X-Plane Releases Thread (2019)

I have it and its really good, specially on the aircraft that support it on the 3D panel. As a 2D popup gauge it works in all addons, runs smooth without visible loss of fps. If the aircraft not have non-standard variables to drive their AP it works and command the AP of your aircraft.
Its resizable, Touchscreen (after you get used you never more want to use the gns with that freeking rotating knobs to write icao’s). You can load/create flightplans. The map is more detailed and rich than gns, includes some USA airport charts etc etc.
The only thing that is not perfect is, because its based on the garmin gtn750 official simulador, the database is not updated monthly for free. So if you want a modern database you should pay a lot for that database on garmin store. BUT usually databases are not change everything monthly, so even with a db that have some months old, i fly without any issues using it on Europe/USA/Asia.

For the people that like to fly using GPS i strongly recommend this addon, it not only improves the addons fully integrate it in 3d, but also all your xp11 with gtn750 as na 2d gps.

Nice info, thx. I am interested in the part after ‘database’ :slight_smile: Do I understand it correctly that at the time of purchase of GTN750 I will receive the most current database and in case I want to update this database in future I have to pay, correct?

no, the database version is the last that Garmin provide for free on the gtn750 trainer.
Usually, Garmin times to times do updates and the reality-xp update it also to support the last trainer.
You can go to garmin website and install the trainer and there you can have like a demo of what if the gtn750 :slight_smile:

PC trainer suite for gtn 2.5.0

what reality xp do is insert this trainer inside xp11 and connect it with aircraft systems and variables.

I see ORBX released Tacoma Narrows airfield today for both P3D and X-Plane…looks nice!

I managed to refrain from buying anything in the recent sale, but every time they bring a new airport scenery out I feel I’m falling behind. :crazy_face:

I’m trying to get a good selection of OrbX airports in the PNW area in preparation for Air Hauler 2.

Um…Tacoma? The City of Destiny? Isn’t that where Ted Bundy grew up? :face_with_raised_eyebrow::grimacing:

Tacoma Narrows… I know that name from a collapsing bridge. Which is a nice example why resonance can be a dangerous thing.

For anyone unable to see the embedded video

Forgot why the name sounds familiar until you mentioned the bridge failure.

Just popped into my email.

It’s been released for a few weeks and unfortunately it is getting trounced in the forums…

I think the update fixed a lot of the issues though? I haven’t purchased it yet mainly because I’m not really into modern airliners and long haul flights (too much like work). Still, I’m tempted.

So this is an update to bring an X-Plane 10 version of the Pitts that was originally from X-Hangar up to X-Plane 11 compatibility. I think there is a more recent, payware version of the Pitts from Alabeo available, but this is a maybe a nice free-ware compromise. I’m not responsible for you using this plane in contravention to how @smokinhole would fly his… :wink:

I used the Alebeo S-1 to help prepare me for the real thing. It was ok for working around the pattern but didn’t fly much like the real thing. The performance was too good. The roll-rate was at least twice as fast. And the features that define the type: torque and gyro physics were weak or non-existant. Much if this may have as much the to do with limitations in X-Plane as with the module itself. Similar issues are found with DCS’ Christen Eagle.

I am SO EXCITED.

Look what I just found on the x plane store…

A c42c ikarus. A plane I have been looking to pass a check ride in after flying it a few times. I wondered if they had one on x plane to play with.

They haven’t just got any old ikarus…they have

KTOW!!! THAT IS OUR IKARUS!!!

I am so fricking excited about this. I’ve actually flown that exact plane albeit briefly but that’s OURS!!! WOW!!!

This looks like a beautiful freeware scenery for an obscure airport in Del Norte, Colorado. The X-Plane identifier is 8V1 (shows up as such in X-Plane) whereas the current ID for the airport is KRCV. Looks like a nice first effort by the author - check out the additional screens on the .ORG page…this looks like payware quality:

Realy nice effort. I would almost bet that it is a local airport for the author of the freeware.
