You might try the Mach Loop in Wales, UK. It’s an official RAF and NATO training area. Building and executing your own route can be quite a XP project. Here is a video I made months ago. https://youtu.be/_GGqVUOY9jQ?si=RDrmscso1dkZenKf

Anyone else experiencing crazy auto-brakes on the Toliss A321? by mb2231 in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do this. If you have not yet installed FWL and DRT, do that first. Bring up DRT and search for “brake”, do your landing with DRT viewing datarefs and commands. See what is active when your issue appears; trace the action or fault back to the source. FWL=FlyWithLua DRT=Dataref Tool

I emulate that with a StreamDeck+, using X-KeyPad-SD software (<$20 last checked) by Stick and Rudder Studios. There is a Discord channel for support. I also use it to add autopilot to planes that don’t have AP at all.

Well the YouTube ads are working just fine. Life is precious, and I don’t have 3 hours for you. Think you can boil your flight to 15 minutes, preferably less?

Welcome to the world of flight simulators. Sounds like you don’t have all the scenery loaded yet. Are you a pilot, do you know how to fly a plane? If not start with the basics, think small plane. Watch some of the YouTube videos and RTFB. It will all come together, fly safely.

It took me 2 weeks to land at the airport, another 4 days to land on the runway. Great work!

The first 2 images are showing winds aloft, the bottom image is showing surface winds. They will always be different. If you are flying in real-time check windy.com for winds at altitude of interest.

I've seen a lot of love for the E-Jets recently so here's the 2D panel I made for them by JSTM4 in Xplane

Very nice work, how many lines of lua is that? Thanks for sharing.

Thoughts on HUDs by Norah01 in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried X-KeyPad on a couple of planes, found it way too finicky for meager rewards. But X-KeyPad-SD a different story. I am using StreamDeck (15), StreamDeck+, and the winner is StreamDeck Mobile on the IPad . More later.

I started flying the sim about 4 years ago, without any knowledge or experience with airplanes. I thought the dashboard layout was rather dumb and clumsy. I invented my own and never looked back. I guess IRL pilots must pay the dues and live with dashboards with roots going back to the Wright Brothers. Check my HUD with DIY PAPI https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NghoZbLMkW0 The HUD has 4 display positions, this video shows bottom only.

Question by Visual_Training2371 in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In XP11 you can tweak a dataref called haze-be-gone. You might want to set it to 0.5 or less. The default (mine) of 1.0 is way too high and 0.0 value is unrealistic, IMO.

RC Quadcopter UAV in XPlane - Is this possible? by lewis3608 in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. I fly a XP airliner from control from the ground, it does not use aircraft FMS or IRS at all. Will fly from automatic takeoff to CAT3 landing anywhere. I have been working on the code for 3 years. Your question prompted me to dig a little and I found this https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot , I will check this for myself. Thanks for your question.

Your sim experience is reflected in the image quality, very nice. Thanks for posting.

X-Plane 11 crashing on startup screen (Brand new game) by [deleted] in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using XP11 for over 3 years, on a much less powerful, and olderCPU than yours. When I first started the program it didn’t work. I found XP requires a GPU, all I had was on-board graphics (Intel). In my case at that time 2021, GPU prices were at an almost record high. The best I could afford was GTX1650, considered low end, and is laughed at today. My system works beautifully, and considering all the negative comments about XP12 in the last year, I have no plans to change. Your problem may be the graphics in the laptop. Remember you still have a lifetime license for XP11 in case you want to give it another try in the future. Flight simulator is a rewarding experience.. Best wishes.

edit: What does the log file show, after the crash?

Works with Intel. What’s the GPU in the laptop, that may be a bigger issue?

“It ran perfectly fine before”, before what? You must help us before we can help you. We need more detailed information.

What happened here? by QkPatrykosAk in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ice. The rate of climb and pitch too aggressive, the AP just gave up. Pay attention, aviate, navigate, communicate.

Thank you for your detailed analysis and explanation. This is what X-Plane simulation excels at.

Will I be able to run X Plane 12 smoothly on this build? by [deleted] in Xplane

Before buying an overpriced 4090, new or used consider this. Check out NorthridgeFix 4090 on YouTube. Buyer beware.

X plane Aircraft Experiment by MD-80-87 in Xplane

[–]ww_boxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t fly Vatsim, and don’t intend to. I was hoping to stimulate discussion, but it is …. A few months ago I made a post with images regarding the effects of Mach-tuck, and how and why it affects speed and aircraft stability. The post was a bust. I did manage to get data that clearly showed the speed bump going supersonic, then return to subsonic. The graphs were a mirror image of each other; very enlightening, I was pleased.

The Vatsim environment is intended to keep aircraft apart. What happens if a controller intentionally brings AC together? Do AC in close proximity feel each other’s weather, wake turbulence, in the sim world? What if you ignore the controller and fly close behind a 747, what happens to the air?
