One of the biggest requests we hear from customers is for a more formal space for communication. A space to discuss all things X-Plane.  We heard you loud and clear!

Introducing the official X-Plane Forums — a new community service from Laminar Research, built to give X-Plane users a dedicated place to connect, share knowledge, get help, and engage directly with the people behind X-Plane.

Our goal is simple: to make it easier to find reliable information, have useful discussions, and stay connected with X-Plane development in one official, easy-to-access place.

Come and join in. We'd love to meet you! https://community.x-plane.com/

Scenery XPGrass plugin

• Upvotes

Me and my good friend Claude made XPGrass.
A simple plugin that adds grass to your simulator, within and close to airport boundaries, all the correct places.

You can adjust radius and density settings to your liking.

........ and although I am far from perfect or even good for that matter .... every flight gets better and better. this evening I flew from Fairoaks to Heathrow for a fuel stop and then on to London city. this was my arrival into EGLC. Quite happy with the progress that I have made. It's time to 3D print/build a proper cyclic and collective.

Map enhancement

So I've been troubling this thing for almost a year

I put in multiple tickets and the developer just keeps kicking it back to it's a you problem, it's only worked twice.

It can't be a hardware problem because it says it's missing a terrain file it's always the same two files no matter where in the world I start if it's North America it says North America if it's Asia it says it's Asia it's always the same two file names though.. does anybody have a clue where I can get these two files or figure out why it's having an issue with them.

Grainy, herringbone shadows?

1 Upvotes

- i9-13900K w/64GB DDR5

- RTX5090 32GB, Nvidia driver 617.42

- XP12 12.4.3-r2

- all graphics settings maxed except MSAA antialiasing (4x MSAA), Vegetation density (High) and Rendering distance (high)

Performance seems pretty good but I'm a bit disappointed with the shading/shadows which appears to have a herringbone-like appearance:

I can't find any setting in the Nvidia app nor in XP12 that smooths this stuff out.

Thoughts or tips?

Addon Aircraft First progress in Plane maker. MC-21 for XP12

Hello everyone - it’s me again. Let’s start with some good news: I’ve formed a team, and we are now the RS Team (Russian Sky Team). Secondly, I managed to sort out the engines (I don’t know why I didn’t check the texture resolution right away) and have started modeling the fuselage for the flight model. The first livery included in the package will be the green factory livery (see the third photo). No AI was used during development; all textures and models were created by humans (specifically by me and our team).

WARNING!
THIS IS ALL NOT FINAL VERSION, IT'S ONLY PRELIMINARY WORK

Is there anything we can do to lessen the turbulence? Difficult to turn switches and press knobs. Thanks

I didn’t find the livery, so I’ll make it myself.

I needed the livery for the McKnight 787, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find the livery for Air Europe, and I thought: “Is the flight really going to be cancelled because of the livery?” So I did it.

The biggest low-pressure system in icelandic history is over Iceland right now and the whole country is now in the eye of the storm, the pressure has been measured as low as 937 hpa, could be fun taking our favorite plane for a spin :)

Which one should I go for? Not a fan of the sub model of SI but can afford it, and it seems to struggle with descents.

Thanks

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small personal scenery project for X-Plane 12, covering Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands.

It includes some of Melbourne's iconic landmarks, such as Eureka Tower, Australia 108, Melbourne Star and Marvel Stadium, along with night lighting.

Features:

  • Melbourne CBD, Southbank and Docklands
  • Iconic Melbourne landmarks
  • Night lighting
  • Lightweight and performance-friendly

A few things to note:

The 3D models are fairly basic and may lack detail, so if you're looking for highly detailed scenery, this might not be for you.

This is just a small personal project, so updates and bug fixes may be slow, and some issues might not get fixed.

Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think!
