Xenviro cumuloforms seem better defined but XP12’s scud / overcast / fronts seem very good, particularly as it’s still relatively new tech for LR.

Yes, I am seeing this too.  Also, the cloud shapes look very weird.

Is VR working in the early release? Thank You

Yes. Performance seem better, it’s working exactly like X-Plane 11. Really not worth the space on my ssd. Yet. jmho though. Clouds took a step backwards, reflections off the water are blinding, none of my X-Plane 11 planes are working. Yet. Just realize if you do buy it you are buying a pre-released version of the actual sim. So far it’s pretty meh 😑 for me. Oh yea, the gas truck is still driving right through me….

Someone let me know when it's time to PANIC.  In the meantime, I'll patiently await for more iterations of XP 12.  

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

few more observations (two bad and one ugly!):

bad: 737 N1 limit seems to be 92.5 doesn't go above this so takes forever (if at all) to climb to cruise level if heavy

bad: 737 swaying at cruise altitude, not sure if this is supposed to be turbulence or what. A lot of power changes also.

ugly: sudden lighting changes are back just like in XP11, cockpit goes dark to bright all of a sudden

Thanks UKflyer 👍

Oh my God, if the cockpits go dark instantly where is the "new lighting system"? 🙄
That's the old XP11 buggy lighting system. 👎
