X-Plane 11.50 beta is out

Benchmarking results so far, compared to 11.41r1:


1. Laptop (i7 6700HQ, 16 GB PC2400 RAM, GTX960M with 2+2 GB, Arch Linux, 1920x1080):

OpenGL: 26.69 FPS -> 30.28 FPS -> +13.5%

Vulkan: Does not start, seems to be a bug.


2. Desktop (Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 GB PC3600 RAM, GTX1060 with 6 GB and factory overclock, Arch Linux, 1680x1050):

OpenGL: 43.80 FPS -> 71.74 FPS -> +63.8%

Vulkan: 43.80 FPS -> 89.07 FPS -> +100.3%



I'm still chuckling like a madman.
 
Gains in realistic usage cases in Vulkan mode are lower than the 100% in the benchmark and there's some odd stuttering when looking around, but still...with X-Europe, HDMeshv4, the default thunderstorm weather preset and looking toward downtown Berlin, I still get around 40 FPS. OpenGL mode is around 26.

All tested aircraft add-ons did not exhibit any anomalies in Vulkan and SeaTraffic and Librain is the only plugin that does not work in Vulkan mode.

I consider 11.50 a winner so far, all quirks aside.
 
Did a 10 hour XP session in 11.50b3 with Vulkan and it ran just fine all the way. I'm mildly impressed.

Do you think most add-on sceneries will work in 11.50? I have quite a lot of them installed! NC
 
I've got around a hundred or so various addon sceneries running on 11.50b6 and frankly, they all work beautifully. My only complaint would be the MisterX6 Tokyo scenery which is a majoy resource hog along with the MisterX6 Bay Area scenery.. Both are freeware ( I have no payware scenery )..
