Jack Sawyer Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Can anyone please recommend a very high quality, A2A-like Cessna and or Piper for XP that uses the GTN 750 and is not Carenado? I just installed World Traffic and now my sim is on par with P3D except for some study level planes. Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseCFII Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi jack, Q8Pilot did a nice video on the top 10 GA airplanes for X-Plane 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSvjmoAPx80 Pay attention to JRollon's SF 260. It's special! Interesting that you chose World Traffic 3. I thought that JF Traffic Global was supposed to be a better AI add-on. Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an .exe and so simple to use. It really makes my Orbx XP world sweet now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryM Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The default model does not, but there are a couple of mods on the forums that enable it in single or dual format. The issue is with that term 'study level' Jack...... still very few of them for XPlane. Airfoillabs KA350 (mod) Airfoillabs C172 (mod) TBM 850 (glass so no need) MIlviz T310R supports GTN750 (out of the box) Have you looked at the planes by vFlyteAir? NOT study level, but better than Carenado ..... and their cherokee supports GTN650, not sure about 750 Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how you appreciate awesomeness, check out this link: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/52652-airfoillabs-king-air-350-avitab-integration-mod/ You will find two GTN Mod links for single and dual integration for the King Air 350. But, check out the Avitab plugin. It's excellent! There's a beautiful Piper Arrow by Just Flight that comes with GTN 750 integration out the box. As a pop-up, you can choose the GTN 750 from drop down menu and use it for any airplane that you like. It will take over the navigation as the primary nav unit. As for the JF AI not showing on the GTN units, I don't have the AI add-on, but let me see what I can dig up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have a look at these. I saw the YT on the KA350, was impressed but I like more modern avionics like the GTN. I used to love the G1000 but it’’s not as intuitive as the 750.

I have that arrow and I must say the cockpit graphics are on par with something from Flight Sim 2004 or less. And thanks for any AI help with the GTN, it’s much appreciated.

TTM That will never happen TTM, XP is only nice in that Orbx uses TrueEarth. Now, if Orbx made an XP Global I’d think about it. JF Global has a slider you can use to control the AI. It doesn’t give a specific number as far a I can tell but the AI are very detailed. My little Orbx world was so stinking lonely before this and now it really makes a huge difference!

wain71 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Jack most if not all the GA planes I have tested for JF support Gtn750 as standard.. You load plane and it's there already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run AA at 4xAA + FXAA and it looks and performs well. I hope you do not mind if I make a suggestion. If you do not have the latest version, download the updater: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/144828-updater-download-page-v25-available/ Update to the latest version & raise your AA settings. BTW, yesterday I purchased the Citation Mustang for XP11 for my bday and I love it! It's not for everyone, but it's one of my fav in P3D so I had to get for XP. Have a great day!

Jack Sawyer Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks Jose, I’ll have a good look at my settings. But it’s odd, no other planes on my settings have jaggies like this one does.

TerryM Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 just place the folder in the usual Xplane11/Resources/Plugins folder Jack, then the Skunkscraft Updater option will show up in the sim and you can update the planes by downloading only the files that have changed. If you want, you can also configure it so your planes are automatically kept up to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you download the SkunkCraftsUpdater_v2.5.zip drop the extracted folder into the XPlane 11 plugins folder. After you load XP you will see SkunkCraft Updater. When you click on that it opens the updater and it will tell you if there's an update. If there is, click on the right box to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I’m setting up the Toliss A319, xCamera is working great, but still trying to configure a couple of things. Trial and error I guess. Also, your settings create a slideshow at EGLC but with Global Traffic set to max and your settings I’m landing at EGLL, Heathrow right now and I’m getting 22-25 but it’s very smooth. This Airbus is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one thing I hate about XP. Updating can be a nightmare. I installed it but when I ran XP it told me I can’t use it because IT is not up to date. I got the very updated in your link. Why can’t everything be nice and simple like Orbx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, When you put updater in your XP plugins folder it will appear in your plugins dropdown menu. That's the one thing I failed to mention. There's certainly a learning curve when dealing with XP11.

And it worked, but it said it was an old version, so now I have to try to find it. This is what I meant about frustration, chasing down updates like this.

Jack Sawyer Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 I got the latest and it works but it could only update the Robin. It said it couldn’t update the JS 727 because the server was locked or something like that. But at least it seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
