X-Plane 12.1.0 New Article & Features
Brian Mackie replied to Inu's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I raised this dataref problem with rkApps back in September. Nothing has been done about it, which is disappointing. -
More X-Plane Eye Candy!

What a pointless thread this has become. -
New Active Sky XP 12 update

You turn off live weather download in XP (ie, make it manually adjustable weather). -
Nvidia Inspector settings for XP12...
Brian Mackie replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
If your system is running OK, as you say, why try to fix something that isn't broken? Wait for 12.1.0 and its promised graphics and performance improvements. -
And neither did I. In fact, a small degradation in frame rates, but a smoother overall experience. Apart, that is, from a very significant drop in performance on approach to an uncomplicated airport (NZWN), where fps fell from 35/40 to 13. Never seen before, and indicative of a bug.

We may have a suspected trolling attempt here. This guy has form. -
FlyJSim's new Q400 aka Q4XP
Brian Mackie replied to Sims Smith's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Then, what caused the thread? It's really no problem at all here. -

Is this serious? If I buy this aircraft, do I also need to find this thread to make it work? -
X-Plane 12.05R1 Release notes
Brian Mackie replied to Sims Smith's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
msparks loves to provide screenshots showing his mach 2 frames per second, which impresses many folks. Including me! But he never tells us just how he does this. So, big frame rate champ, tell us all about your amazing rig and precisely how you get these stupidly high frame rates. 50fps is pretty good for most of us, but all that background boasting looks like a mental condition someone told me was anal-retention. What is your secret? Don't be shy. Tell us exactly what you run, and how. -
Cs clouds being displayed as "few" Cc ?
Brian Mackie replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Agree with jcomm. Better to have no cirrus at all than these daft puffs of fluff. -
XP12.05b1 Released
Brian Mackie replied to Malaromane's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
ASXP12 adds a Navigraph sub-folder when it installs. You just need to manually point Navigraph Data Manager to Hifi/ASXP12 (and NOT ASXP12/Navigraph!). I went through the same initially puzzling procedure the other day. -
XP12.05b1 Released
Brian Mackie replied to Malaromane's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
You need to reconfigure your Navigraph Data Manager to point to the ASXP12 folder. A scan will probably not find that folder, so I had to do it manually.
