попробуй проверять текст на опечатки – именно на них спотыкается транслятор, порождая странные транслитерации(на которых, в свою очередь, спотыкаются читающие)
и да, осознай – за XP не стоят конторы с миллиардными бюджетами, так что требования “а перепишите движок, чтоб не хуже крузиса был” – слегка нереальны.

1. I always watch and observe new graphics developments in the other -3d game genres, like racing games and “shooters”. GTA 5 looks beautiful; I have also looked a lot at the combat games. Fortunately, the large game engine developers (e.g. Frostbite, Unreal, etc.) present their latest technology at conferences like SigGraph and the Game Developers Conference.

X-Plane lags behind these engines in adopting new technologies; because X-Plane has a much larger world with add-on content viewed from virtually any camera angle, some of the techniques and technology from these games won’t work at high framerate in X-Plane. So we must wait until the hardware is more powerful, or find ways to adapt the technology.

A while ago, many major game engines went to deferred rendering. X-Plane added this feature in X-Plane 10. Now most game engines are adding (or have added) physically based rendering; I think this is a good fit for X-Plane in the future. But we cannot always do what these game engines do; often these graphics are based on pre-computing huge amounts of data from the game “level” ahead of time, since the level cannot be modified by third parties and is not very large.

To be honest, I have not seen any Prepar3D screenshots that really surprised me; the rendering looks like FS X with add-ons. We do watch new add-ons and note their quality.

2. Yes, but _do not_ ask for Antarctica again! 🙂 You can file a bug report requesting a feature, or email Austin directly. On the blog, please do not request new features when it is not _related_ to the blog post.

But we already have a huge list of things we are working on, and I try not to discuss new work until it is ready to test, so sometimes users request features and we appear to do nothing, when really the code is being worked on.

Here is a rough translation of Kirill’s question, with some help from Google. I haven’t spoken Russian in 21 years, so I may have misunderstood the grammar.

1. How, as developers of X-Plane, do you react to the latest videos of games with high quality graphics, such as GTA 5 and others including at this point such flight simulators as Prepar3D 2.5.

2. We, as users, might to offer to the developers of X-Plane various proposals and innovations for the development of X-Plane 10?

(I haven’t spoken Russian in 21 years, and neither me nor Google understand idioms terribly well, so I may have mangled this, but the questions now make more sense than the original translation.)

Здравствуйте Бэн, вот меня интересует 2 вопроса:
1)Как разработчики X-Plane реагируют на выход новейших видеоигр с высокой графикой такие как GTA 5 и другие в точ числе такие авиасимуляторы как Prepar 3D v2.5. ?

2) Мы как пользователи можемь что то предлагать вам разработчикам X-Plane различные предложения и нововведения по разработке X-Plane 10?

@luca. most excellent insightful question 🙂

i have no objection to the data collection. i can see why Laminar wld prefer the initial setting to default to Opt In, otherwise the sample will be unrepresentative, almost useless. So how not to tread on toes? IMO: 1. Startup screen while loading but not interrupting, display the current preference, mention which menu item to go to modify (opt out) if wanted. (+ remove all that unwanted gumf about how wonderful the mobile version is bla bla). 2. publish the data summary periodically interesting, more people will stay opted in. 3. remind users their bandwidth wont impede performance.

очень немного. 😉

О вы знаете русский ?

Может быть, говорить по-русски? 🙂

Cheers,
