X-Plane 11 General Discussion

Hello, By popular demand we are organizing a nice event again this year, included a fine contest: Around the World in Eighty Days with Aerosoft Here you can find more information: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/1128-around-the-world-in-eighty-days-dec-23-march-24/ and https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/168805-welcome-to-around-the-world-in-eighty-day-with-aerosoft-read-this-first-please/ The goal is again to fly the route in the given time and to keep a diary and post it.... The simulator does not matter. Also the plane can be chosen freely. You can find the rules here: …

Hello, due to some user questions and support tickets: With the new X-Plane 11.50 Beta there can be problems with certain addons and plugins when you turn on Vulkan. Here is a list of Laminar Research with addons / plugins that could cause problems. In order to avoid that, it only helps to go back to OpenGL. Or better go back to X-Plane 11.41. Link to the list of potentially problematic add-ons / plugins with Vulkan: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-50-release-notes/#Known_Addon_Issues Some developers (e.g. for SkyMaxx) have already responded and released new versions. Other developers will surely wait, b…

Hi Guys, Unfortunately, I realize that it is becoming difficult to keep this X-Plane forum structured and clear. Of course, I always try to fix "misplacement" of misplaced topic titles or posts, but it does not always work. This forum is not small anymore. In any case, I would be happy if everyone is working to keep our forum clear and concise. So first look at the forum structure (we have for example a German and an English X-Plane forum), and then post in the right place or create a new topic in the right place.... And please look at the language. Please post a question only at one place. And don't use a Topic from another …

Hello I have XP11 but cant get my flight yoke and rudder pedals to work. Has anyone experience with Turtle Beach Velocity One gear and how to get it to work on XP11. Will be very much appreciated as I have also XP10 but my DVD drive has managed to damage some of my discs and now can't load it BUT the Velocity One did work on XP10. So at the moment all I can access is the demo version of X Plane

The issue is described in the following video: If you have the same issue or a solution please write a comment. THX, berndgz

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some advice on flight simulators. I've been a fan of X-Plane for a while, starting with X-Plane 10 and now enjoying X-Plane 11 on my PC. It's been a great experience, but I'm looking for something new to spice things up. I've had a positive experience with dofreality, and it was pretty impressive. However, I'm not in a hurry to purchase it just yet. So, what other flight simulators would you recommend for someone seeking new and exciting experiences? What do you like about your favorite simulator? Looking forward to your suggestions!

Hi, I see in my orders list that x-plane 11 is disabled to download. I don't understand !? Can you explain me ? Thanks.

Hello. I registered to download the Antarctica4XPlane scenery however I am unable to begin the download. I have attempted to download all of the parts but none of the links are working. I have been able to download other files such as liveries and other sceneries but not this specific scenery. So I posted this here to point this out and hopefully it may be corrected by either the author of the scenery or the site administrator. Thanks. Edit: So I have figured out (2 minutes after making this post) that right-clicking and using 'Save link as' works, however my browser (Brave) does tell me it's a malicious file and that I shouldn't download it, I …

Hello, I got an interesting info from Mario Donick here, which I would like to share with you. Mario was there for a while as an X-Plane 11 supporter to support me. Here is his information concerning a moving simulator of the C42 with X-Plane 11 pro version: --------------------------- Hello dear Aerosoft friends I would like to inform you about an exciting X-Plane project that will be presented at AERO 2022 in Friedrichshafen. The flight school and Comco distributor FunFlight GmbH will present at AERO the prototype of a life-size C42 simulator they are developing together with Comco-Ikarus. The simulator is based on a C42 air…

Hello, the seven small Santa's and I wish you all here a few happy holidays and then later of course a happy new year 2022. It will certainly be interesting (... X-Plane 12 is approaching ...) Greets your heinz

Hello as per title I'm moving my build from old LGA 1150 ATX format to more transportable LGA 1200 mini-ITX (you may say this change was over-due) new hardware arrives tomorrow I have Aerosoft's boxed XP11 dvd set and JustFlight's PA-28+REP bought from Aerosoft's online store (btw out of topic, but I cannot seem to crank the engine right with REP on. Otherwise great aircraft) Without telling me exactly where the keys bind in the hardware I'm telling you I'm changing basically everything (mobo, CPU, ram) saving only the SSDs (including the XP installation one) and the GPU What do I need to do? Awaiting a response in a ti…

I need help downloading the planes that I bought on Aerosoft. I click on the link and I don't know what to do after that. Can someone show me how to download the planes?

Hello folks, this year 2020 is and was special. And still we have discussed, announced, noticed, solved a lot here in the forum.... We have dealt with error messages and problem reports. We have simply discussed facts or asked questions.... All of us here have been friendly and objective as always, despite the special circumstances. It's fun to work here I am glad to have such a good community for our sim X-Plane here.... And I hope you all are doing well, as far as it is possible with the problems our Earth is having with us right now.... I wish you all a peaceful and wonderful Christmas and a good transition into the New Year. …

I have the box x-plane 11 (dvd). Am I entitled to a digital download? (Why?: I would like to download x-plane11, because I dont want to keep changing DVDs). I bought the dvds 2 years ago.

Hi! I need a second x-plane installation, version 11.41 or earlier (because x-life airport editor does not work with x-plane version 11.50). I have installed as second installation my boxed version 11.00. is it possible to update this version to 11.41 (or earlier)? The updater allows to update to 11.50, only. Thanks for any answer and kind regards Horst

Hello, here an interesting article (also for PC users) about the ARM M1 chip (Apple). It seems to be very fast.... and will probably be supported by X-Plane 11+ in the future... https://developer.x-plane.com/2020/11/arm-macs/ Greeting Heinz

Good Afternoon, I purchased X Plan 11 (DVD PACK) However, after updating my motherboard, hard drive and graphics card I am unable to re-load all of the disks. The X-Plane Installer.exe installs from the first disk, then disk 2, however disk 3 will not load or install. I have tried to download the electronic software version from your site, but it will not let me enter the Key numbers, I'm assuming that I need a different Key, as the blank boxes take up more then the key number that cam with the DVD's. Please can you help. I have not included the Key numbers for obvious reasons, but I am more then happy to send via email so you can confirm. My email addres…

I have installed the disk set on my c drive which is an SSD and I am still left with 87 GB free. Am running Windows 10 and have 16 GB memory. My Thrustmaster stick is recognised. Cessna veers to port and throttle and instruments do not respond. I do not seem to have been asked for my Registration key. I did re-enter Disk 1 when installation was complete. Help please!

Greetings! Is there a complete description of the default LR X-Plane FMC available? I've read the FMC manual at https://x-plane.com/manuals/FMS_Manual.pdf However there are several questions left, like: 1) How do I activate an arbitrary leg of an active fplan? 2) How does the SEQUENCE 'AUTO/INHIBIT' function work? 3) Button HOLD Any hint would be very much appreciated.
