New X-Plane 11 Preview Just Released

Featured Replies

I've watched this about 6 times already. If this doesn't work us up into a frothy lather of expectation, I don't know what will! :smile:

 

Enjoy!

Hi Murfman,

 

Thanks for the heads up. It looks great - outstanding graphics.

 

I am making a hopeful guess it will be out Thanksgiving. That will take the load off of the servers downloading XP11 to fewer people who will not be at grandma's house.

 

If not I'll try and be patient.

You're a little too optimistic, here's what Randy Witt has to say in the video's comments:

Release date is by the end of this year, guys....

 

 

Anyway, fantastic video, some views are simply jaw dropping.

Jaw dropping :D I love the new lighting and reflection! It will be great:D

Best regards,

And he got more precise on that topic:

 

 

Tyler or Ben put up Nov on the website but I've always said it would be This Holiday Season (or by the end of this year). We may make November still but I'm not 100% confident statement.

What of AI and ATC?

 

I have XP9 and XPX...and my jaw is NOT dropping at this so far.

Looks great to me - thanks for sharing - will there be a demo for this - would assume so ?

What I don't like is the jumping (i.e. running at very low FPS) environment reflections on the aircrafts, e.g. at 00:25 and 01:55 in the video. Apparently it would break immersion a lot for me. If that is the only way to have good performance with environment reflections on, I'd rather turn them off.

We'll just have to see when we finally get our hands on it, and start optimizing settings for whatever hardware we're all running.

 

In that new clip, I was also seeing much more jagged aliasing on shadow edges in a few frames than I get on my rig. My shadow edges are smooth. But then I'm not running pbr reflections yet, so who knows. I suppose I would trade off some shadow jaggies for sexy reflections, but maybe we won't have to.

Very exciting times ahead for X-Plane!  Enjoyed the video.

A few VC panel shots would have been the icing on the cake.

Cannot wait :)

 

I have the Steam version and just got got digital download version of XP10, I figured I may as well have  XP10 & XP11 for the price of one.

 

Hoping for a Thanksgiving Gift too lol

It's still in beta.  Let's not jump the "bug" gun quite yet.

Beta or not, that is an official, Laminar-branded promotional video showcasing the product and building hype for sales. I think we have every right to comment on any small details that look a bit rough around the edges.

 

That said, they are small details and might be better on release. Meanwhile, everything else in the clip is looking very, very good.

Laminar branded promotional videos do not guarantee bug free releases.  Even Apple and Microsoft, with their operating systems, with their billion dollar budgets, multi million dollar advertising deals and countless testers, can't guarantee bug free releases.

You may very well have every right to comment, but on the other side of the spectrum, they have every right to delay release for another year to get more bugs ironed out.  

I'm not trying to argue with you.  I'm just saying it's not even out yet.  So let's just wait and see.
