Please keep in mind we have not all the “belt tightening” we intend to do for performance.

I’m apprecciating the great work of Austin and his team since the very first version of X-Plane.
I think the “Recommendet Hardware Requirements” for “Apple Silicon” needs to have some detailed specification

It seemes to me that b05 had been slightly improved. But overall I can’t achieve a satisfactory graphics setup, which could at least compete with XP11 on a Mac mini M1 with 16GB RAM. It is impossible to geht a solid and stable frame rate of at least 20 FPS for most – if not all – aircrafts, which for me is crucial.

I think the Hardware Requirements for Apple Silicon needs some more precisely differentiation or maybe more precise definition of minimum performance in respect to the “Hardware Requerements”.

Thanks for the update. Beta 6 still crashes my External Visuals and has floating airport vehicles. I’m able to fly in beta 4.

We are tracking this issue as XPD-13130.

I’m still flying X-Plane 12b4, beta 5 locks up External Visuals. I’m in touch with at least 5 other Full Sim Cockpit that rely on Master-External Visuals. All of them have the same BUG in beta 5. We’ve all sent in Bug reports. I’ve purchased 4 copies of X-Plane 12 to operate my Full-Sim Cockpit which is unusable with the present beta 5. Can at least a temporary fix be instituted so we can fly again. Thanks for your help.

Probably best to ask on the X-Plane scenery forum, but from what I’ve read there, my understanding is that WED 2.5 is intentionally not available yet because the library resources for X-Plane 12 haven’t been finalized yet. For example, there are some assets in the library that are currently publicly available but will be locked down or changed at a later date. The recommendation IIUC is to stay with WED 2.4r2 and not use X-Plane 12 assets or features for now. (Tried to find the post where I read this but unfortunately couldn’t locate it.)
