As long as we get them back 😉

You are not the only user to report this! But we are quite mystified as to why this happens – everyone who sees this eventually gets their fps back.

Ok now it looks like before. One crash and numerous restarts later, I can use X-Plane again. I have really no idea why this happened. Before the update everything was fine. After the update nothing was fine, and now everything is fine again. But I did nothing for that trouble. But anyway … now its ok again. Nevermind.

No – I’m saying: it’s you, not X-Plane. I worked with numerous users who reported this kind of thing and in no case did we find an actual performance difference between the two sims.

Yes I know. But I thought that this was an Beta-Issue. Now 10.21 is final and has still such a performance problems. So you are still working on the problem, or do I have to live with the problem and go back to 10.20? How can I manage the downgrade to 10.20? Is there any way?

Thx for helping.

This was already covered in a previous blog post.

You put a red button on anything and someone will want to push it despite the caution signs. How the lights look is subjective. Real pilots will want them dim, sim pilots want them to be bright. No lighting setup will ever make everyone happy. We’re not tweaking the lights because we suddenly felt they could be better, we’re trying to correct a bug which caused them to be dimmer than we expected on SOME machines with specific settings.

Hi Paul,

I’m going to pass this on to some of the marketing guys because I don’t think they’re reading this, and I think that kind of communication is probably more their domain than mine!

Happy to accept all of that, Ben.

Its a shame, therefore, that there doesn’t seem to be much else in the way of communication from LR. On the “news” section of the X-plane website, there’s very little about the X-plane software itself. It seems to be mostly full of reviews of third party aircraft and news about LR’s other business activities. Its really only an issue because you guys have set your own bar high with the rapid release of new versions.

In the absence of that kind of communication, keen ‘non-developer but interested party’ types like me, will just keep on looking for titbits of interesting info in this blog instead!
