Just for reference: the new ACFN struct adds some padding, that might help. Probably only the documentation is new and the struct always needed the padding

const xint net_strDIM=150;    // must be short enough to send over the net, long enough to hold a full ACF path from the x-system folder
struct acfn_struct
{
    xint m_acfn_p; // aircraft index: 0=own aircraft, 1-19 AI planes
    xchr m_acfn_path_rel[net_strDIM]; // full path to acf from x-plane root folder
    xchr pad[2]; // PADDING

Answered: What is going on with XPlane 11 ATC ?

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 22:35:22 +0000

Yes, I'm fairly certain that whoever wrote the ATC system and user documentation has zero experience flying.

"As in the real world, any ATC interaction begins with filing a flight plan."

Wrong.

"You need an IFR clearance before you can proceed"

Wrong (there's such a thing as VFR).

"You must read back all instructions from ATC."

Wrong. Just clearances (otherwise, you'll tie up the frequency and annoy everyone).

"At some point, you will be handed off to the center controller"

Well, sure, if you're IFR, though you could also be handed off to a TRACON/terminal controller. If you're VFR, don't count on it. There's also a lot of uncontrolled IFR outside the U.S.

"Continue on your heading and altitude and eventually he will begin vectoring you to an approach at your destination"

If you're VFR, not usually (though they will in busy airspace like NY approach."

And so on.

The DataOutput target Index is 64.
If you've sent Index = 0 what you are receiving is the MultiPlayer data as you've told X-Plane MultiPlayer0 is on that address+port.

Answered: 2 networked computers and flight models per frame

Sat, 30 Nov 2019 01:19:42 +0000

Hi Biblbrox,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under. I also have no connection with any other references I give you in this response.

My apologies for not responding sooner.

Personally I am of the opinion that you plan to or are running your system back to front.

My new system will be networked with two PCs.

Your "MAIN" PC should be your most powerful PC and connected to your largest screen. This PC should be running X-Plane. X-Plane is resource hungry depending on your CPU and GPU both of which generate heat. It also requires good internal cooling.

At this stage an alternative is then to connect your second screen to the same graphics card on your Main PC to utilise the display of the instruments. Second PC and subsequently no networking can also be run showing the instruments. Have a look at the following link from Michael Brown found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZyFfMq7Rnc

Michael runs a business called XForcePC that specialises in the building of PCs predominantly for X-Plane and is a good mate with Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane.

Now if you intend to run a second PC via a network just for instruments, using your second PC then I am of the opinion you will require a second licenced copy of X-Plane.

However, there is a method of not requiring a second copy of XP. Consider using a product called Air Manager on your 2nd PC. This is the system I will be running.

Air Manager runs your instruments successfully with X-Plane on your second screen. Have a look at the following link found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZyFfMq7Rnc You will need to scroll through the site to understand what the product is. Basically it is a software package that is linked to X-Plane only showing your instruments on the second screen. Ralph is the main contact with this business.

Trawl through the YouTube videos link found at https://www.youtube.com/user/col2mab/videos from Michael Brown not only for the setup of X-Plane but a strong supporter regarding the use of Air Manager. There are several videos. Disregard the necessity of using multiple screens from your main PC but you can use your second screen connected to your 2nd PC

Alternatively have a long look at the following YouTube videos found at https://www.youtube.com/user/srbarlow/videos from Russ Barlow who is also one of the developers of Air Manager.

I am not in a position to answer the question raised in your last paragraph of your initial query.

Hope this helps.

Answered: Honycomb yoke works only with root privileges

Thu, 28 Nov 2019 00:42:35 +0000

Hi TomaLars,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under using a Windows based operating system.

My apologies for not providing a response earlier.

I don't understand what you mean by "root privileges" but what I do know and understand is that X-Plane is unlike any other "Mickey Mouse" or "shoot-em-up" games and other flight sim packages whereby you use the software that is supplied with the hardware.

With any hardware to be used with X-Plane it has to be setup within X-Plane. No other way. Not even within your operating system. If your hardware includes a Logitec or Saitek product I would advise you to find the software supplied and dig a deep hole and bury the software never to be seen again.. Logitec supplied software does not work with X-Plane

Have a look at the manual which can be found at https://x-plane.com/manuals/desktop/ I would also suggest you have a good look or viewing at the following link where Austin demonstrates the yoke also found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlkHh9zlxIk. In viewing this video clearly demonstrates that the yoke can be configured within X-Plane.

