However, the network is no longer recommending this plugin.īVA recommends installing updated scenery so your simulator matches real-world diagrams. Historically, VATSIM recommended the use of a plugin called "autospeed". Use Fps boost + Auto LOD 2.3 (you will also need the FlyWithLua plugin).Use the 3jFPS script along with the FlyWithLua plugin, which will automatically adjust the rendering settings to the maximum available.You can also consider the following options to do this automatically, achieving better performance and visuals while ensuring you never fall below 20 FPS: If you find you are getting disconnected from the network by the pilot client for low frame rates, VATSIM recommends you adjust your rendering settings until they are at a setting that can maintain 20 FPS. This results in you appearing to "pause" to other pilots on the network. This is because X-Plane will "slow down" below 20 FPS in an effort to keep visual performance smooth. If you have trouble keeping your frame rate above 20 frames per second (FPS) in X-Plane, you may be disconnected automatically from the VATSIM network.

Download and install the plug-in from the forums. While not required, installing this set will allow you to see other pilots' aircraft much more realistically than with the default settings. BVA recommends the Bluebell package, which includes 80 aircraft types and approximately 1,800 liveries. X-Plane uses CSL (model matching set) files in order to depict and generate other aircraft when you are flying online.
