Until Hifi release an AS update, I aint movin'

 

Would be good if devs could tell us what the updates mean in terms of new development possibilities.  What can you do with the new SDK that couldn't be done before?

There seems to be some significant improvements for VR user like, for example, the possibility of using WMR devices via SteamVR. I just ordered a Samsung Odissey, so that is indeed good news.

Besides that, I did a quick test with my Rift and using the new Single-Pass Stereo View option on the VR menu boosted my FPS`s sigificantly.

Well I am very happy as all the fixes and new features I requested to LM are there available on the list, I will be downloading tonight and perform my usual reports to my customers regarding the impact on the majority and most common ad-don's and of course how it affects my products.

Many thanks Lockheed Martin for listening to developers requirements regardless of how big or small we are.

Best Regards,
Simbol

I believe Pete/FSUIPC, mentioned the latest version would be compatable with the next P3DV4 release?

It is compatible, though the usual gang, AS, ChasePlane, Orbx, Couatl, FSLabs, probably SkyForce, are not yet compatible :)

It doesn't appear in the log the add-on.xml issue hasn't been fixed. Textures stop loading or wrong texture loading when a certain number of add-ons are activated.

Is this it?

Fixed issue that could cause incorrect or corrupt textures to load when having several scenery add-ons installed through the Add-on Package setup

OMG...the patch has been out for well over an hour and all the vendors haven't made their software compatible yet?  Preposterous! 

I'm at work so I still have several hours before I can even start with the patch...all my 3rd party software better work by then or they'll be heII to pay! 

EDIT: Thanks for the likes guys. I'm glad you all know it was a lighthearted stab at ALL of us crazy simmers that want all our stuff to work the second LM releases a patch or upgrade....knowing, like Simbol mentioned, that a good majority of devs don't see the patch until us lowly simmers do. 

Kudos to the devs who took advantage of their status and had the update in their hands for a while and not only did the testing to ensure compatibility, but also pre-staged their updates, probably pre-loading them to a ghost page, ready to just flip the switch when the OK was given by LM.  Good stuff all around...and LM....they are LISTENING to our Devs!  Anyone that worked with the MS teams in the late stages can appreciate how important this is to the future of our hobby.  I know MS ACES had their hands (budgets) tied by big brother, but it was frustrating to see all our great ideas fall on paralyzed (by budgets) hands.  The empathized with our cause, but could do nothing...YEA LM for listening....AND implementing!!

Like airport layouts (terminals, RWYs, TWYs, etc.) adding airports not in the sim/database, updating freqs., nav equipment, etc.  

Airports aren't staric.
