Do any of the settings in ActiveSky XP12 interfere with this fine piece(s) of work?

Which map are you using for your primary map in the paid version?

I'm another one who likes KOSP for Toliss a/c. What sold me on KOSP over BSS & Mango was the engine spool up sounds, particularly on the NEO versions.

Unfortunately, that method only works for the more recent graphics cards. Not available with my 2060. I would use lossless scaling should the need ever occur. So far, I haven't seen a need to make the purchase for LS.

If it were me, I'd go with P3Dv5.4. I did in the past and never regretted it.

That's great news, Ray. I believe Radar Contact 4 should hold a spot in the Flight Simulator Addons Hall of Fame, should this exist. Thanks for your tireless support & helping fellow pilots access, install & enjoy RC4!

I've been flight siming since 1985 (wow, I just realized - 40 years & going strong). I prefer study level (or close) airliners, live weather and airline routes. I fly for a virtual airline to help keep me motivated. My oncologist thinks my level of involvement in flight siming is a definite benefit for my overall health and quality of life. He is actually encouraging me to keep it up, and thankfully, my wife was with me for that Dr. visit and heard him say so. 😀

Once you create a flight plan with Simbrief, you can always save it and each time you want to use for a different a/c, it is available, open saved flight, change the aircraft and generate the new flight with which ever aircraft you choose. That is a pretty simple method, imho. I always prefer Simbrief over LNM because it suits my needs better and my VA uses it. Also, it is easy to download into my various a/c MCDUs. Just my $0.02, of course.

I just recently purchased KEVV and have checked it out but not flown into it as of yet. I plan on doing so in the near future with a flight from my VA - TDV. Thanks for posting, it is definitely worth the $, imho. Clear skies and the green side down.

What version of xpuipc are you using, Bruno?

I find it odd that JustFlight does not reference this newer version of XPUIPC for XP12. Thanks for the links. It's great to see that someone has taken xpuipc and are striving to keep it compatible with XP12. This could be a game changer because Pilot2ATC also requires XPUIPC and now, perhaps I can finally check it out.

It's a shame they use/require xpuipc for monitoring conditions in XP. I tend to have issues where xpuipc conflicts with & sometimes causes issues & ctd and have removed it some months back. No problems since, so I guess "Fly the Line - Short Haul Edition" will be a no go for me. Ymmv. Edited to add: I don't think XPUIPC is really compatible with XP12. Their latest version - 2.0.3.8 only appears to be compatible with XP9-11. I also don't think they (schiratti.com) are still developing XPUIPC, as far as I can tell. So this is a real head scratcher for me, why a new product requiring an old app/plugin whose compatibility with XP12 is questionable? Fly the Line - Short Haul Edition looks very interesting. Pity, for me, though.

There are both options in the Options > Simulator Depiction Options & select from this dropdown menu (XP12 version).

I'm still using AS XP12. I don't notice or pay attention to transition changes. Only every once in a while will I notice a sudden change but it's over with before I know it, so to me it's not a big deal. I'm running hybrid depiction mode and with XP12.2, I'm seeing some wonderful cloud formations. Looking forward to the api improvements Damian mentioned above. I'm very happy that they (HIFI) are still actively supporting XP!

I was reluctant until a few days ago. Definitely glad I didn't wait any longer. Highly recommend updating.

32" Samsung LED tv. Smaller one is a 24" ACER monitor that I use for my procedures/checklists, ActiveSky XP12, smartCARS3 and any other necessary apps for quick access/viewing.

It's been a while since I've dealt with P3Dv5.4 addons et al. However, one essential item (imho) that you should consider using in this regard is Lorby's Addon Organizer. Others, I'm sure, will come to your assistance shortly and give you a more precise answer. In the meantime, please do check the Addon Organizer out. It's free, by the way.

Nope. I was using the Thrustmaster T16000M but wanted the yoke and it works just as well, maybe a tad better with the buses, imho. That's my take anyway.

Well, that would be sometime way down the road. My Thrustmaster pedals are working fine. I changed to heavier tension springs for better feel/control, so hopefully it will last a long time. 😉

I've been busy of late upgrading my flight sim rig. I had a catastrophic C:\ drive failure which resulted in getting a better motherboard & cpu from my youngest son. I also had to upgrade the ram to ddr4. Added a 2tb ssd for c:\ drive. Full pc specs in my sig. Once I got it up and running, then came the reinstall of a lot of items and finally testing and started flying again. However, I kept looking at the Honeycomb Alpha yoke. My last yoke was the CH Products Yoke with the 9 or so pin game style plug that connected to the old sound cards (sound blaster & turtle beach). I've been using joystick/HOTAS style hardware for many years and wanted to get a yoke again for better small control inputs and felt they help with flare on landings, at least for me. Anyway, I got the Alpha and have been so pleased that I decided I needed the Bravo TQ to make my enjoyment even greater. Boy did it! Two of the best purchases I've made in all my 40 flight simming years. So, I thought I'd show my fellow XP12 pilots a shot of my flight sim setup, not the greatest but not the least either, and the main thing - it gets the job done well enough for me:

Glad to see another airport for XP12. Very nice, on my "to purchase" list.

I missed that one, also. Thanks for posting. MisterX produces some very high quality freeware airport scenery. Better than a lot of payware, imho. To me, these are must haves.

They have their own forum for global forests. In the support sub-forum is a thread on proper layering: https://www.global-forests.com/forum/global-forests-v2-support You need to register to access the forum. I have "enable 3D vegetation" checked in the graphics settings section. Can't help with Enhanced Scenery Pro, as I don't use it. I have "vegetation density" slider set on High, because my system is bottom tier, and it works well, no noticeable performance degradation. Your system should be able to cope with Max, but you should test and see which offers best results. Overall, I really like the combination of SimHeaven X-World & Global Forests v2. Hope this helps.

Typo in my above post - should be JF Arrow III, not II. For some reason, I don't have the edit option available in my post above. Do we lose this option after so many hours? Clear skies!

Ryan, I was able to get a short flight in with World Vegetation 2 active and the pattern was not noticeable. I think WV2 offers much better overall tree placement as well as better textures/tree selection appropriate for the region. I did not notice too much of a performance impact this time, at least in the JF Arrow II. I am going to leave WV2 active until any issues with performance force me to do otherwise. Hope you consider WV2. Clear skies.
