trees, houses, W2XP with Maximum Objects setting you may as well just use the default scenery and just add some mesh and a lot / Maximum objects W2XP objects and they will cover everything making the Ortho photos irrelevant / useless in my opinion. You will gain a better, in some cases, mesh but you lose all the other benefits from the orthos like the writing on some buildings the actual 2D shape of the buildings.... For US low level flight I use GO2 ZL17, 18 and likely the best option until you get familiar with Ortho is to get the free Forkboy2 tiles which I found very acceptable / good.

Hi Mike. I just downloaded it and it has No VC you can see it from outside view. There is another one sleigxaj.zip and a gauge that shows Santa on the HI gauge that may work? I did not try them.
