Additional issues and suggestions:

-There is a mouse pointer/cursor calibration issue on the menus; the cursor finger is higher than where the mouse actually points. An example image is here: http://prntscr.com/etz44r
-In the airport/location selector (after clicking “Customise”), why does selecting the categories “City” and “State” remove the column for “Features” from the list? Can the column be made to stay visible? Additionally, can the column widths be made adjustable? Also, on this window (where airport diagrams are visible), could the country the airport is located in also be listed in the details shown on the bottom of the screen?
-Where has the Planet Map gone? It was perfect for choosing any location on the globe regardless of airport name or region name. If it gets added back, it ideally should be a popup window like the current X-Plane 11 local map which doesn’t force you to pause the game to view it.
-There is an issue with the cloud/fog effect present since X-Plane 10. When moving into clouds, the atmosphere switches suddenly into fog despite not fully entering the clouds yet. Sometimes the fog disappears while still in the middle of the clouds. An example video is here: http://sendvid.com/wdofzm0k. The effect is even more pronounced here: http://sendvid.com/mxrjc2b9. Also, it seems that when fog is selected, the top cloud layer and cloud base are visible from above, but the middle section is missing, except of course when I enter it and then suddenly the fog appears: http://sendvid.com/abzpmzq9
-In the airport/location selector (where airport diagrams are visible), it doesn’t make clear what the “3D” attribute is in the “Features” column. I couldn’t find anything on it in the X-Plane 11 desktop manual or Google.

Thanks and okay. If you don’t mind, I’ll just state my suggestions in the blog comments here:

-Move the dialogue windows’ red exit buttons back to the right (or at least give an option to do so) so it’s compatible with PC users.
-Allow selecting all text with Ctrl+A in dialogue window text boxes – it is currently not possible in X-Plane 11. This means it’s now much slower to clear and reenter text using just the keyboard (in search bars, etc). Also, the Windows combination of Ctrl+Shift+left or right to select a whole word does not work in X-Plane – it will only select individual letters.
-Allow the flight configuration window to display aircraft by folders. Before, this was the standard. Now, it’s impossible. I understand the aim of increased usability but I am unable to organise and display into folders aircraft I have created and aircraft I have downloaded from X-Plane.org. At least give an option.
-Allow multiple keys or key combinations to perform the same action. Before, this was possible. Now, it’s not. I used to use the Numpad keys, the Arrow keys and WASD to move the camera view, but now I can only use one set.
-Where have the “remove gear doors in over-Vle” and “remove flaps in over-Vfe” options gone? And why is the “remove flying surfaces in over speed or over G” option merged?
-Why has X-Plane 11 changed the “Show clickable regions in the cockpit” option to green outlines? They used to be yellow, which I found to be most visible. Can there at least be an option to change it?
-What happened to the separate “number of trees”, “number of objects”, “number of roads”, “number of cars”, “world detail distance”, “runway and taxiway smoothness and lighting”, “shadow detail” and “water reflection detail” rendering options? Also what happened to the “Cloud Detail” option? That level of customisability was very helpful for my computer performance.
-Why has X-Plane 11 got rid of the percentage numbers for the Sound sliders? They were extremely helpful in aligning the slider volumes exactly. Also, why were the separate sliders for engine and prop noise removed? Also, can X-Plane 11 possibly highlight the new “Master” slider in a different box or in a different colour so as to differentiate it from the rest? I’ve also noticed that X-Plane 11 has changed the slider algorithm from linear to logarithmic, so it seems, so the volume is much lower when moved to the same level as before. This is undesirable in my opinion.
-In the flight configuration window location selector, the category named “State” could be altered to reflect the fact that most countries don’t have states or aren’t a federation of states like the United States. X-Plane 11 incorrectly includes provinces and cities in the “State” category. The category name could be anything like “Province/State”, “Division” or “Region”.
-The throttle axis assignment settings need to be improved vastly in one respect: when setting the throttles on a 2-throttle controller to the aircraft’s throttle, I can only either set one (or both) as all throttles (under “Throttle”) or set each one as “Throttle 1”, “Throttle 2” etc. out of a possible 4. This means aircraft with 3 engines or 4 are essentially unable to have their engines controlled separately with a 2-throttle controller. Ideally, you’d want it so that throttle 1 controls engines 1 and 2 and throttle 2 controls engines 3 and 4. On a 6 engine like the Antonov-225 or an 8 engine like the Boeing B-52 you’d want the same rule to follow.
-Please allow an option to give controller axes and buttons custom names in order to identify them more easily than just “Axis 1” or “Axis 2”.
-Give an option to disable the “End Current Flight?” popup when changing aircraft or other in the flight configuration window.
-Give an option to disable the repetitive “You’ve crashed!” warning message which never used to popup in X-Plane 10. The “reset on hard crash” option is now gone from the General settings and is replaced with this prompt that occurs every time one crashes.

Thank you for listening to these suggestions.

You can file a bug, leave a comment on the blog, or email LR team members. That last thing has mixed success. There isn’t a formal feature request channel, and right now we’re still pretty swamped from 11.0 and bailing out the boat.

JAR-Design has done it as well for their updated A320 V3…. But never mind, you can just run the “update icons” button and you have the unified look.
(Well, almost: also JARgDesign’s A320 shrinks to tiny sizes during the icon generation. I feel LR must look at an upgrade to the generation algorithm….)

Brian Mackie, the way I interpret it:

More powerful. (than ever before)
Made usable. (we finally have an interface that all people can understand)

If you look at it like this, it’s not so bad, is it? 🙂

My plan is always to provide a _range_ of update rates so users can trade off visual quality with speed.

We don’t provide a lock-step update right now because it’s too slow. We have some ideas for engine features that I hope will change that, and when that becomes viable, we’ll expose higher quality options.
