Frequently Asked Questions

What is realops?

Realops is a ground service plugin for X-Plane 12. It simulates services such as (de)boarding, baggage handling, catering, lavatory service and refueling.

What does Realops cost?

Realops costs EUR 24.99. Future updates are included in this price.

Where will realops be available?

Realops will initially be sold exclusively on our website. We offer secure payment via Stripe. PayPal and other payment options are available.

Does realops run on all operating systems?

No, realops runs exclusively on Windows, as this simplifies support and bug-free development. The reason for this is that Realops also accesses external libraries. Compatibility is planned for the near future.

Does realops affect the actual weight of the aircraft?

Realops currently only affects the weight of Zibo and all Level Up aircraft. This includes cargo, passengers and fuel quantity. We are working on integrating this for other aircraft as well. If the weight cannot be directly influenced, the logic is taken over by the plugin itself without changing any data.

Which aircraft are compatible with realops?

A preset system is integrated into the plugin. This allows presets to be created for each aircraft. Please note that catering is not available for all door heights and ULD loaders are not yet available either. We are working on implementing this. Presets for well-known aircraft such as Zibo or Toliss are already included and ready to use. Detailed Information will be published before release.

Does realops have an impact on performance?

The loading time of the plugin depends primarily on the SSD and CPU speed and can take around 20-30 seconds when the plugin is started for the first time. After that, Realops has little to no impact on performance.
Tested on low-mid to high-end pcs. stable 25+ fps are recommended.

Can you sign up as a beta tester?

The beta is closed and the sign-up period is over.

Why can't I see the activation window?

There appears to be a bug on some devices. A patch is already available to try out on our Discord, an official patch will follow soon.

Why can't I unzip the file?

Due to high demand, download problems may occasionally occur. Repeating the download usually resolves this error.

Why does it say “connection failed” when activating?

Try to disable all systems that can manually prevent requests from being sent, such as VPN or similar services, for activation.

How can I share or install liveries

Liveries are currently still tied to objects; liveries can be shared as long as the objects are only used by the plugin itself. A simpler system for sharing presets is in development. Commercial livery packs are not permitted.
