Wow! Substantially improved physics in XP12 for gliding! I'm actually amazed to be honest. It flies now like Condor 2, maybe even better. It's time to hook up my VR headset and try this in VR with Autoortho and X-Europe!

Thanks Jan! That was a very informative video.

As an actual student glider pilot this video is bang on. Really really accurate.

Thanks for this excellent tutorial, and introduction to Gliding in xp12. I'll give it a try.

This is so well presented, thank you. I appreciate the bonus tip that I can just click and drag the aircraft to a new location. I always thought it was strange that I could change the altitude. Never occurred to me to click and drag. 👍🇨🇦

Very useful tutorial and clear advices. Think that I'm going to try it out. Thanks

I've flown the ASK21 irl, and I'm very impressed by the realism here.

🇺🇸 Do you think about one day releasing it for other platforms like Playstation 5? Because that would be really cool, it would open a lot more doors, a lot more people could experience this simulator, and even maybe VR mode with PS VR2. The PS5 is fully capable of running this simulator, and if you release it there a lot of people including me will buy it for sure! This is the best flight simulator I know and I'm dying to play it but unfortunately I don't have a PC yet. So please this simulator would be perfect on PS5, release it there too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 🇧🇷 Vocês pensam em um dia lançá-lo para outras plataformas como Playstation 5? Pois isso seria muito legal, abriria muito mais portas, muito mais pessoas poderiam experimentar esse simulador, e até mesmo talvez o modo VR com o PS VR2. O PS5 tem total capacidade de rodar este simulador, e se vocês lançarem lá muitas pessoas incluindo eu irão comprá-lo com certeza! Este é o melhor simulador de voo que conheço e sou doido para jogar ele mas infelizmente não tenho PC ainda. Então por favor, este simulador seria perfeito no PS5, lancem lá também 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

super helpful, thanks Jan!

nice demo of LOWS scenery as well

Well done, Jan.

This might be random, but how do I install Zibo 737 and other add ons on Mac for X-Plane 12?

Hello LR! I wanted to know then will it be possible to use ReShade with Xplane 12? Thanks!

Nice! But guys, what about thermals’ auto-injection to the real weather? I weally miss this even with Active Sky XP (it just drops whole thermal generating to zero, as well as any other weather engine). Can you add real thermals’ injection as the option for the realistic weather? This is what’s really impressive in MSFS2020 - it has auto-generator of thermals, so X-Plane could got that too.

Can't you even program the towing machine so that it flies curves like in the original? A tow plane NEVER flies straight ahead! This is beyond reality! Greetings, a glider pilot ;)

Always loved X-Plane 11 but X-Plane 12 has been very buggy,and I’ve had rudder axis issues because the rudder axis won’t stay in center even tho I’ve calibrated it 1k times.

When is the new update for the mobile coming out?

for some reason the cessna doesn't appear for me

How do i play x-plane 12 with my friends ?

Hey do you guys have an estimate as to when the water colors update will come in xplane 12? I know for most people it's no big deal but I live in a tropical area so it adds to the experience!

hello X-plane official. i found some bugs in the jetway in X-plane 12. the jetway won't actually connect at the top but it does on the bottom. i hope you guys can make it so that the jetway can connect fully to any aircraft, thank you!

what if one wing touches ground when landing, is that modelled?

Nice, maybe I’ll be able to apply some of this knowledge in X-Plane 5 😉

awesome

How does this compare to condor 2?

meanwhile performance is still poor, clouds meh at best

This game became better than MSFS!

I bought x-plane and wanted to fly with the Airbus, I chose a map and when I spawned, the whole ground was not loaded, there was only water 😢😥😥😥😥🥺😭😭😭😭😭And with other maps too 😭

Just another note. The towplane wake turbolence like the one I see in this video is in my opinion totally wrong. If true for liners or generally relatively big aircraft cannot be true for small aircraft like this one . If there is turbolence is due to the propeller, not to the wings. A tow plane with big propeller generate turbolence but not this way, while with smaller one (in my club we have an MCR 01 as tow plane now) you are not disturbed by a rotating propeller. This effect as I see in XP is highly exaggerated and totally unrealistic. I have experienced flying behind Maule M7, Robins, Piper Pawnee and never had such effects.

Please make the game the free x plane mobile 😢😢

Hello, I'm a real ASK-21 trainee. It was interessting to watch, but I noticed some things: -The things on the wings are not called airbrakes, they are actually flaps. -the combined flap/brake lever doesn't work irl. (at least at our one;) -you don't fly at 90 km/h (Triangle Speed), but rather between 90 an 110, mostly arround 100 -you pull the flaps out fully for landing. When you are clear of obstacles and the runway is below you, yank them out. -If they work, the brakes are really strong. So you first turn away from the runway and only break when you are vacated. Winch Start: -set the trim fully forward, still you don't have to pull much irl -first climb gently, then start pulling up incrementally. Ideally, when you reach the top of your climb the stick should be pulled all the way back. -you don't release the rope. It slides out itself. You just pull the hande 3x to make sure it's gone.

I want other planes but I would have to buy but I a kid if I buy it my parents will kill me Add money in your game plzzz :(

WHEN WILL LAMINAR MAKE TERRAFORMING POSSIBLE DEVELOPERS, THE TERRAIN IS ALWAYS INACCURATE AND DEVELOPERS CANT EVEN FIX IT OURSELVES. DONT WHY THIS ISNT BEING PRIORITIZED. IT'S THE SIGNLE REASON XPLANE 12 SCENERY IS SO SCARCE. MOST AIRPORACE HAVE UNIQUE TERRAIN FEATURES THAT CAN'T BE DONE TO XPLANE TERRAIN!

First

Just updated X-Plane 12 to the latest version 06 and what a disappointment. I was under the impression 06 was to take care of lighting issues, The instrument panel is so dark on the Cessna 172 it's unusable. Talk about flying in the dark on a VFR day. Ever try changing the comm frequency from standby to active, it doesn't work. I've been waiting for the past 9 months for these issues to be corrected. A BIG disappointment Mr Myer.

Coming from FS2020, XPlane is dead... there is almost no mods, no qualiry contro... no quality AI without paid mods etc etc. The list of problems is too big. The developers simply dont care. Even the airplanes menu looks same as XPlane 11. The ATC is a joke. Also the floaty planes when touch at the water they jump., even at really slow speeds because the water of the XPlane is solid. Its a joke.
