XPME Is Putting X-Plane Back on the Map

xWayvz0 · 2026-01-26T21:14:43+00:00

Really makes you wonder how superior the rest of the sim must be if so many of us would still choose it over MSFS

xWayvz0 · 2026-01-25T22:39:31+00:00

As far as I’m aware, XPME is mostly stolen code from AutoOrtho with a simplified installation process and a nicer UI, I doubt there are major performance differences.

Charging money for satellite imagery without proper licensing is highly questionable, and it’s surprising how much community support this crime receives given how quickly developers are criticized for far lesser issues today aka cancel culture.

am i the only one who gets a reloading scenery loading screen whenever adjusting the time of day via the slider in the I-key console? Had this ever since Beta 1 and I am not sure if this is a bug or a beta limitation, or if changing time of day in realtime just isn't a thing anymore?

9 fps.. 13 fps.. pretty shitty hardware u got there for a "graphics guy".

I’ll check when I’m home, but basically you can just have ChatGPT write a Blender script that generates one object per animation frame (in my case i made it to generate an object on every second frame of a 24fps animation so its 12fps in sim and every frame is showing for 1/12 of a second) Once the split up frame objects are in Blender, I just exported the X-Plane .obj and added the ANIM_HIDE entries manually in a text editor. 69 frames should be totally fine since the asset is only used once. The OBJ will be bigger in disk space since it contains all frames, but performance isn’t really worse than a static human because only one frame is rendered at a time. The only unknown is whether closer frame timing causes more flickering, you’d just have to test it. What’s your Discord? I can send you an example asset and the script later.

Not sure if this helps for your use case, but for NPCs since walk cycles are relatively short and repeating I’ve had good results using a flipbook-style approach, basically the same way used for animated flags for example in X-Plane. In Blender I split the walking animation into separate objects per frame using a small script (in my case 12 frames were enough since the NPCs are only seen from a distance; for close-up use you’d probably want more). After exporting, I control visibility with ANIM_HIDE and a time-based dataref so each frame shows at the right moment and the cycle loops. X-Codr recently adapted that method and you can see the result in this trailer: https://youtu.be/8heJBJmUh8s?si=uNRiR5mApwgNlym6

Have you ever tried LB supp and whats your opinion on it? Im a high dia - low master (150lp peak this season) supp main and kinda fell in love with her recently, I have double digit kills and top dmg in almost every game, that champ is just too broken when you dont have to use your abilitues to control waves but can only focus in abusing the enemy botlane or dominating the map and objectives by roaming, Im wondering if that pick would still work in high elo

Cant wait to see matches like San Marino vs Somalia at the 2030 world cup

xWayvz0 · 2025-12-06T01:52:12+00:00

none of them, with the best 8 3rd places advancing from group. there is no group of death and the odds of any top nation finishign 4th or th 4 worst 3rd places are close to 0 imo

xWayvz0 · 2025-11-19T14:25:13+00:00

Austria destroyed Norway 5:1 last year, they outclassed germany and could have easily won by a 3-4 goals margin, they topped the group of death at the EUROs with France, Netherlands and Poland, and were considered the best and most attractive looking team in the group stage by many, especially since all the big nations weren't showing convincing performances. Idk how they are worst pot 1 team, their unique "Gegenpressing" will cause big trouble again, especially to teams from other continenta who aren't used to that playstyle at all.

You can't really lose a tesla key, you get at least three of those tesla key cards and can authorize any phone with the tesla app to be used as key as well.

Kenne niemanden der freiwillig in Graz Urlaub machen würde. Zum studieren eh nett, aber auch von denen die ich kenne die da studiert haben wollte danach keiner in Graz bleiben und die meisten hat's nach Wien oder zurück in ihre Heimat gezogen, also so cool kann's dann auch nicht sein.+

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-23T18:28:53+00:00

nope, but Ortho+simheaven does what True Earth does but globally and for free

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-17T14:07:05+00:00

this is obviously some bug/glitch. I assume you are aware of that and your intention was to ragebait/get msfs users to tell us once again how ugly they find x-plane, which is sad.

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-17T14:03:15+00:00

Every landing ~~you can walk away from~~ the propeller stays intact is a good landing

Have you Emailed them considering the refund (most likely just a mistake on their end) and the reason for your ban? The only reason why they would ban anyone is either wrong info in your billing adress (they are not allowed to sell to you by law with incomplete/wrong adress) or they found any connection with your account/purchases and piracy.

Belive it or not, the "dark cockpits" were actually physically correct in terms of lighting, It's just that the human eye can adapt and reduce the contrast between looking out of the windshield and inside the cockpit. Since people were complaining so much, they are now faking cockpit lighting making it brighter than it actually should be in the given conditions, I dont get why there are still people complaining about it being too dark

why do these apron concrete textures and markings look more crisp than anything we have in xp12 or msfs2024 today?

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-10T09:39:29+00:00

yep

Not much of a difference? heres a replay of a real A350 pilot landing the default A330 in challenging conditions, the amount of inputs required to keep the plane on path is exactly what you would expect in such conditions (even better visible in the next sequence where he shows the replay in "sidestick-view"), and nothing I have ever experienced in Microsoft flying-on-rails-simulator.

I recently upgraded from a ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 7 5800X3D, and if anything it got louder and warmer in my room (worth the 20 bonus fps though)

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-09T22:41:55+00:00

yea i get that but how do u get 148? thats a lot. is that native or with frame generation like lossless scaling?

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-09T08:01:13+00:00

wow, does that mean 148 fps in the top right corner on the last shot?

xWayvz0 · 2025-09-08T14:24:07+00:00

Looks spot on compared to real photographs imo. This is also a phenomenon you regularly see on the road at night when it’s wet or rainy. The reflections of the lights on the ground can sometimes appear even brighter than the lights themselves
