12.0.8.rc1

[turbomax 3,455]

just installed it.

hello old friend: strange clouds:

 

while I was typing this: changed into very pretty clouds, have never seen such convincing clouds in XP before:

 

but obviously still not completely fixed, unfortunately. a few minutes later strange clouds effects. not the end of the world, but still:

I thought the thread title was re. the current version 12.0.8.rc1, which still has cloud quirks.

Sure. Just pointing out what's actually happening. I just came to provide context. Can read up more about what's coming here : https://www.x-plane.com/2023/10/coming-in-x-plane-12-0-8-and-beyond-roadmap-update/

Yes, the clouds (and other visual stuff) will be for the next version 12.1.0. I think it will be a pretty big one. Let‘s see if we get a first beta before end of the year 🙏

Whoa.

DeltaWho's link does indeed say 12.1 is next.

with 12.0.8 in rc now that means to me we could see a 12.1 beta "in a week or two"

(assuming we don't need an 12.0.8 rc2)

Id been expecting a 12.0.9 and maybe a 12.0.10, but nope:

_____

12.1.0 is the release where we plan to integrate all of the fun stuff that our graphics team has been working on over the past few months. Expect to see things like:

Real Weather Improvement

No more square “Minecraft” cloud formations when Real Weather is enabled.

Cloud Shadows on Water

Better Bloom Lighting Effects

RCAS (Robust Contrast Adaptative Sharpening)

Softer, less aliased ground shadows

MSAA Improvements

• MSAA resolution that is photometrically correct
• MSAA of alpha-cut textures

Improved CPU Performance

Thanks to our new “modern collector” – the code that the sim uses to find all the scenery necessary to draw. We know that many users are now CPU-bound in X-Plane and this is step one to improve their experience in the sim.

Better water opacity

…because the real world is WAY more polluted than we’d like to admit. 😷

There was a ton of shimmer this ride with AA and AF at full right. Zibo mod also had some issues on descent, but that could be on Zibo's end. Also noticed that my control surfaces were very sensitive.

Skymatix reported in is latest video that controls feel better now, he said he can feel it heavier. There were sensitive until his latest release. Do you have the lastest?

Hey Mike,

Are the yokes in your home-pit force feedback? I sure love your vids.

Hi,
No force feedback, no stepper motors. 

Thanks
