Thanks for the guide Rob, a very informative read.

Very nice.

I have and use both, the plus side for me is with X-Plane performance is much better, I very rarely get stutters and I don't have to worry about OOM's which are a problem in P3d v3 (even though they happen less now than they did in previous versions), night lighting is also better (loads better), also there is loads of high quality freeware for X-plane that if you wanted the same quality in p3d you would have to pay for. Now the downsides of X-plane for me, the main one being the lack of study level airliners, I own PMDG's 737, 777 and Majestics's Q400 for p3d the only study level airliner for X-plane i'm aware of is IXEG 737 Classic, which unfortunately as great as it may be neither of the VA's I fly for use this aircraft so I don't use it. The other downside for X-plane is the weather rendering which I think is really poor and that with me owning SkyMaxx v3 and RWC.

Nice pics.

Very nice shot.

Officially it's not compatible with v3 but some guys have used EMT to get it working, there is word going round that they might be releasing a version for v3 this weekend at the Flight Simulator Convention in Weston-super-Mare. Damn I was too slow.

I am running at 55-60fps@3440x1440 frames drop down to 30fps with x-life that's on a [email protected] and GTX1080. Still tweaking my settings though.

Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't find them.

Active Sky Next.

That is great news, hope they agree as ES have done great sceneries.

Over a weekend Bryan? That's just cruel, what will my family think of me neglecting them for a bit of NGX flying. :smile:

Have the same problem.

Not yet I'm sure he will let you know in the thread below, would look next time before creating a new thread with the same question.

Nice shots, what are you using for night lighting?

So I tried removing both A330 and 757 and then reinstalling just the 757 but that didn't work then I did what you suggested and fingers crossed it looks like its sorted. Now I don't know if I want to try reinstalling the A330 just in case it breaks again. Thanks a lot for your help much appreciated. Steve

Okay so I had the AI set to 20 and it's the same when I'm in the standard 747 all the AI move around fine but then loading up my A330/757 I encounter the same problem. Really frustrating flying around with no one around talk about immersion breaker. Steve

Okay I couldn't find how to attach files in this forum (maybe I'm just stupid) So I created a shared folder in my dropbox account here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/muaxjsr93imcpig/Log.txt?dl=0 As for AI aircraft its one for me and one AI craft so yeah I have it set at 2 at the moment. Thanks for all the help.

I do enjoy GA aircraft already own A2A's 182 and Cherokee 180 but really like PMDG level aircraft like the 777 and 737 mainly due to me being able to fly for my VA with these aircraft. Will have a look at the Saab though. Thanks. Steve.

Yeah just found out I can only disable it if I don't want my aircraft to do anything. Just tried loading myself in the default 747 United and AI in my payware a330 and that works but then it didnt load the SASL plugin. I cant see anything in the log that stands out but then I'm really unfamiliar with X-Plane as only got it a couple of days ago. Steve. Just Loaded up with 1 AI aircraft so the log regarding AI was not so big and this was all that was reported. 0:01:26.204 I/ACF: Loading airplane number 1 with Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/747-400 United.acf 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.dds' 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.png' 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.bmp' 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.dds' 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.png' 0:01:26.204 I/SCN: Failed to find resource 'Panel.png' (parent = 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/' at 'Aircraft/Heavy Metal/B747-400 United/Panel.bmp' 0:01:26.204 I/FLT: Init p1 type:loc_general_area lat:50.991386 lon:0.012315 ele(ft):32663.068359 psi:355.792114 spd(kts):281.034515 0:01:26.204 E/FLT: Init p1 type:loc_ram HAD BOGUS RUNWAY! apt:EGLL rwy:3 dir:0 0:01:26.204 I/ATC: p1(N01XP) FP filed - EGLL to KGLH at 36000 via SWB IOM DAP CON BEN 5909N DEVBI 6211N ING KEF BDMC1 6726N 6629N 6733N 6737N MASIK 6644N BAGTO 6449N 6352N 6254N 6156N 6058N 5960N PRAWN ODBOV 5664N 5667N 5569N KAVAB OMREB ILURU YMO YTS 4984N SSM HTL SINNI EON PIA FTZ HUW LIT , type=2 3Dsound Engine by JARDesign v.1.1 Not sure if there is anything useful in that. Steve.

I'm using the AI aircraft suggested in Step one on the 1st page. Also after disabling the sasl plugin I realized you needed this active for the aircraft systems but at least I know what's causing the conflict. Steve.

Okay so it looks like i've found the problem, I had a look at the common plugins between the 2 payware aircraft and the only one I could find was one called SASL, I'm not too sure what this one does but on disabling it AI traffic started moving again. Is this plugin important and can I expect any side affects of disabling it? Steve.

Okay so I have installed AI traffic following the instructions in this link http://www.avsim.com/topic/437933-an-easy-guide-to-populating-x-plane-10-with-ai-aircraft-for-new-x-plane-users/ The A.I was working great when I was flying in the default 747 but when I use either of my payware aircraft (Jardesign A330 and FlighFactor 757) the AI just sit at the gate doing nothing and none of the aircraft in the air land either, have tried multiple airports with no joy. Any help would be appreciated. Steve Whiterod.

I am using 10.36 at the moment at 6060x1080 resolution so you might have hit the nail on the head, I have the steam version so don't get access to the betas as far as I know, will have to be patient I guess. Thanks for the help much appreciated.

I didn't turn down the nights I turned them up as they were really dim. I edited the lights txt document as described in this link. http://forums.x-plane.org/?showtopic=61150 Have a look at the last page.
