X-Plane Products

This appears to be the newest of the Threads about the Vulcan in XPlane 12 that I can find. From this and others it seems the only issues with the model built for V11 is the undercarriage and lights. can someone confirm that? and is JF planning on doing an update?

@razialaster you can move it using the VR controller. You need to use a VR controller to do it (i.e. the hardware controller that came with your VR set); you cannot move it with the mouse. Hover over its edges, using the VR controller (not the mouse), and you'll see that one of the edges lights up. Pull the trigger (or whatever button you use), and now you can place it in the VR world. It'll stay where you put it.

This works, but you'll have to do it literally every time you turn on VR, even if you temporarily disable VR in the same flight... I don't know how to avoid that yet.

Greetings all,

Firstly, I purchased the Duchess today and took it for a spin from Bankstown NSW (YSBK) to Moorabbin VIC (YMMB) and flew great but my takeoff was a bit shaky as I could not keep it straight down the runway. Although winds were at 12 kts, my rudder pedals were very sensitive. Any recommended settings?

Secondly, Does anyone have a descent SimBrief Profile for this aircraft? I created one using the BE60 as the base but even with applying the specs for the Duchess 76, it advises that there is not enough fuel for a 357 nm flight. It is meant to have a range with max payload of 780nm on approx 273 kgs (100 US Gal) (According to weights and balance sheet in the aircraft EFB) tank of fuel.

Many thanks.

Fred

Using the 151 Sqn Tactical Weapons Unit model (X-Plane 11), I have managed to get the F5 20mm cannon to fire (no Aden 30mm, it seems), but I have not yet found our how to uncage the gunsight for air-to-air use - it should pull downwards under 'g', but remains fixed in the sightglass. Can anyone help with this, please?

I have been experiencing the same issue. I recently followed the videos recently posted to XPlaneOfficial's YouTube channel about troubleshooting issues like this. I ruled out the rudder pedals (input and flight control position values are consistent with my inputs) and convinced there is something wrong in the airfoil design of the Archer.

You should be able to confirm similar by a) in flight configuration -> data output, search rudder and set "joystick aileron/elevator/rudder" and "flight controls aileron/elevator/rudder" to display in cockpit, b) start a new flight, c) Shift-8 to set the chase view, d) press Ctrl-m a few times until you see Elemental forces, and d) begin a regular takeoff. I also set video recording to a high quality and recorded to review at low speed.

You'll see the position of the nose wheel properly aligns with the desired position on the rudder pedals. However, you'll see lateral forces on wheel do not match the input and expectation. However, you will also see significant lateral forces on the body of the airplane. While some of these forces make sense due to the airflow off the propeller, they seem fluctuate considerably and exceed the expected forces.

In our XP12 Warrior, there should be a click spot on the suction cup behind the EFB where it sticks to the window. Clicking that area with the EFB fitted will hide the EFB, clicking that area with the EFB hidden will make it visible.

For the hidden VS enable/disable clickspot, you'd need to set 'L:AUTOPILOT_vs' to a value of 1.

For VS increase/up clickspot, you'd need to set 'L:AUTOPILOT_vs_up' to a value of 1, and for VS decrease/down, you'd need to set 'L:AUTOPILOT_vs_dn' to a value of 1.

In all three cases our systems code would reset those back to a value of 0, ready for the next trigger.

If you would like to directly control the vertical speed, you should be able to use the MSFS 'AP_ALT_VAR_DEC' and 'AP_ALT_VAR_INC' key events. You should be able to toggle VS hold mode using 'AP_PANEL_VS_ON' and 'AP_PANEL_VS_OFF'.

If I could kindly ask you to open a ticket with Just Flight support via the following link, our support team will be able to investigate this: https://www.justflight.com/support

Sorry, just realised this is about X-Plane... doh! But I think the same applies - my TB10 in X-Plane sometimes needs reloading.

My current setup:
X-Plane 12.1.4
Traffic Global 1.1.0217
Mac OS Sequoia 15.3

When I start X-Plane then X-Plan itself uses the configured sound devices for "Radio" and "Sound" (in my case the speakers of the TV that is connected to the Mac Studio). But Traffic Global uses the Mac Internal Speakers as Sound Device for the Output of any traffic related sound.

Does Traffic Global normally use the X-Plane configured Sound Device or the "System Configured" (in Mac OS configured) device?

Best regards,
Daniel
