Beechcraft King Air C90B - left condition lever won't move with mouse drag

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:42:08 +0000

Could you guys test this, if its just me, or is this a bug in the code? In the King Air C90B as I load in I can drag the left condition (fuel mixture) lever up and down, however, when I touch the right lever and move it, the left one stops and never works again (with the mouse). Or it might happen over time, don't really know, but the left lever stops working a few minutes in. However! The lever does work with a joystick/quadrant input. The problem is that I don't have enough levers on my quadrant to bind :/

Reality GTN XP650 RNAV glideslope on Airmanager CDI

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:18:00 +0000

I have a airmanager panel set up with a Reality gtn650 and a GI106 cdi. The glideslope works fine for an ILS but will not for an LPV. Is it a setting or is the GI106 within Airmanager not able to receive the RNAV GS data?

The C172 panel in XP12 which runs from a 530 does display correctly, just not the one in AM. I've spent DAYs trying to get it to work. it can't be a unique problem.

Thank you

WED 2.7.1 will not run on this iMac

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:03:34 +0000

Up until WED 2.7.0and 2.7.1 reared their heads I have had no issue running up to WED 2.6.

Now I get an error message saying WED cannot be run on this iMac.

Main machine is a late 2015 27" i5 INtel with 32G ram. I have now tried it on an 2020 27" 17 10700 iMac 16GB RAM with the same result.

This is nuts.

Anyone know what I need to do to remedy this issue please?
I have posted in the Scenery Dev forum and emailed support@x-plane.com but with no responses.

Xplane ITT. How

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 05:49:39 +0000

I have noticed that there was a post on this before. It came about because being fiddling with Lear 35. From all the videos I have seeing, low idle ITT should be around 400C but the default is about 150. High idle seems about right. Also from what I have read, without some really smart maths you cant adjust it in planemaker, so again how does xplane determine ITT, I believe it uses. a whole bunch of parameters, altitude etc etc but does every addon really need smart maths for it to be right

CachyOS, no dual monitor detected

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:44:16 +0000

I have installed CachyOS as one of several Linux distros I boot into, and I cannot get X-Plane 12 to recognize that I have dual monitors. My system:

Operating System: CachyOS Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.25.0
Qt Version: 6.11.0
Kernel Version: 6.19.12-1-cachyos (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 32 × Intel® Core™ i9-14900F
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
Manufacturer: Alienware
Product Name: Alienware Aurora R16

xrandr --listactivemonitors
Monitors: 2
0: +*DP-1 1920/698x1080/393+1920+0 DP-1
1: +HDMI-A-1 1920/697x1080/392+0+0 HDMI-A-1

On the settings-Graphics page it only shows the one monitor, not two.

I have scoured the web to find answers. I have tried everything:

Using the -monitor-bounds= command line option did not work
Disabling or forcing zink did not work
Booting into X-11 instead of Wayland did not work
Booting into Cinnamon instead of KDE Plasma did not work
Changing Nvidia drivers to 580 from 595 did not work.
Altering the /output/preferences/X-Plane Windows Positions.prf file did not work.
Deleting the /output/preferences/gfx_zink.prk file did not work
Updating Cachyos did not work.

I also boot into Linux Mint Cinnamon. It works fine there. So why not just use that? CachyOS is designed for game play and is overall more up-to-date. Maybe too much, as this glitch shows. The better performance I'll get on CachyOS should make it worth it. But being unable to use multiple monitors makes it not.

I am not using this through the Steam engine. Why pay another $60? Can I download a trial version just to see if it will work through Steam? Doesn't look like it. I could spend the $60 and find out it doesn't work either.
Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

SF50 G1000 FMS Bug

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:02:10 +0000

The approach waypoints for the KELP RNAV (RNP) Z Rwy 26L get removed from the FMS when selecting Vector-to-Final or selecting direct to HOWRD FAF. Only rwy and MAP remain while the other waypoints disappear.

better pushback and flywithluca - i see no plan with PB and other problems

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:32:25 +0000

I updated Pushback to version 1.12 today. I can hear everything and the tug connects, but I can’t plan a route because the relevant menu doesn’t appear. Even when I select the ‘Settings’ sub-menu via the X-Plane plugin menu, the settings aren’t displayed. Is there something else missing from the installation? I had completely deleted the old version because I was experiencing crashes with X-Plane. Then I added the new version under ‘Plugins’. However, it was a different old plugin, which I have now removed. I also deleted FlyWithLuca and added a new version. Unfortunately, this isn’t showing up at all in the plugin menu in X-Plane.

I use X-Plane 12.4.1-r1

Random CTD

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:19:23 +0000

Hi.

Up until now I had always flown XP12 with no CTD but in the past few days I've been having CTD over specific points. What I've done so far to narrow it down is to clean of outdated/unused plugins, update drivers and check windows event in case there was an error there but found none related to the simulator.

I am uploading the log file in case any of you can find something that helps.

Thank you very much.

Does anything from X-plane 11 work in 12?

