I gave up on XP12 about a year ago. The software crashes were too much. All of my purchased add-on/plugins that claimed they were certified to run on it, well several don’t. If and when I give it a try again I’ll probably start with plain vanilla X-plane. Get it stable and add one add-on at a time to see how it performs. For now, I’ve been on MSFS.
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 No, he has other people who help with other stuff. Other people on his team helped with 3d design, sounds, air traffic control, and other stuff. Austin mainly does flight modeling and weather

As a new XP user of 2 years I'm loving the experience. Now on my 3rd major scenery project, really appreciate the open source nature, stability of the platform. WED is a superb tool. As a heritage man, I'd really appreciate a study level Lancaster in my hangar, hint hint.
I have been with x-plane since xplane5. NO OTHER simulator out there comes with flexibility x-plane offers us. When U buy other sims out there, U R stuck with what they sold U....not with x-plane. I have flown x-plane aircrafts to space and back, I have modified x-plane aircraft into VTOL vehicles. Reality that comes with x-plane is amazing. On top of everything else, x-plane is very easy 2 work with. Keep up the good work, Austin.
I'm ever more impressed by the atmosphere simulation, especially early and late in the day. Wouldn't mind a menu option to turn off the AI car traffic, so recordings look smoother.
Someone made a plugin not long ago to succeed groundtraffic and by the sound of the comments, it is much greater, and very smooth traffic (cars and boats). It’s on the forum but people have to implement it into their scenery, and I don’t have XP12 anyway I’m only saying this for fun.
I am migrating back into X-Plane. Tried it a couple of years ago and thought it had some quirks. Turns out, the "quirks" were not within X-Plane, but with the user . . . me. I shouldn't have left, but glad I am back. Thanks Austin, and your team, for making an outstanding product. -Steve
Austins enthusiasm and love of flight is unrivaled. He has a knack of explaining complex aviation concepts in an easy way. I'm riveted each time he speaks. Thank you Austin and Laminar team for this amazing flight sim XP12. I regret that I bought it on Steam (because it was on sale) and once Ive saved up I'm going to buy it again direct from Laminar. I love that he stood near the real airplanes in the video that are included in the sim!
0:02 tried to update my present DVD version that is not recognized even with disc one in drive. No product key on disc or invoice. These small things and inability to contact Laminar research are the little things that have major impact on my confidence in the product
I'm wondering when will the water colors change. We in the Caribbean love to see the tropical colors when we fly in our home areas and with all the great things happening, this seems like it's not going to happen!
I've not been in X-Plane much since I've been working with DCS World, but am very eager to know about this latest version release. I saw it's in beta 4 right now, so I'm looking forward to the final 12.1.0 version. Looks to be awesome! Thanks for doing this Austin.
I have been using Xplane since #9 in middle school! It’s actually what got me into aviation! I am now in IFR training and I like using it to run approaches and holds, arcs. However, the C172 G1000 has several issues. I’m using a new MacBook Pro so it runs fine, but the knobs on the CRS/BARO or the FMS or the HDG on the MFD get stuck or lag or take forever to use. They’re not easy to control with mouse and keyboard. It took me almost 10 minutes to input my minimums into the approach using the FMS key because it was going 10ft at a time.. click click.. lag..click.. undo..click.. I hope you guys will keep up the great work and patch this! Thanks for all you do team!
I have been using xplane since xplane 9 in middle school. It’s actually what got me into aviation. Now using xplane 12 for IFR training, but the buttons on the PFD and MFD in the G1000 get stuck when selecting a course or HDG, or using the FMS knob. It’s super difficult to use and could be improved a lot to help me load approach plates and procedures. It takes way too long to input the minimums from an approach plate! Im using a 2024 MacBook Pro so other than that it runs great. I really hope you guys take this into consideration and keep up the great work!
Any info on planned updates for the mobile version? I love what you guys are doing to X Plane 12 for PC, but I was just wondering whether you guys intend to make something new about the simulator that once was the reference for mobile fliying simulation :)
Good improvements I love that! Lets see how that works?? And dont forget to improve the wing fade effects as well when flying through clouds. And wing effects when plan goes up and down.
