Crash Fixing, Airports, Photometric Lighting
Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the 146 Professional for X-Plane 11. This all-new and highly detailed simulation of the 146 regional jet has been developed after comprehensive, hands-on research with the real-life aircraft, G-JEAO, which retired from service with British European Airways in 2000 and is now preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum,.

These are the Starters Controls for X Plane 11 and also X Plane 10. 1st Engage Starter – CTRL + 1. 2nd Engage Starter – CTRL + 2. 3rd Engage Starter – CTRL + 3. 4th Engage Starter – CTRL + 4. 5th Engage Starter – CTRL + 5. 6th Engage Starter – CTRL + 6.
We're focusing almost all of our effort on future technology, butStairport reported a bug severe enough that we went for a patch:X-Plane would randomly crash when plugins use the new 'instancing'drawing APIs.
The instancing APIs are the Vulkan-compatible way to draw objectsfrom plugins, the way to add particle effects via plugins, and willsomeday support sound as well. Simply put, instancing is meant to bethe foundation for plugin-created dynamic content. Third parties did agreat job of switching to instancing to be Vulkan compatible when wereleased X-Plane 11.50, so having this API be rock-solid is reallyimportant.
With X-Plane 11.55, correctly written add-ons should 'just work.'The interaction between instancing and datarefs does sometimes confusedevelopers, so I'll cover that in some nerdy detail in a futurepost.
The Latest Gateway Airports
While we were cutting a hot patch, we took another set of airportsfrom the X-Plane Airport Scenery Gateway - 11.55 features over 1000new 3D airports and 443 brand new airports. I remain amazed at theGateway community's progress and results.
What Is Photometric Rendering
I'm excited to finally be able to talk about something I've beenworking on for a while now - the new photometric lightingpipeline. Here's the preview video Chris and Thomson made:
X-Plane has always been the professionals choice for a flight simulation package. However, over the past few years - X-Plane has become more popular with the 'general' flight simulator user, the user that flies at home on his PC or Mac. The last few versions of X-Plane have been marketed towards general users and it is becoming increasingly popular within the flight simulation community.

X-plane 11 50
With the increase in popularity, freeware developers have started creating add-ons such as aircraft and scenery packages for X-Plane. X-Plane is said to be more realistic in terms of flight dynamics than any of the Microsoft Flight Simulator packages, mainly because of the way X-Plane gives flight to aircraft models.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator, aircraft models are all similar with a simple configuration file to provide simple flight dynamics, while in X-Plane, aircraft shapes, sizes and weights are taken into consideration in the simulation - giving more realistic flight.
X-plane 11 Manual
While there are not as many add-on packages and downloads for X-Plane as there is for the Microsoft Flight simulators, this is a growing section and it's becoming increasingly popular.
Featured in this section are many aircraft, vehicles, helicopters and scenery expansions for X-Plane, all available for download with your Fly Away Simulation account. Why not try X-Plane today? You can get your hands on the free demo here.
X-plane 11.55
Perhaps you're already an avid X-Plane user, if so - you're sure to find a home here. You can visit our X-Plane 11 discussion forum for discussion topics, and you don't even have to become a member to post. You will be pleased to know that we have recently reviewed the latest X-Plane 11 for our readers. You can read the review here.
X-plane 11 Plugins
You will also be keen to know that most (if not all) of the X-Plane 10 add-ons also with in X-Plane version 11. So if you find anything that specifies XP10, it should work in your new copy of XP11 too.