Now, having read other postings in this forum I am of the opinion that the yoke is part of the hardware listing for installation within X-Plane, particularly with the formal release versions instead of the Beta versions. As you have a latest release version the yoke should be included. Also have a look at the following link found at https://www.youtube.com/user/col2mab/videos . If you go back approximately 3 months you will find a series of YouTube postings (at least 3) by Austin whereby he comments on his personal introduction and development of version 11.40 In these videos my memory reminds me that Austin states the Honeycomb yoke is included within 11.40 beta ?. Good and patient viewing.

I would suggest you run the installer program again to get the latest update. The file will also check your system for missing files and any corrupted files.

Austin managed the total release/development of this version. If you are still having problems I would suggest you make direct contact with him. I will send you a private message with his contact details.

I relation to your power supply problem with USB hubs have a look at the following link found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqwIhuxe95U Disregard the products being installed but consider the message regarding the power requirements for USB connected hardware.

Good luck

Answered: monitor recommendations for a beginner

Sat, 23 Nov 2019 12:20:33 +0000

Hi Monkey,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under.

I am of the same opinion of disc that your laptop will not run successfully and the minimum screen size should be in the order of 27 inch. What is not mentioned in the recommended requirements is good cooling in any computer. X-Plane generates a lot of heat that has to be removed.

X-Plane is resource hungry requiring as a minimum a near top of the range CPU and a near top of the range GPU. These two items require the cooling. For best effect go for a NVidia graphics card and an intel CPU. These products will give you best performance over AMD products.

If you do find you need a new system to run X-Plane and you are looking at some decent hardware then consider a purpose built Windows based PC.

Despite X-Plane being developed using a Mac System LR staff recommend a purpose built Windows based system. By going for a purpose built system you can upgrade your individual components as and when you can afford component upgrades whereas an off-the-shelf unit will possibly not give you that flexibility.

Now in relation to your original question, consider using a television screen in the largest size you can afford.A far cheaper option than a large monitor. The screen should be at least 1920 x 1080 format running at 60 Hz (FHD is the starting point although may be difficult to purchase as large screens are now generally UHD)

I am sure the recipient will be pleased with what you plan.

Good luck

Answered: Nav data not updating in sim

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 10:19:43 +0000

Hi there

I'm not with Laminar Research, just a fellow simmer in the UK.

Please could you advise where you have targeted the AIRAC cycle data to go within the XP11 file structure, from Navigraph FMS Data Manager? For all XP11 default aircraft, Zibo 737 etc., the data should be placed in the C:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data folder.

In fact, when you update the AIRAC cycle, FMS Data Manager will actually create another subfolder called CIFP and this is what you should see within the C:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data folder itself. All AIRAC cycle data will then be held in the CIFP subfolder.

Please see photos below to help visualise things a bit better!

If the data is updated successfully, you should also find a file called 'cycle_info' in the C:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data folder. If you double click the cycle_info file, you will find information on the AIRAC cycle that you have just update to.

Later on, if you end up flying any Flight Factor aircraft and/or some other third party payware aircraft, the AIRAC cycle data should 'additionally' be targeted to go into the C:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data\GNS430 folder, which you will have to create yourself i.e. the GNS430 folder.

Hope this helps, but please advise on this post if not?

Hi Dtsoho,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under.

X-Plane is unlike any other "shoot-em-up" or flight sim games. The controllers have to be setup within X-Plane. No other way. Not with the installation software supplied with the controller or even within your operating system software.

If you were using Logitec or previously Saitek controllers I would tell you to dig a hole and bury the installation software never to be seen again.

Have a look at the X-Plane manual found at https://x-plane.com/manuals/desktop/ and specifically at https://x-plane.com/manuals/desktop/#configuringessentialyokejoystickfunctions and also at https://x-plane.com/manuals/desktop/#selectingflightcontrolhardware and also at https://x-plane.com/manuals/desktop/#configuringflightcontrols Read the whole of Chapter 4.

Take your time with the assignments of buttons and sliders making sure you do not assign two buttons to the one process or two or more processes to a single button or slider. Your calibration will not work.