I am one of few who did not switch to Microsoft. Like everything except a rain effect, did not had a chance to fly into the rain yet. Before the update rain effect was awful, most of the time could not see the runway during the approach and had to switch off the weather. Hope is improved now.
As a resident of the Bay Area, where the weather changes drastically within 10 miles, I'm so excited for t he new weather system! One observation- Car speed seems to be incredibly fast, on curved/country roads.
Hi Austin....good job. I need help. How can I set up the contrails at the crusie altitude and the smoke when the tires touch the runway at the landing? In X plane 12? Thanks in advance for your support.
so glad you do something for the helicopters. whiteout/brownout improvements are welcome, but what we also wait for is a major improvement to the downwash - which sould create a move from center out spiderweb animation on ground moving tons of air and material away from underknief into all directions, That effect should be brought into relation to planemaker's aircraft data, including the power produced by the actual rotor. a blackhawk pushes far more mass than a robinson. best seen over water (turning the surface into white circles double the size of the mainrotor blade disk), visualize it. But even more i plee for a more non-linear velocity vector. Mind the macro-dynamics of the air mass onto the airframe is not only responded by its cross sections, that would be too simple, but forces center line side- and upwards without actually losing the flight direction. this non-stabile attitude behaviour should become part of x-plane's heli flying. thank you austin.

@@americanboy48 clear your memory, if you use windows, check your ram settings that can use a lot of your system resources. i set it to 5 minutes so RAM can add new scenery while flying larger distances. That also prevents from CTD. Not sure why this hack is not being told by laminar, but every pc user should actually know about such basics. Autosave which you request was meant for games back in the 80's of last century. Memorizing terrabytes of data during a longer flight would not only make your pc slower but require massive storage and processing resources. You don't want that. Try the memory clearing instead and get at least the rid of crashes so you don't need to replay things. By the way, x-plane does have a replay function, so flights are in fact recorded and progress is autosaved. however, a CTD would clear that memorized data. saving the flight progress must be done manually which is easy to do.
helicopters have less carrying surface than fixed wing, the main rotor delivers the energy instead. Yes, they are less stabile during forward flight, because air can cross the object from all sides since there is no such flat surfaces. Only the fuselage's cross section. wind whirls can therefore push the centerline much more than with fixed wing aircraft, so the velocity vector travels quite a bit. Either planemaker seems not calculating this, or x-plane does not have a sophisticated wind model. simply pushing air stream from the front onto a cross section is probably only half the job.

@@americanboy48 Toliss has autosave but I wouldn't say it's crucial it's a simulation not a game. X-plane 12 crashes very rare I had 2 crashes since release during replay
I wish the OSM scenery was double the current resolution (selectable when downloading would be even better) and updated much more frequently. Bodies of water, rivers, etc. are just way off due to the low mesh resolution. My understanding is that the low resolution was picked originally due to physical media distribution. Most people download it online now, bandwidth and storage has come down in price, and computers have more power these days. The OSM data changes frequently for some areas. Would be nice to see that updated monthly or every quarter.
And that's the reason why I will always be an XP fanboy!... It's nice when the designer of the program actually explains things to you My hat's off to you Austin! You took a great simulator and made it even better! While I still do fly Microsoft I always come back to XP! Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication as well as the rest of the team... I look forward to the future of XP!!! 😊
Hey! The Boeing 737-800 replay bug on Linux has been fixed. Thank you. Oddly, my ToLiss Airbus 320 has been crippled with bugs. It would crash before, not it crashes all the time and is unusable. That's okay. I'm happier to see the default X-Plane aircraft get some improvements.
When is it out of beta? It is a step in the right direction but many more peformance improvements are needed in general and more so for VR. More efficient AA is needed and better scenery. Also dynamic foveated rendering would give at least 50% fps increase in VR with eye tracking HMDs.
Add true earth ( UK for me) and believe me it's a great training aid for VFR practise. I love it now. As a 300 hour PPL this really helps before an actual flight, with both handling the C172 and with visual Nav. practise prior to the actual route.
