OS X, OpenGL and X-Plane

[ktomais]

Now that Mavericks has been updated with OpenGL 4.1, can we immediately expect performance improvements, or X-Plane would need to be recoded to enable the performance and feature gains?

That would first depend on the GPU driver provided in OS X.

 

That said, Ben Supnik has already indicated there will be OpenGL revisions to the X-Plane code beginning in the 10.30 run.

Look for the OpenGL Version line in your Log.txt, something that will look like :

 

OpenGL Version   : 4.2.12422 Compatibility Profile Context 13.152.0.0 (420/12422)
