Is the Jar A320 & A330 working ok with PB15 ? thanks

I'm not sure about A320. I downloaded latest beta patch for 330 (I think it's version 8) and flew KSFO-PHNL without any problems.

I am still getting the pause and go problem that was introduced with Threaded Optimization being turned ON, it is turned off Globally but after installing PB 14 this problem is back, PB 15 did nothing to rectify it. In between pauses the sim runs fine and it ran fine before PB 14. Submitted bug report, will hope for the best.

I would not take the Threaded Optimization On/Off setting as scripture.  I think it was a mistake to pin that to the forum.  This can be compared to the use of Affinity Mask in other sims, and how some swore up and down it was necessary, when in fact it was dependent on the individual user's system.  Case in point, the TO setting may help, but that's as far as it should have gone.  I have said before that as we draw to a close on the Beta phase, this sim will separate the men from the boys, in that textures are being looked at more now, and rendering capabilities and optimizations are being conducted, so if you are finding that in one beta, everything was fine and now it's different, you will need to start paying closer attention to your settings.  i would follow the same mantra as was done with FSX and P3D, in that, you start your settings low and work your way up, paying close attention to your cpu and gpu limits and not so much about the fps count, as that is a direct result of the limits.

This video is a good reference point, as there are good explanations, as well as suggestions to making X-Plane really look good and perform well:

After all I'm a customer not a hamster .

LOL  I would then suggest to stick with XP10 and wait until XP11 is final.

A330 has more features and more intuitive IMHO. Also graphics seems a bit better

You bought a beta, dude, and Laminar was completely upfront about what you were paying for.  Stick with XP10 for now.

.there is a Beta and there is a BETA ...... very illusive definition ..... lol

XP11 is my first encounter with X-plane, after about 10 years I decided to abandon FSX, which in my opinion, came to a dead end, and with all the bugs and whatever is going on with XP11 I'll stick with it  and pray for good

.... just found out that deleting the "Preferences retained my Frame back .... still blurs shimming and lot of other stuff /bugs but we back in the air, for now !

Cheers

I think this video was done with stock XP PB15 clouds - pretty impressive

Try deleting everything in your preferences folder. I do this every time an update comes through. I make sure I keep a copy of the joystick & key preferences so I do not have to re assign all my controllers

Done, and though, graphic is kind of poor, shimming and blur, but I gained back my frames

Tnx for the tip

I would have to say no, those are not default clouds.  I'd been using default clouds through the betas, and with the release of PB15, the cloud rendering did change, and after one little tweak to the art datarefs, they still don't look like the ones in the video.  Those could be SMP, or at the very least, a custom cloud texture.

Don't get me wrong, they still look good though.

Those cloud layers in the beginning look really good - asked video maker see what he says Jim

If this is SMP I will definitely pick it up it looks terrific - waiting on is reply  

LOL it was me sent him a pm also

Another thing Jim noticed a moon - how is that happening in XP at the moment thought it was non existent

The moon (and stars) only disappear at High(HDR) and max settings in the current XP11. Go below that for non-HDR graphics and the moon is there. It's a known bug that should be fixed before release.