With you on that. The 182 for XP11 from Carenado never worked for me (no PFD or MFD hence no instruments. Was hoping Carenado would fix it for XP12 but so far no joy. I'm currently running on Fedora Linux 40 with AMD Radeon RX7600 GPU and 32 GB of RAM. I know this isn't a Laminar Flow issue, but if they could just give Carenado a nudge...
I just installed te new update and voila! My XP is unusable! I had to turn off auto ortho to get any structures at the airport. My 737 had no cockpit, just a bunch of black metal where it should be, inside and outside. What gives? How can I undo this disaster update?
Going in the right direction but scenery needs further improvement. Some of us are VFR/student pilots. My practice area has chimneys, fuel farms, water towers you won't find in x-plane. MSFS tends to have more accurate VFR scenery depending on where you fly!

so far, my beta version shuts crashes repeatedly on my computer. Initially I assumed it was due to the aftermarketl A/C such as FF 757. But it is even crashing using the native aircraft, as well. I am downgrading back to the prior version for the near future. Hopefully, there will be a fix but for right now, I cannot enjoy any of these new features, due to my concern about the next crash.
@@austinmeyer Excellent . That's what I wanted to see, constant advances in the flight model. I hope you make a video explaining these improvements, they are very informative and entertaining to watch.

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for the hard work :) one small request, do you think it would ever be possible to make it possible to assign both left and right toe brakes on a single axis? I don’t always feel like pulling out rudder pedals and it would be nice to still be able to apply smooth braking using another axis. I know there is 3rd party plugins that allow for this but a native functionality would be nice
@@19Zet72 not everyone has so much time to spend switching out their whole setup so they can do a flight. If I’m busy and just wanna do a flight while I do some homework during cruise I like to keep my desk clear so I can use it for the homework, so I just use a HOTAS. I think there’s nothing wrong with that. Why should I entirely stop playing X-Plane just because I don’t want to always rearrange my desk when I have other tasks? Also this feature would be really helpful to people who don’t even have rudder pedals to begin with
Simply put, the pedals are used not only for braking but also for delicate correction of direction changes. You won't get this on one axis for both pedals at the same time. If something like this is enough for you, use the parking brake button. Alternatively, assign two buttons as left and right brake on hotas or use the keyboard.
@@19Zet72 I’m aware I won’t be able to use differential braking to make small turns while using a single axis. But that’s really not that important. Being able to have an axis for braking is not an absurd thing to ask for
It's hard to go back to XP after getting used to MSFS graphics but I have to say I really do miss the authentic feel of the XP flight dynamics. Additionally, I really respect Austin's determination to continually update the sim and progress towards the most realistic representation of flight possible. It's been since the launch of 12 that I've used it but I think it's time I give it another go.😁 Keep it up Austin!
Hello. X Plane 12 is a great flight simulator. I only have one more request: fix this error when the plane is in the middle of a cloud and from the external view I can see the nasty white-gray outlines of the plane. It has been this way since the very beginning of XP12. Other than that it's ok.
Love these new updates we are getting. Making me change from MSFS. I routinely fly both sims. Currently doing a flight to Every State using the Zibo 737-800 and the PMDG 737-800. I also love little things in this sim like the wheels still spinning after takeoff, or how every part can fail.
I love X-plane and the A330 is my favorite airplane on X-plane 12 the only thing that I don't like is the glare or reflection on the cockpit winshield at night.,I'm not able to see properly the runway and the city lights and even if I turn off the dome light it looks like if the dome light is on all the time.,hope you guys can fix it and hope you guys can make the A350 and A380
Congratulations, your work is incredible. Really sensational. But I would like to question something that has bothered me for years. When will we have more reliable avionics that are not from third parties? For example: I have Carenado planes with G1000 avionics that work but leave much to be desired. The system is incomplete because it lacks features. I bought it to try to better prepare myself for obtaining my type rating, but it ended up not being very useful because my focus is on the operation of the aircraft systems and avionics rather than the flight itself. Will we have, at some point, something viable for pilots to better prepare for exams?
