I know you’re busy trying to get Vulkan healthy enough to release. That’s great and tally ho, but that doesn’t stop me from also thinking about the future. This falls under the “enhancement request” category of inquiry. I looked for where you want this kind of thing submitted, but only saw bug reporting and sales inquiries.

I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this, so I wonder if you could confirm these are on the roadmap somewhere. For reference, I’m a Steam / Oculus Rift S user:

1. Ability to fly with others each in individual aircraft
2. Ability to fly along with others as co-pilot, crew, passenger or other role

Thanks for your consideration.

Just run the installer without the “check for beta” checkbox enabled

I wish you best and I want to congratulate you for your works. I hope you stay safe during these difficult days.

I would like to introduce my system first:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
GPU: MSI Armor RX570 4GB OC
Ram: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
Windows 10 Pro
X-Plane 11.50b6

Excuse me for trying demo instead of buying it, since I am a bit short of income due to COVID-19 measurements of my company. I want to purchase your product as soon as the life gets normal.

Let me explain what happened:

I turned off page file (a.k.a. Virtual Memory) to save some space on my SSD. I expected nothing with X-Plane, but when I started X-Plane, I could reach intro screen. After that, I setup flight and hit “Start Flight” button. After some initialization, it stucked. When I hit “Ctrl + Alt + Delete”, there was an error message stating “…exception…”, but I had to reset my computer, because it was unresponsive, that is why I could not see the complete message. I tried to disable Vulkan drivers, it worked. Then I started to find the reason and I remembered that the only modification was turning off the Virtual Memory.

Then, I turned on Virtual Memory again and voila, it worked. So I thought that it may also affect performance. Then I tried to increase Virtual Memory gradually and saw that increase of Virtual Memory increases FPS. It does not affect tens of FPS, but every step increased 1-2 FPS.

I thought this might help you with development.

Kind regards.

I would say reshade is causing problems with X-Plane. :-). Seriously, I think this is low priority and would go something like this:
– If someone came to us and said “you are violating the Vulkan spec by doing X, and that crashes reshade”, we are very, very, very likely to stop doing X, because we are trying to write a non-buggy Vulkan app, and even if the only symptom of violating the rules is Reshade crashing, we gotta color within the lines. That violation of the spec might turn into a driver crash in a future driver update from NV or AMD.
– If someone came to us and said “reshade needs you to do X to work” where we’re not breaking the spec, we’d read the email and think carefully about X, but it’s unlikely we would do it, and it would be about dev time, as what Reshade is doing is not really something X-Plane is designed for.

In both cases, X would be something technical that we learned about from someone who understand the vulkan API and what rehade does. If a user says “I have this thing called reshade, it’s a black box and it crashes”, we’re not going to go reverse engineer reshade to see what’s up, we’re going to say “stop using it.”

Are you aware that beta versions of the JARDesign A330 specific for 11.50 Vulkan/Metal are available ?
