Are there any changes planed for exporting string datarefs via UDP ( e.g. laminar/B738/fmc1/Line00_L ) ?
Currently I can only obtain 1 char at a time as a float.

Thanks for the answer.
But I’m sick of people constantly attacking X-Plane on my forum.
I opened a post on this same forum to show that immersion works very well.
I am currently trying the glider which is the last step and I just posted a message because there is a problem on the towing.
Thanks for everything for my part I enjoy myself, not being able to fly I find a little my past.

Glider
Impossible to carry out a winch or an aircraft towing in immersion…
Blocking xplane20VR4, is it possible to fix it so that students can fly like in the real

For 11.20 I noticed two things (bug reports sent already):
1) I’m unable to follow the FMS manual with success, guessing it’s not my fault 😉
2) It seems the FMS saves less data than the user had entered (e.g. speed limits)

P.S.: On the Intel HD graphics issue: That’s why I still run X-Plane 9…

Once again, reading the Developer Blog has enriched my cultural experience of the web. I will never read a headline ending in a question mark the same way again. Thanks, Tyler! 😉 My world is now just slightly larger.

And if anyone wants to see X-Plane load blazing fast, with awe-inspiring frame rates, a visit to Henderson Field on Midway will provide same. (PMDY) 🙂 My personal favorite place to develop new things for my present and future customers.

In reply to Jonathan. If I understand correctly (I'm reading a Google Translate version of the page), the complaint is that we start the "X-Plane Basics" tutorial at Honolulu, not Seattle. I'm a little baffled at calling this "cheating," but:

It is absolutely the case that X-Plane performs better in areas with less scenery.
It is absolutely the case that X-Plane loads faster in areas with less scenery.
It is absolutely the case that we took those factors into account when choosing to run the intro tutorial in Honolulu.
It is absolutely not the case that this has changed at any point in the X-Plane 11 run... since 11.00, the intro tutorial has always been at Honolulu.

Load time was the biggest factor in choosing Honolulu---we wanted your first run of the sim to load as quickly as possible so that you could finish the tutorial and "get on with your life" (and get to flying where you wanted) as fast as possible. Regarding the claim of "cheating"... if we really were trying trick people who hadn't purchased the full version, don't you think we could do a better job of it by not giving demo users KSEA scenery at all? ;) (Betteridge's Law strikes again!)

Well, it says here I quote:
Does Laminar use a trick to cheat on fps?
If so why?
