That doesnt mean its working right, Ever since XP11 and the transition from old OGL to the new vulkan platform, Laminar have being cleaning out the sewer. So not sorry, there is not much backward compatibility anymore, users demanded more and they demanded better performance with more. So Laminar did what they had to do. forcing developers to comply with the latest texture formats. programming styles etc etc to make sure everything fits within the SDK guidelines, so yes thing get shown to be broken than they get fixed and you see better performance. Bit by Bit. Look at how far its come. So if you want things to work run a separate copy of xplane with the Beta or dont complain if when its final and things break, 

I'm just waiting for the day when old SASL plugin releases will stop working, then it's byebye to a lot of unmaintained add-on aircraft (hello, Carenado/Alabeo).
