A heads up from the new CRJHQ : CRJ 1.5 brings a few fixes for X-Plane 10.10 compatibility, yet another small bump up in framerate, a few improvements in navdata processing, and two cool new features. The first is easier fuel loading. Now you can enter the exact amount of fuel you need in the CDU, and the CRJ will fill its tanks appropriately, without stumbling over X-Plane's idiosyncratic behavior of filling the center tank before the wing tanks. It's really simple, but saves you a lot of headaches with otherwise possible fuel system misconfigurations: The second thing is a really nice addition for iPad owners, who want to enhance their cockpit experience: I'm proud to introduce RRC - retina remote CDU - which makes the iPad an even better companion in your CRJ cockpit. The new renderings were done by Andreas Guecklhorn (@Gourmador) who has just learned Blender and did the CDU as an exercise. He not only did these gorgeous 2K textures but also the slick 3d-effect of the screen and the subtle glow of the text, like you'd see it on the CRT display in a real CRJ cockpit (no LCD screens in there yet!). I added some Javascript magic for better usability and day/night modes. Also, it is now a fully iPad-aware HTML5 App - you no longer have this browser-like feeling with resizing and moving - it feels as solid as a native iOS-App. This is a 2048x1024 screenshot right from the iPad. It must be viewed in 1:1 mode or the subtle glow effect will look overdone. So if you're not viewing it on an iPad, make sure you display it pixel-by-pixel, not scaled, and realize how small your computer screen actually is... http://philippmuenze...rj/IMG_0007.PNG CRJ 1.5 is a free update for all customers, and will be available after the beta-phase of X-Plane 10.10 is over. Cheers, Philipp

Anyone else have the problem where x-plane crashes when you have the time of day set a twilight or nighttime? The time I can fly in is when it's bright out.

Now this is what i call cutting it close! (texture res: "very high" / no HDR) .. although it's probably swapping out textures/VRAM already. (And it was @ 40FPS, but I had to Cmd-Tab to show the VRAM monitor) Guess what I found tho.. XP10 uses over 320-350Mb of VRAM all by itself just at startup, without even loading a plane or any scenery yet! Meaning: I don't have 300-400 Mb of VRAM to play with for photo sceneries - In reality, I have about 150Mb of VRAM. See the "rant' section. - CK.
