Almost seduced by the Dark Side, even as a long term fan and user of X-Plane. Slightly ironic given one of my X-Plane complaints. After loading up X-plane12 and again getting frustrated by: --difficult to read basic instruments in unrealistically dark cockpits --laughable vortex, wing condensation effects --poor inertial modelling of response to out of trim conditions in some aircraft --rainfall from nowhere --show stopping turbulence effects I am ashamed to say I started looking at digging out my MSFS2020 discs bought on release, loaded and then after a short whoww phase un-installed. After a ..read more

Here more exciting news about the next release coming from JustSid (source: discord). And this is only about the wipers and rain/ice effects: Let's see...  - Wipers pick up rain streaks  - The surging every few seconds is fixed  - Icing does what you would expect because the system now simulates and tracks ice accumulation  - Icing gets affected by the wind direction, so surfaces pointing into the wind will receive icing  - Icing is read back from the GPU simulation and pumped into the FM so that the flight model and visuals match up  - Rain spawning is affected b ..read more

I'm new to xPlane 12 (XP12) and mostly fly the Aerowinx PSX B744.  I am having trouble figuring out  the Zoom in XP12.  I understand how to get the screens to move in and out, but I don't know what I've got when I get there.  If I set P3d at a zoom of 1.5,  I can see the the zoom setting in P3d.  As an example how do I get XP12 to the equivalent of the P3d zoom of 1.5? Any guidance would be appreciated.   ..read more

Hi Everybody, Is X-Plane 12 allowed to have more than one entry in its shortcut? For instance I run reshade so I have my XP12 shortcut setup as shown below. Renaming Xplane 12.exe to FlightSimulatior.exe has removed all issues with reshade, no more crashes. I now have both exe files in this folder so any updates to XP12 will work as normal. "C:\X-Plane 12\FlightSimulator.exe" --allow_reshade I would like to add the following for my AMD 7950x3D CPU --num_workers=7 I haven't tried this, is this possible? "C:\X-Plane 12\FlightSimulator.exe" --allow_reshade --num_workers=7 ..read more
