X-Plane 12

Release candidate – 12.06r2

This is the second release candidate for 12.06! Whilst we gather feedback – this version will only be available under public beta

Changes for X-Plane 12.06r2:

• Zink is permanently disabled for machines with NVIDIA cards (Due to crashes)
• XPD-14410 – Writing art control draw_reflect_water05 crashes sim.
• XPD-14406 – Bug report “KLAS – Airport terminals are missing”.

Oscar Pilote gehört sicher auch zu den genialen Leuten in der XP Community. So auch Mister X.

Übrigens hatte auch FlyAgi einiges für den XP11 geleistet. Das kann auch nicht jeder

die Welt so zu verschönern. Auch ein Vorteil vom XP für alle zugänglich zu sein.

Jetzt muss nur noch LR die Engine weiter verbessern. Dann kommen automatisch die guten Addons.

Die Bilder sehen schon sehr gut aus.

Gibt ein neues Plugin, was mehr Schnee darstellen soll, auch wenn es gerade nicht schneit.

Accumulated Snow 1.0.1

Für den XP12 wollen FF und Toliss einen A350 V2 entwickeln. 

Und der XP12 erhält einen Market Place

Dann geht es gut weiter mit dem XP12. Hoffentlich kommt bald SFD Global für XP12. Dafür sollen noch einige Texturen für den XP12 angepasst werden.

Toliss und FF arbeiten schon immer zusammen. Auch der bisherige A350 ist von den beiden Entwicklern.

Für den A319 haben die damals das Cockpit Layout von FF erhalten. Das musste deutlich schlechter sein, wegen der Konkurrenz zum FFA320.

Ein Market Place wäre aus meiner Sicht sinnvoll, um dauerhaft den XP12 weiter zu entwickeln. Dann bräuchte es keine XP13 etc. Version mehr.

Das muss man abwarten, wie das aussieht und welche Produkte da kommen.

FF hat schon gute Produkte gebracht. Der A320, die 757 und 767. Bald kommt die 777 V2.

Das wird sicher längere Zeit dauern mit dem A350 V2. Das ist viel Arbeit, die man sich sinnvoll teilen kann.

Hier wird das noch einmal erklärt, wie der Store funktionieren soll. 

Oscar Pilote arbeitet an einer Version 1.40 Ortho4XP für XP12.
