Hi, I am unable to see this plane in xplane 11 even after i copy the files to the airplane folder

Question

I have copied the folder for this plane to the airplane folder in xplane 11 folder but i am unable to see it as an option to select when i start a new flight - http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/17767-cessna-skylane-turbo-182rg/

I own this plane and would like to use it for the sim i am setting up with a new license of xplane 11 that i have purchased recently.

Hi,

When selecting the aircraft, you need to tick the box "Show extra aircraft from old versions" in the top right corner.

Thanks Guillaume - I did tick that but still the plane is not visible - are there any specific steps documented somewhere to make sure i have the proper way to do this?

It's because the plane is not compatible with X-plane 11 yet. Very often, aircraft for X-plane 10 are not compatible with X-plane 11.

To add to Guillaume's comments, when we say "in general, planes from X-Plane 10 will work with X-Plane 11" we specifically mean "planes updated for X-Plane 10.30 and later."

I checked out this specific plane, and it was created for an older version of X-Plane. You may be able to get it to work by opening it in the latest Plane Maker for X-Plane 10, saving it, then trying it again in X-Plane 11.
