Throwing this post together to keep track of what is working with XP12, this is very much a WIP. Feel free to post updates below and I’ll adjust the list.
Others I’ll be watching out for: Inibuilds A3xx, Hotstart TBM, Challenger 650.
Listed below are only those which are confirmed to be working:
Inibuilds A3xx will sadly probably not get the XP 12 love. They seem to have abandon XP for MSFS.
The FF 757/767 and A350 will be compatible. The FF A320 might be or it will be a V2 with a small upgrade sticker. FlightFactor XP 12
Toliss have said the A340 will be compatible and the A319 and A321 will require updates that cost $11 each. Toliss XP 12
The X Craft EJets(135,140,145) will get the update but not right away as they are busy with the new versions of the E175 and E195 X Craft XP 12
As for the Rotate MD11 and MD80. Not a lot of news on that front. The MD11 is new enough that it probably has the required files for XP 12 all ready. However the MD 80 is old enough it will probably either not make the jump or get a new version.
Way to early to tell on most things, which is why I will hold off a bit before making the jump.
vFlyteAir is planning on bringing these into XP12:
So far, and this is subject to change and in no particular order regarding release dates etc, these are the products we will bring forward into X-Plane 12:
Piper Arrow III
Piper Cherokee 140
Cessna 150
Turbo Otter
Piper Twin Comanche
Ikarus C42
The to-be-released Piper Saratoga
didnt expect so many surprises from the XP 3rd parties … here we go, they are still in the game, looking forward to their S300 … smashing that buy button on XP12 now, lol
When I wrote that, I went looking on their website to make sure I was correct. I remember them promising that they would. I couldn’t find anything though. I guess they were just ‘doing it’ instead of talking about it. Nice! Love that team.
That is a nice surprise! My “intel” on Dreamfoil’s departure from the hobby was obviously bad and was based on a single post on Cowan’s thread at the dot org site. If DF reintroduces their H125, even though I just bought Cowan’s, I’m on it! Also…downloading XP12 now. Woot!!
As for VSkyLabs, yep. One thing I like about them is that part of their MO is to not use plugins. Everything they design is straight out of planemaker using XP’s “Experimental” flight model. (No longer experimental) So for them, the conversion is easy (if any is even required at all).
Has anyone heard anything official from AirFoilLabs about the King Air 350? I can’t find anything in the support forum at the org.
Update: I installed it and for the most part it works. The only wonkiness is when I pull the prop rpm back to around 1600 for cruise, the torque, ITT, an fuel flow begin jumping around erratically.
that will be interesting having the same modules for the sim. similar to MSFS with its e.g. PC12, already released by Carenado and in the works by SWS.
but its little schizophrenic. the competition is always welcomed, but maybe wider availability of modules (in case devs will work on different types) could also make sense.
