You appear to be implying that is pointless which breaks the realism in a fairly big way. Literally I have xplane set to real world weather so don't follow why that weather would be different in any way to what PE ATC would be using ? Getting the ATIS is not pointless but you do have to understand ...

Don't discount the possibility the problem is related to not enough USB power. After all there is a limit to how many devices that can be plugged into a single USB. In my case, I needed to add an external power supply to my Saitek yoke, and dual throttles. One way to test is by using a separate USB ...

Hi All, I was trying to fly the I4 this afternoon, from KSNA to KSDM. The route I found was V23 MZB. I was given vectors to join the V23 airway, and made the assumption that flying direct to MZB via FSXPilot's GPS would be acceptable. Just wondering. What was the Last instruction that ATC gave you?...

I am having a TON of issues with XP11 and PE. I'm of the opinion the problem has to do with the updated electrical buss model used in XP11. For your airplane look at the DC buss voltage and amps. If the battery is not charging, the battery will drain. When the battery drains, PE will "simulate&...

May I recommend solving one of the problems by updating your AirNav data base? It's easy and cheap to get a one time download 'NavDataPro - Single dataset'. As a sim only pilot I usually re-update my sim every year to 1.5 years or when I run across an out dated procedure. In my opinion the Aerosoft ...

I have been testing XP11 and my impression of the view out the window is WOW! It's soooooooo much different flying VFR than XP10. MUCH harder to find land marks, roads, railroad tracks, and power lines. Especially when clouds, fog, early morning sun, or late afternoon sun is present. To anyone that ...

+1 on testing with default aircraft. Doesn't this user also have a very "special" audio/sound set up with an external sound card and other unusual audio software? I wonder what would happen if a separate USB headset and mic were used. Then the PE plugin modified to use these USB devices th...

I have previously helped a PE user with a plugin problem. It turned out that the plugin couldn't support directory names that were toooooooooooooooooo long. The work around involved moving the X-plane root from the desktop to the root of the hard disk. Once the full directory path was shorter it wor...

There are plenty of us using x-plane with no add'ons at all except aircraft.

I have been trying XP11 and found the VFR experience very different!

At the risk of "piling on". You yourself noted that the runway layout did NOT match what you were expecting. But the approach was continued <listen to that little voice>. What about asking for ATC help BEFORE landing? Should you have also reported to the tower controller that you were actu...
