Tempted into buying Xplane 11 - Uh!

It's the way flightsims work these days... Look at mfs, relesased 2 yrs ago and far from finished or stable.

No problem with that because a simulator not being closed for further development / refinement is actually a plus !

Really. Few month maybe to get worst bugs ironed out. Not years. They certainly wouldnt release it if it was that bad.

small EA games/sims on Steam are years in EA, i hope you're right👍wasn't XP11 a few years in EA/Beta?

I'm going to have to do something like that as my request has been refused!!    4 hours of fiddling about with 2 reinstalls goes over their limit apparently.

So I'm back to square one.  

refund window is under 2hrs👍Steam won't refund you now

You can get refunds beyond that window on some occasions if there's technical issues that didn't allow you to start a product, perhaps widespread issues that are recognized. Sometimes people have gotten refunds after 10+ hours if the product was plagued with issues.

very rare to get a refund after 10hrs but i hope rog943 is successfull🙏👍🙂 i'm on Steam over 11years and was never successful in 2hrs+ refunds😥😁

The way they advised me seemed to ignore my explanation and just quoted that 4 hours was over the limit.  As you all know 4 hours can fly by chasing a petty issue.

I will say though that this should be a stable FS - been around for years - and does not behave in a way that makes me think ooh, can't wait for 12.  I can and will.

If anyone is interested I am still getting nowhere with the calibration issue with the trimwheel.   Using the alternative - a button on the yoke - doesn't either.  It just gets worse.

Grrr.  (A fairly quiet and tired grr as I have MSFS and FSX and they work better).

Are you following all the calibration steps during the calibration process?

[rog943 14]

Hi Murmur,

Sorry not to get back to you especially as you were trying to help.  

I carried on experimenting but got nowhere and yes I am following the steps.  In the end the situation is that the red band goes blue when I move the trim wheel fully and I named the axis 'Trim Wheel'.  The blue button remains unavailable but the wheel works!

Because I have other problems with it I have decided to try to get a solution on the other site dedicated to Xplane so thanks for your interest.  I hope I can get it sorted.

Hi Rog943,

Rather than use the request refund option, you can send a special request email and explain in detail why you'd like a refund, and many folk have had success with that outside of the 2 hour limit

Nope, XP11 public beta was released end of November 2016 and went official at the end of March 2017. Four months. 

I have a feeling this time it will take a bit longer though.
