It's already been released for a couple of days. You could have been hearing it already.

@Robert LeBlanc This website has nothing to do with the xPilot software.

Opera is working fine for logins (have just tested). My best guess is you should try emptying your browser cache/cookies and try again.

Cool! I think the cookies are likely the culprit here, but either way I'm glad you got it sorted.

@Attitude That is correct!

@Skymatix @louism @lupedelupe @Webbe This was a really tough one to track down. After running several variants of Windows, I think I've finally found what was causing this. New installers are now up for Windows on the server. Please re-download and try again. This was not affecting all Windows users, and affected no Mac users.

Hi Rob, I'm sure guidelines would be good, but here's the hard reality of VR: It's not a super sustainable market at the moment, and we have very few users of it in the X-Plane world. Linux is not even a viable business model to run pay ware aircraft on, and it is only slightly better with VR. As a whole, VR represents 2.06% of the market. Figure that X-Plane developers will only see a few percent of that 2% purchasing their add-ons. It's slim. One day I hope it grows, but in the last couple of years it has not yet become viable to invest a ton of time in it.

This kind of a defensive tone is essentially enough to prove my suspicions without you directly answering. Evasion is as good an answer as any. I hope you stay safe and well during these interesting times, and find a bit more happiness in your days ahead.

Have done it myself numerous times in a Cessna single. Not fun, but totally doable.

Except that's all you've decided to try and do. Might as well call a spade a spade. Please find the time to respond here when you can: http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/17611-initial-observations/?do=findComment&comment=148358 Glad you enjoy!

Out of curiosity, what are your qualifications to be making these statements? They're rather bold. You have flat out tried to tell an aeronautical engineer that something is behaving unrealistic (and used a video as proof), but he tried to explain to you what was actually happening in the video and why that is NOT realistic to normal ops of the aircraft sans people moving around in it with a high AOA and ever-changing CG. Furthermore, numerous REAL WORLD Islander pilots were on the test team providing feedback and signing off on this before release. To me, this seems more of you not really knowing this aircrafts characteristics, but instead just guessing/assuming. I'm all for you having an opinion on aspects you personally don't enjoy (like sounds or textures), but if you're going to trash talk flight models at least back it up with something more valid than a parachuting video.

Wait...bottom left corner...press "Continue" I think you're pressing the right side menu (we'll be removing that from the checkout process soon).

You're probably not entering the correct expiry. It's 4 digits for the year. Are you only entering two?

Be more descriptive?

Hi all, Grau also did a stream with it and you can see that here:

Yes, that haze is not something SkyMaxx produces, and your sky looks very bright. My guess is this is the culprit. The shadows I'm still unsure of in that last screenshot. Perhaps a by-product of re-shade as well.

Do you have some other kind of shader plugin installed to control the colors of your environment? Re-Shade, or anything like that? Would also help to know if you're running this in 11.41 or 11.5, and if you're in 11.5, can you try it with OpenGL active instead of Vulkan?

Unfortunately we partnered up with JonFly at a later portion of the day and the stream was scheduled later than we normally would do to give people time to squeeze it in their schedule. That said, we still had a great turnout on stream. His streams are archived, but only viewable to subscribers of his channel. We have provided copies to several other streamers, so I'm sure there will be plenty opportunity! I will definitely see if JonFly can make an exception on this video though.

It's certainly the intention, but things remain to be seen on what can yet be done. We worked directly with Laminar to at least open up some path to OpenGL drawing in Vulkan so we could keep SkyMaxx going, but it did require quite a bit of work to get there on our side too. If it's ultimately possible to do, of course librain will be moved, but for now this is not a current possibility with the current builds on that effect library.

With the release of Metal/Vulkan, custom effects like this (librain) are no longer compatible and new work arounds will need to be made. At this time Laminar is still heavily developing the API's and doesn't want to give everything up just yet, so there are some sacrifices like this for the time being.
