X Plane 11 Must Have Mods

Just picked up X Plane 11 and the FF 767. I have almost all the other FF planes with the exception of the A320. I have the JAR A320 and A330. Plus the Rotate MD80. I believe I will be getting the SSG 747 and the E jet pack too.

Anyway what are some must have mods for X Plane?

So far I have the following:
Better pushback
Airport enviroment(better markings and runways etc)
xEnviro
Raas 2.1
Zino 737

Thats a good list. I would highly suggest the HD Mesh and UHD Mesh v4. Really improves the terrain elevation data for more realistic looking hills, mountains, valleys, etc.

The UHD mesh is even higher quality data and improves over the HD version.

Works with autogen and any and all scenery add-ons. Doesn’t remove ALL of the jankiness in hilly areas (like San Diego) but vastly improves it. Best part is its FREE.

Yeah…that’s a good list. I have some lighting and haze mods that I like, but am reluctant to recommend since they are FlyWithLua mods that sometimes break other stuff or don’t work at all if X-Plane updates. True Haze, True Shade, and Make Nights Great Again are three I like…

True Haze and True Shade are part of this pack:

Make Nights Great Again (you may or may not like this…I like it…but it does subdue colors a bit in exchange for a bit of brightness and bloom I think…):

I like HD Forests too:

The top two of these probably do require as updated a LUA program as you can get:

Anyone spot this beaut :slight_smile:

Indeed she is beautiful…

Just Flight and Thranda did a great job. The only thing that they could have improved on would be to model the aft crew section, which is curtained off… the cockpit is a work of art and simply stunning in VR. I definitely recommend it if you have an interest in the Vulcan.

Know the costs must have been horrific to keep her in the air but I was saddened when they grounded XH558.

I saw her on her last tour of the UK. Flew over the farmhouse. There is a picture posted somewhere on here. They where a very distinctive aircraft and I used to see a lot on summer holidays. They always had one parked near Catterick you could see from the A1

Considering getting this to up the weather game but it doesn’t appear to be working with Vulkan as of yet.

Side note, what’s the standard for RAM with XP11 these days?

Taking her around the Mach loop is challenging.
