In reply to Adrian. After doing some uninstalling and reinstalling... I think the problem could be due to plugins like XEnviro 1.06. Perhaps too much has changed since 11b1 that now affects how XEnviro plays with XP. SMP seems to play well with XPr1. Anyway Thanks for the superb job Ben & XP Team.

In reply to Ben Supnik. I normally test flying out of WMSA or WMKK (Malaysia). A test just about 10 mins ago (after rain), the outside sim view was just totally gray. Could it be due to the "somewhat inaccurate" weather data the local weather stations are putting out that is causing this? I stay very close to WMSA and looking outside is definitely not as foggy as in the sim. Visibility was automatically set at 0.6sm

In reply to Ricardo Bolognini. I found in the changes in the release notes. Thanks. XPD-7528 ATTR_shiny_rat and GLOBAL_specular with intermediate ratios (E.g. 0.5) now work correctly.We still recommend use use a ratio of 1 and control gloss with a texture.

In reply to Dave Sullivan. Thanks Dave for the feedback. I guess we need to wait for the IXEG people to produce a fix.

In reply to Ben Supnik. With an I7 6700K running at 4.5ghz? I have looked at everything including nvidia profile and stuff that could be wrong. Not sure whats going wrong...The performance should be plummeting with 6700k and a 1080

In reply to Thomas. There are some scenarios where the sim is too foggy, but if you live on a coastal city on a normal day, haze and scattering are the norm. Our goal is accuracy, so we are only considering "clearer" air for scenarios where it's like that in real life, e.g. western deserts.

Yes we are Nader,
Please see: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/118228-pb17-causing-bsod-log-says-source-code-error/

I think its a Win10 bug, as the problem started the same day Win10 did an update. Its resolved by Nvidia Thread optimization to off. IMHO I do not think its a XP11 update issue.

In reply to Adrian. I think it looks pretty realistic. When the air is clear in other sims or the colors really pop, it gives it almost a cartoon-ish quality. To each their own, I guess

Hi,
I like the sim!! Thank you all for this great piece of work!.

I’m curious about a thing. Since I don’t know all the functions of the FMC, this might be a misconception from my side. Logically I would think that this are not always the same.
Is it a normal behavior that the VNAV Descend Transition Altitude is always same as the Climb one?

Thank you very much!
