I havent been able to follow all the updates but does anyone know if there has been improvements made to VR? I tried the Beta when it came out and VR was unplayable for me..

Thanks

John.

Hi,

Looks like they introduced a network issue in Beta 5.

Can you be more specific ? Not near my sim rig until next sunday, but I'd like to get prepared for Beta 5 🙂

[UKflyer 630]

I can confirm that Beta 5 has “Broke” my Full Cockpit networked 3-Screen External Visual Sim. The Server (Master) is working fine in beta 5 BUT the three Client (Slave) External Visual networked screen, on separate machines is “Kaput”. Each Visual machine will freeze solid after receiving 1frame of Server Master networked connection. Has been working great up to beta 4. I sent in “Bug” report to X-Plane. Unfortunately I don’t know how to go back to beta 4. Could reload XP11 in emergency. Bottom line DON’t update to beta 5 on all machines like I did.

Run the installer (it should be in your root XP folder) and deselect the option to update to new betas.

This should revert your XP, although in this case I don't know if it reverts it to beta4 or goes back to beta1.

stuttering and pauses still exist ... no matter what settings are (nvidia 3070ti)

Hi,

I think Pat hit the nail right on the head with the network issue.
