In reply to Dimitri. You may use ALT+F4 meanwhile...

In reply to Larry thompson. I second that. When X plane is launched accidentally, it would be nice to be able to cut the start-up procedure short.

When editing an airport with WED I make some ATC-routes for taxiing. But then I thought why not make “air-routes” so you can make circuits for smaller airports and probably SIDS and STARS for the large airports.

Thank you for recent updates, quickview and custom view…

Here is my view on the changed 3D view settings..
I must say that the change back from being able to right pan the 3d view in 2D mode to what it is now 3d mouse view is horrible.. As I tend to fly in 2D view and now are not able to pan using the right mouse button has deminish my flying to minimal.. Just as I finnaly got the view how I wanted, a new beta did arrive with remedy of that.

Why can’t we have both?

I wish that I did not have to go into view, change to mouse 3d look view and then pan with the right button or arrows.. I wish I could just be in normal view, then pan if I need to.. Normally I just use W, E, Q to look around..

I miss the old Beta5r1 view system (i believe it was)

I know this is not a Wed post, but I give it a try here.

I have used WED 1.2 to rework an airport in our neighbourhood. I like to do some more, but the libs in X-Plane 10.10 are still limited. Is it planned to have more objects? So yes, and when can we use them for remaking airports?

What is the reason why many objects are not shown in the preview window? Is it possible to use them or not?

Why do have some objects cars, trees and pavement, cluttering round the buildings. For many reasons I am better of with ‘clean’ buildings so I can control myself the placement of cars, trees etc.

Correction on previous comment:

“descending automatically once it’s under the glideslope” I meant “descending automatically once it’s above the glideslope”

Has something changed with how autopilot works in this beta? I’m finding that when I do try to do an ILS landing with autopilot, things are not really behaving the way I expect. For example, I am able to intercept an airports localizer and have autopilot lock onto it and then automatically line me up with the runway. Then comes the glideslope.

I usually approach at around 3000 ft, by the time the glideslope is picked up, I am usually under it. I usually engage the APP function at that point, and from there the plane is meant to start descending automatically once it’s under the glideslope (this has always been the case for me in Xp 10.05). This no longer works. Altitude hold never disengages and one has to manually descend…

Has something changed? I am flying the 787 (Payware, apparently licensed by Boeing)

I tried blowing away all my prefs and starting with a clean slate.

In reply to Ben Supnik. Wiki history. Didn't think of that. Will do I guess. Spare the irony. Doesn't look cool behind monitors, thousands of miles apart.
