June 20, 201411 yr No info available so far at the Devs blog.

June 20, 201411 yr Downloaded and tested using a few scenarios I've been testing each Beta with. I think they may have done a cloud tweak as I'm not getting hammered as much on FPS on those. Interested to see the Dev post when it pops up.
June 20, 201411 yr Author Yes, although my only experience was with b3, I noticed slightly better performance with this b4 in cloudy skies, but not only...

June 20, 201411 yr Maybe they did nothing and just wanted to see what improvements we might report? :rolleyes: Officially retired
June 20, 201411 yr They update the "Miscellaneous Bug Fixes" of the beta release notes (scroll down) before releasing new beta versions (at least they did for the last two) :smile: Bugs fixed in beta 4 (coming soon): METARs reporting only vertical visibility are interpreted correctly If a METAR reports a visibility as “X or more” X-Plane now increases the visibility based on the dew point spread: The less moisture is in the air, the more visibility you get! Read METARs reporting visibility in meters instead of kilometers correctly fixes for French translation fixed display of new 10.30 commands on the joystick and key assignments screens fixed no gear sound playing when loading a replay file you can now enter negative values for some limits in Plane Maker, for example a lower redline for negative oil temp fixed cloud and time-of-day settings in the quick-flight startup screen fixed broken click spots for CLR and COM swap buttons on new GPS pop-up fixed direct-to not working for discontinuing an approach and going to a different airport using the new GPS fixed some modal pages of the new GPS (like MSG) not switching back to the page where you came from the new GPS now depends on both avionics power and the electric bus you select to power the instrument in the panel editor of Plane Maker fixed COM frequencies not displaying correctly in replay mode made the glance view commands act relative to the current view and return to it on release cleaned up the UI in Airfoil Maker cleaned up the UI for loading real flight recordings from XAvion into X-Plane Fixed TrackIR support that was broken in earlier Betas changed the code that downloads stuff from the internet – if you experience problems with the update check, getting new updates, or downloading real weather, please file a bug! Networking code used to check for updates now uses libcurl – this may help users who have problems updating X-Plane behind a proxy server. (This change is for X-Plane – the change has not been rolled into a new installer yet.)
June 20, 201411 yr Author Maybe they did nothing and just wanted to see what improvements we might report? :rolleyes: LOL! A Placebo update :-) But I think they actually did something, although I have not been testing XP10 for quite a while, during the last couple of days I tested XP10.30b3, and on the same sceneries, and with or without clouds, I get better FPS.

June 20, 201411 yr How many programmers are working on XPX, and is it full time? Bob Officially retired
June 20, 201411 yr Author How many programmers are working on XPX, and is it full time? Bob I guess around 4... (?)

June 20, 201411 yr fixed broken click spots for CLR and COM swap buttons on new GPS pop-up fixed direct-to not working for discontinuing an approach and going to a different airport using the new GPS YESS!! Finally got to try out the GPS and it worked!! made the glance view commands act relative to the current view and return to it on release This will be great for the Hatswitch.
June 20, 201411 yr I see trackir on there. Is TrackIR support native in Xplane or is a plugin of some kind required?
June 20, 201411 yr I see trackir on there. Is TrackIR support native in Xplane or is a plugin of some kind required? It's supposed to be native but you need a plugin to get it functioning 100%. I filed a bug and got a response from Ben, he was wondering if it work prior to 10.30. Will test when I get home ! AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX 4080S, Ram - 32GB, 32" 4K Monitor, WIN 11. Eric Escobar
June 20, 201411 yr TIR has always worked natively for me so not sure exactly what was wrong but no matter!
June 20, 201411 yr Definitely better fps. What I don't get it is why those new clouds just gradually appears as you approach them, I mean being relatively close. Not sure if just me, hope this may be improved in future betas. Alexander Colka
June 20, 201411 yr Definitely better fps. What I don't get it is why those new clouds just gradually appears as you approach them, I mean being relatively close. Not sure if just me, hope this may be improved in future betas. Sounds like an alpha fade approach. Hmmm, don't think that would be a good approach for clouds but if it is believable then I give them credit. Bob Officially retired
June 20, 201411 yr TrackIR3/4/5 support is native on Windows, where X-Plane can use the native TrackIR driver. For Mac and Linux there exist "unofficial" solutions using the third-party plugins "linuxtrack" and "PilotView". Flight instructor and commercial pilot. Flies everything that has propellers.
