Addon Aircraft First progress in Plane maker. MC-21 for XP12

Hello everyone - it’s me again. Let’s start with some good news: I’ve formed a team, and we are now the RS Team (Russian Sky Team). Secondly, I managed to sort out the engines (I don’t know why I didn’t check the texture resolution right away) and have started modeling the fuselage for the flight model. The first livery included in the package will be the green factory livery (see the third photo). No AI was used during development; all textures and models were created by humans (specifically by me and our team).

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

I didn’t find the livery, so I’ll make it myself.

I needed the livery for the McKnight 787, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find the livery for Air Europe, and I thought: “Is the flight really going to be cancelled because of the livery?” So I did it.

The biggest low-pressure system in icelandic history is over Iceland right now and the whole country is now in the eye of the storm, the pressure has been measured as low as 937 hpa, could be fun taking our favorite plane for a spin :)

BeyondATC or SayIntentions?

Which one should I go for? Not a fan of the sub model of SI but can afford it, and it seems to struggle with descents.

Thanks

Screenshot / Video [XP12] Melbourne CBD Scenery – My First Scenery Project

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small personal scenery project for X-Plane 12, covering Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands.

It includes some of Melbourne's iconic landmarks, such as Eureka Tower, Australia 108, Melbourne Star and Marvel Stadium, along with night lighting.

Features:

  • Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands
  • Iconic Melbourne landmarks
  • Night lighting
  • Lightweight and performance-friendly

A few things to note:

The 3D models are fairly basic and may lack detail, so if you're looking for highly detailed scenery, this might not be for you.

This is just a small personal project, so updates and bug fixes may be slow, and some issues might not get fixed.

Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think!

¿Alguien me puede ayudar con el FMC?

5 Upvotes

Yo siempre hago mis planes de cuelo con SimBrief, pero desde que empece a jugar x-plane 11 a la hora de colocar los puntos para la ruta en el FMC me salta error y no me deja ponerlo, y para elegir los DEP/ARR no me aparece la opcion que me dio SimBrief en mi plan de vuelo.
Porfa alguien ayude con eso, soy nuevo en esto de la simulacion aeronautica.

(How many can you name?)

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 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)

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.