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 17:28:32 +0000

Good morning all, I am having difficulty in getting my many scenery add-ons (among many things) purchased from the .org store to install in 12. Example: In the store it shows that the FLYTAMPA KLAS airport is for both 11 and 12, however, when I try to redownload to my computer from the store, it wont let me choose the drive where x-plane is. It insists on drive C, but x-plane in not on drive C. No matter what I try it wont let me re-download. At this point, nothing of the hundreds and hundreds of dollars I spent on 11 work on 12. No scenery, no SAM jetways, no airport traffic, nor most of my aircraft. I am at myself for deleting X-plane 11 before finding this out or I would just delete 12. Not even the hotstart 650 I just spent a buttload of money on 2 months ago works! I need advice on where to go for help. I have searched the forums for this and other things like jetways inop but cant find any answers. This is a last resort. TIA

AOA/AIRSPEED change in plane maker

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 16:28:09 +0000

With the default F-4,I find the AOA indexer is set too slow. With 2000lb of fuel and no weapons, the indexer changes from slightly fast to green at about 138kts. I find that too slow and the aircraft becomes unstable. How would I change the indexer in relation to airspeed?

TDS GTNXi for TorqueSim C525 not working

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:01:48 +0000

Hi everyone,

I just bought X-Plane 12, the TorqueSim C525 and the TDS GTNXi, unfortunately the GTN does not turn on (black display). The Aviation Trainer v3.10.3.0 (recommended) is installed as well as v1.0.1.3 for X-Plane. The Garmin Trainer works, I only get the message below (offline trainer already installed, but I don't find it anywhere) - I tried deleting and re-installing several times (maybe I overlooked something)

I tried to research the problem, but either it's obvious (turn the avionic master on) or I don't understand a thing that's written... I'm 40 years old and never played a PC game in my life (just a commercial pilot that now doesn't fly the type anymore and wants to keep up the procedures and muscle memories) so please be kind and very detailed in your feedback

Many Thanks!

OMDB - Using XP Map Enhancement

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 09:08:41 +0000

Uploading Attachment...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to test out the new OMDB airport in the 12.3 beta but when I use XP Map Enhancement (Pro) with any map version, I have the following image with sloped runway and terrain around the airport. Without XPME it works fine but I need it for my flights. I have Simheaven and XPME. And they are placed in correct (?) order . With XPME at the bottom of the packs.ini and Simheaven above it and both below GLOBAL AIRPORTs.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dan

Better Pushback Error Message "Pushback Failure. Error Initializing Audio Messages"

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 21:30:39 +0000

Hi Everyone,

For about a month now, I have been getting an erorr message from BPB that says "Pushback Failure. Error Initializing Better Pushback. Please reinstall Better Pushback." Naturally, I deleted and reinstalled BPB. That didn't work. I tried to update X-Plane. That didn't work. I tried rolling back to a previous version of BPB. No luck. I have tried different airports, different airplanes etc. Still, nothing seems to work. It's getting to be more than I am qualified to handle and I can't find anything out there about people being able to fix the same issue. Any help is appreciated. FYI - I am on XP12, and I have the new Fork Version of BPB V1.10

Thanks in advance,

How to remove all trees?

Hi there!

How can I remove all trees?

Is there a configuration file? Or can the goal be accomplished by deleting certain files? If so, which ones?

Thanks a lot for your help.

737 800 Baro settings

Thu, 18 May 2023 08:25:28 +0000

Hello all,

A simple question: I have found the switch in the default 737 800 where you set the barometer. I can see the change in the little backup EADI/HSI but not elsewhere? I can't see there that it switches between IN and HPA??

Navigation flight lessons freeze

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 16:36:46 +0000

Bought this sim a couple of days ago and been testing it out. No problems so far but when loading the flight lessons under Navigation ( I have two there) they start in a frozen state and no matter what i click on or do im unable to get the sim going. And just as the sim loads and the cockpit is shown i hear this squeeky noise as if sound just stop. It's like a couple of milliseconds of static and then silence :)

I click skip (skip is shown sometimes) / continue. Hit P to try to unpause, click pretty much everything. Panning around in the cockpit still works, and clicking on instrument panels work.

Any ideas as to what might cause this?

Default A330 screen blinking

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:35:08 +0000

Hi, all. I tried the default A330 a few times recently and have a bad flickering for some reason. I'm guessing I'll have to take some time to remove plugins and try a Vanilla install, but this doesn't happen on other aircraft. I usually use Toliss A320, Thranda PC-12 and Trinidad and don't have this issue with those. Nvidia drivers are up to date as of about 1.5 months ago. I tried turning off FXAA based on a google result and that didn't do anything either. Any suggestions before I start pulling plugin's out of the install? Thanks in advance!

The flickering also happens while in the graphics menu or flight configuration menus, but it's only the background. The menus appear to operate normally. Maybe there's a bad key assignment and it's trying to relocate views? I'll work on that angle in the meantime.

Anisotropic filtering menu

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:58:33 +0000

In my Settings.txt I notice that the AF menu should now go up to x32. In XP12.4.2b I'm still only seeing a graphics menu AF slider that goes up to x16

Does this mean the settings.txt is not being read correctly?
