Just release it for heavens sake!😀 Better this than the silence in the last two years, imho. Marketing have never been well done in the XP11 cycle, i still remember those horrible 20 fps laptop recorded XP11 videos.. So i am glad things are improving just like the graphics side of things in XP12 will finally improve (and sounds too, apparently) Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."

Especially regarding how good or bad exactly it will be for: performance, clouds, flight model (wind effects), weather effects, etc. Well, in as far as Flight Model goes, provided it is at least as good as the one in XP11, we're good ! But I think Austin has already mentioned some new features and enhancements of the previous one, so... Today I watched a twitter post where we can see the SuperCub landing in a grass airstrip ... WOW ! I almost couldn't tell the difference from a RL video ! Another aspect I've noticed is the crispiness of the scenery, the colours of the sky / ambient... These are surely a good step fwd from XP11. All in all, X-Plane 12 is now my main objective in as far as Flight Simulation goes, unless ED or 1C / 777 announce a civil sim 🙂 There's still P3D for a very good rendition of an Airbus A320 / 319 and systems, or the PMDG 777, but I am sure they'll come to X-Plane 12 as well. Actually, I'd bet Captain Randazzo might really want to look into X-Plane's world and possibilities once again.

I almost couldn't tell the difference from a RL video ! This one? I have been tweaking the flight model with one of our teammembers that flies a real PA-18 and posted it in our internal Slack channel - without anticipating that they would make a public one out of it (hence the mouse pointer). https://www.facebook.com/XPlaneOfficial/videos/279583047371150/ I could make stunning little videos like that all day with the alpha...it is in good shape already!

Not going to happen, considering XP's shrinking user base (steam charts), and the fact they have switched to MSFS and seeing massive sales. The jets will come, and then new ones (757). http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

He's probably shifting his developers from MSFS to XP right now! 🤣 Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉

December 23, 20214 yr I think I'll just leave this here in case some didn't know. https://msfsaddons.com/2021/11/23/pmdg-sold-more-dc-6-in-msfs-than-in-any-other-platforms-combined-737-unlikely-for-this-year/ So as a businessman, no I don't think he regrets his decision to abandon XP very much 🤣 Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
December 23, 20214 yr And I'll leave that here as well for the sake of completeness: https://steamcharts.com/cmp/1250410,269950#All Better go preorder your PMDG products soon, guys! Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉

Let me just say that making money isn´t everything to everyone 😉 Some people take pride in their work and their goal of making a "flight simulator" is not simply selling as many copies as possible.

What have you smoked? 🤣 It's been stable for more than a year, and considering that it's an old product at the end of life, XP12 will grow much more! 😍 Sorry dude.

Okay, and is Austin being a Samaritan also the reason why he milked the cash cow for years without feeding it? Maybe it's someone else who really isn't getting it 😉 But everyone is of course free to hallucinate about PMDG taking the U-Turn soon.
