Never mind, I fixed the problem. It was due to the radios volume in the "sounds menu" turned all the way down. All works great now!! E. Davila

I love this plugin, everything works great except I'm not hearing any communication audio. My speakers are up and I can hear everything else except the Pushback chatter. Am I missing something? Regards, E. Davila

For the mean time, I was just able to delete the stars by going to Resources\default data\astro.dat and leaving just the header and the "99" at the end (saving a backup of course). I prefer having a complete dark sky texture rather than having "flying saucers" all over the place. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with the moon. Trying to edit the moon.dng will crash X-Plane on start-up. As for the Lua scripts and Terra Haze, I will give them a try hopefully by sometime today. Thanks again hamoody!

Thank you for the reply sir. And that is awesome news. I'm only a day old X-Plane newborn and I must admit, I am already a fan of your work. To be fair, the static aircrafts look amazing for now since I still haven't started flying on Vatsim thru X-Plane. But once I begin that phase using the new platform, it would be awesome not to have so many static traffic populating so many gates. I am very happy to know though that you are planning on updating you're already amazing sceneries. :smile:

Greetings folks; I finally installed X-Plane and went ahead and also purchased SkyMaxx Pro v3, Real World Connector, and even went ahead and got the IXEG 737 to start off with since I was a heavy PMDG flyer back in P3D. First of all, I am really loving the flight modeling of X-Plane, the night lights of cities, airport runways/taxiways, etc. I'm also loving how not all airport runways are completely flat. The only thing(s) I am having a hard time with and really disliking is the moon lighting during night flights, and how the clouds render at night. I assume there are tweaks and other stuff I may be able to download in the net but not too sure where exactly and which ones. If any of you X-Plane veterans can shed some light my way on this would be much appreciated! :smile: I also downloaded a few freeware sceneries by MisterX. Very nice sceneries I must say. I just hate it when scenery makers add static traffic to their airports. I can't find anything easier to get rid of them other than deleting each parked aircraft one-by-one using the OverlayEditor. If anyone knows an easier way, please let me know! I did a flight last night from KFLL to KLGA and I also disliked how the night ground textures are lost and all I see reflecting on the ground are the star reflections while flying at 35,000ft. I felt like I was flying in outer space. Very unrealistic. Then when I fly near an airport at that altitude, the field looks like its floating. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Regards,

Thank you Cjr60611. I just digitally purchased and now downloading X-plane as we speak, all while watching now a bunch of YouTube clips on how to set up controls, views, etc. So far not as daunting as I thought it would be. I guess what may kick my butt a bit is looking for the best rendering setups for my machine. I do have a pretty powerful rig I build less than a year ago (GeForce GTX Titan X, 34gig DDR4 Memory, Intel i7 6700K liquid cooled, and more). I am excited for this change. Over all, I've been using Flight Simulator since FS98' so this is definitely a big change for me. By no means am I planning to completely abandon FS as of right away (Unless X-plane completely sucks me in deep and makes me forget everything else). Thus why I will be having both sims and their respective files on separate SSD's. Regards,

Thank you Jude!

First of all, I want to thank you guys for the very helpful replies especially Old_As_Dirt and hamoody for the details of add ons I should consider. I will be reviewing as many add ons as I can. But in the mean time, I am convinced and will begin the preliminary purchases as of today. Once again, thanks gentlemen. Any additional recommendations by others is also welcomed as I am ready to build my X-plane world a step at a time. Regards, Efrain D.

Greetings X-Plane community; I was a long time FSX user and been on P3D for the past couple of years running now the most current version of it. I've invested a whole lot of money on add ons (Sceneries and pretty much all of their top third-party aircrafts), weather tools, and eye-candy tweaks. Yet I've still was never able to be completely satisfied with this really old platform (We all know P3D is basically still FSX). For quite some time now I've been keeping a very close eye on X-Plane's maturity and been somewhat eager to make the jump. After constantly following it's development via many very helpful YouTube channels, forums, looking at photos and watching the FlightSimCon2016 presentation online, I am more than convinced and I'm just about ready to make the dive and have an alternate sim. My question to you guys is, should I buy now, or wait for 10.50's final release? I purchased a new SSD today that will be dedicated solely to X-plane and I'm pretty much set. Also, I would like to know what are the top "must-have" 3rd party add ons I should consider getting for X-Plane as well since I'll will obviously be a "newbie". Thanx in advance everyone!!
