Wilco Ben..

I do appologies, not my intent at all. Will limit my question to actual matters regarding developer topics only.

Thank you for providing such a blog!

Hi Tom,

I have no idea what this is; no one else has seen this.

At this point, I’m afraid you’ve drifted off topic. Please do not continue to post descriptions of strange things that have happened on your computer to this blog. This blog is not a forum for users to compare notes on the beta. Please do this on the org or x-aviation or another public forum.

Thank you.
Ben

Don’t know if there is know issue, but after installing 10.21b2 I get in no perticular sequence or order a black screen of death. This occure when I i.e start X-Plane 64bit or especially with trying to check the #use window in full screen mode box inside XP.

Happend 3 times allready, so now I am reverting back to 10.20 final for my main X-Plane folder and waiting for a new update on my test folder.

Any ideas Ben? Is it a graphical problem or purhaps a driver issue?

Hi Ben,

Loving it so far in 64-bit.

I made a video yesterday with the latest beta and my new Carenado Cessna 210 Centurion.

As you can see the FPS is awesome. I’m running with Extreme texture rez and Extreme number of objects…

In reply to Fredrik Stare. Ah yes -- fortunately my family was nowhere near the finish line or even viewing the Marathon. But the tragic events are very unnerving in that they are so close to home. :-(

In reply to Markus Borgmann. The fps test can use fdrs or replays, but the replay format tends to not be inter-version-compatible, so...I use an FDR for the time demo to get a replay that will work across many versions. Both work. We do need to fix the .rep IO code to be inter-version compatible.

In reply to Ben Supnik. Thx, Ben. One last question: Replays are .rep on my windows machine, you are writing about .fdr ?

Off topic but were you Ben in Boston for the Marathon and are you okay?

In reply to Markus.

All docs are here:

http://wiki.x-plane.com/Timedemo_and_Framerate_Test

the one fine print: always use an .fdr file for a replay, as in

–load_smo=Output/replays/test_flight_c4.fdr

The ‘static’ time test on the runway is, I think, borked, and it’s also a poor test because the scene never changes.
