hello i just got xplane 11 but i have a problem of sceneries. Can u please help me out on how i can download the global sceneries atleast, maybe europe or usa please....my game is realy limited....en feels like sucking,,....
I just wanted come back to the video that made me get addicted to flight simming… I was a complete beginner when I first watched this video 3 years ago… and now I have more than 2,000 flying hours. Last year, I learned about VatSim and now I am more involved in the flight simming world than I ever imagined. Thank you very much my dear sir. ❤️ Edit: I also watched your complete tutorial on the Zibo 737 back in the day, and that was the first ever aircraft that I completely learned how to fly… I still remember my first full flight… and I can never forget how happy I was after performing my first landing 🥹
Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video. I've been operating with MSFS since 1998 and finally making the switch over to something completely new and different. (mostly for the FlightFactor A350, better sceneries, and performance, IMO). This video is a huge help. Thanks again!
Appreciate the video, I learned about a couple of useful looking mods. However as a beginner the video wasn't as helpful as I'd hoped. It would have been great to see the start to end process of installing/setup the game, selecting a relatively simple plane such as the Cessna and actually showing us the bare minimum controls needed to takeoff and land the plane. I know NOTHING about flying a Cessna, but with a little time, trial and error I was able to be able to take off and land using only knowledge of the controls for brake, throttle, rudder, flaps and trim. As you can see from other recent comments here, a lot of beginners take one look at the complexity of a commercial jet control panel and run away. The Cessna may not be as "cool" but its much more fun to get a plane in the air and safely down again then spending 30 mins looking at settings and control dials.
This is the best tutorial. Thank you for this. If you have the opportunity could you instruct newbies as to how to set up communication with tower please.
I have been using FSX for about 15 years. I downloaded XPlane 11 over a year ago but couldn’t seem to do what I could get from FSX ( with a lot of add ons I might add) and have been wanting to give it another go. So thank you very much for these tutorials etc. It really has inspired my get going with XPlane. I was surprised at some of the choice of add ons available.
I have the latest version of XPlane 11 (have also used FSX in the distant past), and was shocked how incredibly bad the scenery was in some places (specifically the San Francisco bay area). The golden gate bridge , for instance, does not look anything like it looks in the real world (the sim represents it just as a line, not even the arches are there), and the "squarish" and "jagged" textures do not look realistic at all. The bay area is where I live, and also where I typically do my ACTUAL flying in the real world, in a 172M. In the sim, the entire thing looks as if someone had just pasted a few "squares" there. I'm not sure if something is wrong with my XPlane copy or if it is just supposed to be that way! I don't recall the original FSX being this terrible!
I have 2,444.4 hours on FSX steam edition, no telling how many on the original version, and my computer went kuput. I finally got a replacement years later and it came in today. Steam had XP11 on sale for 30 bucks and I've really been wanting to try it.
Thank you so much for this! I currently don't even have.a PC so I'm stuck to Infinite Flight on my iPad... I mean, love it but think it's time I take the next step. This video was very helpful!
You are limited in what can be done on an iPad though, especially when it comes to simulations 🤔. Hope you have managed to get a PC ( I would have suggested a desktop, because you have the advantage of going for a large monitor; mine is 27inches). ?
Great guide. Im new to this, but loving it so much. Been on FSX for years. All those hours didnt prepare me for this lol Now to learn full start procedures so i can fly something besides the L5 😎
Thanks for this. I'm brand new to X Plane and this is the best tutorial I've seen so far. I like your website, too. I Think I'm sub....In fact, I just did....
Fantastic guide, love it! I've been flying Xp11 since its beta and I wish this video existed back then, would have saved me tons of time figuring things out. Also, X-Camera explains a lot why I suddenly lost my camera presets, at the time I started using I saved a bunch of views and took a while to pull them off, and when I started the game after a longtime they suddenly disappeared. They went out of their way to change the free version to force people to buy their premium version.
