Ben & team seem to have taken a pause

Well, it is Christmas and new year! I would think most of us have taken a pause.

Yes of course but I was referring to the dev blog which was last updated at the beginning of October

I get things like, "Make X-Plane more like MSFS"

Erm, why not just load up MSFS?  😂

There's no point repeating everything that you think is wrong with X-Plane 12, every day.

It is unfortunate some load up a new release and go looking for the issues, rather than enjoying the updates.  

I'll tidy this up for you.

Great! Hoping that you won't unnecessarily contradict us, disregard our issues or tell us "it's going to be fixed", here's a short list:

Great! here is a constructive initial list I made up.

- performance, performance, performance - I posted some screenshots earlier of the awful performance that I get. There's literally no excuse anymore, every opengl and vulkan benchmark I run I get FPS in the hundreds. In MSFS I get solid 40+ FPS maxed out. I don't know what's happening with this sim but this is unnacceptable, and should be investigated by Laminar above everything else

Performance improvements would be appreciated, especially <insert helpful examples here>

- weather - yes, we need proper, functional real time weather. Yes, clouds could look better. We need proper snow coverage (also something that I covered in another thread), we need snofwall

I appreciate a weather update is on the way, but could I ask that snow coverage and accurate real time weather in particular are looked at?

- Terrain and scenery - I know this has been announced as being updated, but I think they could've at least updated the mesh for the final release. Mountains, rivers, coastlines, roads still look like a game from 20 years ago

I am enjoying XP12, but feel the ground terrain needs updating to modern standards - is this in the plan?

I think these edits will make your suggestion more likely to go into an email to the LR team.  Positive feedback will always be appreciated, but a post like yours full of negativity may be less likely to make it.  Hope you can see how you could improve your posts.

Ben & team seem to have taken a pause with his regular posts on the dev blog

I kind of second this. Really loved the blog posts. They should definitely do a monthly blog post on how things are progressing. Maybe tease us with upcoming features...Would spice things up.@GoranM I hope you can ask the team to make this a possibility?

Tagged twice while I was sleeping. Why?  I don’t work for laminar. If you want laminar to do something, ask them. 

Edit:

@Baber20 Out of curiosity, I wanted to come back and edit this after some reflection.  I had about 8 or 9 notifications on my profile when I woke up.  Then I saw the forums, particularly the feature request thread, was getting stupid.  

I'm all for suggestions, but posts like this one, make me shake my head in disbelief, that there are some who can't just make a simple, legitimate suggestion, and I just want to go back to reading threads, while sometimes replying.  

I'll make a note to never come on the forums before having my morning coffee.

It is unfortunate some load up a new release and rathen than enjoying the updates, have to look into poor performance due to bad development practices. and on top of that, being told that it's their fault.

Please spare me your grammar lesson. I've been there already. When you're constantly being contradicted, being told it's your fault and that you're not entitled to any opinion apart from praising, you get sick of it.

Best to just prove whose fault it is, then there is some hope to get them to fix it.

Thats never going to happen when its not clear to anyone what problem actually is.

Also even when there is a problem its not necessarily going to get prioritised for a fix.

CTDs with real weather on is surely a high priority issue for everyone, tracking down a way to recreate them quickly and reliably doesnt seem to be something anyone has managed yet, without a recreate any attempt to fix will always be just a best guess.

conversely lack of cloud reflection on water is also something everyone would like to have, but not if the current implimentation causes random CTDs.

At the far extreme there is people basically claiming not perfectly positioning a cloud front in the view from their bedroom window and getting the current temperature in their garden accurate to 5 decimal places is an "issue" Laminar need to prioritise....

As far as the performance issues go, I narrowed it down to some possible causes, but that's as much as I can do without access to developer tools. I reported everything I got to Laminar.