When you have the controller calibrated save the setup with a name. Then if you want to fly another aircraft calibrate the controls for the new aircraft and then save with a different name. Repeat this process for all aircraft where you wish to use this controller. In the very early versions of XP11 and pre XP11 you had to calibrate you controller each time from first principals and lost all previous configurations whereas as now you select the controller name for you specific aircraft.

Good luck

Hi MissAmanda0411,

Like Greengolfer15 I am not from Laminar Research. Just a flight simmer from down under.

Glad to know that you have solved your problem following the advice and comments from Greengolfer15.

You also need to know that the Steam version of X-Plane is a 3rd party modified hybrid version of the official version from Laminar Research which you now have.

Although you are now up and running I would suggest you do a complete deletion of any Steam files (if not a clean installation of the LR version) as the steam version does not mix and match with the official, genuine and original version of X-plane from LR. In previous Q&A questions in this forum LR staff make this point quite clear.

Answered: FlightFactor B777 extended: b777-300ER shuts down during flight

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 14:33:50 +0000

Ortho4Xp scenery files, and scenery files in general have nothing to do with aircraft function. I suspect your FF777 install is corrupt, or need to see if it needs updating since you purchased it. (check version installed vs version on the website where you purchased it, download newer if needed and clean reinstall aircraft.

typically should clean install aircraft, unless mfg notes specifically say you can update by replacing existing files in the aircraft folder.

I also know that most addon aircraft mfg do not want you to install the aircraft in the default LR subfolder under aircraft folder. you should create new subfolder called FlightFactor or FF or B777 or whatever you like under the aircraft folder and install the plane in there.

one other tip is to get XOrganizer (available on the Org Store) if you dont have it, works wonders at straightening out scenery plug in conflicts, also tells you if stuff is installed incorrectly or missing as well.

Answered: Steeerable nosewheel issues

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 06:28:48 +0000

Hi,

The DA-20 Katana actually does not have a nose wheel steering. The nose wheel is a free castor type, similar to a grocery shopping cart. You steer the Katana by differential braking. So rudder pedals with brakes would be needed. If you don’t have a set of pedals, I believe that you can assign a steering function in PlaneMaker.

To do this open PlaneMaker.exe. It is located in your main X-Plane11 folder. Once PlaneMaker has loaded, go to File, then click on Open. A list of all your installed aircraft will appear. Select your DA-20 Katana, and click on DA-20.acf. ( I do not have the Katana, so I don't know what the .acf file is exactly called. Could be Katana or something like that) Then click on Open Aircraft at the bottom of the page and wait for PlaneMaker to load that .acf file.

Once it is loaded, a large picture of the Katana should appear. Click on Standard, and then select Landing Gear. Under the Gear Loc tab, go to the bottom, and check if a green tick mark is set in any of the little boxes for castors. Remove that tick mark and your steering should be activated.

It then should look like this:

Save the file before quitting PlaneMaker and then reload your Katana.

Hope this helps.

Answered: Can or should i download the original [first version] of "Zibo 737-800x

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 04:57:55 +0000

No need for the “original version”.

To cleanly install the Zibo mod, first install the base version, then the single latest (or desired) update version on top of the base version. A base version includes the full complete aircraft, e.g. the latest release being B737-800X_3_37_full.zip, as of this writing. You can tell a full version by its size—over 1GB. Next, copy the chosen update files over the already installed base (overwriting some base files), e.g. B738x_3_37_18.zip. The update zip files are much smaller in size. Each update package is “Cumulative”, i.e. you can go directly from a base to any update file derived from the same base, without the intermediate updates.

As if today, do B737-800X_3_37_full + B738X_37_18.zip if you’re on X-Plane 11.36.

Or B737-800X_3_37_full + B738X_38_rc5.zip if you have X-Plane 11.40.

Hi Jim

I'm not with Laminar Research, just a fellow simmer in the UK.

In XP11 that is running on Windows 10, all you do is navigate around the cockpit with your mouse cursor and arrow keys as necessary to find the view your looking for and press the Ctrl key on your keyboard, simultaneously with a number on your keyboard number pad (not the numbers above the QWERTY keys) i.e. Ctrl0 or Ctrl1 etc.

