Ben, please put a link to the bug report form here in this blog.
Actually, if you type “X-Plane 10 bug report” into Google, you get to this post, and this post doesn’t contain a link to the real bug report form.

In reply to Michael Pace. The process of building, packing, uploading, testing, and releasing the beta is not done yet. I will announce it on the blog when it's done.

I think it could be nice to have a read-only access to the bug list, don’t you ? It would probably lighten triaging a bit, and people would see the ongoing stuff too.

And good news for the incoming version, I was eagerly waiting for it ! 🙂

In reply to chris. I ran it once to see if X-Plane would run or crash - it ran. I did not run a perf differential. Re: performance, once it's out someone can run fps test comparisons to get hard data.

In reply to chris.

1. We avoid providing clear instructions about how to use x-plane because we don’t want to ruin the mystery of the product!

2. We have not recut DSFs or taken new OSM data. The vertical position of roads is determined by X-Plane (based on the “layer” info from OSM). In 10.05 X-Plane would freak out when it couldn’t figure out how to make all of the layers fit. The new algorithm will sometimes let roads hit each other (particularly if the OSM data is silly) but won’t ever let a road go off into the stratosphere.

So this is strictly a “how x-plane visualizes the DSFs” issue.
