done….. 🙂

Your complaining, suggestions, rants on the blog post are old! Go take a cold shower and then go hike a mountain! And when you are done with that maybe you would be inspired to create your own sim! And gives us a progress update in 20 years 😉

Please file a bug.

Reverse kinematics can be added by plugin. That’s just code.

The key thing is that the OBJ8 format would expand to include skeletal animation with specific vertices “attached” to specific bones. I presume that’s a loose description of what you’re talking about. Agreed on tubing and wing flex, to be sure.

Also agreed on the creepy looking humans. Especially if you may have seen the pilot figure in VTOL VR. 😉

so when well you fix the specular bug where the sun comes though sold objects with no windows? how about some new AA modes and more AA options? water that doesnt look likes its from 1992? how about screen space reflection in place the SLOW awful cube maps that eat the frame rate?
decoupling the flight model from the frame rate?
it is unacceptable you cant hold 60fps ALL THE time in this sim in 2019 with 1080 and 4790k with settings that dont look like its 1992
when will this sim have party with modern engines

yeah but how long have then spent on Vulkan with nothing to show for it and it wont even help frame rates where a new modern engine would how much time would take them to make a new engine with parity of Unreal 4 or Unigine a lot longer then starting with it

im not saying port im saying start FRESH with XP12 new everything even if breaks everything from 11

This topic has been discussed (even by me) a couple of years ago. And the answer back then was already that it’d be a huge effort to port X-Plane to an off the shelf 3d engine.

I’m imagining that now, after all the time invested to port the sim to Vulkan, the same applies twofold… Humans also have this huge pitfall where after being invested into something, they will rarely change. An example is when waiting in a line for 5 minutes or so, you will not change to another line even if it looks to be a much better option at any point in time. Interesting stuff! 🙂

We are _not_ considering reverse kinematics at this time. Skeletal animation would make the movement of human figures easier (but would do nothing to fix the uncanny valley – your humans will still look creepy as hell. 🙂 Rubber tubes and wing flex are also easier with skeletal animation.
