Yeah, I saw that. What a good surprise!

[Franz007 604]

The biggest update we have ever seen for X-Plane:

General

• Clouds are blended at the voxel level and not the METAR level anymore, fixing pyramids, cubes and other obvious shapes
• Weather near METAR stations is blended using a softened voronoi diagram, not a lever law, resulting in closer-to-real METAR conditions at airports
• Restructuring of internal code to rationalize interaction between envelopes, moments and the sim
• Downloader is rewritten and will download the current weather faster
• There is a new weather server in use for more resilient METARs and debuggability by being able to replay old weather that has been flagged by support

World space cloud shadows

• This change moves cloud shadows from STR space into world space akin to regular shadows. This decouples cloud shadows from the weather domain. The registration between cloud shadows and the world has been improved.

Turbulence

• Improved turbulence system for smoother experience, especially around cumulus clouds.

Icing

• Updated icing effects on several aircrafts (A330, B737, C90 and Citation X)
• Icing based on the surface normal and wind direction. Added directional icing even without thermal sources
• Now with freezing rain and ice, some randomization thermal inversions for icing too.
• Added support for overlapping thermal sources

Control-Pad support

• Full protocol support for control-pad
• Weather system supports drawing T-storm cells via control-pad

Bug fixes

• IMC preset has stratus clouds for less turbulence for IMC training
• Cloud bases become thicker faster for better transition to IMC
• Fixed bug where bases of clouds were too high with low-ceiling weather
• Multiple fixes to METAR parsing
• Weather map shows raster GRIB data more accurately
• TCP connections work on ipv4 for dual-stack machines (needed for control-pad support)
• Fixed errors in cloud bases
• Fixed cloud bases to be tighter and fixed missing bottom voxel. This somewhat helps cloud bases

Graphics

Core Engine

• FXAA is always enabled when MSAA is selected
• Coverage to Alpha used on alpha-tested surfaces when MSAA is on for higher quality
• MSAA resolve is now scene referred for better visuals
• Depth of Field
• RCAS exposed in the settings menu
• Settings menu notice when textures get downscaled due to VRAM pressure
• VRAM improvements because more data is in the graph and the graph can better place allocations
• Smoothed shadows
• Cloud shadows for water
• Massively improved render graph rebake times
• Improvements to cloud shadow quality and atmospheric scattering quality

Lightning

• Add a slight color to the thunderbolts
• Make far bolts a bit fainter
• Make closer bolts a tiny bit thicker
• Fade the start of bolts a bit
• Bolt spill illumination reach was excessive
• Improve sound distance response

New particle effects

• Particle FX system supports particles that appear upon ground contact
• Particle FX editor supports copy/paste – finally!
• New datarefs to help support particle FX
• New built-in effects for JATOs, water bombing, ground scrapes, and rotor wash
• Overrides in the ACF to opt out of new FX if desired.

Water

• Water turbidity model fixed: water is not always completely transparent.
• Water color and clarity for default water depends on location ( For example; water near SABE is opaque and muddy. Unlike MBPV which is close to clear and turquoise water.)
• Cloud shadows are more visible on water
• Fixed bugs for orthophoto scenery packs that use water.

Important: these changes do not make X-Plane 11 orthophoto scenery packs “just work” without modification, because those packs have meshes that cannot support 3-d water. To be compatible with 3-d water, a DSF orthophoto scenery pack needs to be authored to X-Plane 12 standards. X-Plane 11 packs may have shadow lines at the water, “flat” 3-d waves, or other artifacts depending on the particular authoring.

Autogen

• Improved buildings for high urban houses in Europe
• Improved spawning of parked aircraft at airports. The system will always choose the largest possible aircraft, depending on the size of the parking spot

Systems and avionics

G1000 Enhancements

Startup splash screen

• Shows navigation database expiration date and version of X-Plane (thus version of X-Plane global airports)

NAV Page

• Default nav map: Added ADS-B traffic symbols and the option to display METARs
• Traffic map: Shows ADS-B traffic targets with precise velocity vectors (unlike old TCAS, we know precisely where people are headed) and flight IDs/tail numbers. The traffic can be filtered to normal altitude range (default), above (for climb), below (for descent) and unrestricted (to see all traffic at all altitudes)
• Stormscope: Shows lightning activity around the airplane by passive detection of electric discharge
• Datalink Weather: Shows in-flight weather received over ADS-B or XM satellite. Shows NEXRAD, Lightning, Cloud coverage, Winds Aloft and METARS
• Terrain: Shows track-up terrain warnings

WPT Page

• Airport: Display information about any airport. Pull decoded METAR reports for any airport (received over ADS-B or XM in real life)
• Intersection: Display information about any intersection, including its nearest VOR
• NDB, VOR: Display information about any navaid, including its nearest airport

AUX Page

• GPS status: Shows current GPS accuracy and GPS status (whether DIFF NAV is available). Allows de-selection of SBAS if desired for training.
• LRU system status: Shows status of all LRUs of the G1000 and helps with detection of failures. Allows verification of navigation database cycle.

