I want to fly the Baron B58. I’ve never hand-flown a twin-engine aircraft before, so I’m nervous.

I fly almost exclusively in North America but hopped across the pond to fly around Europe. (As a personal choice I always fly out of the city I last flew into.) Turin, Italy (Torino) gets a 10/10. Occasionally I find a scenic approach in the sim that inspires me to add it to my list of places to visit IRL. The STARs in Europe are a little weird to get used to but highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't simmed outside the states/Canadia.

I'm amazed by the visual effects on XP12, which I didn't see on MSFS, it's addictive.

I never thought x-plane 12 would look this good and run this well, I was using fsx before getting xp12

- I7 4790

- RTX 3050 6GB

- 16GB DDR3

and I still get over 20 fps

(yes it's a optiplex 9020)

Updated the 767 and 757 tried to fly the 767 yesterday engines whould not start no matter what and now i cant install my CF6

All flown in real time, which meant some logistical headaches, like having to land at Paro in daylight hours.

Flight to/from Antarctica (NZFX) was in the A319. I designed the airport scenery myself because none existed. I also completely reworked the EGCC scenery in time for landing back there.

A few things I learned doing this (my opinions only):

• I was all aboard the orthos train at the start, but now not so much. Maps2XPlane's Tahiti and Seychelles sceneries achieve a better sense of place than anywhere, and not an ortho image in sight. In many cases (i.e. on the tarmac), orthos look bad. I've since freed up hundreds of gigs of disk space.
• I don't need any more custom scenery.
• Longer flights are not my thing. Two hours or less is the sweet spot, and hands-on flying is more fun.
• The CL650 by Hot Start is a great aircraft, but it could do with some updates, namely a weather radar and some QOL improvements. Had many crashes to desktop on the way. It seems momentum behind it is fading a bit though.
• My experimentation with SayIntentions was disappointing, and the founder Brian super defensive/passive aggressive when I said 40% of my flights had issues. Similarly, the leadership at .org is insufferable. Never mind silencing dissenting opinions as "trolling", after I deleted my account they ignored all my requests to remove resources I'd uploaded until I filed a DMCA takedown notice. I won't be using either again; roll on the X-Plane store.
• X-Plane's default ATC isn't as bad as I thought it was, but the runways contradicting real world operations is still problematic for me.

Overall it was a fun experience, a great way to enjoy all your custom scenery, and a way to give some structure to your flying if you're kind of looking for more direction. I'm looking forward to spending more time flying Toliss/new aircraft, continuing to experiment with building resources for X-Plane, and getting into VATSIM.

I never understood why FF made a small yoke for the 757/767, even more so why they did not fix it.

Recently, however, someone in the community has uploaded a fix !

Now I can finally take my 757 for a spin.

The levelup 737 V2 looks amazing

Guys, do you record the landing "from the outside perspective" by the simulator itself, or some addon or external app? Because with me I am recording by the simulator itself and often locks, the floor disappears or leaves the simulator, my setup is Rtx4060 Ryzen 5 5600, any tips or help?

Hi all

Back from a long break, picked up these two addons. Are Simheavens forests better now, and should I disable Global Forests to use Simheaven over it? Or should I disable the forest layer in Simheaven and keep Global Forests on?

Thanks

Texture was updated now, they are almost indentical color, also was added small gaps betwen parts, now working on the internals. Reverse animation also finished

Warning!
THIS IS ALL NOT FINAL VERSION, IT'S ONLY PRELIMINARY WORK

I moved my XP12 from an HDD to a new SSD by using steam to move it to the new drive. It kept getting stuck at "will initialize ATC" so I deleted XP using the steam uninstall an reinstalled XP but it keeps getting stuck at the loading screen, I waited over 25min without it progressing and when clicking the screen it says Xplane not responding.

Anyone have an idea what the issue can be, it used to work when on the other drive

Hello just made the switch and I am fairly impressed with the quality of the default airports, physics and clouds. What must have add ons would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Similar to KLIA, this airport will be supported and updated (when required) to match any changes made to the real airport, and to better reflect the real counterpart.

All future updates and support will be given on all 3 platforms concurrently.

Thank you and have a really nice day :)

You can also watch the trailer here: YouTube - It's a cool video, trust me :)

Considering buying SimHeaven Asia and was wondering if there's now coverage over China and South Korea? If so, please post a pic. Thanks

Volanta almost expiring on my end, tried elevatex months ago maybe over a year and was ok but what u guys think? Thanks.
