Its amazing to hear you mention Sublogic. I used to be one of a group of users that did pre-release testing on their scenery disks. Still have all the complementary ones :)
Was only just born about then myself when the first one ever came out, started using 5.1 was when I started never stopped (is or are lol probably about 3 editions I had no idea about had been released since 5.1.
My biggest barrier is building a current flight sim rig that supports VR. It seems most of the stuff out there is generic VR rigs without taking into consideration flight sim. A hardware video would be a huge help. Like how much RAM is needed, etc. I found your setting and 1080 Ti video helpful. Thanks!
"generic VR rigs without taking into consideration flight sim. "??? any pc with a i5-i7 processor with a 1070-1080 GTX for GPU and 8-16 or more RAM is enough for Flight sim. If you want a good pc just build a high end pc, you dont need anything special for flight sim, your issue is VR, build a high end pc for VR. Flight sim is unrelated to building a pc.
@0:31 wow, was that pic a blast from the past! I had that package, and i just found it in my mom's attic after we cleaned out their house. It's amazing how far things have come...
I flew real Cessna 172s. They are the gold standard for flight training from private pilot to instrument rating to cfi. It is an amazing plane and the most mass produced plane ever. This is excellent advice!
Oh yeah? I've been flying flight sim since commodore 64 days! LOL. Great to see a veteran on here. I'm about to embark on my xplane 11 journey as soon as HP finishes building my gaming rig. Been confined to fsx since forever. Thanks for this beginners guide.
Glad I discovered your channel in my search for info on X-plane 11. I fly P3D for a couple of years but considering to make te switch to X-plane 11. Your video stands out among the many videos found on YT. Simple and clear explaination, clear voice with good audio quality. Gonna check out your other contributions to the sim world. A big thumbs up from the Netherlands !!!
X-Plane 12 is coming in about 2 to 3 years and when it does it WILL HAVE VOX ATC I ask them about this just the other day. Good Stuff. Good Stuff. This will help me and others with our real world ATC.
As to SubLogic... ME TOO... A2-FS1 in 1981. I also have had X-Plane versions 5, 8, 9, 10, and now 11 but never managed to get into earlier versions but I am determined to master 11. Thanks for your insight! :)
Yep. I remember FSII. I had it on the old Atari XEGS and ST back in the late 1980s (1987-ish). I like X-Plane. I like flying the Junkers JU52 and sometimes DC3 (C47 Skytrain).
Just to let you know that was the best intro video I've seen. Like you I've been Flight Simming sense the Sub Logic days. I'm turning 80yrs this Oct. Got all my Ratings. Even built my own Ultra Light Icarus IIB. Regular Flying got way to expensive so I turned to Flight Simming. Wished I would have started with X Plane 11 sooner. Learning how to operate Has been a challenge. The main challenge, right now, was nose wheel steering in the C172 . Getting it properly assigned so it will operate correctly. I think I have it now. Looking forward to watching your tutorials to get the most out of X Plane 11. I'm checking out the best Rudder Pedals for this sim. Keep up the great work.
@h lender thanks for your kind words. pretty cool that you built your own ultra light. PPL is a dream for me,, VR flightsimming is the next best thing I guess.. thanks for watching!
I got eternally hooked on flight simulators one late evening flying Chuck Yeager's Flight Simulator in Radio Shack. The manager let me fly way past closing time, I suppose, in hopes of me buying the computer. I nearly fell out of my chair while doing a maneuver flying between two "building". I've been a fanatic ever since.
Thanks. As a total noob, after my first 15 minutes I was looking for a flight plan instructional. “Take off, proceed to 1800 feet, heading 270 to x-airport, land... return.” Is there something like that in X plane or elsewhere?
At about 5:10 when you are flying over Jersey City and you see the NYC skyline in the background was cool. I can see my apartment building in the video. Pretty cool!
I like the direction LR has taken in making XP11 more accessible to a wider audience, but there is much more they can do!!! One of my biggest barriers right now is rudder control and ground handling - I have no intention of using rudder pedals, and the built in auto-coordination is a joke. I bought the AFL 172, and it's not very useable for me right now. The other thing is time compression technology for long haul flights....another major setback.
At last I installed X-Plane on my steam platform last year.After several years away from flight simulation(last used M/S FSX)And couldn't believe how NEW BOY I was I hope this site puts me back on track Fingers Crossed
I learned to fly real planes with that old sub logic flight sim!!! Boy does that take me back in time!!! That was back in the late 70's early 80's. We used floppy disk to load the programs...talk about old school!!! But it worked for me and a lot of other people too!! When you look at all the flight sims now and how realistic they are...WOW. The only thing missing is the bumping and the thumping in the the real planes!!! You know.... the WIND!!!!!
Great video! I just opened the boxes of my Logitech yoke...3 years after I purchased. 😊 Now, i can't figure out as to why the plane loses speed and crashes after take off. Help please!!
🥺😳What I Can see now is that for all the Different 3rd party addons & Sceneries for XPLANE, (which are “SO...many”,...), they do slow down the “Frame Rates” for Lots of Flight Simmers !!! The “MS 2020 flight Sim” will Have the Advantages of effectively streaming Pedabytes of high quality Data for Mid to lower end Gaming PC’s, which is a HUGE FACTOR !!! 👍👍🤗✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Wow... I was thinking YT was the go to stage for mega talented people to show case what can be done on a spectrum of unlimited resources... perhaps you need to get out more?
Gracias sinior Bambino. That was VERY helpful. And its nice to see the HOTAS~controller (Flight stick) mappings in this game are how I have been asking for many years.
