General
● Fixed performance issue introduced with beta 5
● Zink got enabled again for NVIDIA graphic cards
● Brake temperatures are cooling related to the speed (they cool down faster with airspeed)

Bug fixes
● XPD-15318 – Feature request: Brake temperatures dataref is writable.
● XPD-15392 – Visibility in real weather limited to 10 SM if METAR contains visibility 10SM.
● XPD-15550 – “Oil temperature too high”.
● XPD-15580 – Dev assert when attempting carrier approach.
● XPD-15583 – Performance regression on systems without ReBAR in beta 5.
● XPD-15584 – “What’s new” popup causes crash on exvis.
● XPD-15587 – G1000 shows X-Plane 12 logo only on external visuals.

brillant thank you very much for the update, glad it wasnt just me

Welp, shimmering is still there

They didn't say they fixed it, also ai bugs still not fixed, not an easy one I suspect.

Does anyone else here use the airfoil labs Cessna 172? I've noticed a really drastic reduction in FPS now when using this. Other aircraft are fine

Hi Tony,

I'm flying the Analog with Reality XP 750, having horrible FPS and stutters. 

Beta 6 No Zink

 

Once in the air it seemed to smooth out, still not as good as before.

Just found if I use ATC when window is visible, sim just about stops.

Removing Global Forests v2 back in b3 solved the stutters while on ground for me. 

Same here regarding GF V2 but since Beta 5 I have added it back in and it doesn't induce stutters any longer for me.  Beta 6 is the best performance I have seen so far in 12.1.

Hi Tony,

AFL C172 NG DIGITAL FPS is pretty much the same with beta 6, hasn’t really changed.

fly safe

Thanks. I have both versions and both are pretty much unflyable now in 12.10, which is a really pity as they were fantastic previously. I hope the dev will release an update

Observation - this iteration - overall performance deterioration. At say a large international terminal lot of AI traffic max weather rendition with a reasonably complicated model - boom down to 22 FPS can only double that with something less ornate and then in a rural area maybe 45 fps. Do not notice any so called stutters, anti- alias seems to be worse or the changes have made it worse. Light bloom in daylight is excessive. Sim program runs smoothly does what it should but noticeable lag now and then say with calling up a menu or similar. 

Zink on or off no difference on an NVIDIA card. As I have no idea if any of the models I use on a Win operating system has zink - I just keep it unchecked again. Why add a superflous routine. 

But in 3 betas I have gone from 60-80 FPS to 20. 

Graphically quite impressive as a few other shots about have testified too! 

Think XP Reality has become problematic with the old Carenado PA31 - marginal on XP12. Rotate MD80 remains a complete bust! Everything else - good and working as expected.

Models don't have a zink. XP itself has the zink. If you're referring to Sid's job security, it is indeed more than sufficient (superfluous). Otherwise it's just a checkbox there for you NV users to ignore and leave turned off and never look at again. Seriously.

Default sim? No addons? If so, not many folks are complaining about that status combo with beta 6 and you should file ye olde bug reporte.

That dev is super slow to update, maybe a year from now if you are lucky.

Performance is the same for me. Try installing a clean second copy.

agreed. same here,  if you use an unoptimsed scenery it tanks the frames still.
