In reply to Mathis Wauters. I also have this "not enough VRAM" when I try to load an airliner, even default ones. What gpu you have? Mine is a 750ti.

I tried adding the –aftermath right after X-plane.exe both inside and outside he ” ” marks but Windows does not accept either. I also tried it from the Command Line using Run X-plane.exe–aftermath but No Joy! Sorry, it been years since I played around in DOS CMD LINE so more specific guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

In reply to Scott Menard. I think you can do it in "properties" for the icon.

Ben,
I just had my second Vulkan Device loss crash. How do I setup a shortcut to include –aftermath in the Windows shortcut or is this only available via command line?

Thanks.

I’ve had a couple freezes followed by CTD. No x-plane crash reporter came up, so I thought maybe it was a plugin crash (flying Hot Start TBM). The last time it happened, Log.txt ended with with VK Device Lost – unfortunately I didn’t make a copy of the log and it got overwritten. I9-9900k/32GB/RTX2080ti 11GB. Most everything else is running well.

In reply to Ben Supnik. To make it clear, they'll stop supporting it. What's there for SteamVR on Mac will still be available for use, there just won't be any updates or any support for it. Not saying that this means you (Laminar) should support an unsupported API on Mac either, just felt the need to clarify this.

I have also had a lot of device loss errors, reports sent. but I have always suspected the problem was my hardware.

new Computer on the way looking forward to the build…. but how much change will this bring to my xplane with Vulkan?
the old system is
i7 2600k 3.4 Ghz, 16BG 1333mhz ram, GTX1080ti on a £70 motherbord
new
i7 9700K 3.6 but 4.9 turbo, 16GB 3600mhz ram and the same GTX1080ti GPU and a top end motherbord

been testing with the old system in VR… flying with dreamworks EMB110 around the UK at around 45 fps mid settings HDR on, the main problem has been stutters… its ok in some areas but others is just impossible to fly…. be intresting to see the comparison on weather the stutters was due to a old hardware or the game its self..

great work on your progress with vulkan, keep up the great work!.

For anybody out there with as old a brain as mine who once did everything from a dos command prompt but cant remember. I did follow the link but it took me 1/2 hour to get it figured out. So on my system when it finally loaded it looked like this;
C:\Users\2mtsg> F:\X-Plane11.50b6\X-Plane.exe – – aftermath – – fps_test=n – – load_smo=n
Now although X-Plane load screen is up and has been since I started typing this message the hour glass is still on it and the hard drive light is going crazy. At 72 I know I am in well over my head but I thought I could help. So far b6 has not crashed on me I have HD and Image set at max and with a 4gb GTX 960 am getting about 40 fps the trees don’t look good but the flights are smooth as silk
