Real weather or clear skies without turbulence?

Real weather.

Well, does it fly better without turbulence?

Not much 😕

Maybe it's a broken/missing yaw damper dataref then.

Nope, auto-coordination + Dutch Roll compensation by the AFS. Look from outside while flying manually or in AP, and see the almost constant huge tail "wonder"/deflection...

Other airbuses (Toliss and FF) don't do it so I assume it is something wrong in the default a330 fbw FM parameters?

Apparently it is due to the yaw damper. The default B737 does the same in turbulence, but the rudder doesn't move anymore if yaw damper is turned off. I don't know if yaw damper can be turned off in the default A330 though.

I think the yaw damper is reacting to the rapid changes in yaw during turbulence. Infact, if there's no turbulence, I don't see any unusual rudder deflections.

Probably it is moving too much and too fast though, I doubt the yaw damper of the real aircraft would produce rudder movements with such a high frequency.

Turn the Yaw damper off. I've stated my part that the default YD is faulted, afaik the official stance is the aircraft dev needs to fix it....

If turning the YD off does fix it, please report it.

Also, having a look in Plane-Maker, if I'm not mistaken the YD constants for the Airbuses seem to be fixed, while for other airliners they can be tuned.

Probably when they tick the fbw option.

What exactly does this parameter do? How does it benefit VR users?

Whatever it does, my VR fps get a healthy bump when using it.

Anyone experience PC working hotter after this patch?  My CPU/GPU temperature are up.

Absolutely, had to dial down my overclocked cpu ...

Still getting FPS drops in odd locations, like in the forest around ESGG

Is that default xp12 scenery/forests?

I spent some time just now trying weather and a cpuple aircraft and plavess for soaring flight on this last beta and there were some dense tree areas but I didn't notice impact in FPS.

Yes. If I disable 3d vegetation, the FPS goes back up.

1) I have a G2 and XP12 is basically unplayable in VR. I am not sure if it is G2 related but I have seen other users complaining about it.

2) There is an Open VR DLL out there that is helping a bit,

3) but it is not stable

1) I have a G2 too and the few times I use x-periment-12 I only do so in VR. did you adjust/reduce Rendering Resolution in your graphics settings? unlike in MSFS, unfortunately in x-plane you have to do that each and every time if you want to use different graphics settings for 2D and for VR. they have no idea what a modern comfortable UI looks like. for linux users this might be super luxury though. 😀

2) where? which, any links?

3) runs in the family 😀

I am getting ca. 50 fps in VR according to the steamVR applett in low density areas like KORS in the default C172. but I doubt those 50 fps, I think it is closer to 30 fps. and the pitch black clouds are back, or still there in the latest 12.0.5.1