I've been flying MSFS for a few months now and it seems like a fine simulator but i am extremely disappointed in the frequent, non-stop "mandatory updates" that break the game and make it unplayable. Presently, MSFS has been trying to update for two days on my PC but it never finishes the update, which means i dont get to fly. Now im considering abandoning MSFS and switching to x plane 11 or x plane 12. How different are these three platforms? Should i go for x plane 12 or 11?
Yesterday i install X plane 11 and that impressed me was that found the second try my Microsoft Force feedback 2 joystick Are also including A-320 airbus with MCDU and other features or is necessary to buy an A320 addon.?
I'm a little OCD so right off the bat I can't get past the prop being way too far left instead of centered in the cowl. That's a pretty major graffical glitch. I'm out.
Hi how can I follow my flight plan in xplane Cessna because I've already made a plan and i don't know which direction should I follow plssss help meeee
They are good at different things. I really like the ATC and Flight Planner in FSX, also the environment is a little more alive. My go to is still x-plane though.
I like ur start up video. I have high end new gaming computer, three 27” gaming monitors and one game...x plane 11. I want to set it up to work with Monitors but best I can get right now is stretched out dash of Cessna that looks all wrong. I’ve contacted X plane and they just tell me to read manual. I may as well read Spanish. Any good step by step tutorials on setting up the three monitors??
Thank you for the upload. Have never touched a flight sim despite being in my 40's. Was originally going to get FS-X bit been looking at this due to being more cost effective in the long term and taking advantage of multi core cpu and graphics cards. My long term goal is to learn to fly commercial airplanes like the 757 and do virtual cargo runs using a C-17 and C-130 Hercules. Is this the best option available for that type of stuff or would FS-X be more beginner friendly please?
Thank you for the reply. Have tried FSX - SE and X Plane 11 demo. Right off the bat X Plane looks way better, from the looks of it you need to invest a lot of money in lots of addons to get FS-X up to an acceptable level. 60 bucks on X Plane and you have more than enough to get you going. I guess i have an advantage of a clean slate so to speak so can get started with X Plane 11. Will have to visit the forum and see what addons to try for what i am looking to achieve with a flight sim. Thanks again.
For the price of the computer that it takes to run this game you can get a real private flying license. Jokes aside. I'm working on my private license now and using this game as practice.
hello !!! what flight sim would you recommend for a Mac ?? , looking for something realistic for a private pilot like myself (cessna 182), any recommendation ??
Pure Trouble I’m not sure how to control image brightness within XP11. There may be a deep configuration someplace. I suggest posting your question on the XPlane forum or contact LR support.
I am having a huge problem with the camera in X Plane 11. It is so bad. The game tells you "when you want to grab the yolk, just click in the middle of the screen on the black crossair." Ok yeah great awesome. But when I look around the cockpit, that stupid fucking crosshair follows the camera no matter where I look and when I want to click on a button, the game keeps grabbing the yolk and sending my plane into an uncontrolled dive. How do I re-bind the buttons to grab the yolk and look around, this is infuriating.
Which graphics mod were you running in these videos or was it stock? It's funny what u mentioned about your first flight sim. Mine was Chuck Yeagers Flight Sim in 1987.
Hello, my 15yo son in preparing for the PPL and we have to buy a PC in order to install X-plane 11 and practicing with the simulator. Can anyone help us with a really good working hardware config.? Motherboard, Processor, RAM etc. etc. ? Thanks a lot
it all depends on budget but if you have the $$ I suggest 8700K, 1080ti GPU (or RTX if you want to spend the $$), 32GB RAM (64GB if you can, the more the better). As for MBOs I like Gigibyte but there are many options for the 8700k. This would a monster for X Plane.. Keep in mind that the current version of X Plane is CPU bound, they plan to migrate to Vulkan which will allow better comms with the GPU. good luck
just ordered version 11. i have to options for a gpu. a gtx 1060 6gb. and a amd vega 56 with 8gb. i know the vega is faster. but with some apps is not as stable? cpu is i7-9700k. 32gbs ram. m2 drive. etc.
I want to get into helicopter simulation. Would you recommend X Plane 11? Given you state, there is only one helicopter, or are there other helicopters offered by third party vendors.
David. haven't done that so hard for me to say. PlaneMaker comes with Xplane and is the tool I believes devs use to create aircraft. Probably documentation available on LR's website.
I had FSX and I'm now looking at up dating to either P3D V4 or X-Plane 11. Since I do a lot of flying in the far north I have been looking for videos of snow covered landscapes and driving snow storms but nothing. I have also not seen any spring or fall is shown. Does this mean that X-Plane doesn't have all 4 seasons?
Sorry to hear that. Doesn't Laminar Research know that this planet has 4 seasons? It would be pretty odd to fly into Nuuk Greenland, Iqaluit Nunavut or even Barrow Alaska in December and find it green and not white. You can't really say that you have realistic weather if it never snows. Anyway, thanks for the answer.
heard Austin Meyer's answer on his last live stream. basically he said seasons are important but frame rate optimization and VR support are more important. its on the roadmap but other things are higher priority. I believe they asked users and seasons was not highly requested. it would be nice to have.
Its amazing to hear you mention Sublogic. I used to be one of a group of users that did pre-release testing on their scenery disks. Still have all the complementary ones :)
Was only just born about then myself when the first one ever came out, started using 5.1 was when I started never stopped (is or are lol probably about 3 editions I had no idea about had been released since 5.1.
Great video! Man, things have sure changed since the days when I was a teenager playing with my Commodore 64 back in the early 80's.
Nice job introduction to the basics. Great voice - easy to understand. Good job on the video. Thanks very much.

