Bind a key or button to "operation/Freeze the ground speed of the simulation" then press it.

After release they provided hotfixes at the speed of M0.75 but then it suddenly stalled - the last 1.0.7 update was in June. According to thread at X-Pilot forums team should resume work this month. At this point you need to be careful with FMC and set up everything in correct order, otherwise chances are high you'll see Gizmo "soft error" or VNAV issues. The current count of acknowledged bugs on the forums is 1917. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I have to admit i've never been a fan of and get the idea behind streaming. Everytime i watch a random flightsim stream i have a hard time believing what my eyes are seeing. Majority don't care if they bust flap speeds, fly unstabilized approach or do a barrel roll in 747 on final. What counts most is the amount of subs and donations. Yet, i hope it's not representative of an average flight simmer For me flight sims have always been source of satisfaction. Entertainment factor is a "side effect". Think that's why we call them simulators, not games right? If it wasn't for these selected few developers who came up with more and more complex, realistic add-ons, simming would become boring too soon and i would have never ended up in real aviation, propably ... To make matters worse, my previous job was in computers (still coding in my free time for fun). This makes my evaluation of every new payware add-on i buy and install very instant and strict. Usually if i don't find anything out of place or buggy in the first 5 minutes, chances are high it's an exceptional add-on (wish it would happen more often!) Seeing how much praise good developers (minority) get on the forums i think it's not all lost yet. The key - in my humble opinion - is for the customers/reviewers to call a spade a spade.

I totally agree with you, ayousry. I have been simming for about 24 years now and totally converted to X-Plane 5 years ago. I can't go back to FS now because of the flightmodel and the overall "feel of flight" (also as you mentioned sloped runways etc.). On the other hand i feel sick looking at x-plane payware developers. Apart from very few exceptions (IXEG, LES, PMDG, Simcoders) - this will sound harsh to many - i consider majority of them SCAM. They build the hype, release very buggy/unfinished products, do not provide enough (if any) support. And then same developer months later announce another super-realistic airliner that gets released under the same "business model" as before (get the money and basically disappear). The reviews are praising them on release, as if none of the reviewers ever read any POH (with understanding) in their life. I'm sure many will disagree with me and jump in to defend their developer of choice. But that's the way i see it and i finally had to let it out. I have tons of payware aircraft addons laying on my HDD that i don't even bother to install anymore...

Thanks for your help! Submitted bug report to LR. Thanks Manuel! I guess this is one of the most peculiar X-Plane bugs i've seen to date Was a pain to track down in a complex X-Plane installation full of 3rd party stuff ...

Thanks Murmur, what's your OS?

Ouch! Spent 3 hours trying to figure out what's going on with my X-Plane installation. Whenever i selected Aircraft->Open aircraft my X-Plane would crash. So i started moving every plug-in, one by one, deleting preferences, even moving out gigabytes of add-on sceneries and add-on aircraft out of main X-Plane directory to narrow the issue. Then i installed vanilla X-Plane on another drive, compared folders, disabled Windows Defender etc. I'm shocked to see what turned out to be the problem... Some time ago i've created directory inside X-Plane to backup some stuff before i made minor changes. The directory name i chose was "1" (don't ask, early 90s habit from MS-DOS). I can reproduce this every time on my PC, be it 10.45 or 10.50rc3. Can you guys please try this out on your X-Plane installation? Every platform is welcome (Windows / MacOS / Linux) - i want to make sure it's not something else playing on my PC before i report this as a bug to LR. 1. create empty folder named "1" inside your main X-Plane directory 2. start X-Plane 3. select Aircraft -> Open aircraft My pure guess is that it's a bug in folder parsing code inside X-Plane... EDIT: in fact the folder name needs to just have single character as a name, be it '2', '8', 'a', 'c', 'z' etc. If you have "QuickFlight Setup" active (where you can select aircraft and location on startup) your X-Plane will crash when loading, shortly after "Will init world..."

Exactly! It's driving me nuts flying online with real weather (FSGRW+SMP+RWC). Very often (at least here in Europe) METARs report variable winds, but X-Plane wants to kill me instead with something very close to windshear...

Thanks Cameron! Running the same resolution on 980 (not Ti) i'm eager to upgrade to 1080 once non-reference cards will become available again (late July / early August IIRC).

Children's day

Looks like it's not going to be released on 1 June in Europe...

Must be the reason for Mac version being cheaper :wink:

I'm considering replacing my 980 with 1080 because i hit VRAM limit too often. Would love to see some reports about 1080 with X-Plane.

IXEG, Felis Tu-154, PMDG DC-6 ... we've been waiting years for these and they all get released now
