Bought it on day one, my wallet hurts as I had also bought the A340-600 a few days beforehand. I don't regret buying any of them though :)
 

I'm so hesitant due to FPS, I have a Ryzen 9 3950X with 32g of ram and a 2070 Super and it would really tick me off if I got low FPS when the rest of my planes run in the 60s and higher.

Also got it and, while it is a solid add-on, there are definitely areas that need to improve so that the Q4XP matches the Majestic offering (LNAV, Terrain/WX Radar being the most evident ones).

Good to know, thanks. Majestic works great in VR and FlyJSim so far is not so good(I hear). Since VR is all I do I have to wait to see where this goes.

 

All right. VR support has been around for a while.
But has the performance actually improved with the latest v1.12 update ???
This is crucial for me when making a purchase decision.
I only fly in VR, and my equipment is high-end, but .... 4 years ago 😉
(i7 8700K; 1080Ti; 32RAM).

Went from 25 to 50 fps.in vulcan.

Q4XP Patch Day!

  You will need to reactivate.

 You will need to redownload from the org store

1.29 Date : March 3rd 2023 - Separated XP11 and XP12 versions of the Q4XP into their own zip files. Please Redownload the correct version for the sim of your choice from the org store. - Adjusted lighting to account for changes in xp12 ## UNS: - Fix crash on FMS shutdown due to use-after-free bug. - Fix crash that could occur in some cases when scrolling through the flight plan. - Improve magnetic declination handling on CF legs. - Fix crash due to bad headings sent by X-Plane in some situation. - Fix crash when directories are present in Output/FMS Plans with the `.fms' extension. - Fix route files not being closed correctly in some circumstances (leading to "too many open files" errors).

Enjoy your Flights

!

 

 

This patch will NOT require reactivation. ( from the previous patch )

- Fix crash with zero-length TF legs (PAFA -> PAFA).

- Fix crash when sequencing on the outbound portion of a PI leg.

## FMS:

- Add support for pilot routes.

- Add APPR PLAN page in FPL/MENU 2 when an approach is linked into the flight plan.

- Add MAP DISPLAY page to select visibility of missed approach legs.

- Improve FIX page UX to match real unit. - Improve airport database loading logic.

- Revert de-sensitisation of the glideslope signal when no DME is available.

- Fix airports missing from the database in XP12 due to new runway surface codes.

- Fix some symbols being exported, leading to stack corruption on some Linux installs. - Harden Flight Guidance Computer against bad input data.

- Fix AF/CF sequencing.

- Remove some unneeded logging.

Enjoy Your Flights!

Just some minor fixes to clean things up and let you set you payload again.   You will need to reactivate.

1.25 Date: November 18st 2022

- Fixed payload system issue.

- Fixed errors about datarefs.

Enjoy Your Flights! To fix crash on load of Q4XP in XP12: Remove the Q4XP folder from the aircraft folder, Launch XP12, When you get to 'Create New Flight' screen move Q4XP folder back in to the aircraft folder. Start a new flight at any airport in the stock 172, Then Run the Skunkcraft updater, when finished restart the sim.

Is this serious? If I buy this aircraft, do I also need to find this thread to make it work?

What are you referring to?

The patch notes.

Why would you need this thread to make it work? They are simply patch notes for the latest update

Then, what caused the thread? It's really no problem at all here.

It's just a thread to talk about and discuss the addon, including opinions and patches. The very point of a forum? Not sure what you are getting at.

Can't wait to fly this bird again. I was expecting for these fixes since Zink was introduced. For those interested in buying it, it's worth every penny.

Patch dropped yesterday! Posted by FlyingJackal. 

1.38.2
Date : April 21st, 2025

## UNS:
## New Features

- Add Selected Crosstrack (lateral offset) functionality in NAV > MNVR > SXTK.
- Add SID, STAR and approach procedures parsing when loading .fms files.
- Pilot routes are not pre-loaded at FMS boot time anymore, but only
  when selected for insertion. Pilot route list is refreshed when the
  PLT RTE page is called up.
- Add support for saving the flight plan to .fms files (FPL > MENU > STORE FPL).
- Change MFD north-up/plan mode behavior to match real UNS-1:
    - when the FPL page is shown, plan mode shows the original flight
      plan, without any direct-tos.
    - plan mode focuses the leg *before* the selected leg on the FPL
      page, rather than the selected leg itself. If NAV page is
      displayed, plan mode focuses the current TO leg.
- Runways can now be inserted in the DTO, PVOR, HOLD FIX and FIX pages using
  the AAAA.RR syntax (EGPH.24 for example).
- When a runway is selected as a PVOR waypoint, the Desired Track field now
  pre-fills with the runway heading.
- FPL, DTO, PVOR, NAV LEG, HOLD FIX pages now show the current TO leg on
  the second row when first opened (#53).
- Add Power Failure auto-resume if power is removed for less than 7 minutes.
- Add various missing sequencing-related FMS messages
  (WPT ALERT, NEXT LEG UNDEFINED, CURRENT LEG EXTENDED).
- Improve navigation display flight plan update timings.
- Improve guidance into teardrop and direct holding pattern entries.
- Save CDU screen brightness between boots.

## Fixes

- Fix CTD when approach label is deleted, then APPR PLAN page opened.
- Fix CTD when entering unknown fix names of more than five characters on DTO page.
- Fix CTD when going direct to an off-route pilot-defined waypoint.
- Fix Standby mode disabled when FMS power is removed.
- Fix CTD when computing a zero-length holding pattern.
- Fix CTD when accepting an empty cursor on the NAV LEG page (#67).
- Fix CTD due to corrupted pagination data when accepting holding pattern fix (#68).
- Fix CTD when sequencing out of a hold and the Hold Definition page is shown.
- Fix CTD when accessing the HOLD ENTRY page for off-route holding patterns (#70).
- Fix CTD when parsing navigation database files with non-standard whitespace characters.
- Fix CTD when entering unknown fix names of more than five characters on DTO page.
- Fix hold inserted at first occurrence of waypoint even when otherwise selected (#69).
- Fix dates formatted in local language instead of English on some Linux systems (#71).
- Fix color discrepancies in some CDU color sets.
- Fix VNAV inoperative when flying the same approach a second time (after a
  missed approach for example).
- Fix bad holding pattern computations for navigation displays.
- Fix wrong magnetic variation applied to some legs.
- Fix Procedure Turn (PI) legs not enforcing the correct turn direction when
  sequencing to course reversal step.
- Void approach guidance and logic when any leg past the approach label is
  removed or modified.
- Fix leg-specific magnetic variation data not sent to other FMS during cross-fill.
- Avoid syncing the navigation leg set with the flight plan if it woul result in an
  invalid leg sequence.
- Fix error when parsing .fms flight plans that contain approach transitions.
- Fix slight jitter in the LNAV guidance command when sequencing between legs.
- Make "vertical waypoint alert" a silent message (no flashing "MSG") like IRL.
- Fix altitude preselector behavior when AP is set to ALT mode.
- Fix path prediction using capped speed for holding patterns.
- Load the navigation database asynchronously, so the FMS doesn't stay
  on if power fails during database load.
- Synthesize IF legs at the start of procedures beginning with HX and FX
  legs, to match IRL behavior.
- Fly-over waypoints are no longer (incorrectly) marked with a star
  on EFIS route displays.
- Re-write part of the cross-fill implementation
