Just a little cuckoo from France to say thank you to all its developers who regale our little eyes full of dreams. Since always aviation enthusiast I dream of flying but for lack of means I stay on the ground to watch the planes take off and land! Today flying is a dream accomplished with a little economy and patience I enjoy every night of the show that it is great developer we therefore thank the whole team! sorry for my English.

I have found that the “Preferences” file becomes easily corrupted for some reason. This is my major reason for uncontrollable ground handling events. Deleting the file (after saving the two joystick and one key files) will correct the problems (for a while). It seems that I am not the only one who experiences the problem. Is it possible that there would be a “more stable” way of addressing this issue… like maybe putting the three files in another location and having the rest rebuild at each loading? Obviously, I am not a programmer, but it seems logical to me.

Yeah , xplane 11 ground handling is just savage

In reply to William.

No that won’t work either.
Maybe it worked on older phones but on the Galaxy S8+ the gearvr setup and oculus just take over and you can’t use any 3rd party app to run the sim in and there appears to be no way to disable it.
So i’m stuck until you enable native VR.
No X-Plane for me until then.

That must be Ken Block landing!

It’s nice that Austin recognizes the ground-handling problems in AI planes. Perhaps one day he’ll fully embrace the shortcomings in. . .

Naw. Never happen. 🙂

Oh that really made me laugh! What the hell is he doing!?

Hey Ben, don’t even fix it, just leave it in there and List it as a student pilot AI 🙂 more realism I think. As far as all the people leaving all these lengthy post about priorities, people get over your OCD. Allow the developers to have a little fun once in a while. For crying out loud. I Thought the clip was hilarious and I can say I’ve actually had a few landings just like that. So Ben, you guys just keep doing what you doing.

In reply to Marc Westhofen. It _would_ make sense to have an override for the ATIS.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply. Well, I do not talk to ATC so it does not affect my online flights. However: When dialing in an ATIS frequency, I can’t stop the built in ATIS voice talking to me while I am listening to the VATSIM ATIS – unless I turn X-Plane’s radio volume down to zero. But when doing so, I also “remove” radio calls by the push back system or the plug-in “Better Pushback”.

This is why I was thinking about the “on/off button”.

Keep on your great work and don’t rush. We have a rock stable X-Plane 11 yet and I totally agree that quality of code beats hunting for release dates!

Regards,
Marc