@@TheFlightSimDeck : Still wondering why it took me this long to try out X-Plane 11 though 🤔. I guess the 'blame' goes to the lure of advertisement. I got the game on steam, a week or so after buying FSX:SE, but I didn't have any controller then, at it was easier to use the keyboard. It less than 2 days of watching your video ( plus hints from a few sources), I was able to do the following; * Install a livery for the default 737-800(I have the ZIBO Mod too). * Start the default 737-800 from 'cold and dark', using the flow from another video that I saw, after watching yours. * Carried out a test flight ( KMCO - KMCO ) at FL5000. The 'Better Pushback' is really handy. I couldn't get the 5th folder ( to update the ZIBO MOD), but I managed to get the ZIBO Updater working. I guess I am going to stick to Boeing on X-Plane 11, and stick with Airbus on FSX: SE 🙂
Senior multi-eng pilot but new to X-Plane11 so this tutorial and your web site are a big help...THANKS. Note: The link to X-Camera, in your recommended plug-ins list, is not working for me.
Thanks. Was going for fs2020 but did not have a 3k gaming computer. Was worried about xplanes scenery, but can see with a bit if work it can be pretty good.
My system (a new build) has an i9 9900K 3.6 GHZ (overclocked to almost 5 GHZ) liquid-cooled processor, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, a GEForce GTX 1080ti 11 GB graphics card, 2 seperate SSD drives, a 500 GB SATA that has Windows 10 Pro and a 1 TB SSD NVME that has X-Plane 11 installed on it. Add-ons tend to take up a lot of space but you'll need them in order to get something that looks decent. With my system I get an average of 35 to 70 FPS and that's with all graphics settings at high or maximum.
Feeling stupid when trying to understand the basics of flight planning, how VOR's working, difference between this and that etc. I need at very good tutorial, and I will look on yours now and see what I need to learn. I want to know how its in real life, and start with the cessna (how to plan a flight with that) and move on to bigger planes. But i do really need to understand the planning and all the things thats incorporated with that.
Rui Silva I tried that too at one point and it was still doing it. It ended up being my zoom level with the camera. I was starting to notice that when I zoomed in past a certain point they would become that way and when I backed up they smoothed out. I’ll try Lua again though. This was a year or two ago.
my first actual flight as i like to challenge myself so i have just come across a situation flying heatheow to Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) and at first wasn't too disasterous missed my vor flighplan somewhat but was cruising ssw at 40000 ft, autopilot was on then the aircraft wouldn't stop pitching upwards think i accidentally pressen the elevator trim, despite me trying to push the nose down desperately... it was just giving me audio warnings ie stickshaker if i of had a device that had ff, anyway managed to resolve the issue... least i thought i had.. again pressed the wrong button configured to a 2nd device.. accidently triggered the mixture to drop and i think all the engines went out....but now for some reason everything went pitch black?, i even tried the nvg's and i still can't see a thing... outside view of aircraft looks like there might be in ice?, but still why should everything go dark? noway i can restart the engines if i can't see.. even the nvg..though it's not night playing in realtime somewhere over France i think. and dawn had broke....yep i'' repeat this was my first flight...p going to try and reload see if the situation is the same.........glitch bug?, surely this isn't meant to happen is it?...i have failures on random but much less % chance than default
at 28 seconds in you begin but I can't get to that point and xplane 11 support only gives help to buy more stuff. is there anywhere I can get to the help I need to get to the settings screen? the data base was no help either.
Great video for a newbie like me. Can you tell me if the ZIBOO mod cann be used on a Mac desktop using Catalina. It seems as though only. Windows users have input.
Can you explain why the Logitech Flight Yoke System does not respond in X-Plane 11.55 running on Windows 10 though the Switch Panel, Radio Panel and the FIP respond just fine in the sim? I have been working on this for weeks and can’t make any positive resolve.
Kai's Aviation Channel if you can give me a week I think this would be an excellent video. I have 5 different yokes/flight sticks I can show and talk about. If you need to know right now I can name a few.
