Re: AI traffic for XP11?

I downloaded a free AI traffic plugin called "LiveTraffic" but disabled it because I was getting too much traffic at some airports, so there was no place to park. Too many scenery designers don't leave enough free paring spots in their airport scenery. I have created my on AI traffic from ...

Re: Long range airliner options?

This is a great aircraft, and a good price. I paid full price when it came out. I do most of my long hauls with this.

Re: Long range airliner options?

Yes, the Weight and balance estimate for flying hours is way off. I plugged the 747-400 into the simbrief flight plan I just used for my flight from Dubai to EHAM. Simbrief says it is 6.5 flight hours. Using the same fuel load in the X-Plane calculator I come up with about 4.5 hours. If that flight ...

I just completed a 2-leg flight of approximately 6.5 hours each: WSSS > OMDB > EHAM with the 747-8F. Are you flying a scheduled rou...

Re: Threshold LevelUp Releases 737NG Series

I have made quite a few flights these past few weeks with the Threshold Boeing 737NG aircraft and am very pleased with them. Prior to their release I was using their previous 737-900, which was "ok" but had issues. I gave up on the Zibo a long time ago, and the default 737 was pretty bad. ...

Free Metroliner III for X-Plane 11

The X-Plane.org forum download section has a superbly done Fairchild Metroliner III for free. Since we have a Metroliner in our fleet, picking this one up is a no-brainer. I haven't had a chance to fly it yet, but it has 51 reviews with 5-1/2 star ratings. Here is the link: https://forums.x-plane.or...
