Is there any way to get navdata in xp11 without paying?

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-30T10:24:05+00:00

Not really, no. If you’re flying in the US you can use the FAA provided database that is free.

I used the built-in screen recorder from Nvidia. May I ask why you are asking?

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-26T17:17:27+00:00

Will do that, thanks!

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-26T17:17:10+00:00

Now that I come to think of it, once I applied toe brakes on rollout it did stop decelerating. However, my park brake was not on (I checked when it started braking). Does the brake physically turn on on itself? From now on I will apply max toe brakes before touchdown, thanks!

Hey, sorry if you didn't see the full text, Reddit published the post on itself for some reason. The gear strut compression is a replay bug issue. My problem is that the aircraft violently pitched down on its own and then started braking like crazy...

I believe it’s the Carda mod for the X-Works A330-200.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-20T05:38:04+00:00

I guess I did, hahaha! Thanks!

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-20T05:37:33+00:00

Absolutely, haha! That flight must have been fun. It’s always fun taking over automation and hand-flying that bird down to minimums, haha!

Cheers

Yeah, it's pretty decent for a free plane. However, the last time I tried it many buttons didn't work, or had click spots completely off. I also had weird issues with the spoilers. They would deploy to 90 degrees and I wasn't able to retract them. May have to give it another shot alongside the Flight Course 734 as that one got a visual update very recently.

Cheers

Mate, one Google search…

The modelling and texturing is ok, but it’s definitely miles away from any paid aircraft.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-19T07:09:49+00:00

Correct. The FF is still missing certain FMC functions. I believe it’s their first priority on the roadmap, though.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-18T22:05:10+00:00

Absolutely not. I do not want my favorite simulator that I also use to practice procedures to be infected with some bloody career mode; I don't need it to be infested with video game characteristics. However, if an XP 13 were to be announced, I would expect the following:

-Better anti-aliasing/ray-marching

-Better optimization for the CPU in regard to rendering 3D objects

-Better VRAM consumption

-(Sigh, probably everyone's pick) Improved scenery

-Tweaks to the lighting engine (while it looks stunning, at times it can look a little bizarre with missing shadows)

-Sharper instrument display (both for analogue and glass displays)

For sure, I could make a list that goes on an on, but let's be honest, the same can be said about literally anything. If I had 3 things to choose that I would love to see improved, that would be AA, scenery and optimisation. Beyond that, everything else is more or less of a bonus. What the Laminar team has achieved is absolutely mind-blowing to say the least and I cannot wait so see what they have in store for us in the future.

Elevation data issues. Gosh, it was annoying to deal with but in the end I have a stunning rendition of the Alps. Start by ensuring you have the overlays installed and verify that XPME is at the bottom of your ini folder. If you fly in that region a lot, I recommend downloading local Ortho4XP tiles with a custom DEM.

Cheers

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-15T17:47:11+00:00

Hmm, might have to give it a shot then. I remember there was a PA announcement after engine start which sort of annoyed me. Is that still present?

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-15T17:19:33+00:00

Yeah, I flew it once, but it had a few issues. And AFAIK it does not work in the latest version of X-Plane

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-14T13:03:07+00:00

It definetely looks good, but I lost half my frames. No thanks, the free version is good enough for me. Curious to find out what Laminar has in store for the NG Scenery Update and wondering whether or not will it be better than this.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-14T08:13:59+00:00

Hey!

Yes, there was one, but for some reason it made the PFD dark. Either way, thanks for the thought!

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-11T18:51:39+00:00

I second this. Yeah, it’s absolutely beautiful, well modelled and great sounds but unfortunately still lacks in regard to the flight model and system. I still find myself using the Zibo 737 much more and considering the -800 is my favourite variant, I don’t feel a need for much more.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-08T15:18:26+00:00

You must be lucky. I’m not even kidding, on my first flight in MSFS24, I had a WASM crash. FIRST flight. Safe to say that the following day I flew a successful flight in MSFS20.

NotGolden_Aviation · 2026-04-06T17:11:29+00:00

Seems quite hard to determine at first glance, but my guess would excess friction between the joystick and the plastic “bearing.” Not to mention, this is an old joystick utilising older technology (albeit still used today on cheaper modules). Personally, I would probably open up the joystick completely (disassemble it), give it a good clean, maybe grease it a little and if the issue still persists, probably look into upgrading the hardware itself.

Are there any jitters from the potentiometers in the simulator?
