Please consider reviewing the v12 keynote video and updating customers on features that haven’t been delivered. (Example: civic/commercial/ports/stadiums/lighthouse autogen).

I’ve experienced a bug..

If I move the camera close to water and pan the camera up then the water gets really weired! It make all imaginable artifacts possible, blue all over my screen with many shapes.

Is this going to be fixed anytime soon?

In reply to Sidney Just. Can't you move to the UK then for all of the readers sake? :D

Hate to be a pain, but under ‘What’s Coming Next?’, ‘highlights’ is missing a few letters.
I just thought I would point that out before others do!

In reply to Brian.

The piers don’t work right because facades can’t have vertical hard walls – it’s on my todo list but it’s not first. OBJs with hard walls should work for custom scenery.

Ben, two questions

1 does Laminar considers doing high resolution areas with important/interesting airports (like SBSP that sits on the top of a plateau or NZQN where, well, have you seen an approach to there?)?

Finally, I sent a bug report regarding some runway textures and the threshold markings, for FAA and easa being wrong, but not sure if it should be sent to wed or Xplane

What is the word on Seaplane and Flying Boat physics with relation to docking with piers? I have witnessed some physics wrt new WED 2.5 hangar ramp starts. Nudge the AC so the CofG is just over the edge of the hangar roof and down see goes off the roof. So it would be nice to coast up to a pier and have friction slow you to a gentle stop rather than climbing up the wharf and tipping over. Not a dev just a seaplane lover and WED artist

In reply to Kevin Townsend. We do sometimes have a tops limit - one of the things that makes it tricky to debug the clouds is that they can do almost anything given the right real weather file. We're doing a bunch of work on this now.

I’m impressed with the advances in cloud depiction.
It appears to me that clouds are being suppressed by a “tops” limit in some way. This gives a flattened unlifelike look when viewed from above.
The cliffs like shapes seen in cloud formations, might these be caused by weather reporting point regions? Tile edges?

In reply to Ryan. I think so? There was some discussion about additional sounds being needed and worked on last week, but I haven't seen the punchlist.
