In reply to Phil Mosley. When you record an AVI file the replay panel and recording indicator are not captured.

In reply to LongBowNL. All of metal, mantle, vulkan, and DX12 have the potential to improve draw call count, but more importantly, to improve multi-core use. The really big technically issue is that OpenGL is very multi-core unfriendly; all four of the new APIs are designed/being designed to let apps split work across cores and synchronize themselves, which is way better.

Hello Ben
10.40 is sweet. It looks so amazing.

In fact X-plane with a lot of the scenery add-ons such as HD meshv3 and the like is so great a lot of video guys are doing their best to show it off on Youtube.

Would you be able to add a function that removes the playback panel at the top of the screen when in replay mode?
This would be huge for us video guys.

In reply to Ben Supnik. I guess when it comes to many object (or drawcalls) DX12/Vulkan will become more and more relevant. I guess that is future stuff for now. Maybe even out of scope for X-Plane 10 and more for X-Plane 11.

Hi Ben,
I just tested the Epic 1000 on 10,40b2 you have made a good job. there are still some glitch like when you switch plane on Carenado. the fps goes down. but it does not happen all the time.

on my mac with win 8.1 extend DSF load at 2.245 and without 1.587 gig ram. I was expecting very high? fps will vary a lot it will goes to 15 up to 35. Skymaxx does not seem to like it more test need to be done. but i used to have better with skymaxx.

so fare for a beta it look strong the final will be very nice. Beta work great!

if i can pin point the glitch I get some time, (on and OFF) i will file a bug report.

Hi Patrick,

Where did you find documentation about the RPOS data format?
