XP-12 beta 12 seems to be out.

[Swe_Richard 1,175]

Just got the notice. A 2gb download for me. Where can one find a changelog?

[Baber20 1,461]

Changelog usually drops after a few hours.

On a side note I am really liking the pace and frequency of these sim updates. Great job team Laminar !

odd they don't publish release notes at the same time as pushing the update

[Swe_Richard 1,175]

 It will be interesting to see the notes; 2Gb is quite the large update. Think b11 was like 45mb..

[UKflyer 630]

looking at the files it was installing mostly ATC, but also updated settings file and some environment files (didn't quite catch the name at the end)

[Baber20 1,461]

4 new shaders got added or updated.

Cloud_render_compute_mapping

Light_mapping

Ocean_shading_mapping

Terrain_mapping

Hmm.. might be one issue though: arming spoilers before T/O in the A330 seems to extend them when looking externally. From inside the cockpit however (ECAM) they are armed. Just a visual bug perhaps?

Caveat: This might not even be a new issue as I usually never use external views.

11 was just a hotfix for 10, and most of the 2Gb for 12 are the ATC voices, that need to be re-downloaded every time they add stuff to them. Does not mean it's not a valuable update, but size doesn't mean much in this case, imo.

Yup, it seems you are entirely correct.

Good amount of fixes. Finally the fuel trucks error will be gone from the log.  Great work on the ATC front.

At some point LR said the global scenery would get a recut and autogen should be improved but at this stage I don't know if these will make it into 12.00 given the December timeline.
For the subpar antialising we might need to wait until the engine can accept TAA, hopefully sometime next year.

I am so wanting the clouds bugs to be fixed - flickering when touching the ground and depth issues where distant clouds are seen in front of nearer clouds.

Jennifer's working up to her eyeballs in so many things... I'm sure she wishes she could.

[spearmint_flyer 579]

Did they get rid of those hideous beach coast lines all over the place? This is the only way I'd consider giving it a shot again. 

[Mike_CFII_MEL 790]

Hi,

Just need the flickers and airport vehicles that hover on the external networked visual computers fixed.
