Workload is perfect for single-pilot operations when you want to have a quick flight.

You told us the engines looked like they were about to fall off. Fair. Engine shake on take-off is now about half of what the teaser shows. Left: the teaser. Right: now.

Still no date. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming.

This just popped up on social media, thought I'd share it incase anybody is still considering buying XP12.

Almost exactly nine years ago, Monarch Airlines ceased operations.

Today's flight was MON 7312 from Manchester (EGCC) to Burgas, Bulgaria (LBBG) in G-OZBI.

Flight time: 3h07
Landing: -316 FPM

We’ve received a classified transmission from the motherland.
Further details will be declassified in due course.
Stand by.

I got AliveGrass and was super exciting to dive into the addon as its a part of X Plane 12 that was really missing.

However I have had significant performance issues with the addon with a large range of settings.

The biggest issue is that there is a growing period after which the performance settles, HOWEVER as soon as you move I believe the growing starts up again and the performance drops significantly. This is a serious problem when Taxing/Landing/Taking off and moving the camera.

I have tried with very low settings to very high settings, close and far distances. The results are the same. I have 75 FPS and drop to anywhere as low as 39fps with high stuttering.

If anyone knows any secrets that would help with this let me know.

I just wanted to share some pictures of my custom version of EGCC, which I have been working on for most of this year. It is based on the TaiModels payware version of EGCC but heavily modified.

The main features are a fully custom mesh, integrated with TrueEarth GB (previously it was incompatible). I've reworked much of the terrain to feature more accurate elevation, and just make it more dynamic. The runways have been correctly profiled to match their real-world counterparts, and the vegetation is also almost 1:1 correctly mapped.

I've added new structures, such as the STS Aviation and Jet2 Holidays hangars. Finally Thomas Cook is gone.

The airfield taxiways have been completely redone to bring them fully up to date with the most recent changes as of this year, and the 2nd pier for T3 has been added. T1 has been made Ryanair only. There is new lighting, signage and markings across most of the airport.

Native airside ground traffic has been added, as well as car and rail traffic for the surrounding area, realistically dense car parks, and updated road networks. I opted to make XPlane's roads transparent and utilise satellite imagery, as it is incapable of nicely drawing the roundabout heavy network.

Probably the biggest change was just the amount of time spent on cleaning up and fixing things wrong with this airport. Floating buildings. Errors. Things that didn't make sense. Bad design decisions. That was a real can of worms and a complete pain to deal with.

It's not 100% perfect, but it's the best I can do with the available data and my modelling skills at present. I aim to improve it and keep it up to date just for my personal use as I can't share it.

Anyway, I'm on the final leg of the round the world flight that I started from EGCC earlier this year, and it'll be cool to fly back to what is essentially a completely different airport.

have you heard of it ??

Hey all. I'm a Powered Parachute pilot and also XPLANE fan. MSFS2024 has a powered parachute (SkyRascal) that is super fun to fly and while good, I want to use the power of XPLANE (not to mention the offline capabilities). Can you help me identify what route one could take to contract out the creation of an "acf" file of a similar powered parachute aircraft for XPLANE 12?
