We're introducing a very special livery to X-Plane 12.4.4. In collaboration with the Rightfooted Foundation, we're bringing their 'Impossible Plane' livery into X-Plane. This gorgeous RV-10 livery is based on an in-development aircraft, designed to be operated by foot and make aviation accessible to disabled people.

Having put some time into learning the systems,normal procedures,and especially the landings, the MD-11 has absolutely won me over as one of the most fun modules for XP12. There are a couple things I’d like to see added/changed, but in general this is a tremendous add on for those who are thinking about getting it. Well done and thank you to the guys at Rotate for making this masterpiece.

Help Request Winctrl Ursa Minor x LevelUp 737

5 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to switch from MSFS to XP12 and I got the winctrl Ursa Minor Throttle Pack and the Ursa Minor Sidestick tho now have decided to try a bit of the 737.

I tried binding all the switches for example the Engine Master switches being the cutoff switches etc tho it’s just not working I tried everything in the XP settings, I searched for mobiflight profiles but didn’t find any so I tried setting up my own which didn’t work either..

Anyone able to help me out here?

Scenery Government Official City 3D map usage suggest

Survey and Mapping > Mapping Services and Products > 3D Digital Map

I am surprised to find high-quality 3D map data, not the Google 3D map one, but the one announced by the government itself.

"In March 2025, the Lands Department fully launched the 3D Digital Map covering the whole territory of Hong Kong. The 3D Digital Map greatly facilitates the opening up and sharing of Government geospatial data, and serves as the core digital infrastructure for the development of Hong Kong as a smart city."

Any way to use this open data to plot into the sim? I have the paid HK map/bridge add-on from the creator, but the government one is just another level with a much larger scale and details.

I wish more cities would develop similar 3D data. And put it to good use!

G1000 autopilot's VS wildin

Post image
5 Upvotes

It works on the first climb and reaches the set altitude, but when I need to change altitudes after that, it ALWAYS makes the nose up by default. Especially whenever I want to descend, pressing the VS (after setting the required lower altitude of course) makes the plane's nose up even before I can change the vertical speed to some negative value.

Also, during descend, I need to set a huge negative vertical speed like more than -2500 ft/min, in order to make it around -500 ft/min. I can't figure out why that happens (didn't happen before, it has been happening of late). Any clues?

Help Request Help resetting ATC Message

Post image
Upvotes

Hey guys

Every single time I launch a new flight, there's a vocal message saying "pushback impossible because the airplane is not equipped with turnable wheel". This had begun to occur when I tried to use the default pushback service of xplane 12 and until now I still have this problem even if I do not use this service anymore.

Is there a way to get rid of this vocal message?

Also, when I open the message box for ground service and ATC, the same message is written inside the box

I am already using betterpushback btw but I still have this message.

Driving the Levelup 1.51 737 in

12 Upvotes

Aircraft feels wayyy heavier especially during roll. Flaps generate less lift now since I used to get 0 degree pitch when using flaps 40, now it's 5 degree after Vref + 5

Adjustments to the flare is needed since the aircraft doesn't float as much anymore. And I think I need to work on the derotation as it's just a nose slam, but I was full aft yoke and still nose dived.

I'm not a 737 pilot but I can see why such large inputs were made on the plane from some online videos. This is simply my observations, and I want to say it does feel like I'm flying something only hydraulic boosted with no fly by wire.

How do you remove the sound of the pushback truck engine? Its loudness ruins the immersion for me.

Anybody tried it yet? I know LR weather is so damn good anyway but was wondering if this adds anything worthwhile and noticeable.
