I'm excited by the planned volumetric fog and rain (Thomson said it is a requirement for the Level-D sims running X-Plane as a visual engine).

Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER. Especially if you're on a modern CPU that can run a flight simulator well. These web servers aren't free...

If it is a requirement for level D, does xplane not currently run on level D simulators yet? Before volumetric fog, what were level D systems doing?

Nice views of things to come!

IMO the news regarding weather visuals are the most tempting.

Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

I agree with @Murmur Volumetric lights kill my FPS big time, but there are times when it's very cool. At night it certainly is impressive. I have never tried it while in flight because it brings my system to its knees.

Like the water turbidity data ref - there are times to enable it and times not. I turn it to default when near water as it takes away from ortho water fronts when enabled.

6 months down the road and still no large update.

What constitutes a "large" update to you?

We already got a very large update, remember the scenery recut? 😁


 

still cant use it at night 6 months, scenery recut is of no use to the many that cant use it at night

I guess you've forgotten about, and/or can't see the pinned topic right above this very post.

Gives you a very comprehensive description of the "large" update that's coming.

What, exactly, doesn't work, Peter?  

Are you getting CTD's?  Is it failing to load?  Is it freezing?

Can you please provide as many details as possible on what is not working?

I'm happy to offer you "first in line" support to help you get X-Plane "working" as it is for the majority of us.