Obviously there is only 10 preconfigured views that you can get this way, but I see no reason why this should not work on your MAC keyboard, assuming that it has a number pad on the right hand side? If not, then you may have to purchase another USB keyboard that does!

Hope I have understood your question correctly?

Hi there

I'm not with Laminar Research, just a fellow simmer in the UK.

It's a shame that you're not getting any support from Steam, although not really surprising! You should have purchased a copy of XP11 directly from LR and then you would get full support from this Q&A forum and LR themselves.

Having said that and in the interests of assisting others, one initial question to start with:-

When you use the term 'crash', do you mean that the XP11 application shuts down back to desktop (i.e. crash to desktop - CTD) or do you mean that your PC crashes to the point of having to reboot (i.e. blue screen of death - BSOD)?

I have looked at your XP11 Log.txt file and frankly there is no data available in it that would explain a crash of any sort??

Hi 320ski,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under.

The XP11.40b6 (beta) version you have is well out of date. The beta versions went to 11.40b12. which has now been officially released as XP11.40rc2.

Update your system to the current version to ascertain if your problem still exists.

If it still does then I would also suggest you attach your log.txt file so that others with a greater knowledge base than me may be able to determine what your problem is.

If you don't know how to attach the relevant file have a look at the following link from Greengolfer15 found at https://questions.x-plane.com/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=17830136656522860642

If it isn't a question I don't think it should be here, But rather on the Forums.

They have recently updated the Beach king air C90 and B737 with FMOD Sounds.

So im a Pilot for Delta on their A350. Usually we have the airport charts which include the Airport layout with taxi ways.

But you can always ask for clarification, or a repeat in the real world. Not really sure about X plane.

Your Null zone is too low, Increase it in the "Joystick" Settings tab

Have you lost your sight at some point, or were you born blind?
I'm just curious if a "born-blind" person could process a flight simulator without prior experience.. even IFR..

Sorry i really am just curious

have you tried enabling v-sync in x-plane graphics settings?

If the “Connect” & “Disconnected” you’re referring to are from the VATSIM text dialog box within X-Plane’s screen, then it means you’re not successfully connected to a VATSIM server. In which case, you have no communication link to speak of--it has nothing to do with frequencies. Review the dialog text to see if it includes any message explaining why you’re being disconnected. I assume you have entered your valid VATSIM login ID and password.

The avionics switches are located at the bottom of the panel, next to the pitot heat switch. They are obscured by the yoke - you have to know where to look. I suggest hiding the yoke during startup by clicking on the base of the yoke where it intersects the panel. Now you can see all of the switches and you can easily work your way across to the avionics switches. Once the cockpit check is complete you can click on the base of the yoke to restore the image before taxiing.

Like you, I was stumped until I found this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoOJo1XjdGc

Happy flying!

Answered: Is there a separate control for accessory sounds?

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 16:25:06 +0000

As Greengolfer has found out, there is no separate volume control for individual aircraft component sounds, such as for the flap motors.

Aviation headsets generally have a narrow frequency response, compared to audio headsets. Plus any noise-cancelling feature it may have would probably be counterproductive here. This may be why the flap motors sound appeared reduced.

That said, the L.R. C172 does have its specific sound file “flap.wav” located under its sounds\systems subfolder. You may be able to edit this sound file to increase the volume to see if could help.

Sim says internal-use-only. Can't connect to fltpln.com

When I try to connect to any external apps for moving maps it will not connect. In the left corner of the page it says that it is internal-use-only. How do I change that?

There is a way possible to install X-Plane 11.26r2

Wed, 06 Nov 2019 10:33:02 +0000

Heyyy. I am a user of x-Plane 11 and I am surprised about the sim, is really amazing. But, the problem that I'm having now is that in X-Plane 11.36 I am not very comfortable because my fps are very lower, I have above 10-25 fps. And in X-Plane 11.26 I was with 20-40 fps. So, could someone tell me how to get back to X-Plane 11.26... And this is not impossible because X plane support told me that is possible putting a command, and that one is below here: "X-Plane 11 Installer.exe" --install_name="X-Plane 11.26r2". So, when they wrote that command I was trying lot of times how to do it and don't let me to update. I don't know how to do it in the right way. So, if someone knows better this will be great. Thank you!!!!!