Reversionary mode

• When started cold, the PFD stays in reversionary mode until pilot has acknowledged the database on the MFD

New datarefs

Flap systems additions

Johnson bar flaps

The Piper PA-28 has one of the world’s simplest flap system. It is completely manual, doesn’t require an electric motor, and simply puts flap control directly into the pilot’s hands. The Johnson bar between the front seats is directly connected to the flaps. This allows to actuate the flaps quickly or slowly at pilot’s discretion, and even allows to extend the flaps a little more than the last notch, if you keep holding on to the bar. “Milking” the flaps just right is a tried-and-true technique of commercial pilot students everywhere to nail their power-off-180 landings. 

Therefore, X-Plane now has a new, manual flap system. You activate it in Plane Maker by checking the box “Johnson-bar direct link” in the Control Geometry section of Plane Maker where you set the flap detents.

If this is active, the flap handle and flap extension are linked directly, with a few new behaviors, but all using existing commands:

• If the commands for flaps up/down are tapped, you get an immediate flap movement (ripping the handle up)
• If the commands instead are held, you get a nice gradual handle movement (observing the travel time entered in Plane Maker)

This way you can time your flaps precisely. Tap “2” three times quickly and you can rip the handle up click,click,click. Hold the “2” and you are nicely raising the handle to the next click. Release and hold down again for the next click. 

• If you are in full flaps, hold down the “2” and you can extend the flaps to 110%. They snap back as soon as you let go.
• If you have a joystick axis assigned to the flaps, it follows the joystick axis directly, with no delay
• The full extension of the joystick axis corresponds to 110% extension
• All datarefs for the flap handle now accept 0-1.1 range input and the handle is immediately linked to the flaps with no delay.

Dial-a-flap

Dial-a-flap is a system found on McDonnell-Douglas aircraft that allows you to select any flap extension between up and landing for takeoff. Simply dial the selected flap extension, then set the flap handle to the “dial-a-flap” position, and the flaps will move to the pre-selected extension. 

When dial-a-flap is selected in Plane Maker, one flap notch can be designated the “dial-a-flap” notch. By default, it will have a flap extension halfway between the notch above and the notch below, but the pilot can dial in the desired extension for takeoff. The desired setting is pre-selected with the dataref “sim/cockpit2/controls/flap_dial_a_flap” – then the flap lever is placed in the notch for “dial-a-flap”, and the flaps will extend to the selected setting. 

S-Tec ST-360

The S-Tec autopilot system has been extended to include the ST-360 altitude pre-selector and alerter, that works together with the System Fifty-Five autopilot. The little altitude alerter has its own baro adjustment that is independent from the pilot’s altimeter, so the pilot needs to remember to enter the altimeter setting in two places, otherwise the autopilot will level off at the wrong altitude. The baro adjustment on the ST-360 only works in terms of 1/10^th of an inch (as opposed to 1/100^th of an inch on the altimeter) so the level-off will only be approximately accurate. It is expected that the pilot will need to fine-adjust the altitude hold at the autopilot itself (the knob on the S-Tec55 adjusts the altitude hold in increments of 20ft). 

The new commands for the ST-360 are:

Command	Description
sim/autopilot/st360_dta	Altitude pre-selector: Data Entry
sim/autopilot/st360_bar	Altitude pre-selector: Baro
sim/autopilot/st360_alt	Altitude pre-selector: Alt

Approach preview

Approach preview is a function of some electronic HSIs that allows you to see horizontal and vertical deflections at the same time, and prime the autopilot to intercept one while holding the other. Most commonly, this is used for GPS navigation on the way to intercept an ILS approach. In this case, the HSI will be selected to the GPS source, so that the transition route can be flown. The autopilot in NAV mode will follow the GPS. Then, the ILS is tuned, and the corresponding NAV receiver selected for preview, using the dataref “sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/HSI_preview_source_select_pilot”

An EFIS capable of displaying a preview (such as the one on the Citation X) will then show the ILS in addition to the GPS. 

