■■■■! As did I…and I just paid for it.
Oh well…I might as well get my old FSX PC back in battery.

…and Alabeo is having a massive sale on the org store.
@PaulRix, what has two thumbs and just found the Staggerwing in his hangar? (among other things)

I think you will enjoy the Staggerwing Ted!
These sales are costing me a small fortune.

Picked up the Waco as well- too pretty to pass up.

YMMV on this one because I’m not seeing a lot of details about it, but this is the default 747-400 with updated PBR textures, sounds, and flight dynamics. Without a detailed change-log, it would be difficult to determine if this makes the -400 better or worse…so let me know what you think…

These screen shots remind me of something I’ve always wanted to ask RL pilots. Do the sheep fleece seat covers really make that much of a difference?
They are much better than just plain leather for sure.

The 11.5 beta is available (including Vulkan)… as usual, be aware that it might break things if you choose to use this version…

Curious to see the performance improvements, but I feel like I’ve spent too much time tweaking this install to try it.

Known Addon Issues
Needs update from developer to work with Vulkan/Metal:
- Aircraft using DreamEngine Sound
- Ground Traffic
- Flight Factor A320
- JAR A320
- librain
- SkyMaxx Pro
- ToLiss A319 & A321
- Traffic Global
- xEnviro
- xPilot
- XPRealistic Pro
- xSquawkBox
Incompatible with X-Plane 11.50:
- xVision
So if you use any of those addons or planes, you might want to wait. Most of the comments on r/flightsims are positive noting that the overall smoothness of the framerate is improved (stuttering) and also improved overall FPS.

It’s going to take awhile before everything works properly… but I can tell you that the performance increase is significant.

Is Vulkan selectable - I mean…can you switch that “engine” or rendering on or off or is it a one and done update and you are now using it?

It is, but you have to exit out of X-Plane and reload if you swap back between Vulkan and OpenGlL. It seems that VR is broken with 11.5, even in OpenGL mode.

Really!? Had my XP running like 3 hours back and no update signalized… will check tomorrow the soonest.
