Hi! I am terrible with computers. I got my dad the below setup with xplane 12 for Father’s Day. What settings should I use for best resolution/flow?

Thank you very much in advance!

Specifications:
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB Graphics
• 500GB SSD
• Windows 11

Almost completed : need to add the registration on the engine and wings, align some textures in the tail section of the aircraft (the most annoying part), add the "Tu-134A-3" sticker and make sure that everything is correct.

We started today the R&D phase. We want to thank the community for the great support which helps us to continue our journey expanding the CIS Series Piper fleet.

Hi, I’m using a PSVR2 on PC through SteamVR.

When playing X- Plane 12 I’m seeing severe reprojection artifacts around cockpit instruments and other high-contrast edges. I’ve attached a through-the-lens video of the artifacts and another video showing the SteamVR performance graph.

The strange part is that the frame time constantly moves between roughly 8.6 and 12.2 ms, even while I’m completely still and the scene doesn’t appear to be changing. At 90 Hz the frame budget is 11.1 ms, so it keeps crossing the limit and triggering distortion.

Reducing the resolution eventually fixes it, but I have to lower it to around 50%, which looks terrible. The recordings were taken at approximately 90% resolution.

Other VR games run fine on this PC and don’t show the same frame-time fluctuations or reprojection artifacts. So far, this only seems to happen with X-Plane 12.

My specs:

• Intel i7-10700K
• RTX 4070
• 32 GB RAM
• PSVR2
• SteamVR at 90 Hz

Has anyone seen this kind of rapid frame-time fluctuation before?

I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Looking at the Axair MIAP 24 and the Wingflex DAP 500 as they both look like good autopilot peripheral options. Only problem is, every review I'm seeing online is tied with MSFS. Do any of you have either of these, and if so, what are your thoughts and/or experience with it? Additional question with either, can they be completely configured with the x-plane controller settings/setup menu or do I need to use a different program like mobiflight?

Lastly, if any of you use something different than those two and like it, I'm always open to other options. Thanks!

Access to Little Navmap has been denied for several days now. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

Some seemed offended by my original post on the subject claiming I was blaming Map Enhancement. I do not intend to blame anyone or know what the cause is. I am only interested in getting it to work again. In my opinion, Map Enhancement and Little Navmap are exceptional.

It's a very simple livery but hey, I'm still learning ;)

Hey everyone,

I've been a sim pilot for a while and remember how overwhelming it was to learn procedures — hunting through 3-hour YouTube videos just to figure out how to set up the MCDU or do a proper takeoff in the A330. I’m working on a new website to fix that.

The Idea:

• Free, modular lessons tailored to what you want to learn (cold & dark start, autopilot setup, takeoff/landing, emergencies, full deep dives).
• Pick your sim (MSFS 2024/2020, X-Plane, etc.) and realism level.
• Interactive + PDF checklists for every aircraft (commercial, GA, fighters).
• Ad-supported so it stays free (watch a short ad for PDF downloads).

It will cover everything from beginner basics to study-level procedures, with clear steps, screenshots, and tips specific to each sim.

I need your help:

• What features would you actually use?
• Which aircraft should I prioritize first? (A320 family, 737, A330, Cessna, fighters?)
• Any pain points from your learning experience I should solve?
• Would you use interactive web checklists or prefer downloadable PDFs?
• Ideas for monetization that don’t suck (ad-free options, etc.)?

I’ll be generating content with AI assistance and aiming for an MVP soon. Any feedback, suggestions, or even offers to help verify procedures would be awesome!

Thanks for reading — can’t wait to hear what the community thinks! ✈️

(Mods: Hope this is okay — it’s a community-driven educational project.)

Been over a year without touching the 757, do you guys still use it? also whats the mods now days you guys using to make it better? thanks

Can anybody explain how to create an account on x pilot?
I can’t seem to find a create an account option anywhere only an option to sign in if I already have an account.

Hey all,

I just put out the second video in my Airbus Flight Sim Class series, this time covering go-around procedures on the A320.

I'm a type-rated A320 First Officer, so I tried to build it the way I actually think about go-arounds on the line, then adapt it for the sim. It runs through when a go-around is required (unstable approach, loss of visual reference, ATC, performance and so on), how to fly each variation (standard, soft, high-energy, discontinued approach, rejected landing), and finishes with threat and error management.

It's aimed at simmers who want to go past just pushing thrust levers to TOGA. Recorded with Toliss, Fenix and FS Labs

Fair warning, it's about 50 minutes, so grab a coffee. Would love any feedback, and happy to answer questions in the comments.

I am trying to use the Xworks A330-neo but for some reason there is a green grid around everything and the pressure is set very very very high so does anyone have the files or some way to fix this?

I am using a scenery called "Wonderful Kai Tak (Jets Over Kowloon: A Lost Era)", after this flight, i did the same approach with rotate md-11, i entered the igs frequency and course to the fmc, the igs signal never got alive and because of that the appr mode got never armed, i flew the approach procedure based on chart like i did on felis 747, it worked well on felis tho.

Recently picked this up & am not sure what's going on with the gauge resolution:

Most of the other ones are pretty sharp.

Any ideas?