Arming the approach mode on the autopilot will then make the autopilot wait for the intercept of the lateral signal of the source selected for preview. Once that lateral deflection (the ILS in our example) will start moving in, the autopilot will abandon GPS navigation and switch over to the previewed source automatically, without pilot interaction. The autopilot seamlessly transitions from GPS to VLOC navigation and the HSI will stop showing the preview and instead switch the new source active. 

Electric clutch for helicopters

The clutch that is used on helicopters with reciprocating engines to connect the engine to the rotor system is now an electrical component. That means, its motor can be assigned a bus and an amperage, and depends on electric power to be working. 

The tachometer instrument can now also be electrically powered so it displays the correct failure modes. 

Single-lever turboprop control

Turboprops can combine the prop governor control and the idle/fuel control into one lever known as the condition lever. At the top range, it acts as the prop control, setting the desired RPM on the prop governor. Towards the bottom, they first feather the prop, and then ultimately shut off the fuel to the engine. 

To make such a single-lever control, in Plane Maker both the options for “feather when prop control at min” and “shut off fuel when prop control at min” need to be checked. 

In X-Plane, the condition lever can then be assigned the “Prop Lever with Feather and Shutoff” in the joystick curves screen. This way, the crossover points for feather and shutoff can be set to precisely match specific hardware. 

GPS & ESP update 

GPS override, setting the nav flag means the GPS provides a deflection and can be coupled

Setting the vertical flag means the vertical signal is valid and can be coupled. Added GPS2 obs dataref. Made nav id dataref writable (provided you have override_gps on ). Made a bunch of NAV-radio and GPS datarefs in cockpit2/ writeable. They were already writeable (with override_navneedles or override_gps) in sim/cockpit, so there’s no reason they were not writeable in sim/cockpit2/

This allows the autopilot to couple directly to any GPS that sets the TO/FROM flag to TO or FROM.

Refined ESP feel based on flite test of real plane

Refined ESP feel based on flite test of real plane. In the SR-22, the wing auto-level should be less of a ‘jolt’, and more just smooth, that you can over-power, like the real plane.

Garmin ESP features can be enabled or disabled per ACF in Plane-Maker

Authors can specify which ESP protections the Garmin provides with check-boxes in Plane-Maker. See this in the plane-maker autopilot screen and turn on or off as desired

Datarefs

• New Dataref for autobrake deceleration rate
  Auto-brake deceleration is now available as an array dataref, to pre-set the desired deceleration in g for each setting.

• Added dataref for MOR (manual override) throttle

Dataref description updates

Datarefs.txt updated with description of fuel pump dataref.

Fadec no longer writes to the N1 arc: This is a no-op in observable behavior – the value was never readable as it was immediately overwritten. The value one might be interested in (what is the limit N1 we can reach at full throttle) is already available as the dataref sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/N1_target_bug

Bug fixes

• G1000 “Big red button doesn’t work right anymore”:The red button wouldn’t work on the PFD, plus red button status was forgotten whenever the MFD restarted. In reality, the red button is a hardware button that’s stateful, it’s a switch, not a trigger button. That state needs to be applied with a logical OR. If the system thinks it needs to be single-display OR the button is physically pushed and latched, then we go single-display.
• DME speed correct with ground speed compression
• King Air Nav display fix: When using GPS override, you could only set the to-from flag, but not UN-set it.
• Added idle underspeed protection to the FCUs. Off for old aircraft, but can be opted-in by specifying an idle Ng or N2 percent
• Altitude intervention wasn’t working in climb with some autopilots
• Terrain layer works for all aircrafts now and not just the Airbus A330
• Terrain layer on the Airbus and the Citation ND is not longer cluttered by wind barbs

Other

• Added user-defined holds
• Added correct labelling for RNAV approaches where not all levels of service are authorised.
• Added banana (selected altitude target range ring)
• sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/fms_distance_to_tod_(co)pilot now works with G1000 enroute VNAV as well
• ADF needle interference by electric discharge: ADF needle will momentarily point to nearest lightning strike

Plane Maker

AHRS alignment time

• The “gyro spool up time” set in Plane Maker for mechanical gyros is now also used to determine how long the AHRS needs to align. During the time, the PFD shows the correct indications as its waiting for the AHRS to send a valid attitude.

