Ya ever get the feeling that the more you do, the more ya need to do?

Thanks for the website located at https://www.togasim.com

Anecdotally, it appears that rain effects are tied to clouds, that is; when flying under cumulus or cumulus nimbus clouds we get rain, no matter what the actual weather is. I can appreciate how hard this phenomena is to fix. Thinking about 1st principle modeling, it has to be tough to model when it rains versus when the clouds are saturated but not raining. My guess is that LR, (Austin Meyers) is thinking about this and trying to figure out a mathematical equation that can be dropped into XP12. We all want weather that is as close to the real world weather as possible. I'm sure that is not lost on Laminar Research. X-Plane 12 is a fantastic program. It's still in its infancy. Even so, it rivals flight simulators with nearly unlimited resources. I can think of a half dozen things that I'd like to see fixed. I'm confident those things will be addressed. In the meantime, I'm enjoying it to the max, even with the current rain effects .

My lesson for today. Thanks!

I'm still clueless. I must install what in the what folder? Is there some documentation somewhere? When it comes to Navigraph, I've never made any tweaks or changes.

Not so much a bug report as a support request. I can't seem to get the NAV DATA to display the current AIRAC. Navigraph advised me to remove and reinstall Navigraph FMS Data Manager. I removed it deleted the folders and rerun it from scratch. The other plane that I fly shows the correct AIRAC, include the 738. I suspect i missed something. Any suggestions?

I know it's early but here is the first thing I'd like to see on the wish list. Make the bump-out window resizable. Actually, not the bump menu, but the window it launches. Awesome aircraft guys.

Fortunately, wipers are not considered required equipment. But no worries, while I can't speak for IXEG I have 100% confidence that they will fix the wipers in an update.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the attention all aircraft barometer announcement? I like it sometimes, but it breaks the immersion. If it can't be turned off, maybe LR will make it an option?

X-plane 12 Public Beta 12.06b7 has been released by Laminar Research. For more information, visit https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-00-release-notes/#Public_Beta_8211_1206b7.

Thanks for clearing that up. My mistake. I guess I won't rush home after all.

Hmmm... I hadn't realized that the XP12 version has dropped. I can't wait to spin up the turbine when I get home in a couple days. Thanks for posting.

TBH, I rarely use the tool. I tend to set trim to some value I can't recall at the moment or just accept the default value. Now that Pan-Aero is on my radar again, I may use it more often. Maybe then I can talk about my experiences by updating this thread.

Trim is generally a function of Weight and Balance. The only simming solution I've found, thanks to FoxTrot Alpha Aviation, is the Pan-Aero weight and balance tool. The tool is specific to the C600/C650. Unfortunately, an Apple product is required to run the tool (i.e. Ipad, Iphone, etc.).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the work you're doing is basically the XP12 port + work. Where the + (plus) is the additional modeling you've talked about. Sometime later, you're going to do a major lift on the project?

Although I don't use all of these, here are some more. Perhaps, you'll find some useful: I’M SAFE – Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion [preflight] CHAPS – Clear (clearing turns), Heading, Altitude, Position (where are you?), Set power [before maneuvering] A TOMATO FLAMES – Altimeter, Tachometer, Oil pressure, Magnetic compass, Airspeed, Temperature (water), Oil temperature, Fuel gauge, Landing gear position, Anticollision lights (strobes), Manifold pressure, ELT, Safety belts. [preflight] FLAPS – Fuses, Landing lights, Anticollision lights (strobes), Position lights (nav lights), Source of electricity (battery, alternator, volts, amps) [preflight] 5 C’s – Cram (full power), Climb, Clean (configure), Cool (temperatures), Call (communicate) [go around] As I discover more I'll add them. Hope y'all find this thread useful.

The Citation X by Laminar Research is my 2nd favorite business/corporate jet (it would be my fav if it was model to the standard of the CL650). I created a C750 checklist that turned out to be rather popular, but nothing compares to the video below: The default Cessna Citation X, by Laminar Research, is worth the purchase price of X-Plane, IMO.

I get an email each time this post is updated. One day, I'm gonna click open that email and it's gonna say, "It's ready. Get it now!" (or something like that).

I can't manipulate the menu items. After clicking on the drop down menu, I invoke the menu that allows the battery to be recharged. For me, it's not clickable. Log.txtLog.txt

I was doing some touch and goes in a single engine piston plane and it dawned on me that I didn't include one of my favorite aids in the list. Forgetting to turn on my landing lights reminded me of this one: GUMPS, or GLUMPS - which I prefer. GUMPS - Gas, Under-carriage, Mixture, Props, Seatbelt GLUMPS - Gas, Lighs, Under-carriage, Mixture, Props, Seatbelt I had to mozy right on over here to include these.

What are some of the mnemonics you use? Below is a list of some of the ones I use CIGAR - Controls, Instruments, Gas, Atitude and Runup (Mainly used in the C172) SLIM - Switches, Lean Ignition, Master (Mainly used in the C172) WARN - Weather, Approach brief, Radios, Navigation (pre-decent nmemonic memory aid) FLT - Flaps Lights, Transponder and/or Trim (after landing) pronounced 'flight' I've seen some cool ones on various sites. Would love to know your favorites.

Sure you can. Seriously though, are you saying we can expect a newer 3D exterior on the B733 (perhaps a dumb question since you just said it ). As for me, I haven't a clue what refactoring the navdata code means. Care to elaborate? Thanks.

Interesting. My guess would be that spell checkers would choke often on code so as long as the syntax works then mispelled words can slip by. As far as sheild goes, I think I've heard Samuel L. Jackson use that term a few times, although no particular movies comes to mind. That might also explain why you want find sheild in English language. Sound too much like the other word. BTW: Did you find the other word I misspelled in this reply?

Favorites for me is a moving target. After a year I can still say my favorite is the Bombardier Challenger 650 by Hot Start. Although the previous poster commented almost 5 years ago, I expect the IXEG 737 Classic to join the list once it's released for XP12. The Cessna Citation X by Laminar Research is also a favorite, even though it is a default aircraft. The depth of system are shallow but enough to provide an immersive experience. Finally, I enjoy the Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise by TOGA. It's a blast to fly.

While I can't presume to speak for the developer it's generally announced on the product page if there will be an X-Plane 12 version. So far, I don't think one has been announced for this plane.
