April 17, 20251 yr Commercial Member I have to say this. Laminar are absolute machines. They're coming out with updates almost every week. And these aren't minor updates. This one is 2.6GB on the Mac.
April 17, 20251 yr Wow, beta3 is out. It's mine! ✈️ [Pc Intel i3-4160 3,6 GHz, 8 GB di RAM, GeForce RTX-3060 12 GB, Win10 Home 64 bit]

April 18, 20251 yr Waiting for that TBM now…. Been waiting along time too! 😄 are we close Goran? Regards Paul EGCC

At this point, almost all of it has been remodelled, which was never the plan. It was just meant to be a few fixes. No ETA, but it's the point where I'm very happy with how it looks. Perhaps 20% of it the model remains to be completed with the 3D, then it's headed for the texture department.
April 19, 20251 yr It seems to me that I have switched from MSFS to X-Plane on last year at the right time.😉 Especially almost every XP12 update brings new and cool features to the sim. Patric Edited April 19, 20251 yr by pscharff
April 19, 20251 yr These are the things that make me take xp12 seriously. Weather Improved physics for icing and turbulence within clouds.
April 19, 20251 yr That’s great to hear Goran, looking forward to getting my hands back on the tbm. You know I’ve been flight simming since 1999, I’m 58 years old and I’m well into this hobby, got the Microsoft simulators installed with all the major addons, you name em I’ve got em all but I keep keep going back to the Challenger and as I say the TBM when you guys release it, and are you doing a Airbus A220??? Correct me if I’m wrong … but over the years I go back to XPlane for that true feeling of flight as far as you can get anyway on a PC but yiu guys make best for sure, fenix and pmdg are great I know, inibuilds etc all mega but that Challenger and the TBM….. WOW…. I love em! I’ll fly em forever and the A220 if you are going to do that too! Cheers 🍻😄 regards Paul EGCC Regards Paul EGCC

Sabes que llevo haciendo simulación de vuelo desde 1999, tengo 58 años y estoy muy metido en esta afición. Tengo instalados los simuladores de Microsoft con todos los complementos principales; los que se me ocurran, los tengo todos, pero sigo volviendo al Challenger y, como digo, al TBM cuando lo lancen. ¿Y van a hacer un Airbus A220? Corríjanme si me equivoco... pero con los años vuelvo a XPlane por esa auténtica sensación de vuelo, hasta donde se puede conseguir en PC, pero ustedes hacen lo mejor, sin duda. Fenix y PMDG son geniales, lo sé, los inibuilds, etc., son geniales, pero ese Challenger y el TBM... ¡Guau!... ¡Me encantan! Los volaré para siempre, y el A220 si ustedes también lo hacen. Saludos 🍻 😄 Saludos Paul EGCC🤣 You were doing well until you came to Inibugs....🤣
April 19, 20251 yr @jcomm thanks for the heads up - I’ve installed the latest beta and it’s phenomenal. I keep rotating with AFS4 and MSFS2024 and the look, the feel, everything is simply awesome with XP12. I’m not even using any orthopedic/author tho as I like the very consistent coloring (and crispness) of the scenery, the runways, etc. And I believe I've (finally) found a way to get a smooth FPS on my modest rig (10900K and 3070) - I set my Nvidia control panel to Max Frame Rate of 30 FPS, Vertical Sync to Half Refresh Rate (Adaptive), then run Lossless Scaling to "Adaptive" with a target of 60 FPS with Sync Mode to "Vsync" - and somehow it's allowing me glassy smoothness even when flying the wonderful FF 757-200 which is (for me) normally heavy enough on frames to make my PC drop below the sync'd constant 30FPS I need to stay smooth on my 60hz 4K TV. It's like a whole new sim for me, and I'm loving it! (latest XP12 beta)
April 19, 20251 yr Author @Republic DC9, Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm ! Yes, if we close our minds and eyes to what is going around with our World, mostly sad / depressing / awful..., we have to agree that we simmers should really be happy for the times we're able to live right now. We have two great simulators, well, actually more than two if you count AFS4 indeed, but also (although unfortunately in the military side of the spectrum) IL-2 and DCS World, but MSFS 2024 and X-Plane 12 are both excellent flight simulators. I can't stop playing both (and yet another specific of my RL flying activity - Condorsoaring 3). I can't actually say I prefer this or that one. All are simply AMAZING! MSFS 2024 is superbly optimized, runs smooth as silk on my low end rig, has ASTOUNDING scenery detail, has some really nice addons. X-Plane 12 is extraordinarilly realistic flight dynamics and overall physics wise, has the most advanced ever default / built-in ATC, which started with lot's of problems and limitations but has progressed so much and so well that it turns out to be my preferred even against BATC and FSHUD which I use with MSFS. Default ATC in MSFS is very buggy and limited 😕, and SayIntentions is interesting, but a bit expensive .... 12.2 has colours, lighting, crispness, that physics camera, weather rendering and effects that I have to consider the BEST EVER among all flight simulators I have used, not counting SlientWings and Condorsoaring for the soaring niche... We have to feel really Happy !!! Regarding your option, I decided to follow @Ianrivaldosmith suggestion and: 1) Have no FPS or Vsync defined in the sim settings or in the Nvidia Inspector or Control Panel; 2) Use RivaTuner to set FPS limit to 29; 3) Use LosslessScaling with 2x factor; and I get a very very smooth / amazing ride at 60 FPS !!!! X-Plane never performed so smooth and looked so great before 😍 Edited April 19, 20251 yr by jcomm 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)

Then a CL650 update (more like an overhaul with a few extras) then the A220.

If requests are welcome, I would like to see the warmer (yellow) lighting as seen in this video for the cl650. https://youtu.be/o2C496aeKb8?si=0oUmBjEbwEh0ST5t
