XP 6.12
 

Ab heute steht bereits das Update der Version 6.12 von X-Plane zum Download auf x-plane.com bereit.Entweder voll 64MB oder Mini 500k

Version 6.12 has TWO notable features: 1: Framerate improvements. 2: Bug-fixes. Here are the details:

=>FRAME-RATE optimizations boost framerate by about 15% in average conditions.


Now for the bug-fixes:
=>no more hiding runway lights.
=> no more power lines across runways.
=> no more trees in the water.
=> no more throttle going to max when you assign a joystick button to control prop or mixture.
=> no more airplane jerking in the external views when you look at it from the outside.
=> no more renegade Arnold Shwarzenigers flying the AI aircraft... the AI planes now fly much more tamely.
=> no more AI planes flying happily through the mountains
=> no more getting stuck in demo mode if you forget to insert your CD... the alert message will prompt you to insert the CD right then to get out of demo mode without restarting the sim!
=> no more runways floating in the air a little bit.
=> no more airport fences going across the runways.
=> no more runways jutting out into water.
=> no more rods vanishing off into the sky in the distance.
=> no more prefs file changing format every time I add a new feature.
=> no more menu bar sometimes being hidden on the Macintosh (?)
=> no more sound on left speaker only... sound now present in BOTH speakers. (was only avail in the left speaker on some computers)
=> no more clocks in the cokcpits being offset just a bit from the date you enter in the set time window.
=> no more airplanes starting with the engines running even if you have asked them not to.
=> no more res-setting from world-maker affecting the res in x-plane and vice versa.
=> no more "sunken" or "floating" objects. prove me wrong with a screenshot and location if you can!
=> support for more joystick buttons, including button #1!
=> replay mode bug fixed where you would lose your location in some cases.
=> engine exhaust (afterburner, rocket flame) mapped correctly now... they were repeating before.
=> default MTBF to 100 not 100 hours so you do not have stuff breaking a lot in the initial prefs case.
=> min frame rate set to 12.5 not 10... this is my first attempt to get rid of the "flight model flutter" that can happen at low frame rates.
=> joystick input tweaked further... I am trying to read all buttons and axis, etc.
=> METAR (real-weather) scanning improved. X-Plane no longer fooled by various "comments" in the file.
=> multi-machine networks (for extra visuals) can now handle odd cases like space-shuttle re-entries and mars flight.
