In reply to Bruno. I think Active Sky is for FSX or Prepar applications not XP compatible, although any addition is welcome.

Hi,

You won’t see any “beginnings” of an implementation – running under Vulkan vs Metal vs OpenGL is a binary thing – there needs to be only one back-end driver drawing for the sim. So my _guestimate_ is a year to get a public beta running Metal or Vulkan – that means that’s the only thing running the sim and GL is just doing plugin compatibility. We won’t be shipping any “partial” version because there aren’t any partial intermediate stepping stones.

With the new api enhancements on the way I’m wondering is it better to stick with my 6700k or move to something like a 8 core CPU. Also during the presentation it was stated that it would be a year before they could get everything working right I am wondering if that’s for the final api code or if we will see early Vulcan and metal implementations much sooner over the next couple weeks to couple months or is a year a best case scenario before we can see any of the beginning implementations?

Thanks for all the effort you put into X-Plane 11. What i like the most, is the new autogen buildings for europe. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Can you tell us anything about implementing other european building styles, especially southern european architecture? F.e. spain, italy, greece … etc.

Many greetings from germany!

In reply to Mad Mat. Mad Mat. Worry not. Active Sky is coming to the rescue. And such a welcomed rescue. I totally agree the default weather engine is unworthy of XP11.

In reply to Daniela Rodriguez Careri.

Moonlight is on my list — we had it way back in the day and it got lost somewhere.

For datarefs that go whacko on replay, file a bug and include the datarefs, please.

As everybody is requesting their favorite fix/feature, I want to propose moonlight. I’d love to see moonlight. And the fix for the strange bright cyan horizon. And the fix for datarefs doing what they want on replays which ruin FMOD sounds 🙂 Thanks!

Give us more FPS !!! It’s ridiculous 18-30FPS with ortho and addon aircraft. And ortho take less than 1-2 FPS. 4.6 GHZ 8Core and 32 GB Ram 8GB VRam. Give us full power !!!
No fun to fly.

After tests…XPlane take 40% of my CPU. And there are no bottlenecks. Only a code that slow down XPlane.
Why ? No changes in the graphic settings take much effect of the frames.

DataRefs dissabled…perfect. No chance to optimize.

Do we get 10-20 FPS more in the upcoming beta ?

And final…is XPlane bound by hardware manufactures ?

Cheers
John
