X-Plane 12: info for new and inexperienced X-Plane users

Featured Replies

Not only you can simply fly from A to B, but also you can have extensive failures*. This is a demo what happens with a jammed rudder. How can you escape this situation? Be advised, this plane hasn't a CAPS system. Don't do this at home or even IRL without professional advice (it can get dangerous), or with other commercially available general purpose sims (as it won't work).
* I assume, this extensive failures simulation is one important aspect that X-Plane is FAA certified.

Still no description of what to do? A pity. Maybe some help also from the experts from the "other" side? Can they please try in their sim how they would handle such a situation? Thanks a lot!

Are you trolling your own post?  So you start a post about X-Plane failures for no other purpose to talk about how they would handle this in another simulator?  That doesn't even make sense unless you are intentionally looking to provoke a flame war.  I mean, how would this be handled in real life I could understand as it's pertinent to X-Plane but how would you handle this in MSFS is for the MSFS forum.  

Stop with the passive aggressive baiting if you want to have a real conversation.  Also, does P3D not have this extensive failure system considering it is also FAA certified with the right Approved Hardware...   For that sake, MSFS has failure and also has a freeware add-on available to help randomize failures.  But here I thought your post was to help new users with X-Plane, I was so Naïve

Ermm, cool down! I detect some active aggressiveness. I find it's interesting how fast some users respond in a forum of a product they don't like at all. I for one would use my time using products I like, but well ... possibly that's only me. However, as they are lurking around in any case in this forum, I didn't want to create a new post. So - to stay on topic, no advice?

What Psolk said.

Nothing matters, but this rash of misleading posts is getting tiresome.

Thrilling! How many MSFS users are lurking around in the X-Plane forum ... I'd be interested, why? Are they feeling insecure?

Just because I called you out on your obvious baiting doesn't mean I don't use X-Plane at all.  That's a false assumption on your part.  I use all 3 sims, in all honesty predominantly P3D but that doesn't mean I'm not here because I don't ALSO like XP... 

I just find it odd that you responded to your own post about XP failures to bait MSFS users and caught someone intelligent enough to call out what you are doing who actually uses ALL 3 sims and doesn't have to be disparaging to users of another platform... 

Insecurity is having to start a passive aggressive post and then when no takes your bait coming back and showing your true colors then deflecting that insecurity onto others.
