Q: xplane10 setup method Q: Where are the x-plane settings? Q: How to open the x-plane menu bar Q: x-plane has no menu A: Settings always start from the menu, but you really can’t see the menu when XP starts.

Q: What peripherals does x-plane10 need? What peripherals are fun for x-plane10? Can x plane 10 be played with a keyboard? A: You do need peripherals. Although you can fly the plane in XP using just a keyboard or mouse, our goal is ultimately flight simulation, so creating a more realistic flight environment will definitely increase realism. I suggest buying a joystick (yoke) at the very least. Once you have a joystick, if possible, be sure to buy rudder pedals as well. Below is an introduction to the equipment I use for your reference: Peripheral List

Q: Why do you recommend using rudder pedals? A: Please refer to this article: A Brief Discussion on Propeller Wash and P-Factor Effects in Small Single-Engine Propeller Aircraft — Why Does My Plane Always Veer Left?

Q: How to configure the x plane 10 joystick? A: It was introduced in the “Getting Started & Installation Guide” on this site: , which can be found in Settings / Joystick & Equipment / Axis menu.

Thrust (Throttle) is throttle, and Fuel Mixture Control is mixture. For details, please refer to Memo on Hardware Device Settings.

Q: Where can I find all the joystick setting names? A: Resources/plugins/Commands.txt and DataRefs.txt contain all setting names and descriptions, for example: sim/operation/toggle_yoke Toggle yoke visibility

sim/cockpit2/EFIS/map_mode int y enum Map mode. 0=approach, 1=vor,2=map,3=nav,4=plan sim/cockpit2/EFIS/map_mode_is_HSI int y boolean Map is in HSI mode, 0 or 1. sim/cockpit2/EFIS/map_range int y enum Map range, 1->6, where 6 is the longest range.
