Yep – that’s running under Rosetta and it’s quite zippy. A few reasons why:
– The M1 macs are big steps up compared to the same slot previously (e.g. mini to mini, MBA to MBA).
– Rosetta’s a JIT translator, not an interpreter, so it _is_ running ARM code once it cross-compiles it…I think as programmers we tend to think of emulation as a naive interpreted VM.
– On these smaller machines the GPU may be the factor, and the GPU code runs natively because it’s not ARM or x86.

It’s amazingly fast at reasonable settings, e.g High texture resolution, HDR and Object Detail Low to Medium. Even in Low visibility conditions I got like 35-40 fps.

And it’s still using Rosetta as I understand it? I’m looking forward to Apple Silicon version of X-plane 🙂

Not a major problem, just thought I’d pass it on.
Great job by all at Laminar, all the very best for 2021.

Nope, not using FlyWithLua .
I did try the “VMI-twick VR” which I think is good, but I also fly without it with good results.

Of course I have to tone down settings, I suggest to disable AA first to boost performance.

You can try the FlyAgi Tweak Utility 🙂

There is a freeware mod on the forum that has FMOD sounds, an autothrottle, an updated flight model, and a few other changes. You should be able to find it by searching “SF-50 G2 for X-Plane 11”

That makes sense, although I do think they updated the nave data once (from 1702 to 1802) in XP-11. $10 USD is pretty cheap as you said.

Yeah, that was what I meant in the original question, I was meaning like once a year or something. And, as long as you fly in the United States, you can geet the FAA CIFP with the latest Airac for free! Well, I guess we’re paying for it with our taxes…
