diamonddriller Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Hi. Should we update in XP-11 as well, or is this v 2.1.0 specifically designed for XP-12? I haven't downloaded anything yet, so haven't examined the file structure! 30 minutes later: Sorry - installed for XP-12, and saw it had a version for it. So, I did it in 11 as well, and - yes - it identifies itself as an 11 version! Edited May 17, 2023 by diamonddriller Answered my own question! Quote
MANOLO Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 Great!!! Many thanks! Do you know if this version can be used natively on Mac M1 processors or Rosetta is necessary? Quote

The installer will still retain an older X-Plane 11 version, but it is now considered frozen. 27 minutes ago, MANOLO said: Great!!! Many thanks!

kutyafal Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Hello, just trying this now. Noticed that there is no way to load pax only fuel. Is this correct for the time being? Will there be some load manager in the future? Also, I forgot, how do I enable the RealityXP GTN750 in it? Edited May 17, 2023 by kutyafal Quote
Bulva Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 Total surprise ;-) After all, it was still said that the first one to be completed would be the IXEG 733 ... ;-) Quote

Yes, it has always been this way. 2 minutes ago, kutyafal said: Will there be some load manager in the future? I think @tkyler has expressed interest in this kind of thing before, but for now the focus is diverting back to IXEG. This release served two purposes. 1. To get a working XP 12 version in your hands. 2. To facilitate a co-sponsored contest with a major retailer. Quote
kutyafal Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 OK, thanks. Also, how do I enable the RealityXP GTN750? Quote

Anthony Clark Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 I didn't have high hopes for this as every third party aircraft I've tried for X-Plane 12 gave me terrible performance. Like unusable single digit frame rates. The MU-2 was by far my favorite aircraft in X-Plane 11, so I had to give it a try. I am overjoyed! The MU-2 is absolutely gorgeous in X-Plane 12 and gives me very little performance hit compared to the default aircraft. I'm easily getting mid-20s even with lots of clouds. Actual aircraft performance seems to be a bit better too - closer to real world. I'm getting 285 ktas at 15,000'. So pleased to have this excellent aircraft working in X-Plane 12. Thanks for all your hard work. 1 Quote
Bulva Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 That's true. Both the MU2 and the IXEG B733 are perfectly optimized models for performance. They should be a model and example for other developers on how to create excellent, complex aircraft models with their advanced systems, while at the same time being FPS-friendly and smooth simulation. This was the case in XP11, and now I see that in XP12 as well. ;-) 1 Quote
randomdisplayname Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) It definitely wasn't like that, in XP11 you could set payload via default Weight & Balance XP settings, would you please add it back if you have time? A couple of other payware had the same thing happen to them during their updates to XP12. There are two ways to deal with it: Create payload stations (XP12-way), or create the default one-slider-for-all as it was in XP11. Some developers choose the lazy way (1 slider for all payload) or the proper way (stations for each seat (or region) and cargo). Edited May 18, 2023 by randomdisplayname Quote

Matchstick Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 1 hour ago, MANOLO said: Ohhhhh Why??? Rosetta is a FPS thief!! I will not fly this plane then... If the plane is dependent on third party plug-ins that haven't been updated with Apple M1/M2 support then there's not much anyone other than the plug-in developers can do. However if the Mu-2 is only reliant on the Gizmo plugin there is now an experimental version of that that's supposed to now include native Apple ARM supporthttps://blog.x-plugins.com/2023/02/gizmo64-version-23.html I've been using that for a couple of months on PC and it's worked with all the X-Aviation planes I've tried including the Mu-2 so stability seems to be OK on PC at least.

daemotron Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 The Moo only uses Gizmo (unless you also use the G500, which is a plugin of its own). Quote
Matchstick Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 One problem I'm spotting with this new version is I cannot get the FD/AP to engage. I've checked the AP Turn wheel is centred (to the extent of checking the dataref value in Spad is 0) but it nothing seems to work. Is there a trick I'm missing ? Quote
ostkamp Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 @Cameron I have both XP11 and XP12 installed on the same PC. Is it ok to install and use the MU-2 in both XP11 and XP12 with same license? As said, this is on same PC and of course only one XP version is used at a time. Quote
jcomm Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 Hi, just installed and took it for a ride. I have a problem with the throttle levers not moving in the 3d cockpit, although at times they appear to be functional when I move my hardware throttle. The Prop levers do move. Quote
Ch.Cole Posted May 18, 2023 Report Posted May 18, 2023 @Ben Russell It seems that this update does not work with your new plugins. Is that possible or just a "me" issue?

Hi all, I’ve installed new Gizmo plugins like @Matchstick said and it works perfectly with Mac M1 processor without Rosetta, native ARM. No bugs observed at the moment. I suggest that plane creators include it!!! Many thanks @Matchstick!!! 1 Quote
