Hi all ! Kamil, what's your window manager ? There's a nice Phoronix test on how Unity, Compiz, GNOME Shell & KWin affect OpenGL performance: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_managers1&num=1 :'( They didn't test X-Plane, nor X-Plane with the CRJ OpenGL displays, but maybe your system could give you a better experience with a very fast and light window manager. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers You can also try to set the "display performance" to low in the FMC (MCDU MENU), but I'm not sure about the effect of this option. Happy flying !

I just checked inside the default CRJ database (in X-Plane/JRollonPlanes/NavData/wpNavAPT.txt). There's no airport with ICAO code LELA, nor LEIZ. For now I didn't buy the Navigraph update. Be careful with the runway length ! You really want to use these runways with the CRJ ? http://www.the-airport-guide.com/airport.php?airports_id=5869 http://www.the-airport-guide.com/airport.php?airports_id=5867

Hi all ! Today I decided to cross the "180th meridian", so I made a flight from Eareckson Air Station (PASY) to Adak Airport (PADK). Routefinder told me to take this route: PASY DCT WALLT R451 CHIKI DCT PADK. I know, that's very lousy flight planning. But I found several bugs on the navigation display and the HSI on the PFD. As you can see on picture 2, on the PFD, the NAV source was FMS, the course 149, but on the HSI, the arrow was showing a course like 184. So I decided to use only HDG and not NAV for this short flight. Later, on picture 3 you can see that the lines from PASY to WALLT and from WALLT to CHIKI are correct, but the line from CHIKI to PADK is false and is crossing my route... CHIKI's longitude is something like 177.108 degrees east and PADK's longitude is 176.627 degrees west. On picture 6 you can see that I removed WALLT and CHIKI on my flightplan. But the FMS was still unable to draw a correct line between PASY and PADK. The distance on the FMS (234NM) and the heading (85°) were correct. After I crossed the antimeridian, about 120NM from PADK, there was again a line on my navigation display, but this line was east from PADK, far from my route, you can see this on picture 7. I was able to land safely on Adak Airport using the ILS for runway 23 (108.90) but for now you should not trust the FMS for crossing the "180th meridian".

I just made a short flight from Tucson to Safford. ;D

It looks awesome !

Hi all ! Same here ! I decided to rename the old "Uninstall CRJ-200" to "Uninstall CRJ-200.run". Happy flying !

Hi all ! I'm also using GNU/Linux but I did not notice "dotted boxes" on the displays (my latest screenshots are here). I also had stutters when using an old Nvidia driver. The solution for me was to change the Nvidia driver ! I had version 195.36.24 (default Nvidia proprietary driver in Ubuntu 10.04) and I installed version 270.29. :-\ But I guess you all already have a new driver...

Hi David ! Your on NAV1 and you have set the course to 0 (CRS 0)... The course selector is above the "FD" bouton. See the manual page 112 for the course. And see page 145 for the NAV source knob... it should be FMS. Happy flying. 8)

From Las Vegas to Tucson (KLAS SID DRK J11 PXR STAR KTUS) with the CRJ. 8) Happy flying !

;D Thank you for the link ! Very nice interview.

Hi all ! Did you read the news about Air France flight 447 today ? The BEA published a new note: http://www.bea.aero/fr/enquetes/vol.af.447/info27mai2011.en.php In the PDF file, page 3, you can find this: I'm sure most X-Pilot.com members know what should be done to recover from a stall, or you know exactly what's in Chapter 4 of the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, but imagine you're not sure that the aircraft is stalling, what would you do if your hear the stall horn when you push the stick ? :-\ We still have to wait for the final report...

I have the same problem only if I lock the framerate to "half the refresh rate of monitor", that's why I asked. Is your computer very hot when running X-Plane ? What's the temperature of your CPU and GPU ? Are the fans clean ?

Hello ! Are you using a framerate lock "half the refresh rate of monitor" in the X-Plane Rendering Options ? http://wiki.x-plane.com/Chapter_3:_Initial_Flight_Setup#Rendering_Options_Setup

Hi all ! Don't miss FS-Break 90 (from 01:28:40) with Philipp's answer about what they said in FS-Break 89 ! ;D http://www.fsbreak.net/podcast/2011/5/14/fsbreak-90-avsim-fancon-2011-and-more.html And about the CRJ: "Let's get X-Plane to try it !" 8)

Hi all ! AVSIM.com opened the 2011 demographic survey ! Did you already tell them in question 4 that your favorite sim is X-Plane ? http://surveys.avsim.net/ Happy flying !

;D I'm in France, but I'm also using the english locale. So I didn't see this bug.

Hello ! I did not see this in the 1st post from Markus, but now in the openSUSE screenshot, I see Markus is using a german version of openSUSE. Markus, can you please check the value of 'RC_LC_NUMERIC' in '/etc/sysconfig/language' in Fedora and openSUSE ? It looks like a decimal point/comma problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark

8) It looks great, thank you !

Hi Markus ! I had the same problem (minimum frame rate setting = 999 FPS) when I upgraded from X-Plane 9.68 to X-Plane 9.69. Even when flying another plane and removing the resources/plugins/vascore folder, the X-Plane setting went back to 999 FPS, so I don't think it was because of the CRJ. The solution was to remove everthing in my output/preferences folder. http://wiki.x-plane.com/Deleting_the_Preferences Best regards and happy flying ! 8)

Hi ! A new installer is available: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2119 Happy flying.

OK, forget my previous message ! I first made an update from X-Plane 9.68 to 9.69, I reinstalled all the lib32 packages from Synaptic but nothing helped. In the vascore folder, the "ldd lin.xpl" command always gave me this result: ./lin.xpl: /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by ./lin.xpl) linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7723000) libQtCore.so.4 => /home/mdmax/Applications/X-Plane/Resources/plugins/vascore/./liblinux/libQtCore.so.4 (0xf741f000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf73e6000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf72f0000) libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf72ca000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf72ab000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7151000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf713b000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7137000) librt.so.1 => /lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf712e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7724000) So I decided to install a newer version of lib32stdc++ (I took the version from the Ubuntu 11.04 repositories and installed it on my 10.04 system). http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/lib32stdc++6 It worked ! Now I have a lot to learn about the CRJ. Happy flying ! 8)

Hi all ! I also have a X-Plane crash on my system after using the setup-linux-x64 installer: My system is the 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and here's the error from my Log.txt file: dlerror:/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by /home/mdmax/Applications/X-Plane/Resources/plugins/vascore/lin.xpl) Log.txt
