Aircraft Addons with XP10 and XP11 versions (.acf files)

[Heinz Flichtbeil 1609]

Hello,

 

If you load a XP10 acf file (addon) with X-Plane 11 you may get an error message like "ACF file is incompatible with X-Plane 11 ..."

This could be the reason:

 

At the time (of this post) many aircraft addons are delivered for X-Plane 10 and 11.
That is why there are 2 versions in the respective Aircraft directory of the installed aircraft.
With X-Plane 11, you must load the XP11 version.
You can see this in the X-Plane 11 aircraft selection menu by clicking "Customize" in the small aircraft image.
Then look below the acf file to be loaded. It must be for X-Plane 11 "<Aircraftname>_xp11.acf".
The <Aircraftname>.acf only works with X-Plane 10.

 

For example with the A350 XWB see the screenshot. Folder: <your installed x-plane folder>/aircraft/Airbus A350/

 

If you do not want to have both versions displayed in X-Plane 11, you can remove the "<Aircraftname>.acf" file from the X-Plane 11 aircraft folder of the aircraft.

 

ATTENTION: With the newest A350 XWB (v1.5.2+) there is only one acf file for XP11 included. So the actual A350 XWB is not compatible with X-Plane 1o anymore. It is XP11 ONLY!.