Turtle I think my computer would be fine for this, but I'd like someone else's take;
I5-6600K
16GB DDR4 ram
GTX970
Excellent and to the point, much appreciated. Great info.
awesome Mark. glad it was helpful
is the software more stable than fsx boxed? as i got a lot of addons and not sure to swap to stem fsx and trasfer or start over WHAT YOU REKON?
Are you asking if XP 11 is more stable than FSX Boxed? or is FSX Boxed more stable that FSX Steam Version?
im asking will i still be unhappy to buy steam fsx and try mess about swapping all the addons or just start on a younger sim
sorry. not sure if you can swap add ons between boxed and steam FSX.
Great video! I just bought a new PC mostly for X-Plane and your video is perfect at this moment.

Xplane now supports VR headsets😎😎😎
With full vive controller and occulus touch support. It's just amazing
But it's poorly optimized for VR so framerate is poor. Hopefully they optimize it soon and we will get full 90fps without 2x2080TI etc. machines..
And today even more
Wow

I like this guy. Very professional
That was an excellent video man. Well thought out and informative. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching Nick. and for your kind words
Easily the best flight sim Instructor with a lisp that ive ever seen. Keep up the good work sir!
Great video. Thanks much.

Very clear explanation!
Wow! You are the single best commentary person EVER!
Never mind X-Plane. FS2020 is here. But helpful video
Well, there's a trailer - but it's not here. Looks pretty but the wonky-jerky flight physics look a lot like FS2006. Waiting.

Hi how can I follow my flight plan in xplane Cessna because I've already made a plan and i don't know which direction should I follow plssss help meeee
I'm just trying xplane 11 now. FSX is great, but the 32-bit engine just can't compete these days.
agree. X plane is awesome
They are good at different things. I really like the ATC and Flight Planner in FSX, also the environment is a little more alive. My go to is still x-plane though.
Cheers man
I'm exactly the opposite, i am a private pilot but I have only used the in house sim at the airport
Excellent video introduction for the coolest flight sim ever made!!😆😆😆😆😆
In the video, do you have any scenery add-ons, or is this the default scenery that comes with the sim?

