I definitely have a CYWG available in X-Plane 12. And it's not 3rd-party scenery. So I would agree with @Litjan that it might be user error.

Looks like a good product but from what I can see, it's strictly for MSFS not X-Plane. So it wouldn't be of use here I don't think.

A beta release for XP 12.4.3 has been released. This one is "The VR Update". Link to website release notes: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-4-3-release-notes/ Blog post: https://www.x-plane.com/2026/05/whats-new-in-12-4-3-the-vr-update/ Release notes: Public Beta 12.4.3-B1 ATC Fixed default ATIS transmissions to include transition altitude/level and RVR information regardless of distance from the airport (XPD-18013) Improved call sign and gate suffix pronunciation (XPD-17820) Avionics & Systems Fixed a crash when selecting PLN mode on but_map_mode_HSI without a flight plan (XPD-18045) Fixed an FMS/CDU softlock for the 737 variant on the FPLN page where canceling a modification after an invalid airway entry prevented any further airway or waypoint input (XPD-18028) Trigger gear down warning again in multi engine aircraft after setting another engine to idle (XPD-18027) Fixed an A330 FCU bug where pressing the HDG V/S–TRK FPA pushbutton with both FDs off failed to toggle the FPV and instead caused the selected HDG value to drift incorrectly with each press (XPD-18031) Fixed an issue where the EGT and CHT bars and graphs weren’t drawn correctly on the MFD->Engine->Lean page of the X1000 (XPD-17956) Added a new command called sim/transponder/transponder_test_cancel to cancel the transponder test (XPD-17954) Fixed a drawing issue of the trend line on the X1000 MFD when moving the map using the slaw/cursor mode Graphics Engine Fixed an issue where ATTR_layer_group blended reversed normals Scenery Updated Global Airports to latest version Added new color variants for flat hangars, hangar doors, flat warehouses, and cargo warehouses Improved placement for static aircraft and airport vehicles by searching for regional libraries first Fixed an issue when omni directional spill lights are always on, even during the day VR Complete rewrite of the VR system and support for mixed reality on supported devices Highlight – and + top buttons on new VR Windows when hovering over them (XPD-18041) Add haptic hover feedback for VR Controllers (XPD-18039) Clicking on the X1000 will no longer pop it out in 2D mode (XPD-18038) VR Keyboard can be moved again (XPD-18037) Fixed an issue where clicking on “Use OpenXR Runtime” would cause a XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE (XPD-17551) Fixed a VR bug where the xPAD and VR Controllers could enter a whiteout state independently of the cockpit lighting when flying through dense clouds (XPD-17844) SDK Fixed a crash when calling XPLMIsAvionicsPoppedOut when disabling a plugin (XPD-18049) Fixed a bug where Custom Avionics Devices did not receive the correct touchscreen coordinates when using VR Controllers (XPD-18009) Added missing “clear” option for the weather preset in the Flight Initialization API (XPD-17958)

Another update to Aerofly has been released (patch 2026-04-17). This one adds a new Airbus A321XLR to the sim (https://www.aerofly.com/features/aircraft/a321xlr/) Change-Log (2026-04-17) New A321XLR added Two new A350-1000 liveries added Minor autopilot bug fixes Minor assistance bug fixes They've made additional changes in the A321XLR which they plan to roll out to the entire A320 family at a later date: Status page automatically removed after 3 seconds when status normal Changes to the alternate braking logic and hydraulics Nose wheel steering and brakes can now fail when hydraulic pressure is lost Additional indications on the ECAM wheel page Nose gear light visual model removed, not needed since we've installed the MFRL in the wing root

Well the good news is that the supposed hold up on finishing the TBM update was that Toto was focused on the CL650 update. So the path should be clear for the TBM update now! Here's hoping. I truly miss that aircraft but just can't bring myself to reinstall XP11 just to fly the TBM.

I just tried it 20 seconds before writing this response post and it's working for me.

I've patched up but haven't had a chance to take it for a flight yet. Really hoping that the "...dedicated pause/freeze command for Tobii Eye Tracker..." means that when I pause the tracker, the view will remain where I paused it rather than recentering.

Release notes pasted below. There's also a Laminar blog post about the release available at https://www.x-plane.com/2026/04/whats-new-in-12-4-2/ Public Beta 12.4.2-R1 (Yes we know it's called R1... this is still a Beta release! Please check the beta box or use the beta_channel) ATC Fixed a crash when entering a flight plan on the ATC screen (XPD-17948) Avionics Fixed a crash when using a secondary monitor for avionics display, such as the G1000 PFD Graphics Engine Fixed an issue where aircraft LODs (Levels of Detail) were not switching correctly with distance, causing only the highest-detail model to render at all ranges and leaving visual artifacts at maximum distance (XPD-17984) Graphics engine improvements, including updates to the VMA allocator and Vulkan transfer coordinator for better performance and stability (XPD-17946) Flight Model Loading an in-flight situation file is now significantly more stable. Aircraft previously exhibited pitch oscillations and erratic behavior when resuming a mid-flight save (XPD-17832) Scenery Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) - improved custom airport scenery with enhanced detail and accuracy. Many thanks to Matthias Gerstberger for this update! Windsock indicated airspeed accuracy - windsock deflection now more accurately reflects actual wind conditions (XPD-17994) Updated Global Airports with the latest approved submissions from the X-Plane Gateway.

Just figured I'd resurrect this old thread to mention that there is now a test version of SimHeaven X-World Pro available to download and try out: https://simheaven.com/package/x-world-pro-test/ I've downloaded it but not yet had a chance to set it up.

According to the FAQ on X-Codr's website: Based on their statement that "it's position in the ini does not matter", it leads me to believe that the contents of that directory consists of library files and thus, ordering is irrelevant.

Well, the absolute easiest way is to just use Winctrl's SimAppPro which maps pretty much everything for you out of the box (for supported aircraft models). On the other hand, if you're willing to spend some money, I can highly recommend SPAD.next. Support for just about all of the Winctrl devices is in place and you can usually find "snippets" that others have already created and shared for various aircraft models.

X-ATC-Chatter is also affected.

On the other hand, as a non-tubeliner guy, it's nice to see the X1000 getting some more love: Also happy to see the native Tobii Eye Tracker support getting some improvements: Thanks Laminar!

Pretty sure you'll still need a PC in the loop somewhere. The "streaming" part is streaming X-Plane from your gaming PC or a cloud gaming server (via NvidiaXR) to your AVP headset that's running a "companion app". If you want to be able to use your existing flight sim peripherals, they have to plug into a USB port somewhere and that's not going to be a cloud server.

Because he has the E195 which is part of the X-Crafts E-Jets family (E170, E175, E190, E195, and Lineage 1000). The v2.0 upgrade for those jets came out quite some time ago. https://www.xcrafts.com/ejets-family They are not the same as the ERJ family that was just released yesterday. Those are comprised of the ERJ 135, ERJ 140, ERJ 145, ERJ 145XR, and the Legacy 650. https://www.xcrafts.com/erj-family

If you watch the AviationLads trailer on YouTube and jump to 1:20 in the video there's a very clear shot of the ERJ FMS units and they don't look like the default XP12 Citation X FMS to me:

Got a small patch for FS4 on Steam today.

It's the very first line of the release notes above:
