    Theres some great addons for X-Plane - Ive been using XP11 and now 12 pretty extensively for the last few years - check out the Aerobask P300 (works in XP12 now) - and just got the Tolis A319. (Hotstart TBM900 very good but only XP11 until they update it)

    Also StickandRudder who makes X-Camera also released X-Keypad fairly recently -it makes a really good interface between X-plane and hardware like the StreamDeck - lots of configs available too - I made a few including for the P300 - (works in any stock XP G1000 plane too with small mod to clear the Aerobask datarefs) - check out this link - https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/87223-stream-deck-plus-aerobask-phenom-p300-g1000/

    Looking for good Business Jets is what sent me to X-plane - so now I fly GA and Biz Jets and Turbo props in XP and mainly Airliners in P3d - best of both worlds - all the same hardware works of course - nice to change it up at times.

    Anyone using one of these with X-plane ?

    https://derekspearedesigns.com/dsd-flight---flt1flt2.html

    The encoders but also the switches (rockers) send pulses - I'm finding that sometimes they don't get picked up by X-plane 11.41 - trying to figure out if I can adjust something to make the switches and buttons work 100% - it varies - but a the moment I'm missing anywhere from 1 in 10 to more when mapped to various controls

    EDIT: Derek kindly provided a utility to change the functionality of the rockers to be plain on / off switches (which would lend itself better to Linda which has a release state function than X-plane which doesn't seem to / the same utility also tested the DSD button box fine)

    Still curious about the pulses and if anyone else is seeing drops / misses in X-plane (the same hardware works fine in P3D / Linda and FSUIPC)

    thanks - Lol I've arrived! - spent about 3 hours yesterday getting all the custom scenery add on libraries - that was a challenge (to track some down) - watching the sale on X-org to see what else to pick up - nice 50% discounts

    theres some great features in X-Plane (and new 11 interface - last one I used was XP8) - awesome to be able to map different controller layouts by aircraft

    just got the ProjectFly plugin working - and BetterPushBack, SAM, AviTab, XCamera etc etc - there should be a X-over guide for anyone coming over from P3D ...

    Some really good freeware scenery too - MisterX- and others (Again once you figure out the dependencies) - KPHL was ported over too - nice

    (working on GSX like functions next - picked up the Rotate MD80 half price - will apply FlyTheMadDogX experience and see how it goes) (and of course the legendary Zibo 737)

    Thanks - yea it was a flash sale and gone in a few hours - I noticed that - its not bad for a baked in GTN but not the same as RXP - which is still on sale so will pick that up before EOM. - The Aerobask one can import fms flight plans at least (from Simbrief using the simbrief downloader) - so thats good

    Does X-Plane itself ever go on sale ? - just researching the best way to get it now - Steam vs Native purchase - users over on x-plane.org suggested native has advantages - and Steam has a deep complex folder structure - even though it would work out about $8 cheaper (CDN) - likely will just get it direct from LR

    ** edit ** - I bit the bullet - why wait ... (direct)