great
it would be great for someone to make a download guide for fseconomy for a mac.
Hey Bambino, did you ever play ATP way back then? Was great fun!
is it available for unmaned drone?
I like how the video is 7:27 long
How to move right left up down from key board??
Or any setting??
there is a command in XP11 that you can bind to a key. check the XP11 manual
I'm thinking about buying this (2019) is it worth it? And what kind of game modes are there? A career mode of simply just a simulation
How do i turn off the brake in the Cessna in vr i cant find it becasue flight school does not work in vr..
Box of Demons look under the yoke. Below the console.
x plane vid:
youtube: wait this is x plane 9
also youtube:ok let's put it xplane 9
this is XP11.
i play Microsoft flight sim and i want to get something better but i don't know what to get whats the best flight sim out today?
For the price of the computer that it takes to run this game you can get a real private flying license. Jokes aside. I'm working on my private license now and using this game as practice.
best of luck with your PPL
Is there a trainer add-on?
Yeah that Airfoil labs Cessna 172 he mentions.
I wish my x plane frame rates would be like urs
thanks for watching and sharing.
hello !!! what flight sim would you recommend for a Mac ?? , looking for something realistic for a private pilot like myself (cessna 182), any recommendation ??

Whats the best wheel for plane games like the wheel and accelerator etc
Help is really appreciated,
there are number of choices. I've used this yoke for quite some time now and i;m very happy with it.. CH Products Yoke ► amzn.to/2r5XT3w
For someone looking to start on simulations would you recommend FSX or X-Plane?
X-Plane.

Hello, my 15yo son in preparing for the PPL and we have to buy a PC in order to install X-plane 11 and practicing with the simulator. Can anyone help us with a really good working hardware config.? Motherboard, Processor, RAM etc. etc. ? Thanks a lot
it all depends on budget but if you have the $$ I suggest 8700K, 1080ti GPU (or RTX if you want to spend the $$), 32GB RAM (64GB if you can, the more the better). As for MBOs I like Gigibyte but there are many options for the 8700k. This would a monster for X Plane.. Keep in mind that the current version of X Plane is CPU bound, they plan to migrate to Vulkan which will allow better comms with the GPU. good luck
Thanks a lot for the answer. We'll keep in mind your suggestions. :)
I can't get the Joystick to come-up. Anyone that can help? I'll come back to see what you say, to help me!!!
What do u mean by the joystick wont come up?
So if I got a yoke and throttle quadrant do I need to purchase rudder pedals aswell to fly?
no but it makes it more realistic
just ordered version 11. i have to options for a gpu. a gtx 1060 6gb. and a amd vega 56 with 8gb. i know the vega is faster. but with some apps is not as stable? cpu is i7-9700k. 32gbs ram. m2 drive. etc.
I know this video is a year and a half old but where do I go to get the PC download of Xplane 11. Is it true 64bit ?
go to www.x-plane.com. yes 64 bit
you can also find it on steam, its now in sale
What is your setting
who else got a heart attack by the intro music effect?
oh.. snap
I want to get into helicopter simulation. Would you recommend X Plane 11? Given you state, there is only one helicopter, or are there other helicopters offered by third party vendors.
Xplane or Dcs for choppers
Bambino Games...I see oculus comes either in 64 or 128...and more pricey...comment ??
u mean the quest? no thanks
How easy is it to create a working aircraft from scratch- using X-Plane 11?
David. haven't done that so hard for me to say. PlaneMaker comes with Xplane and is the tool I believes devs use to create aircraft. Probably documentation available on LR's website.
Does X-Plane have PMDG level aircraft for purchase at this time?
There is a DC6 from PMDG available (only for Windows though) which was developed specifically for XP10 and than ported over to FSX. Nice plane!
I had FSX and I'm now looking at up dating to either P3D V4 or X-Plane 11. Since I do a lot of flying in the far north I have been looking for videos of snow covered landscapes and driving snow storms but nothing. I have also not seen any spring or fall is shown. Does this mean that X-Plane doesn't have all 4 seasons?
To my knowledge X Plane 11 does not have an option for 4 seasons.
Sorry to hear that. Doesn't Laminar Research know that this planet has 4 seasons? It would be pretty odd to fly into Nuuk Greenland, Iqaluit Nunavut or even Barrow Alaska in December and find it green and not white. You can't really say that you have realistic weather if it never snows. Anyway, thanks for the answer.
heard Austin Meyer's answer on his last live stream. basically he said seasons are important but frame rate optimization and VR support are more important. its on the roadmap but other things are higher priority. I believe they asked users and seasons was not highly requested. it would be nice to have.
are all planes free?
No
There are good planes and addons for free, and many that you can pay for. You can search x plane 11 freeware and you’ll find a bunch of vids
