Platform: Xbox Series X

Add-on: Orbx Volanta (Marketplace)

Sim Version: SU5 (May 2026)

​I wanted to share a workflow for anyone struggling to get the new Orbx Volanta linked on Xbox. A lot of us have been stuck with a tiny toolbar window that won’t resize, making it impossible to see the unique connection code.

​Disclaimer: This is what worked for me after some trial and error—others have tried similar steps with mixed results, so it might not be a “one-size-fits-all” fix, but it’s worth a shot.

  1. ​Toggle Installation: If you are currently “streaming” the add-on, go to your Library and Install it locally.

  2. ​Hard Reset: Shut down the Xbox and physically unplug it from the wall for 60 seconds to clear the hardware cache.

  3. ​Toggle Back: Once you’re back in, switch Volanta from “Installed” back to “Stream.”

  4. ​Reset Rolling Cache: This is an extra step that may help if the UI is still acting up. Go to Data settings and delete/reset your Rolling Cache to ensure no old SU5 data is causing conflicts.

  5. ​The Mouse Trick: Load into a flight at a generic airport (to save VRAM). Open the Volanta window and immediately drag it to the left side of the screen using a mouse. Once it’s moved, the resize handle seems to “unlock,” allowing you to pull it open and see your linking code.

​Once it’s up and running, Volanta is seriously impressive. It adds a ton of functionality that we’ve been missing on console. Hopefully, this is just the start—an integrated ACARS system would be the dream next step!

​Huge thanks to the Orbx/Volanta Discord for the help; they were on top of these bugs right away.

I’d tried 1 2 and 3 above with no success.

What worked for me was starting a session with it set to streaming and then simply disabling then enabling again and then starting a flight. I could finally enlarge the window.

YMMV

Tried the above. Not working here. Annoying as Xbox users have to pay for what is a free tool on PC.

I’m not sure if this:

really fixed it or whether I just randomly finally was able to enlarge the window but once I could it’s opened fully since then.

If none of the fixes have worked for you it’s probably worth just trying to resize the window on every session for a while. The window didn’t look any different until I tried dragging it bigger with the mouse.

Good luck
