My Screenshots

Installation

  1. Download X-Plane 12 from Laminar Server:   X-Plane 12 Flight Simulator – X-Plane.
  2. Create a new Folder preferably  on an empty SSD drive called  X-Plane 12 – 
  3. At this point I would go to my Anti Virus Program  and exclude that folder from being scanned
  4.  Run the   Installer.exe as Administrator.
  5. Point the Installation path to the newly created Folder  “X-Plane 12” or whatever you called it.
  6. Enter your serial number when asked
  7. You have the option to download and install the entire world or just highlight the continents you want to install
  8. After the Installation I would reboot my PC to be on the safe side
        Thats it!  nice and easy

Simulator Settings

Improve your flight simulator game experience by adjusting your computer’s graphics settings to your liking, using the shared screenshot as reference. Experiment with changes at a busy airport with an A330 aircraft to make it more enjoyable. Have fun!

Addons - Definitions

Before we talk about addons, let’s first understand some definitions and the way The Simulator is organized.

Addons are additional Scenery of Aircraft you add to the Simulator. Some of them you have to manually install them (drag and drop) Others have a Installer –  it does it all for you

Airports go here:

X-Plane directory/Aircraft/Custom Scenery

Aircraft  go here:

G:\X-Plane 12\Aircraft

Plugins are executable code that are run inside X-Plane. Plugins allow you to extend the flight simulator’s capabilities or to gain access to the simulator’s data.  ATC Chatter – SAM – AviTab  just to name a few. Some Plugins are installed when required by Aircraft or other addons automatically. There are a lot of Plugins you can install manually.

Plugins go here:

G:\X-Plane 12\Resources\plugins

Developers may provide an installer for software setup, while some items work with drag and drop, e.g. the KBOS scenery by Mister X. Instructions for the latter can usually be found in a PDF file.
