Doesn't seem to be anything just a loop.  Everytime I run the sim it says new download but nothing is there.

I always run te Installer-Updater, choose "Update X-Plane", and it fetches the updt.

I'm on beta 4 now.

What's the consensus on X-Plane 12 so far?

Ryan, be sure you have the tick box checked for Beta. I had to do this. Good Luck guy..

Oh yes, no doubt a fantastic sim - the lighting, colours and terrain/cloud shadows have pushed flight simulation forward.  There is plenty of work to do, especially with clouds and adding shadows to autogen though.

It's already, in this Early Beta phase (we should try not to forget Early Beta...) a very enjoyable flight simulator, a true leap forward from XP11 in various aspects, including flight dynamics and systems modelling ( turbine engines for instance and as an example), weather modelling and rendering, light, etc..

Very good performance, I'd say better / smoother than XP11, specially for the added graphics quality, in my Ryzen 5600x + RTX 3060 Ti !!!

Are we close to release on dvd? Thanks.

I don't think so, unofficially it was mentioned a few months of betas before release, most likely to be at beginning of 2023
