Hints Tips Tutorials for X-Plane 11

Hello, if there are problems with the new OSX Catalina and X-Plane 11/12 like "Resources/rand.bin" file not found!

General information about the Custom Scenery Folder: In the X-Plane 10/11 main directory there is a folder called "Custom Scenery". In this folder resides the additionally sceneries. Some scenery are already included there (our Aerosoft airports, etc. ..). Next there is a file called scenery_packs.ini (or only scenery_packs). In this file, all in the Custon Scenery folder located scenery are registered. An example entry looks as follows: ... SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDDK Cologne/ SCENERY_PACK_DISABLED Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDDM Munich/ (not visible...) SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Aer…

Hello, In some cases it is a good idea to reset the preferences (for example after a big update) or if there are unclear problems: Close X-Plane 11 at first. Goto the X-Plane 11 Root folder, and find ...Output/preferences. (For STEAM users see here how to find the X-Plane 11 main folder: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/83728-faq-x-plane-10-steam-version/ ) In this (preferences) folder you find some files, beginning with X-Plane and ending with .prf Move this files out of the folder and save them to another location (so you can restore it, if something went wrong). In some cases it is a good idea, at first only to delete the f…

Hello, Here are a few hints and tips for the installation of X-Plane 11 (for Windows. For the Mac and for Linux, there are no big differences). The box comes with 9 DVD's. (8 DVD's for the simulator plus the "Global Scenery" and one DVD with the included airports. The installer is the same for both X-Plane 11 versions. It is on the DVD 1 or if you bought the download version in the respective shop account. You also can download it here: https://www.x-plane.com/desktop/try-it/older/ For later updates (also for the Box Version) an internet connection is required. If you have the download version, you need a key for the installation (to be f…

Hello, Many airplanes (and other addons) use the Microsoft C ++ Redistributables 64bit. These redistributables belong to Windows, but are not always installed. They must be subsequently installed: Please also install if they appear as already installed. Sometimes the libraries are broken. Then they will be repaired automatically. Here are the links to the most important C ++ 64bit Redistributables: 2010 (if available). For Windows 10. https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=13523 2013 https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784 2015 https://www.micros…

We sometimes get messages by users of our airport that the navigation frequencies seem to be wrong, for example a missing ILS with the 111.35 frequency in EDDF (Frankfurt). As a user, one might think that the scenery is broken or has a bug. The reason, however, is different (the following explanation applies in general, not just for the EDDF example). 1. From where does X-Plane take its navigation frequencies? ILS frequencies etc. are not part of the installed scenery, but taken from the installed navigation data, i.e. regardless of having installed a payware or freeware scenery of an airport, the frequencies are not taken from the actual sc…

Hi , if you have fps drops near on on runways , try to comment the ANIM_hide and ANIM_show lines in the anim blocks of airports objects files (.obj extension) having "ANIM_show 0 0 sim/weather/runway_friction" (dry weather) An example : Orbx EGLL PBE_EGLC_GP_SOIL01.obj (comment the lines in the other obj files files found too) ANIM_begin #ANIM_hide 1 2 sim/weather/runway_friction #ANIM_show 0 0 sim/weather/runway_friction ATTR_hard grass TRIS 0 2916 ANIM_end ANIM_begin and ANIM_end commands can be commented too, thought I found not necessa…

Hi , to have the radar animation working , replace the line ""TRIS 0 624" in object D8E20004_1.obj with : ANIM_begin ANIM_rotate_begin 0 1 0 sim/time/total_running_time_sec ANIM_rotate_key 0 0 ANIM_rotate_key 1.5 90.00020741 ANIM_keyframe_loop 6.0 ANIM_rotate_end TRIS 0 624 ANIM_end (the angle : 90.00020741 can be changed to 90)

Hallo in die Runde! Kurze Frage eines (noch) XP11-Anfängers: Ich fliege gerade die 747. Im ILS-Modus klappt der Landeanflug grundsätzlich auch gut; Loc und GS greifen ordnungsgemäß und leiten mich runter. Problem: Meine 747 hat während des Endanflugs eine starke Rückenlage, d.h. die Nase ist viel zu hoch. Ich lande daher oft nur mit den Hinterrädern, vorne senkt sich die Maschine gar nicht ab. Das führt zu Hüpfern, erneutem "Durchstarten" und ich muss sehr stark gegensteuern, damit sie auf der RW vorne unten bleibt. Ich lande mit Flaps full, Autobreaks und am Schluss mit ca. 145 kt. Bei ca. 100ft nehme ich den Schub vollständig raus. Auch den AP scha…

Hallo, ich habe basierend auf dem YouTube Video "FF Boeing 767/757 QuickStartGuide - Das Wesentliche in 45 Minuten von "Das Mörderkanninchen" eine schriftliche Anleitung verfasst. Dieses möchte ich hiermit heute zur Verfügung stellen. Die Nutzung dieser Anleitung setzt gute Grundkenntnisse im Fliegen mit X-Plane 11 voraus. Das Tutorial zeigt nur wie man schnell, einfach und sicher eine Boeing 757 von A nach B bringt. Alles weitere im Anhang. Dies ist mein erster Versuch eine Anleitung zu schreiben. Hinweise auf Fehler oder Verbesserungen nehme ich natürlich gerne entgegen. Based on the youTube video "FF Boeing 767/757 QuickStartGuide…

Hello, I am currently receiving many requests for the installation of EDDB v1.01 and especially for switching from BER to SFX and vice versa. Therefore here are some hints: (You don't have to do it with the new EDDB (BER) V 1.02+. Here BER is active and not changeable anymore). After downloading the zip file for Berlin Brandenburg, unzip them and open the folder AS_AIRPORT-BERLIN-BRANDENBURG_V1000_XPLANE. In it you will find the folder "Custom Scenery" and in it the airport folder "Limesim - EDDB Berlin Brandenburg". The folder "Limesim - EDDB Berlin Brandenburg" has to be copied into the Custom Scenery directory of the installed X-P…

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 o…
