X-Plane 12.2.1 disponible (full release)​

Release Date: July 17/07/2025
The 12.2.1 beta period is ending and will now pushed as a public release.
YOU NO LONGER NEED TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO THE BETA!

This update brings new objects/assets for our gateway artists, new settings to prevent accidental zooming, and an expanded demo time.

**Next up : 12.3.0 - The Weather Update**
 
Next update is 12.3.0 "The Weather Update!"

One of the additions coming to the sim is the Bendix RDR2000, which will also be a demonstrator for external plugin integration. (And yes, we did increase the radar gain in this image.)

Public Beta XP 12.3.0-B1
mise à jour du 4 September 2025

## New Features

**Weather Radar**
A brand-new weather radar system is now available in several of our default aircraft, bringing enhanced situational awareness and realism to your flights.

**Available in:**
- Boeing 737-800
- Airbus A330-300
- Cessna Citation X
- McDonnell Douglas MD-82
- Cirrus Vision SF50
- Beechcraft Baron 58

**Features:**
- ±15° manual tilt and auto tilt
- Multi-scan modes (Auto, On-Path, All, Single-Elevation)
- Ground clutter suppression, predictive wind shear (PWS), and stabilized antenna sweep
- Full API for aircraft developers

**Radar Modes Include:**
- WX / WX+T / TURB: Active precipitation and turbulence detection
- MAP: Ground mapping
- TEST: Simulated return image for system check
- OFF: Powers down the system

The radar uses realistic modeling: it detects liquid water droplets (not ice crystals), simulates beam width, auto-gain by altitude, and the risk of “overscanning” cloud tops in cruise. For accurate scanning, tilting the radar down to catch lower portions of storm cells is recommended.

Fixes and Enhancements​

General​

  • Fixed an issue where the time was displayed incorrectly (e.g. 12:60 instead of 12:00).

Scenery​

  • Added missing drivers to airport vehicles.

    • Water polygons and shores
    • Low-profile airport barricades
    • European-style ambulances
    • Updated compass roses
    • Improved colored surfaces for a closer match to draped ground signage

Systems​

  • Fixed an issue where the artificial horizon was not displayed correctly (XPD-17025).

Weather​

  • Improved stability of the METAR parser, especially when handling unexpected text or characters.
  • Added display of real weather download age, as well as the age of the source data.
  • Improved visibility of rain on the weather radar.

XP12.3.0 b1 NOTAMS​

⚠️ Danger: This is an UNSTABLE release (Beta)

This release CAN and WILL contain VISUAL ERRORS and may cause INSTABILITY or CRASHES. The purpose of this release is to help us discover them and fix them. Please report those using the Bug Reporter. Social media or forum reports will be ignored.

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

  • (Advisory to AMD GPU owners, but also applicable to Nvidia GPU owners) A default install is highly recommended.

  • 12.3.0 contains unique cockpit rendering changes compared to 12.2.0. Existing mods and aircraft may adversely interfere with cockpit rendering. Please try with a default install first!
  • ⚠️ Weather Radars only apply to the default fleet on launch

  • The 12.3.0 weather radar is significantly more advanced than previous versions. Whilst third-party developers do have open access to 12.3.0, not all aircraft will demonstrate radar functionality on launch. Some G1000 aircraft MAY receive an automatic upgrade. If in doubt, please contact the aircraft author. Check the changelog to see which aircraft have WXR functionality
 
Salut !

  • L'heure locale fontionne à nouveau .
  • Les données s'affichent sur mes 2 écrans (data output) , peut être sur 3 écrans ou plus
  • Même si il y a encore quelques petits problèmes avec les couches nuageuses , globalement , cette beta est une réussite totale sans réelle perte de performances .

Suite à quelques problèmes sur la beta 3 , une beta 4 sera disponible dans quelques jours :

@janov sur xp.org :

"
Le déploiement de la version bêta 3 a été interrompu en raison de deux problèmes : un problème avec le plugin du radar météorologique (je ne sais pas si cela affecte uniquement les avions tiers ou également la flotte Laminar) et un problème d'installation sur les ordinateurs Apple Mac.
Si vous utilisez la version bêta 3 et que vous n'êtes pas concerné par ces deux problèmes, vous pouvez continuer à l'utiliser (et profiter des autres améliorations qu'elle apporte), mais vous devez vous abstenir de signaler des bogues liés à la version bêta 3, car LR les rejettera immédiatement en indiquant que "la version bêta 3 a été retirée."
"
 
En cas de problème avec XP12 sans l'apparition du tableau de bord ci-dessous au lancement d'XP12 , il existe une procédure "safe mode" simple et intuitive pour s'en sortir :

Double-cliquez sur X-Plane.exe et appuyez immédiatement sur la touche CTRL-Key-51x30.jpg et maintenez-la enfoncée.
Double-click X-Plane.exe and immediately PRESS and HOLD the CTRL-Key-51x30.jpg key.

Vous verrez apparaitre ce tableau :

Merci Fred. J’ai eu cet écran sur 2 plantages liés à la Bêta 2. Je ne savais pas qu’il était possible de l’activer au démarrage.
