X-Plane 11 Addons

X-Plane 11 is awesome out of the box. But it has the potential to get so much better just by installing some simple addons. Here am going to present the addons needed for X-Plane 11.

Airport Environment HD

This is a good graphical addon for X-Plane. It replaces Runways and taxiways, Taxiway signage, Ramp markings, Taxilines, Runway skid marks, shoulders, and blastpad.

The Installation is really simple. You could download and read the installation here:

Simcoders HeadShake

This is a simple addon that adds realistic headshakes, nothing that X-Plane 11 comes with out of the box.

Here you could read more about the addon and download it:

Boeing 737-800 ZIBO mod

This is a really good addon that is really worth downloading and try, what it does is that it a mod for the standard X-Plane B737. Its a really large and advanced addon so if you want to read more or download it here is a link:

I do a lot of instrument approaches in the Cessna 172. I require fully functioning Garmin GNS 430. Is there an upgrade?

My Steam version of X-Plane is not loading flight plan files placed in the Output>FMS Plans directory into the Garmin 530 GPS for the Cessna 172SP as per the documentation. I have been going back and forth with X-Plane support with no luck so far. I create my flight plans using SkyVector then convert their FPL files to the FMS format, I have checked the FMS file specifications and they are formatted correctly, even an FMS file sent from support does not load. I am running version 11.55, is this a Steam/X-Plane issue or have others using the "digital" version seen this problem too?. Has anyone else seen this problem or does anyone have any suggestions/solutions to this problem? I'm trying to determine if this problem is systemic or just my installation. Any help will be much appreciated.

Also not listed here is a few plugins that can get you good jetways that actually work. Download autogate and SAM (Scenery animation manager). These two plugins will make your experience much better.
