Not just Squid. Here’s chapter and verse.

Ok I submitted the bug. Hopefully youll be able to reproduce but to me this is pretty serious as it worked before in 10.05.
thanks for looking at it!

There’s new code in the beta but I haven’t announced the OBJ commands because I am still not sure exactly what will be released..it’s experimental, and so far I’ve been fighting nasty fix-now bugs.

Glad fps are better on ATI – between general perf improvements and the map buffer fix things should be better.

I don’t know of anything broken in the autopilot. Please file bugs on them.

Generally, no one should assume that we know about a bug. You’d be shocked at the number of times that everyone thinks someone else reported it!

It seems like the safe mode works. Funny however because when launching in safe mode, the default rendering settings are applied. Then you change them to where they were and boom it works fine!!!! you shut down xplane after your flights…. and you can’t restart it, it crashes on startup. Then when you start it again, it asks: safe mode with previous settings ? I say Yes!!!! and boom it works. Anyway, I finally tried it.

WOW!
major major major improvements. I am really impressed. This feels very different now. Much smoother. Few things feel too bright or the shadows on the ground from the clouds move very fast depending of your view which is strange. However.. MUCH SMOOTHER on ATI. I am one of the ATI users 🙂 and I can say that I now have the flights that I never thought I would get on XP10. I run in a weird 3monitors display at high settings. And I could run 100% clouds, extreme res at 3840×1024 resolution at 21 fps below clouds (overcast) and 28 over cloud coverage, which is simply amazing.
Everything feels smoother.

Few things to tweak with the autopilot though but I assume you already know about these bugs. If not let me know and I will file them. There are quite a few autopilots that are not working anymore.

thanks for that great update and looking forward to the next release.. and the 64 bit release

🙂

Patrick

Has it been quietly implemented or is it still to come?

I think the decision for/against mousewheel manipulation of knobs is also important when it comes to finalizing airplanes for v10. I know you already made a decision but regarding the numberous votes for mousewheel/manipulation -implementation you maybe gave this solution a second thought.

Best regards
Florian

We weren’t going to do that, but that is a good idea!!

Note- this is in some cases bad alloc memory and some not. I monitor the real memory.

filed bugs and submitted crashes but no luck in any beta thus far.

Whoa, fascinating!!! Let me see if I can fix our headers…

Ah, OK. It’s the web cache down here, problem solved. You might however want to let the person who runs the Apache that serves http://www.x-plane.com know that for Squid web-caches (and so, possibly, for other brands too), the max-age cache-control directive takes precedence over the Expires header. And while for /_lookup_10_/server_list_10.txt the latter is perfect, the former is set to 1209600 seconds. Which means, that once a Squid caches this file, it considers it good for the next two weeks. Which was what bit _me_ in the head.