Wait you can just set the number of other airplanes to 0 in the other aircraft setup in the main flight setup widow... just set them to 0 for max perf, no other planes in the way.. its right where you set the weather choose your plane and stuff.
as a flightsim enthusiast, x-plane is my favorite sim but there is a problem for me. I am an amd user both cpu and gpu (ryzen 7 5800x - Radeon 6800 Nitro ) no matter what i do (either low or high settinngs) ; couldn't get smooth performance and this makes me sad. (with these hardware performance is very good on other sims. smooth and high fps)

Either planemaker seems not calculating this, or x-plane does not have a sophisticated wind model. simply pushing air stream from the front onto a cross section is probably only half the job.

When is it out of beta? It is a step in the right direction but many more peformance improvements are needed in general and more so for VR. More efficient AA is needed and better scenery. Also dynamic foveated rendering would give at least 50% fps increase in VR with eye tracking HMDs.
When are you getting rid of those ridiculous tree reflections along water edges?
in the next update they should fix the lag when using a trackpad
Add true earth ( UK for me) and believe me it's a great training aid for VFR practise. I love it now. As a 300 hour PPL this really helps before an actual flight, with both handling the C172 and with visual Nav. practise prior to the actual route.
Great improvements , but still no C-182. The available from X11 do not work. This plane is critical for the training of many GA pilots
With you on that. The 182 for XP11 from Carenado never worked for me (no PFD or MFD hence no instruments. Was hoping Carenado would fix it for XP12 but so far no joy. I'm currently running on Fedora Linux 40 with AMD Radeon RX7600 GPU and 32 GB of RAM. I know this isn't a Laminar Flow issue, but if they could just give Carenado a nudge...
I just installed te new update and voila! My XP is unusable! I had to turn off auto ortho to get any structures at the airport. My 737 had no cockpit, just a bunch of black metal where it should be, inside and outside. What gives? How can I undo this disaster update?
Going in the right direction but scenery needs further improvement. Some of us are VFR/student pilots. My practice area has chimneys, fuel farms, water towers you won't find in x-plane. MSFS tends to have more accurate VFR scenery depending on where you fly!
Replay problem 😞 this version not showing friction dust and smoke in replay . This thing upset me 😞 plz just fix it
Love the sim update from a live cockpit! AWESOME!
Why is the VR performance so bad?
Looks good, nice enhancements!
I did the update, now my Hot Start Challenger 650 is not working.
I always thought you got the long end of it - I still belives
Muito obrigado Austin, sigo usando o XP12 e aguardando novas melhorias. Let's mind fly!
When can we use 100% of Honeywell suite with Mac ?
I wish there was a discount for trading up from version 11. Or 10, which I also paid full price. Hoping for a Steam deal eventually….
harbor freight flight bag goes crazy
I'm on 12.0.9-rc5 and when I run the installer it claims I'm up to date...?
Did Austin put autopilot on?
Amazing as always!
Nice! I love 12.1.0! Amazing job LR team
X-Plane is great, but it's missing a crucial feature: auto-save during flight. Often, when flying for an hour or two, the game can crash due to a power cut or PC failure. If auto-save were implemented, it would allow users to resume from where the sim or computer had shut down, rather than starting the flight from the beginning. Therefore, auto-save is a crucial feature that needs to be added to X-Plane.
so far, my beta version shuts crashes repeatedly on my computer. Initially I assumed it was due to the aftermarketl A/C such as FF 757. But it is even crashing using the native aircraft, as well. I am downgrading back to the prior version for the near future. Hopefully, there will be a fix but for right now, I cannot enjoy any of these new features, due to my concern about the next crash.
Excellent Thank you. It look and act amazing.
Rockin’ it as always sir!
Wehn will xplane mobile update Austin?
X-Plane suppports VR right? thanks
Excellent work Austin 👏
There is no improvement to the flight model in 12.1?
Nah.. that's all planned for 12.20.
@@austinmeyer Excellent . That's what I wanted to see, constant advances in the flight model. I hope you make a video explaining these improvements, they are very informative and entertaining to watch.
I quit flying XPlane12 a few years ago preferring MSFS 2000. But 12.1.0 is great! Loving it!
Fantastico Austin, grazie!
X-Plane 12 has been dope around this time, i haven't played in a minute like MSFS.