Im Back, wow the varjo aero vr really looks good IN X-PLANE. Im maxed out in msfs with rtx 3090 4.0 cpu ect. and all the tricks and fixes but still jitterery yikes. I tryed ms but really enjoy X-PLANE again
I don't think they offer auto rudder in this one. But they sort of do... I've heard if you unmap the rudder controls XP11 will attempt to do it for you.
New user here..does X Plane have options to set difficulty level, and/or throw in plane malfunctions, to teach how to handle unforseen problems that may arise?
Welcome! There isn’t really any difficultly settings, but it does have a great failure system. You can setup many failures to trigger at certain times, altitudes, or you can assign a button to trigger the failure.
IM DOWNLOADING ALL THE DLC AND ENTIRE GAME FOR FREE h a love it so far will buy it if i like it more cannot justify 10 000 dollars for a game so THE MORE THEY RAISE PRICES MORE WE TORRENT
DylanHK yes check out 13:47. You will need to download xsquawkbox and this will connect you to the Vatsim Network. It’s a network of people flying online and also ATC coverage.
Thanks so much for this excellent video. Very instructive. I’m having trouble getting my simulator to recognize my new joystick however. It currently still only works with my Saitech yolk. Any suggestions ?
Steve Bodine yeah it always favors one or the other. Happens to me when I forget to unplug the stick. I got to rotate on my yoke and get no response. Which is also why it pays to check that before taking off lol.
I'd recommend rudder pedals or a flight stick that swivels right to left. www.amazon.com/Extreme-3D-Pro-Joystick-Windows/dp/B00009OY9U/ref=asc_df_B00009OY9U/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242012519199&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15173354533938594237&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9051519&hvtargid=aud-800640527683:pla-365326647739&psc=1
You got it man! Oh btw remember that landing contest we had last time we spoke? Well, as I was on short final a small plane was in the area crossing in front of me so I went around and then the sim crashed on the crosswind leg 🤦♂️

I am maybe gonna buy X-Plane 11 and swift from Infinite flight to X-plane 11.
can you use a game pad on the PC such as Box or similar?
Yes it will work with a controller.
THX
So I have a question. Is there like an online mode, or global mode, where you play with others + ATC? Or is it exclusively solo?
DylanHK yes check out 13:47. You will need to download xsquawkbox and this will connect you to the Vatsim Network. It’s a network of people flying online and also ATC coverage.
do we need the plane joystick or can we use mouse and keyboard or an xbox controller?
Midhann Ahuja you can use mouse keyboard and Xbox controller. Best with a stick, but those work too.
Thanks so much for this excellent video. Very instructive. I’m having trouble getting my simulator to recognize my new joystick however. It currently still only works with my Saitech yolk. Any suggestions ?
Steve Bodine thank you! Is the Saitek still plugged in? It only lets you use one at a time.
So if I disconnect the yoke the joystick should work? Thanks I’ll give it a try. Thanks again for your great 👍 video
Steve Bodine yeah it always favors one or the other. Happens to me when I forget to unplug the stick. I got to rotate on my yoke and get no response. Which is also why it pays to check that before taking off lol.
Why is the control panel in the 172 so dark? I can’t find anyway to lighten it up. Any suggestions?
There are some light knobs above the trim wheel that might brighten it a bit.
What do you recommend for that airplane steering wheel or what it's called there. And what else do you need for it there
I'd recommend rudder pedals or a flight stick that swivels right to left.

Thanks this helped a lot 👍
I've seen in various reviews that in installation there is no "key". That to use X plane you have to put disc 1 in the disc drive. Is this true?
Thanks for this, I'm gonna need this later on
You got it man! Oh btw remember that landing contest we had last time we spoke? Well, as I was on short final a small plane was in the area crossing in front of me so I went around and then the sim crashed on the crosswind leg 🤦♂️
@@TheFlightSimDeck oh no :0. We need to do it again in like a group flight or something. You should organize one for your livestream
@@TheFlightSimDeck my SIM crashed over the Atlantic near the south American continent
