X-Plane 11 Public Beta 1 First Look

Looks good. :smiley:

By the way: has anyone of you tried recording videos with XP11 yet? For me it works perfectly (while the nVidia tool does nothing at all btw), but audio is missing. Any clue what I might be doing wrong?

set to desktop and alt tab to something, or hit the windows button even just to get it started, then go back in game. Haven’t tried in the latest beta, but even on desktop recording it wouldn’t start, but that little bit of just starting it with something else in the foreground worked

Ok, thanks. I’ll play around with it a bit.

Another small video test.
Recorded audio with another tool, all video recording software I tried either crashes or records only a black screen or doesn’t record audio. So I am stuck with X-plane’s own rendering. Works great with tracks but not in real time so the recorded audio sucks if it is more complex than this one.
Merged audio and the video tracks together with Avidemux.

EDIT: And apparently Youtube butchered the quality a bit…

Nah, you won’t get airsick, that’s just a few meters above the ground, so it doesn’t count. :smiley:

EDIT: And I just noticed how badly I want to do that in VR.

XP11 looks really good!
Any info on how FlyInside works with it?

No clue, sorry!
But I think I read that the XP devs are in contact with the FlyInside guys so chances are good it will work I guess.

I also tried some custom sceneries already and they make it look even better. The one in the video is just stock scenery Corpus Christi TX. (also who the f*** calls a city like that?)

Americans looked at Europe when it came to naming and were like ā€œYep, we can one-up those!ā€. Cincinnati is named after a bloody Roman Consul the founding fathers liked so much they opted for that name.

Anyone know if X-Life is working with XP11?

@BeachAV8R has a FlyInside beta that does apparently work with XP11 Beta. I don’t think it is out yet though, but must be pretty soon.

Apparently it does, although fresh install the latest. Lights on traffic is a bit weird in XP11b2 but X-Life seems to be ok.

EDIT: Insta-crash to desktop for me, so perhaps not. On their forums people are saying it worked for them e.g.

I was skydiving in Rome, Georgia one time and sitting in the back of a Casa during the ride to altitude, I heard a conversation that went like this, ā€œWhere do y’all usually jump?ā€

ā€œWell we usually jump at a place over near Athens. How about y’all?ā€

ā€œMy brother and I went through AFF in Perris (CA), but since he moved back, it’s pretty much always in Rome. Hey, that place near Athens, isn’t it in Oxford?ā€

ā€œNo, you’re thinking of Monroe. It’s right down the road from Bethlehem, if you know where that is. Where y’all from anyway?ā€

ā€œI was born in Cairo, Gerogia, but she is from Dublin, Georgia.ā€

…or something to that affect, and the plane load roared with laughter.

The evil Spaniards… :wink:

I think I’ll need VR to work in XP, to use it in the future…

It’s not Canadian compatible yet.

You guys are gonna flip when you find Luxor and Cairo.

Does the X-plane Garming 430 have a land/water overview? Or am I looking for a non-existant feature? I’ve not yet found a good answer for that one. To be honest I haven’t messed with GPS in simulators for years…

PT6’s roasting over an enclosed fire, Austin stirring the flames higher. Beta testers waling with their planes all aglow, P3D pilots overjoyed.

Thanks @chipwich - damn…I’m still on the fence during this sale. I’m <-> close to buying the PC12 because I want it so bad…and I would find it hard to believe they wouldn’t at least offer up a small patch to fix issues that XP11 breaks. I’m thinking I might gamble on it…

Is anyone else seeing an extreme amount of disk space usage when running XP11 beta? Right now I have 5GB open on my SSD, but when I’m running XP, I get a warning that I’m running out of disk space, and indeed, when I check, I’m down to a few hundred MB remaining. Once I close XP, I get all that space back. Anyone know what might be going on there?
