I second that too, “Advanced” options for power/old time users. Or in case you won’t implement it, at least the possibility to touch some .prf which won’t be overwritten with the changes from the UI.

I would like to have more option (like in XP10) to.
I prefer high settings for clouds, but not for car traffic. With the reduced options I have no choice.

Totally second that!

Shadows, water reflections AI aircraft and vehicle traffic just kill my decent oc’ed I7 4770K at 4.3GHz. With these options turned down I can increase objects, trees and clouds to very high settings and still get 30+ fps. However, in XP11 most of these options are tied together and cannot be individually adjusted. This is really a step back for any serious simmer. I mean we’re willing to learn how to operate multiple, quite complex FMS and are not allowed to change water reflections or vehicle traffic? Come on guys!
Also the AI Aircraft traffic isn’t that good that I cannot live without it, yet 😉

Please, please, please include an additional slider position named “Custom” and unlock all those settings from XP-10 (as far as they made it to XP-11). Every “game/simulator” has this feature and people would probably tear apart any explanation of the devs for not including it. And rightly so!

We should probably start a petition for this, lol!

Right now X-Plane is trying to put a lot of detail into a small draw distance but I perfer less detail in a large draw distance and can’t change that with the current options.

The download now seems to include some of the “missing” areas up to 70N. Will disk users be able to download these areas?

It’s not very often that I fly to ENSB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Airport,_Longyear (78°N), but I am prepared to insert one more DVD or endure 2 more hours of download…

On the other hand, isn’t it possible to have scenery files with lower longitude-resolution in the higher latitudes?

I agree with Tom Knudsen, Laminar should state that possibility on the product’s page. I fly a lot in Iceland and now I bought XP11 to discover there’s a chance I’m not allowed to do it.

Worst of all, is not because of a technical difficulty, but because of space constraints.

We’re in 2016, space constraints shouldn’t be an issue anymore.

If your windows look washed out it is almost certainly because of the change from sRGB to linear-space blending in the lighting model…authors will need to redo their tinting to make sense.

Gamma control is –not– coming back; X-Plane runs in the sRGB color space, full stop. The gamma control changed the color space, which is not a good idea.
