XP X-Plane 12

The 12.1.4 beta period is ending and is now pushed as a public release.
**YOU NO LONGER NEED TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO THE BETA! **

As usual thank you all for the reports and feedback. The team has had fun watching you try out the lessons, fall in love with the physics-based camera, and take a few shots at Barra!
12.1.4 brings a variety of simulation enhancements for your flight experience!

Unless there is any emergency updates needed, that will conclude the 12.1.X series. It's been an absolute incredible run. Coming up next... 12.2.0!
 
The next update will be 12.2.0. This is a big one – we can’t wait to show what we’ve been cooking up .

Some of the features that we’re targeting:
✅ Dark Cockpits will be addressed in this update

Welcome to the X-Plane 12.2.0 beta run! This major graphics-focused update brings a host of improvements, including a long-awaited dark-cockpit fix, a completely overhauled cloud rendering system, and new tonemapping for more realistic lighting. Atmospheric rendering has been enhanced for better sky colors and cloud shadows, while stability updates ensure smoother performance. Aircraft braking systems have been refined with new parking brake and chock options, and ATC has received critical fixes. Plus, airport-specific ground textures have been improved, and a fresh gateway scenery cut is now available. Dive in and explore the latest advancements!

⚠️ Please check/remove mods before using this beta!​

A default install is highly recommended

Existing mods and aircraft may adversely interfere with the rendering parameters of this update, specifically atmospheric value deviations, or mods that manipulate X-Plane’s cubemap.

Examples include VisualXP, RXP Enhancer Mod, various FlyWithLua Scripts, X-Crafts E-Jet Family 2.0 etc.

Veuillez vérifier/supprimer les mods avant d'utiliser cette version bêta !​

ç'est quoi les "mods" ? pour le moment mon Xplane12 fonctionne trés bien , je ne vais pas installer cette nouvelle version qui me parait "dangereuse" !
 
Salut,
ce sont les add-on que tu as pu rajouter pas les avions avions , ni les scènes mais les cosmétiques , tout ce qui améliorent les nuages, les couleurs , la luminosité etc...et certain scripts Lua
ils recommandent d'installer cette version en ayant au préalable désinstallé ces plugins puis tu les remets un a un : rien de dangereux :cool:

Salut !

mod = modification ...
C'est pareil pour toutes les bétas , rien de dangereux , ton simu n'explosera pas ! ;)
Téléchargé et installé ce matin chez moi
  • avec les mêmes réglages , environ 10/15 fps de mieux suivant les aéroports (42fps à LFPO RW07)
  • j'ai essayé sur une bonne douzaine d'aéroports avec météo preset ou réelle .
  • Tout le hardware fonctionne parfaitement . (comme d'habitude)
  • l'image est plus lumineuse et piquée (crisp)
Pour ceux qui n'ont pas de cockpit , il est parfaitement lisible quelque soit l'heure ...

Essai vol en fin d'après midi ou ce soir ...
 
Hello,
J’ai installé la bêta cet après-midi et j’ai fait un vol Toulouse-Barcelone sans problème. Départ en cold&dark. BetterPushBack a eu un peu de mal à décrocher le wagonnet (il a fallut que je bascule plusieurs fois le Park brake) sinon, version très sympa. Améliorations du visuel ( nuages, pistes, sol, etc…). Le ZIBO a parfaitement fonctionné ainsi que tous mes équipements overhead, after, MIP, throttle, FMC, pedestal.
Super!!!
 
Salut !
Après avoir vu le défaut hier à Nice-LFMN en réglant l'heure à la toute fin du crépuscule , il y avait un fort hallo (bloom) sur la droite du rw04R avec un rayon de lumière solaire au bas des nuages à l'horizon , je vais tester ces modifs demain avant que Laminar ne sorte la correction dans une prochaine version :

If anyone wants to play with the bloom datarefs here are what they do (...\XP12\Ressources\
  • `sim/private/controls/hdr/bloom1` Bloom intensity, default -8
  • `sim/private/controls/hdr/bloom_exponent` How "pointy" the bloom is, higher values mean stronger bloom at the core and weaker bloom at the edges, default 1.45
  • Be aware that increasing this also increases bloom intensity as a side effect, so you might want to reduce bloom1 to compensate for it
  • `sim/private/controls/hdr/bloom_lo` Bloom cutoff, I recommend setting this to 0.214 which is the 50% gray, default 0
  • `sim/private/controls/hdr/bloom_hi` Bloom full intensity point, I recommend setting this to 0.856, default 0.001

XP12.2.0 Beta 4

Fixes and Enhancements​

Aircraft​

Cirrus SR22​

  • Removed the second “S” indicator on the ball compass (XPD-16827).

ATC​

  • Improved ATC course corrections during the early stages of an approach. These now use track rather than heading and trigger at 10 degrees instead of 5. They are disabled for procedure approaches.
  • Fixed an issue where the pushback buttons on the Ground Handling Window were not working anymore when pushback wasn’t requested via the ATC system (XPD-16816).

General​

  • Opening the IOS Windows will no longer reset the payload and fuel of the aircraft.

  • Enabled static aircraft on external visuals for airports loaded during a flight, such as the arrival to a new airport.
  • The airport location list will support filtering by local ID from now on (XPD-16830).
  • Improved the general logging. The new log rotation system is now disabled for Plane Maker and Airfoil Maker. Older log files are moved from the X-Plane root folder to a new folder called “Output/Log Archive”. Log file names will include the date/timestamp in the filename based on the last modified date/time.
  • Improved the error handling in our replay system.

Graphics Core Engine​

  • Fixed an incremental host memory leak with NVIDIA GPUs in system without ReBar.
  • Fixed an issue in the texture pager when using orthographic textures.

Graphics​

  • Increased the resolution of the cloud noise cubes to increase the appearance of clouds from extreme altitudes (XPD-16818).
  • Recalibrated the navigation and position lights of aircraft to be more realistic and less orange at night.

Scenery​

  • Jetways now properly sit on the ground without sunken wheels (XPD-16741).

Systems​

  • Enhanced logging for GPS runtime errors.
  • Added three new datarefs to override control axis to be treated as force-feedback. This will allow users of high-end yokes to use those without the need to disable trim in the acf file. Those datarefs are called:
    • sim/operation/override/override_pitch_trim
    • sim/operation/override/override_roll_trim
    • sim/operation/override/override_yaw_trim
