:Party: :yahoo: update your copies! no list of "new features" yet from Ben's blog

Those infos are in the Beta Wiki:

http://wiki.x-plane.com/Beta#X-Plane_10.20_Release_Candidate_1

• Waste-gate has been fixed for turbo-charged recip airplanes with a waste-gate. For example, the Carenado Mooney will now develop 190 HP on the runway, not 40 HP.
  
• X-Plane won't recommend safe-mode just because Plane-Maker is open.
  
• French translation updated.
  
• Fix for crash in custom scenery when using library objects on sloped terrain.
  
• Fixed crash when using ppjoy virtual devices with analog hat switches. (We do not support analog hat switches, so do not set one up. But now they won't crash the sim.)
  
• The installer will re-launch the sim in the same mode (64-bit or 32-bit) as you had before when auto-updating. Note that this will only work on the first update _from_ rc1 to a new update.
  
• Worked around black sky on Intel HD GPUs in HDR mode. Note that these GPUs aren't very powerful, so we recommend running with HDR off.
  
• Worked around shader compile fail on Intel HD 4000 GPUs.
  
• Fixed nav-aid saving to not write out bogus NDB.
  
• Fixed crash on Mac with PS3 controller over blue-tooth.

WHEW! Glad that was fixed...

-Worked around black sky on Intel HD GPUs in HDR mode. Note that these GPUs aren't very powerful, so we recommend running with HDR off.

 

This is useful to me, as the computer I do much of my WED design work on has an integrated Intel GPU... I fire up the sim real fast to get a sense whether or not what I just made looks about right... and I use HDR to verify the lights I placed are juuust right for the airport. It got a little strange to see the black sky!

 

I could never actually USE X-Plane on that computer for any actual flying, but at least I can now use it a little better to visualize my design work.

I updated to 10.20r1 and now my joystick is messed up (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro). I don't know whats going on but most of my aircraft want to turn to the extreme right as soon as I apply throttle. From the outside, the rudder is straight and visually I can see no reason for it wanting to do doughnuts on the runway. I tried recalibrating my joystick but it doesn't work. On the calibration page, it shows my joystick as being pushed to the extreme right even though it's not. I pressed the button 'use this position as the centre' but it makes no difference. I reset everything and it still has the same problem. Stranglely the Cessna 172 flies pretty much fine but all other aircraft including payware don't.

 

Any suggestions? It's really frustrating and impossible to fly.

 

Cheers,

Steve,

 

I have not had any controller issues, but am using CH Eclipse Yoke and CH Pedals. There were a few minor button resets upon starting up, but nothing major. So far, so good!

 

I did notice some scenery improvements in my local area.

 

Thanks Team!
