Afraid I’m not going to buy a new iMac every time Xplane produces its next version because my VRAM is insufficient. Also can’t afford the expense of guessing how far ahead of the game to get with an iMac. Don’t know how many there are like me but I’ll soon get bored just being able to fly the Cessna 172 with not very good rendering settings to get over 20 fps. Rather sad, but I’ll have to stick with v.10 because v.11 looks potentially so good.

Hi Ben,

I have purchased XP11 but I was sad to find that the weather engine is simply atrocious.

Are there improvements planned for the weather engine? For a modern flying simulator, I was expecting the weather engine to be one of the priorities. I would like to be “forced” to fly a precision instrument approach when the METAR implies one. As it stands now, I haven’t encountered a situation where I did not have visual with the runway from above.

I get excellent weather representation in P3D with freeware weather engine plugins (one example is FSXWX). I don’t know if maybe you could contact the developer to work together. If he offers his weather engine for free for FSX/P3D, I guess he would be happy to help for a modest fee.

Thanks.

In reply to Heinan. This is working perfectly fine.

In reply to Guilherme. Regarding the Saitek Multi Panel, it was my fault... I forgot that I had to install the plugins first! Sorry!

Hi Ben,
FPS stuff not wanted in bug reports , I understand that .So forgive the mention here Beta 2 got halved to never going over 15 fps down to 10 even over sea (old machine I know) yet Beta 1 performed surprisingly well ( both on same low settings no 3rd party stuff) Did something specific change that would have caused such a noticeable difference on a a Mac/ATI machine?
Many thanks

In reply to xXNightEagleXx. Possibly - it's been discussed internally and was listed as a possible future extension in the original spec for the feature.

In reply to Ben Supnik. Is there any plan to implement it in the future?

In reply to Ben Supnik.

Ben ,

It seems to except some airport issues. This only meant as a test and also because XP10 runs quite well on my laptop.

Actually the mesh works.

But this is only till XP11 has been optimized .

Rgds.

In reply to Richard Elliott. The xp10 objects should still be there.

In reply to Daniela. No - just a separate file.
