March 4, 20206 yr I still think it's coming soon, however it will be an early beta and probably be frustrating to use. Recently, I ran into somewhat severe performance issues (probably due to the combination of UHD Mesh, Traffic Global and SFD Global), and 20% better performance will just be a drop in the sea. Currently I am looking at 25FPS in the default Cessna at LAX and I’m not happy. Really looking forward to see how FS20 utilizes the same system. May well be worse, but I really wanna find out. - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20

I hope so, I just what to get it installed in my Xplane11 2nd install that's set up for Beta's and see where were at with 11.50 AMD 9800X3D, NZXT X73 RGB AIO COOLER, Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7, 64GB 6000MHZ RAM, 4TB Samsung Pro NVME, 4 TB Crucial P3+ NVME, 4TB Crucial SSD, Gigabyte Gaming OC Geforce RTX5090, Antec C8 ARGB Case, X55 JOYSTICK/THROTTLES, LG 4K C4 42" TV/Monitor 120 Hz, 2 Dell 1080 monitors.

March 5, 20206 yr Got a hunch this particular beta will break the bug record - I envy you brave souls.
March 5, 20206 yr Commercial Member The point of the private beta is to eliminate the vast majority of the bugs.
March 5, 20206 yr Perception implies they will fall further and further behind the competition at this rate with no communication to the customers.
March 5, 20206 yr Commercial Member Austin is not interested in "beating" FS2020 as far as release ETA's go. And as far as communication to the customers are concerned: https://developer.x-plane.com/blog/ Edited March 5, 20206 yr by GoranM

Exactly why I have a 2nd installation of Xplane11 on my PC, IIRC LR recommends to do so for Beta's.

The "competition" will take a while to build out a fleet of great aircraft models comparable to what we can fly right now in XP. For the next year or two at least, it's going to be a decision about how much you care about what the world looks like outside the cockpit, vs. having exactly the type of aircraft you like to fly.

I have a feeling that MS reached out to some of the aircraft designers like PMDG so that the default aircraft will include some of their magic. I highly doubt that the "competition's" default aircraft will behave like FSX or even P3D.

March 6, 20206 yr Legacy code is still in, have no doubt that it won't take them a super long time to provide the same addons. Now, if they were to redo them to take advantage of the new technology that's another thing.. But i don't think they will, especially at first. People will be thirsty for more advanced planes right away. Either way, Austin should start to consider MSFS competition because where MSFS takes, XP does not. Which might or might not be financially acceptable for them too. You might say Austin can get (and probably does) money elsewhere and i agree, but to which extent, who knows?

I highly doubt that the "competition's" default aircraft will behave like FSX or even P3D. Yes, but the issue is that not all of us care about PMDG modern airliners. We're not all tubeliner fanatics. Me, I'm a simulator helicopter pilot for half of my flying. And I like vintage bush planes like Beavers and Pilatus Porters. That's going to take a while to show up in the "other" sim, and we still don't know if the "other sim" flight model is as good as that in XP.

March 8, 20206 yr Indeed... helicopters are still a strong point of X-Plane. There's that amazingly detailled Bell 412, and someone told me a recently released R-44 has the flight dynamics tuned byt Brett ( from the .Org ) ...

Well? Depending on what you are looking for. And I'm not looking to spend $40+ on carenado garbage that doesnt work , and people now complaining about the tbm, oh we have the zibo. Hmmm, that's it? Everything else freeware is ported from xplane 10, with no 3d cockpit, or no VR support. And the other aircraft, I have no interest in. Msfs will have exactly what I need, the tbm, caravan, 172, a320, the cessna jet. I'm good thank you.
