Setting the check weather update period to zero stops this stuttering and your flight is smooth.įor more information on this, please read the XSQUAWKBOX USER'S GUIDE in X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\XSquawkBox\Docs. This is especially so if the server does not have weather for where you are, which causes XSquawkBox to "thrash" (yes that really is a genuine computer science term!) as it tries to find a weather station nearby, sending potentially hundreds of requests to the server. Weather updates can cause a stutter or sharp dip in frame rate if you have XSquawkBox running and connected.
Setting the preferences this way also removes another annoying problem. (See pictures below, with relevant section ringed in red.) The weather will now stay as you have configured it within X-Plane 11. They can be stopped by adjusting XSquawkBox's preferences and setting "Check Weather every" to zero minutes. I traced it to XSquawkBox and its periodic weather downloads. This was especially embarrassing while leading a group flight recently when I'd set a nice clear sky - for taking screenshots on approach - and it suddenly changed to a foggy Cat I on short finals!įortunately this problem can easily be fixed. However when you're flying in SimLink, where we expect a degree of autonomy, it can cause a problem.įor example, I've had a problem in SimLink where I would override the weather in X-Plane 11's set-up, say to CAVOK, and a few minutes later it would mysteriously reset to something else. If you want to fly on VATSIM, please run the stable release of X-Plane. Furthermore, 2.x does not work with Vulkan, and there’s a bug in 11.50b1 that will probably break it with OpenGL too. I will look into issues, but I really do not guaranty or even pretend that they work. Of course this is a Good Feature™ if you're flying in VATSIM under ATC as otherwise you would have to tell the controller you were not using VATSIM weather. XSquawkBox 2.x is NOT SUPPORTED with X-Plane betas. When you connect to SimLink or VATSIM with XSquawkBox, by default it uses "live" network weather. X-Plane 11: Fixing unwanted weather changes and stutters To connect to the MSFlights Simlink Server, insert the following parameters into the XSquawkBox Connect dialog box. Connect to the MSFlights Simlink Server : Hover the mouse over the menu system at the top left of your monitor once you are in your aircraft and selectĤ.
Here are the instructions you need for getting started with X-Plane and MSFlights:Įxtract XSquawkBox and place the files into the X-Plane\Resources\Plugins folder.ģ.2. To connect X-Plane 11 to the MSFlights Simlink server to participate in group flights, all you need is X-Plane and XSquawkBox.
