X-Plane 10 has to transmit localized weather data over the network; the data has the same bandwidth cost as about 1 multiplayer user.

10.20 won’t transmit weather to other multiplayer users if you don’t have the weather window open. For 1-on-1 with VERY low bandwidth connections, this can help improve network performance.

Thanks for taking the additional time to provide a base project that already compiles to 64 bit without link errors. Working starting points are always helpful, so I know if it breaks, it’s on me!

I do use 3DS Max and export into AC 3-D but lately I’ve been feeling like the outcast stepchild. 🙂 Unless somebody can tell me how to make blender texture 3-D geometry in the cockpit to map digital displays which AC 3-D seems to cough up a hairball trying to do.

No. Developers make one plugin supporting 3 OS x 2 bit-sizes (64 and 32-bit) – 6 binaries in a single plugin. This is an extension of current tech (3 binaries in one plugin for 3 OSes). This is unchanged for the 10.20 beta.

Secondly….(sorry mate) if I want to run all those lovely aircraft in the 64 bit version of X-Plane, do I have to wait for them to release it?

Well done on the progress though, never ending job.

Dom

PS. Ben, will it be possible to select runway/gate/parking on startup in the future, instead of just global airport? I know another sim that allows you to this, LOL.

The links are not yet updated.

SDK page will be updated later today.

Correct. A plugin ONLY works in the same bit-depth as the sim!
