Note
It was said many times in this thread, but it must said again and clear: X-Life will work only on prepared airports !

1. This airports are on the JAR map (I hope this map will be permanently widened)
2. Nearly half of this airports are payware (mostly not cheap at all, but 100% worth there money).  Same airport downloaded free from X-Plane will work rarely and not optimal. ( I made the experience that only 1/10 of them can be used).
3. Even some of the prepared airports have sometimes some defects that must be corrected.
4. Most importend is the fact that we can in X-Plane for the first time simulate flights in an AI environment  (World traffic is not an alternative) with both air and ground traffic and under ATC.

I would like to suggest that as beta test pilot you should use for the present moment only prepared airports. They are all great sceneries and you can have enough variety and different experiences using them. (that should also reduce the repeated questions und complains concerning other airports)

I agree with you broadly for beta testing but I would like some things addressed, now the we have a commercial release of X-Life.
As a user, though, like quite a few other pilots, I would want to be able to make our own set of airports usable with X-Life and I believe that following the rules meticulously goes a long way.
If there are additional scenery problems (like Mesh v3 being incompatible) we need someone (Eugeny?) to describe exactly why that is so that remedial action can be taken and sceneries can be prepare/modified to make them compatible. X-Life is too good to be restricted to airports provided by just a couple of developers. So far, all of the airports for which I made ATC traffic routes worked very well with XL (KBOS was by far the hardest!) so I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from trying. It can be done!
Just, as you say, complaining about issues doesn't help but providing the necessary data to figure out what's wrong should be valuable to improve the product.
I have been there too, not so long ago, frustrated and almost ready to give up but Eugeny really showed me how to do it and I went away very encouraged.

Good day,
There is no one really complaining as I do answer many of the tech questions and if, you follow the wrong people on the  feed you can get lost and it is leading you and other people the wrong way.
Nevertheless, this is my point of view after working on the X-Life project since the start of the project.

Now as for the Mesh v3 scenery I can tell you that the Mesh v3 scenery by its self is very hard on the GPU, what do I mean the FPS is taxed already by the Mesh v3 scenery where you can get a FPS drop. Then you want to add the X-Life to the mix well it is just too much going on you have too choose what flavor you want to use at this point is the Meshv3 more important to you or is X-Life as, you computer can only handle so much. Now if there is a change down the road and code is written to fix the way the Meshv3 is loaded then it might work but I am thinking it's the layers of the scenery load that is at issue.

The team of beta tester from the original testing team has worked very hard to make this the best Plugin along with JAR so,
for the new members please look at the other posts and see how the team does things we already have a system and we work well together there is never complaining so thank-you Beta Team.

Hi All. I will ask my question again. Trying to create a flight plan from CYVR to KPDX. don't know how to choose an alternative airport. when you select any of the nearby airports gives an error wrong ICAO alternate airport. what to do? thanks in advance.

Hi. I tried. but it still gives this error.((((
wrong icao alternate airport

Good day,
and did you use Capital letters when typing the ICAO,  try KSEA you should not use the airport that you are departing from since, you will be a 100nm down range before you know it and this is my point if you listen to the wrong people like ilankrt he will only lead you down the wrong path.

Suggestion:  Create a Wiki for X-Life.  You have a lot of people willing to help with technical support, and airport layouts, but a single forum thread sucks for coordinating and finding information.

Once there is a Wiki page on a particular airport (e.g. which payware or freeware scenery is required, any modifications the users can/should make) - the map could link to it.

Hi,
Is there a way to get rid of the default x life planes such as the American west 737 and prop planes? I installed the blue bell library but the default planes tend to run more.
