#Xplane 11 beta update

Only users who can update using the X-Plane installer can do so at this time - Steam users will need to be patient whilst critical issues are expected to be addressed. Laminar Research posted the following video today to guide users in enabling Vulkan/Metal: XVision is, according to Ms Roberts, incompatible with X-Plane 11.50.įurthermore, the only feature/improvement of the update as of time of writing is the ability to toggle between OpenGL and Vulkan/Metal.Ī checkbox in X-Plane 11's graphics settings needs to be ticked for this to take effect and the sim restarted. The following addons need to be updated by the developer before the final release to work with the new APIs: XPD-10623 Panel screenshots command not working/crashing.XPD-10619 EGPU massive FPS loss with OpenGL Drawing.XPD-10617 CTD when using “regenerate icons for current aircraft (and livery)”.XPD-10616 Water reflection off if wave height is non zero.XPD-10607 Null pipeline when opening skycolors.XPD-10569 VR Right eye not working with AMD + Vulkan.XPD-10506 First run shader creation is super slow.XPD-10458 Need control of eGPU selection.XPD-9729 Contrails and wing condensation missing in replay.XPD-7871 Dark contrails instead of white.This is lots of shaders/pipelines compiling for the first time subsequent runs will be faster. First load time with Metal and Vulkan will be surprisingly slow.This is especially true in what is relatively new territory for X-Plane, although developers should look to test their addons towards the end of the beta, expected in several months.

which is limited to features such as librain not working during this run. Plugins which require 3D drawing will need review. Luckily, the work we did on SASL 3 should negate most issues and run without problem. If an add-on appears to not work correctly, you can disable Vulkan and Metal and restart X-Plane.'Īddon developers are typically expected to refrain from updating their addons to Vulkan/Metal compatibility, due to the constantly changing nature of X-Plane betas.ĭellanie Byron of FlyJSim has already noted: 'We do not officially support beta runs, and any issues you encounter in 11.50 are likely in need of reporting to Laminar. In particular, when Vulkan and Metal are enabled, 3-d drawing callbacks and map drawing callbacks are not sent to plugins. 'Not all add-ons are compatible with Vulkan and Metal.

#Xplane 11 beta driver

'You can tell if X-Plane is utilizing Vulkan or Metal via the startup screen or by viewing driver information in the beginning of Log.txt. 'Modern rendering via Vulkan and Metal are enabled by checking an option in the graphics setting screen and then restarting X-Plane,' according to Laminar Research employee Jennifer Roberts.

#Xplane 11 beta full

It was first announced at FlightSimCon 2017, and almost three years later, Laminar Research's promise to release the Vulkan/Metal beta to the public has at long last been met.īugs, crashes, and incompatible addons are to be expected however, as noted on the release notes page - this is a beta and not a full release after all. Threshold has confirmed that X-Plane 11.50 is now available for Steam users, in addition to those who bought their copies directly from the developer.
