Hi everyone, I am back from vacation and will go through all of the reports that came in over the last two weeks (I did manage to answer a few on my smartphone) in the next few days, catalogue and reply as warranted. There will be a next patch, of course, and fortunately it does not seem like we have any "must fix immediately" candidates in there. Our number one priority is the "gizmo soft crash", of course - we still have a few of those lingering, but I don´t have any good and solid reports, unfortunately. If you want your gizmo-crash to be fixed for sure, please include surefire steps (a video works best!) on how to reproduce it. The usual "there I was, flying the XYZ STAR into ABC airport..." unfortunately rarely helps, as even minute differences in performing the flight may or may not produce different results. Thanks for everyone´s patience, Jan

LR removed the X-Plane map edit function in X-Plane 11, they want you to report any problems with XP navaids (example missing/incorrect ILS), to the X-Plane Gateway. It is technically possible to 'hand edit' XP navdata, but to do so is unsupported by LR. cessna729.

Laminar is still tweaking the XP11 flight model (as expected) and more changes are announced for XP v11.1. So we will revisit when things stabilize. M

The color codings etc should be per-spec but obviously subject to simulator limitations. For instance, X-plane does not give us any information on the vertical distribution of water in clouds, so here we have developed a simple model of our own to avoid showing bright red (= wet) clouds at 25k.

No offence intended, its seems some devs were behind the eight ball with the release of XP11 and are playing catch up. Whether this is the fault of Laminar or the devs themselves it dosent matter now. This is a whole new era in flight sim and semi professional just does not cut it anymore. What ever you got away with in the past wont help you now and alot of old xplane devs are finding this out the hard way as now your customer base includes alot of P3D users who are used to a certain level of professionalism, which is found lacking with a lot of Xplane devs. Some have stepped up and taken their products to the next level while others are still trying to find the On button to their workstations. One of this sites biggest sellers should have been ready to roll in XP11 as soon as it came out of Beta but you are still trying to fix things for the XP10 version.. Really? and your next release will work in Xp11 but it wont really work.. Double really ? and then you will release V2 maybe in a couple of months. No no no !! Tell me you sacked this person who came up with this idea.

Team is in vacation mode, Nils should answer this, but from what I know - both systems are very realistic in every aspect.
