These tweaks are often incremental but contribute greatly to the fidelity of the platform over time. Flight Model ImprovementsĪs Austin continues his studies of aerodynamics and collecting feedback from pilots and engineers, he refines the flight model in X-Plane to better match the real world. We can’t wait for you to experience flying the Airbus with these improvements – it really takes the immersion of flying this aircraft to the next level. The main focus of X-Plane 12.05 was implementing the fully custom MCDU/autopilot and flight systems in the A330. Here’s What You’ll See in 12.05 A Whole New Experience Flying the Airbus A330 There are still a few items to share, though! Features that look hard at first can turn out to be quick ones…and vice versa. That’s just because development can be unpredictable. Our 12.06 priorities are well-defined internally so I took the chance to add some previews of that update as well.īeyond 12.06, we are (mostly!) settled about what comes next, but the allocation to a specific release name is not set in stone. completed a long list of other improvements (read the full release notes ).refined the NOAA weather data processing for more realistic weather.introduced Zink for improved performance on AMD graphics cards.cleaned up rendering artifacts (most of which were related to volumetric clouds).

Since its initial Early Access release in late 2022, we’ve been improving the sim experience and maximizing the potential of X-Plane 12. Our goal with each of 12.0X releases is to stabilize the product, complete/tune planned features, and improve performance. And, if it has been a while since you tried X-Plane 12, you can always download our free demo to check out all of the improvements we’ve made over the past few months. I’d like to outline what you can expect in our next few X-Plane 12 updates. We have some exciting dev updates on the way for you: a more realistic Airbus experience, some significant VRAM optimization, cloud improvements (including new cirrus clouds!), plus all sorts of other bug fixes and improvements.
