Tony, could you make a test flying from LPPT?

My friend's M1 (Macbook Pro 16) doesn't want to fly from or into there 😕

Sure, but what scenery does he use?

Thx Tony!

Yep, your friend is right. I can't even load it up at LPPT, it just freezes on this screen and then eventually crashes (all default scenery). I'll report a bug to LR

Dear Tony,

thank you so much for testing and your feedback. I just passed it to José Rebelo, and while I don't think he will open yet another ticket, because LR Support never responded back to other than the first ticket, asking for additional information and then leaving him with no answer at all.

Maybe other M1 / M2 users can start reporting it too, and between youtube activity, Austin can pay some attention to XP's development... (sorry but indeed it's a shame that stuff like this isn't fixed for months - since then 2nd beta, as well as all of the inconsistencies with weather that presently make XP unflyable for many, at least me and this other portuguese user with a Mac which he actually bought just for XP12 😕 )

Yeah, there are a few utilities floating around that switches the screen to its native resolution

Well, I can run native 5K no problems, but at around 10 FPS - expected. My goal would be to run at 1440p for best upscaling (2.0x) results, and that does not work. Setting that resolution does not work, and it never worked in XP12 (since first release). Running 1080p upscaled to 5K just looks really bad, and FSR makes that worse even, of course.

I've posted some screenshots here over the UK 

I think it looks quite nice, and most importantly, it's really smooth (even over central london, loaded with objects). The antialiasing I agree isn't the greatest, but it's acceptable to me and doesn't bother me too much

 

I'm not a Mac users but I did spot that there's a test version of the free version of SASL 3.16 out yesterday that now has ARM Mac support.
https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/282813-sasl-316-preview-64-bit-lua-vm-apple-silicon-native-support/

That's still some way short of a full commercial version release but it is significant progress towards being able to run without Rosetta,

Wonder if the 03r1 scenery recut might have solved the problems around LPPT / LPMR / LPAR / LPST for ARM users ?

I tried LPPT.  I got up to "Finishing asynchronous loading", and it was hanging there for a few minutes before I did a "Force Quit".  MBP M1 Max.  Fully spec'ed out.

Thx for the test Goran. I'll pass that to José Rebelo, my friend who bought a MacbookPro 16 to run XP12 😕

Sorry for my late reply to this topic Tony.

I recently got back to sim flying again with XP12.

 

I'm using a Mac Studio M1 Max. It has 32GB Ram, but only a 500GB SSD because I'm mostly using external storage.

XP12 has worked fairly well for me, but as I am new to XP I still have to discover how to either install or access better scenary.

My biggest issues have been using 2 external Lenovo 2k screens. I had a lot flicker and parallel lines on the screen appear.

I spent a lot of time playing with colour profiles, resolution and refresh rate to improve things.

I'm still not totally sure which gfx settings are best for my setup to get the most out of it.

I have enjoyed flying from my local airport in Derry, Northern Ireland though.
