very interesting.
but when areyou going to correct the bug / crash : Vulkan device loss error?
so that we do not crash and receive always the same automated response?
thanks

Hello,

Device loss is a known crash error tracked as XPD-10830. The work around for device loss crashes is to turn off Vulkan and use OpenGL at this time.

Woah.. Jim Keir:
“Mission Editor for Microsoft FSX and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D, and XPForce for X-Plane).

Contractor/developer for Dovetail Games who commissioned ongoing development on a custom version of the FSX Mission Editor for their Flight Sim World.”
Finally a guy that could lift this sim somewhere!
Now let’s see if LR will actually use that great knowledge for anything….. 🙂

We understand the x-plane platform is still getting performance tweaks and architectural redesigns and still maintain compatibility here and there to certain extent.

Now Imagine you want to rewrite x-plane code from scratch.
So, What are the key area of the code that would have the most radical changes – as delta from where x-plane 11.53 is at right now?

Would you be ending up with a considerable different architecture altogether – or adopt many of the current methods and approaches of the sim engine.

Best wishes to Tyler on his new endeavors. He will be missed. I hope his departure doesn’t delay any work on bringing the multiplayer modules from Mobile to Desktop.

And thanks for all the updates Ben. You always bring gainful insight into the workings of LR and we appreciate you so much.

In reply to jörn-jören jörensön.

Without Sparker’s bindings, not all buttons will work – for some reason SteamVR doesn’t map everything through to the app by default. But you’ll get some functionality. Custom 3-d models to match the g2 are _not_ coming any. time soon.

To get the G2 controllers to work, I thought it would also be necessary to select the controller bindings by Sparker in SteamVR.

Is this step not needed anymore?

Thanks, Jörn
