X-plane: The voyage of discovery begins........
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
OK guys, count me in too! ;D
I just finished installing X-plane, and updated to v 9.67.
Installed the EHM WILD DHC-6, and mapped my yoke and rudder pedals, so I'm now good to go on X-plane.
Still a lot to learn on Plane maker, WED, etc., but that will all come in due time.
I downloaded X-IvAp for IVAO online flight (still need to install / try out), need to make X-plane talk with FL4. Considering "Canadian Rockies", STM PC-12, need to find out if NL-2000 scenery (or Google maps) can be somehow mapped to XP scenery. Find some good EHAM and EGLL scenery, ..., a lot to do and discover! :)

make sure to download and install openscenery - this is a collaborative library of stuff like trees, static planes etc that freeware authors can include in their sceneries.

Aerosofts Mega Airport Heathrow also converts fairly well using marginal's fs2xplane scripts, although you'd have to do a bunch of tidying up.
Make sure to set runways follow contours off.
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Thank you, Alexander!
You obviously know your way around in the X-Plane community ;)
And I have a bunch to do, the coming evenings ;D
EHM-2381 Ted:
Ok I must be doing something wrong as FLogger throws an exception when I try to connect.
It says detecting new FSX install (I presume this is Xplane) and then throws an error loading scenery straight away.
I have XUIPC loaded and working.
Any ideas?
**edit**I had a PC-12 flight all set to go in Xplane but flew it in FSX instead as I could not get FLogger running boohiss ;D. And now that I have got a really fair handle on the flight model and avionics and can start from "cold+dark" I am ready to take this lovely bird live on our routes. I have to say I can highly recommend this excellent plane.
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Have you read and followed the pdf in the docs folder of the flogger download titled: "Using FL4 with X-Plane.pdf"?
There are some setup steps you have to follow. I attach a copy to the post.
Good to see you recommend the STMA PC-12. I may pick up a copy to repaint at some point.
