[@kindacooldelta3095]

thank you

[@New-Drone]

Thank you, Sir.

[@breastbroeder]

Wow the pushback addon is pure genius! Thanks for the great video!

[@on4cas]

Thankfs for this very useful information. I am still an FSX user and recently passed the IVAO Privat Pilot exam. I'm considering purchasing XP11. Keep up the good work!

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

You are most welcome! ;-) You should definitely consider X-plane 11! It's continuously evolving, getting better and better all the time! Thanks for watching =)

[@TMinus01]

Thank you very much Sir! Very helpful, since I only was aware of some of these plugins. X-Plane is getting better and better! :-)

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

You are most welcome! Have fun ;-)

[@ola.ljungqvist1966]

Thanks Thomas. Many amazing things and fun stuff in your list :) Good job picking them out for us.

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

Thanks for watching Ola! =) Glad you found some new stuff on my list ;-)

[@mrwallen]

Thanks for this list. So many I did not know about. After moving from FSX/P3D it’s nice to see so many freeware plugins.

[@rossyragbag]

Merry Christmas Thomas, and thanks from the flight sim community for your invaluable videos. Danke.

[@shaungeorge2274]

There is one more useful plugin - The Ground Handling Services Plugin.

[@wernerb2613]

Hello Thomas - xassign and PilotView is a Must have! Greetings W.B

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

Thanks Werner! =) Tbh, I haven't really been using Pilot View - it sounds to me like a ultra simple version of just the basic features of X-camera? Xassign, is a great plugin for per aircraft key/button assignments! The thing is, that I've read in a lot of threads, that it doesn't work in X-plane 11 yet? Thanks for watching! ;-)

[@wernerb2613]

Hello Thomas, Pilotview is a Lua script for views in the cockpit up, down, left and right limited. These settings can be adjusted easily and easily. How does this help me? If you eg zb. In a glider which is known very tightly eg. Move to the left, you can suddenly look through the cockpit window. No one will be unrealistic. And you can easily adjust the level restrictions with this tool. Of course, you can also adjust the views front and rear and equal in height as well as depth. Works perfectly in XP11. The other tool the Xassign is, so you can adjust more and more profile in the simplest way for your joystick etc. Also for zb. A glider, two-engine or other aircraft. So you set up in the simplest way several profile and bypass the restrictions of XP11 which allows only one profile. The profile saves and calls in seconds. Runs perfectly in XP11. Sorry for the translation of Google, am not english speaking. Be the first W. B.

[@weswheel4834]

Thanks Thomas, nice video. I agree, xcamera is a superb plugin. I need to go lookup Sea Traffic and 124th ATC now :)

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

You are very welcome, Tony =)

[@taneli7432]

Wow, I love the throttles display. I had problems with the JAR 320 A/THR position, but you helped my life :) Thanks, Thomas :^)

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

You're welcome, Nick! I'm happy you could add a couple of plugins to your list =)

[@xavionics2064]

Thank you very much! I discovered new plugins! My problem is that every time I want to use X-Camera I give up because I find that moving views is very hard and not intuitive and easy compared to default view system...

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

You are welcome! =) I agree, the X-camera can look a bit overwhelming at first, but you can still use the same keys to position the camera as in the default X-plane camera view (arrow keys, r,f etc)!

Great vid Thomas. I will be downloading a few of these. :)

Thomas, can you tell me which plugin or setting makes your outer part of your graphics so fuzzy/blurry while keeping the center in focus? I really like this display effect!

Meanwhile in 2019: 14. PassengersFX = payware (15USD for each language mutation) 12. Autogate - obsolete since SAM release 8. X-life Jardesign - theoreticaly free, practicaly payware, but huge fps stealer comparing to payware WT3

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, the video could use an update =)

[@lupateam2841]

@@ThomasRasmussenXPlane Is is still good list for newbies, but development for XP11 last two years was quite turbulent so in some sense it is good that this list is little bit obsolete - it is clear sign that XP11 is alive sim platform. Since 2017 when I found XP11, I tried practically all plugin from your list independent from your video which YT offered me yesterday. Now I´m using only Better Pushback, FlyWithLua, Autogate (because there is still lot of nice airports (which I´m using) with this plugin, and replacement for SAM is quite time demanding), X-Checklist, sometimes 124th ATC as by my opinion it is still one level above XP11 lastest and impoved ATC (comparing default XP11 ATC back in 2017). Terrain radar for aircrafts which support it (ZIBO, CL30). Other plugins I replaced by payware solution, or leave them as they do not suits me.

[@mkunz9813]

Dear Tomas I am a new X plane 11 player and I wanted to ask is it worth it to buy the X-life Jardesign plugin or not are the plane graphics different or want exactly is the differents? Btw Great video you made my X plane 11 flight expiriance more fun :)

[@jakefowler8522]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Downloaded the x checklist plugin( my 1st plugin) and extracted files to correct location as per install instructions but can't load checklist when in xplane 11?

[@AdityaMr66]

I recently migrated to xplane after nearly 8 years on FSX. I was initially annoyed/disappointed in the lack of basic peripheral features in XP11. Agreed, the flight dynamics are better here, but certain features like ATC are really pathetic compared to the basic ATC in FSX. But looking at these insane free addon software, I dont have any buyer's regret of shifting loyalties to XP11. Thanks for this amazing compilation. Cheers!

[@sharkandwooly4369]

Great video! Is there any plugin that fixes scenery and makes it look better? Just wondering since when I fly there's neighborhoods with no streets. :)

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

Thanks =) Either put your objects to the max, and if that doesn't do it, go get w2xp at www.simheaven.com

[@cloudinity5393]

Do you know, if there is a plug in to keep the simrate at 1 steady?

[@Topper_Harley68]

There is no option for the font size in planemaker or data output in the sim so from 1440p and up the text is to small. They have also removed the resolution option.

Hi Thomas I have enjoyed watching some of your videos especially plugins but I wondered if you could make one about lua v speeds callout . I have tried so hard to get it to work but for some reason I can't get them to work. Regards Mark

[@ThomasRasmussenXPlane]

Thanks Mark! =) I haven't tried the V speed call outs LUA script, but I'll have a look at it ;-) In general LUA scripts just need to be pasted into the "Resources\Plugins\FlyWithLUA\scripts\" folder to be working, but that's not the case here?

Its not working for me. Any kind of pdf files I tried to open, gives me a message its not possible due encrypted file what is not true. Do you have an idea how to solve it? I tried all kind of pdf files including simbrief flight plan and several charts ones, including one I created from a word file as test, however, the problem remains the same. I'm also a newbie in Windows 10 but my SSD and HD's is not encrypeted indeed. I have no idea anymore. eBag is an amazing plugin I was looking for.

I like your videos except that the explanation of the better push back installation of your other video that you have is not too clear, what happens that for some reason when I first install better push back it worked with no problem, somewhere I had the script already or something in xplane but I had to reinstalle explained it turn out that I lost the script of better push back then I end up with this fly with Lua script which I never had to deal with it . My questions is is a way to get the script by it self or tell me where in the list of script in the fly with Lua is it.
