Flight factor 757 extended released
richie894 replied to YukonPete's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I liked the 757 v2, but I always thought the cockpit textures were bad. This updated version seemed to fix that. Just from my first quick look it all seems much better and crisper. I have yet to fly any of them yet. -
Watch QPilots video on YT. It worked a treat for me. Basically you have to download and use the free X-FMC and then import from EFASS the route with sids/ stars.

What's your Ortho backup strategy?

I have a 4TB external drive to mirror my internal 4TB. I took 20 hours to copy the data over! -
What are some good EFB options for XP11?
richie894 replied to exodus1977's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
EFASS is nice, but unfortunately the dev died in some tragic accident earlier in the year. I am not sure if it is still supported. I think someone was trying to buy the source code from the family. -
I got it. Just had a quick flight and the systems and all that seem good at first glance. All those years flying the Aerosoft buses has certainly paid off for me! But I have to say it - the IXEG is still the king of immersion with those amazing sounds and cockpit textures.I was a little underwhelmed with the FF sounds. I can not see anywhere to adjust them. I am sure there are some settings in a menu somewhere which I have not found yet. Also a strange choice of liveries - Korean Air, Ryanair, American and Air Berlin - isn't Ryanair all Boeing?? I am sure the painters will be at work and more liveries will be out soon. The FPS seem good, no issues and the moving Google map in the tablet is a nice touch.

KJGG Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport
richie894 replied to jt8d9a's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
KRIC is an awesome piece of freeware. Nice regional airport which is not only accurate but very well detailed. -
I do not have it, but over on the org forum people say it is heavy on frames.

I don't think we are allowed post links anymore on avsim. Google alpilotx hd mesh. Download the tiles you want and put them in your custom scenery - put them at the bottom below all other scenery entries in your scenery.ini. Then run OrthoXP using your Bing ZL17 and direct the overlays to the Earth Nav folder of the hd mesh folder which you recently downloaded. In scenery.ini, airports overlays ortho tiles hd mesh folder

Did they do anything with modeling the city itself, or just the airport?
-
Both the plane and your sim looks excellent. Great colors! I have been procrastinating between getting the Vflyte Cirrus SR20 and this Twin Comanche. I think I am going to pull the trigger on the Comanche. Over at PC Aviator all VFlyte aircraft are on sale right now for $20.95 and I have an additional $5 coupon which makes it a great deal.

How to set landscape in XP11 from google
richie894 replied to super jet 100's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
As stated above if you have bandwidth restrictions it may not be a good idea for you. I have a fast connection and no limits. I have probably downloaded about 3TB of tiles in the past month alone. That only gives me about two thirds of western europe at a pretty low zoom level of 16. A 20 min video of youtube to show you how to do it is nothing in comparison. May be 1/1000th of one single tile in bandwith. -
If you scroll towards the end of the thread you will see user comments. Personally I think some are a little harsh and people are expecting perfection. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/126865-sedona-uhd/&page=2

The best addon I have ever purchased
richie894 replied to JYW's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
When I have certain scripts "active" and click on XPRealistic in the FlyLua macro menu nothing happens, it does not open up the UI. When the scripts are removed from the folder and I click it, the UI opens up. I don't know what else explains this other than a script conflict.
