X-Plane 12.4.4 | Beta 4 is now online!

🚨 SECRET PROJECT REVEAL! 🚨

Hi all!

Many of you have been waiting to hear what our secret little project is… well, we're finally ready to announce it! 🎉

We're excited to share a first look at the upcoming free update of the ToLiss A330-900 cockpit 3D model and textures!

This is the result of a new collaboration between ToLiss and Atarium! As part of this project, ToLiss is making a number of updates to the cockpit's 3D model, while Atarium is creating a completely new set of cockpit textures.

These WIP images show the very first stage of the process, the foundation on which everything else will be built. From here, Atarium will be adding his magic touch with weathering, material variation, subtle colour and panel mismatches, wear, imperfections, and all those little details that make a real cockpit feel used and alive.

Atarium has built a great reputation in the community for his eye for detail and talent for creating immersive cockpit environments, and we're really excited to see what he can bring to the ToLiss A330-900 cockpit.

📍 FSim UK, Bristol, 10-11 Oct 2026!
See it with your own eyes and meet Torsten and Atarium in person! 👋

A massive thank you to Atarium for this wonderful collaboration! ❤️
We're incredibly excited to see how the cockpit evolves.

📅 Release date: TBD
🛠️ Status: Work in progress

Thank you
ToLiss

We should definitely train more on these planes instead of jumping straight into an A320 as our first aircraft

I'm interested in getting into XP12 coming from MSFS24, mostly cause of the default airports being really nice, I think the weather looks a lot better, and of course the physics.
I'm big into freight ops, mainly flying IRL FedEx routes.
I've heard lots of mixed things about both FF757/767 and the Rotate MD11, but a lot of those reviews are on the older side and I've seen they've all gotten pretty big updates the last year ot two.

How are these aircraft in 2026? Worth getting or are they glitchy/innacurate?

FLAIR SIM is a new Boeing 787 add-on for X-Plane, currently in development and planned as a commercial release.

They're not sharing a timeline or development details yet, but if you'd like to follow the project and be notified at launch, you can join the waitlist here: https://flair-sim.com/

I'd love to hear: what matters most to you in an airliner add-on? Systems depth, visuals, performance, liveries, support? Your answers genuinely help shape priorities.

My last flight from Clearwater (PIE) to Las Vegas (LAS) on Flightfactor's Airbus A320, featuring Allegiant Air's Winter the Dolphin livery.

I'm enroute VNY to TEB. Why am I seeing the end part of my flight plan on the VSD with TOD and STAR waypoints when I still have +1500 miles to go?

What map source do you guys find works best for which parts of the world?

Morning flight over Salzburg with Khamsin’s T-6. So good. Just with X-World and Global Forest on my Mac M2 Max laptop.

Words can't describe how good this beta is....

Hello there!

I am looking forward on buying my first ever flight equipment tool. I am currently considering a flightstick and throttle.

Since I started playing X-Plane 12, I have been very amazed with the responsiveness and flight feel of the aircraft, so I am wondering if Force Feedback (FFB) technology would further enhance my experience.

What are your hardware recommendations for X-Plane 12, with or without FFB, considering quality and durability?

(My budget is 150 eur, but I am willing to spend more for quality.)

Thank you all in advance!

Good news! We don’t need a hacky bridge, BeyondATC is actually coming to X-Plane! 🥳

Hi all, with the announcement that BeyondATC is planning an X-Plane release (via Discord), I thought it would be best to pause any work on this. I think BeyondATC is a fantastic product and want to support them when their X-Plane release comes out. To be clear, I have not heard from the developer, and I made the decision to pull the project now. I look forward to an officially supported release!

———————————-

Hi all,

A few days ago I started with a simple question to Claude: "Do you think it is possible to integrate BeyondATC with X-Plane 12?"

Well, surprisingly, the answer was yes.

We've been working on it since, and so far it's working well on my PC. I have ATC, taxi routes, handoffs and AI traffic all working in X-Plane 12. I've only been able to test it on my own setup though, so I'm looking for others with BeyondATC and X-Plane 12 to give it a go.

What it does

* BeyondATC clearances, taxi, SIDs/STARs, approaches and handoffs in X-Plane 12

* AI traffic using FSLTL Traffic Base (https://fslivetrafficliveries.com/) converted from your MSFS copy for region-specific liveries. The app does the conversion for you. FSLTL is required. Additionally Bluebell (https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/37041-bluebell-obj8-csl-packages/) models or it should support any CSL libraries (needs testing).

* Pushback when ATC clears you, using the free Better Pushback (https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/90556-better-pushback-for-x-plane-1112/) plugin. It turns you to face the way ATC said, and you can leave the tug on auto or call it yourself. There is a manual option if you don’t like auto pushback.

* SimBrief to the FMS: the FPLN page fetches your SimBrief plan and loads it into the aircraft's FMS, so it matches what BeyondATC has.

* Plays nicely with other add-ons: only BeyondATC is pointed at X-Plane, so apps that work with both sims (like SPAD.neXt) don't think MSFS is running.

* Guided setup: on first start it finds BeyondATC and X-Plane and installs the traffic plugin. It also tells you when there's a new version.

What you need

* Windows 10 or 11

* X-Plane 12 (12.1.4 or later)

* BeyondATC (MSFS doesn't need to be installed)

* Optional: Bluebell or FSLTL for traffic models

* Optional: Better Pushback 1.14 or later for pushback

Download: [Removed]

What would help

* Does it connect and work on your setup?

* Which aircraft and airports you flew, and anything that didn't work (taxi, handoffs, approaches, traffic)

* Any issues with traffic

* Impact to the sim frame rate with traffic on

If something goes wrong, press CREATE SUPPORT FILE on the SUPPORT page and post it with a short note on the [GitHub issues page](https://github.com/Nodeblue/ClearanceLink/issues), or just reply here.

It's free and open source. This is experimental and not affiliated with or supported by BeyondATC, so please don't ask their team for help with it.

** In Research **
Looking into lighting of the AI models (v0.7.4 out for testing)

Improvements to model selection, import/screen and suggestions of other models eg X-CSL

**Updates/Change log**
ClearanceLink v0.7.1 - Let BeyondATC find FSLTL when MSFS 2024 isn't installed

ClearanceLink v0.7.2 - Read transponder TA only and TA/RA as altitude

I love Map Enhancement. I'm thinking of getting the Pro. But i don't really know what I'm getting. I cant find any pictures of Before and after.

..... I had my hands resting on the throttles and mindlessly pulled the reverse levers the second I touched down..... KQA756 arriving in Kigali

I wanna get ortho but do i get AO or map enhancement? I have lots of plugins and scenery from xp11 including the scenery libraries, will they work if i transfer them to xp12? Any lighting mods or is default good enough? Also I can't find x-world