Now with left and right cyclic defs 

• In plane-maker, make left and right cyclic defs for helos and then see diff cyclic avail in left and right directions 

Plane Maker flaps explainer video

• Plane-Maker now has an Austin explainer video found on the flaps page. Accessed by clicking the ‘Huh?’ button

Fix Plane Maker to set RPM for max torque for non-reciprocating engines

• This fix fixes both the UI, and also acfs if they are already hosed (by using a pre-alpha Plane Maker, as the bug is not on 12.08).
• Max torque RPM (maximum green RPM on the tachometer) is a sea level limit for reciprocating engines with fixed-pitch props. C152, C172 and the like  It’s basically the pilot flat-rating the engine by having to keep RPM in check, which goes up when you level off for cruise. It does not exist or matter for turboprops, jets, or electric motors. On everything but a recip engine, this var must match redline RPM.

Add service ceiling to Plane Maker

• Now enter max_atc_alt_ft in PLN for ATC to use, and the UI in PLN made a little less awful on the viewpoint screen

ATC

Bug fixes

• Fix AI not spawning as departures in some locations
• Fix crash when cancelling IFR in the air
• Correct ‘request departure information’ for the case where the airport’s closed.
• Airport/plane/phrase updates
• Optimise controller pressure setting updates.
• Other dev-mode asserts and rare crashes
• Correct some weather dataref descriptions

General

New screenshot options

• We added new options to create screenshots in X-Plane. Several settings can be adjusted under View -> Show screenshot controls. The screenshots are taken as usual by selecting File -> Take Screenshot.

Airport taxi centerline lights update

• Green color of taxi centerline to be closer to pure green and not cyan

Image overlay saved right

• Overlay image reappears when loading a config
• Can clear the projector overlay file and it will be gone when you re-load that saved preference.
• The node-dragging is finally right: grab the edges or the corners or the middle of the projector grid when viewing projection params and it should all drag in a natural way 

Fix synchronization of static aircraft on exvis

• Initialize random seed on exvis to that of master when initializing exvis via EXVI packet and skip explicit ini_rand_seed if on exvis.

CLI system restructuring and docs

• Every major CLI command now has help tips
• tokenization can now handle sub-token matching, e.g if a token is a sub-string of another the command will execute. this case used to cause a bunch of failures
• tab completion on real sim commands
• fixed incorrect identification of E46 (the ‘first’ airport)

Now with tuning to the warp-blending colors

• In the projector setup window you can select a background bitmap to be an overlay… normally it is shades of opacity for blackness to do custom edge-blending.. now there is a slider to set degrees of opacity for that file  convenient.
• In the projector setup window you can drag around the points and the edges with the mouse, and that should drag the lines around smoothly with the points being the vertices: no discontinuities or crashes or other annoyances should happen
• The little field of view numbers in that screen, they should now be every 10 degrees, and along the vert and horizontal cetner axis only, not splattered all over the grid.

Pro Customers: Run without default fleet or tutorials

• X-Plane can run with the default aircraft and tutorials removed. This allows pro customers to customize the simulator to integrate X-Plane with only their FAA certified aircraft installed

Log Airbus AP disconnect reason

• Increase logging around Airbus AP protections and disconnects so we can diagnose why people lose AP in the middle of unmonitored flights.

Add support script for ex-visuals telemetry

• These are shell scripts that can be double-clicked to start the sim with network telemetry gathering on for pro customers.

Fixed handling of installed stations

• Installed stations are handled correctly in the UI Station index conversions between UI and sim are correct

Linux Multi-Monitor Support

• Better support of multi-monitor setups in the UI on Linux via xrandr.

Updated POH manuals

• We updated the POH manuals of several aircrafts

So at least you have a lot of text to read, see the release-notes above 😁

[Baber20 1,496]

The SIM looks visually gorgeous now. Way better anti aliasing. The new bloom looks pretty amazing too.

[Franz007 604]

This is the biggest update we've ever seen in XP so far:

me giving every post on the first page of an avsim thread a heart or upvote is true progress 🤣

Welcome to the 12.1.0 Beta!

I know but to be honest, I expected something else. It's better but it won't do it for me at the moment. You don't need to make ten flights to realize this. I welcome the efforts and the improvements and I realize that it is very difficult to have a more revolutionary and spectacular result than this.

[Greazer 1,353]

Wow good to hear!
