Thanks, I'll also update the PC-12 in the next weeks.

I also have a integrated Intel Graphics, which I've never bothered to use. Now, for some reasons, I'll have a look if it can run at all X-Plane 11. For that I'll quickly install Clearlinux from Intel in a free partition. Might report back if that's otherways a complete, usable distro.

You should delete the preferences folder and have a up to date graphics driver installed. Proprietary Nvidia? To run with opensource drivers check the x-plane.org forum. Also have a look at synaptic package manager.

Upcoming PC-24 in XP11.

Considering how ambitious their goal is for seasons, I would be very surprised to see it during the v11 cycle.

You mean the accumulating snow? Because procedural seasons should be easy and quickly done with only a few opengl code lines.

Was expecting XP11 today...hoping for tomorrow. They still say "coming November".

Probably beta 6 will go public friday. We are used to betas with x-plane. Simply select that in the installer.

I've googled for fmod and am not convinced that this is any better than openal. They surely could have done the same with openal.

Pretty cool, might still get a Vive despite being first generation:

Vive on Linux support would be cool. Although I might miss this first hardware generation. Not sure, I'll try google earth in a store nearby if possible.

Cool.

So every Friday LR announce something, right? Hence maybe today the Citation X and next Friday the first beta release?

Yes the Cirrus should have the new G1000. I hope that we get the Citation X later in XP11.* as in this image:

Two weeks to go...got a new SSD to have space and maybe later a GTX1070.

There are quite some opensource opengl oceans to get an idea on how to do it. Anyway those algorithms are complicated stuff.

Windows is much faster than Mac but fastest is Linux. Ubuntu is ~ 20% faster than a fully updated Windows 10 which itself is ~30% or more faster than OSX 10.9.

Looking for a GTX1070, which seems not even yet supported by osx...

Yes nice but where did the announced Citation X go. :Shame On You:

So you missed the best, X-Plane.

I'll try at least the demo, if I can bother myself to boot Windows.

Where did the new Citation X go? :Shame On You:

My CPU is:

Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz × 8

I probably also update from 16GB Ram to 32GB?

Thanks

Hi

should I bother to upgrade from a Asus GTX770 2GB to a GTX1070 8GB? What fps improvements could I expect for XP11?

Thanks and regards

For how long we had Xplane 10, 4 years? I'm fine with this as we probably should get seasons and better weather within xp11.* and coming years.

While it's totally speculative, I don't expect PBR to involve more than simply paste a ATTR tag into objects with a texteditor.

Maybe there's even a OpenAL abstraction layer so all plugins/aircrafts continue to work as in XP10.

We need to be patient some more weeks.

. It also appears as it all regions must be installed prior to the upgrade. Is all this correct?

 

Also, what is the current understanding of Payware aircraft compatibility with X-Plane 11? This hobby is expensive enough. lol.

 

Thanks!

No, you can select what regions to install. Got my key and await XP11 as I suspect price could go up to 79.- upon release for at least a year or so.

Basically all xp10 stuff should work but for ex. I need to remove my reflection and OpenAL code from my plugin.

Also for ex. Carenado etc. probably will need to update their whole fleet. But I expect that most developers give a free update to XP11. (althoug not all)

and fix the Linux case sensivity?

If that's flickering like FSX on obsolete Windows I'm out.

Yes a 737 NG. Any ideas on who might have created the new aircrafts?

I'd be surprised if we would not get seasons and nicer weather later within a xp11.* update.

Yea that Citation X looks awesome. :wub:

I probably try to sell my xp10 DVDs on Ebay and get the key. It just asked either for dvd or key on my pc.

X-Plane 11 is leaving FSX and it's forks behind. I would be surprised if we don't get procedural/coded seasons and nicer weather during xp11. The fog is a indication that they didn't forget it. I guess we also get VR and Vulkan support within xp11.
