Just when you think it couldn't get any more whacky... 😂

But, but...stick shifting...

XP12 now confirmed as being a game. Checkmate, "serious" simmmers. (😉)

No issues on that front. NVidia does Vulkan-OpenGL bridging just fine on the driver level and has been for a long time now.

Well, Dartzman won't tell us what constitutes a "certain level", so it remains an utter unsolved mystery. Your script is fine, by the way. I'd do it the same way.

Zink (fixing plugin flickering on AMD GPUs) is definitely coming. The only roadblock for a public release is AMD who remains too incompetent to fix their Windows drivers.

THAT you want the LEDs to work off the datarefs is the part I managed to catch. The crucial missing part is WHEN those LEDs are supposed to be on.

Laminar's public communication performance has been rather lackluster since XP12, so will you accept replies from a magic 8 ball as well?

I read your post three times now, but I still have zero idea what this script is supposed to do.

Looks all default to me.

And systems. Or at least more interactive cockpit elements. I honestly wonder why Laminar included some XP11 default aircraft without giving them a touch-up for XP12 first.

I sure will!

That other simulator, that you're free to return to at any time if power savings are that important to you, was optimized for a single platform instead of three and is thus able to use the odd trick to drive CPU usage down when out of focus. Don't bother. Saving a flight in-air will spawn you on the next airfield when loading it and switch states are not saved.

Never noticed that the S-76 does not have pilots models until this video.

My alternative to default ATC is this: https://www.stickandrudderstudios.com/x-atc-chatter-overview/ (Don't forget the current beta from: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/258541-x-atc-chatter-171-beta/) Don't be fooled by the name as the ATC clip player is only half of the functionality. The other is a communications generator, SimpleATC, using text to speech. While this ATC will not really actively guide and monitor you, the advantage is less proneness for annoying bugs or other strange behavior. You're completely in charge of what to say at which point and as long as you stick to your procedures, there is zero difference to other ATC plugins in terms of immersion. The price tag for X-ATC-Chatter only applies to access to the chatter clips and as far as I know ATC is fully functional in the demo version with the beta updates.
