The Home of FlyInside Flight Simulator FFS FSX P3D and X-PLANE Message Board

11.05 is out of beta and has been released. Seems to be just a major update to airports with no mention of any performance tweaks under the hood. Nevertheless, I have seen a few reports of frame rate increases from desktop users. Anyone here updated yet?

Bar reading of a major issue with flyinside I'll update tonight.

I've been on it for a few days and have yet to find any issues. As far as frame rate improvements are concerned, i have not really noticed anything significant. As performance will vary widely depending upon things like weather and time of day, it is always going to be tough to do such comparisons, without setting up specifically to do so, with consistent settings like no weather and a stationary aircraft looking in a particular direction.

Maybe you could set up such a situation and get some framerates before updating and then take another measurement after updating?

Well no frame rate improvement but it has got a major issue which makes it unusable for me. Problem with ground shadows. All my usual helicopter rotor shadows are extending along the ground towards the horizon resulting in a black line running across my line of vision. I'll try to get a capture of it. It's instant nausea and completely unflyale.

Do you have FlyWithLua scripts running?

Just checked. It's an issue with desktop as well. No scripts running. Vanilla install.

I should have read the x-plane forum before upgrading. Laminar are aware of it for a long time and released the update without fixing it. It may be fixed in 11.1beta!! Well back to DCS for a while I guess.

Have you tried IL2 Sturmovik yet? If not, that is certainly worth a try.

I only really fly helicopter simulators so il2 wouldn't be something I'm into. Thanks for the heads up though.

Unfortunately as 11.05 was the release version it seems I can't roll back to 11.02. The only option is to open every helicopter in plane maker and disable the rotor shadows manually. I don't think that's something I'm prepared to do at the moment. I might consider it again at a later date.

I thought it was a release candidate, so unchecking the beta version box should get you back to 11.02?

I don't have beta checked. From what I can see they released it to the main branch.

They just made v11.05RC2 the final v11.05