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for the hard work :) one small request, do you think it would ever be possible to make it possible to assign both left and right toe brakes on a single axis? I don’t always feel like pulling out rudder pedals and it would be nice to still be able to apply smooth braking using another axis. I know there is 3rd party plugins that allow for this but a native functionality would be nice
Its joke? If you are lazy please dont fly.
@@19Zet72 not everyone has so much time to spend switching out their whole setup so they can do a flight. If I’m busy and just wanna do a flight while I do some homework during cruise I like to keep my desk clear so I can use it for the homework, so I just use a HOTAS. I think there’s nothing wrong with that. Why should I entirely stop playing X-Plane just because I don’t want to always rearrange my desk when I have other tasks? Also this feature would be really helpful to people who don’t even have rudder pedals to begin with
Simply put, the pedals are used not only for braking but also for delicate correction of direction changes. You won't get this on one axis for both pedals at the same time. If something like this is enough for you, use the parking brake button. Alternatively, assign two buttons as left and right brake on hotas or use the keyboard.
@@19Zet72 I’m aware I won’t be able to use differential braking to make small turns while using a single axis. But that’s really not that important. Being able to have an axis for braking is not an absurd thing to ask for
@@19Zet72 god stop being such a massive loser
I love the sparks but on every aircraft I turned off failures and my gear still wouldn’t drop
It's hard to go back to XP after getting used to MSFS graphics but I have to say I really do miss the authentic feel of the XP flight dynamics. Additionally, I really respect Austin's determination to continually update the sim and progress towards the most realistic representation of flight possible. It's been since the launch of 12 that I've used it but I think it's time I give it another go.😁 Keep it up Austin!
If you get used to xplane physics you would find it hard to go to nsfd
Msfs
Thank you Austin!
Hello. X Plane 12 is a great flight simulator. I only have one more request: fix this error when the plane is in the middle of a cloud and from the external view I can see the nasty white-gray outlines of the plane. It has been this way since the very beginning of XP12. Other than that it's ok.
I have to say, MSFS might have a visual lead, but Xplane's physics and replay system is decades ahead of MSFS
Love these new updates we are getting. Making me change from MSFS. I routinely fly both sims. Currently doing a flight to Every State using the Zibo 737-800 and the PMDG 737-800. I also love little things in this sim like the wheels still spinning after takeoff, or how every part can fail.
Sounds like a great update!
does anyone know how to use 12.1 on steam?
What do you mean how to use it on Steam. If you have the Steam app for Windows, just log in and click Play when you go to X-Plane 12
You need to activate the public beta in Steam's properties (right click on your game).
Multiplayer?
Please add some missions if I am flying I would like to feel accomplished by delivering the president or having a engine failure that I did not expect
X Plane should team up with apple to make scenery.
I love X-plane and the A330 is my favorite airplane on X-plane 12 the only thing that I don't like is the glare or reflection on the cockpit winshield at night.,I'm not able to see properly the runway and the city lights and even if I turn off the dome light it looks like if the dome light is on all the time.,hope you guys can fix it and hope you guys can make the A350 and A380
All this wonky stuff... did you put in a decent SAVE situation?
Congratulations, your work is incredible. Really sensational.
But I would like to question something that has bothered me for years. When will we have more reliable avionics that are not from third parties? For example: I have Carenado planes with G1000 avionics that work but leave much to be desired. The system is incomplete because it lacks features. I bought it to try to better prepare myself for obtaining my type rating, but it ended up not being very useful because my focus is on the operation of the aircraft systems and avionics rather than the flight itself.
Will we have, at some point, something viable for pilots to better prepare for exams?
Please add a "Remove AI ground traffic" for airports, it just break my performance!
Wait you can just set the number of other airplanes to 0 in the other aircraft setup in the main flight setup widow... just set them to 0 for max perf, no other planes in the way.. its right where you set the weather choose your plane and stuff.
as a flightsim enthusiast, x-plane is my favorite sim but there is a problem for me. I am an amd user both cpu and gpu (ryzen 7 5800x - Radeon 6800 Nitro ) no matter what i do (either low or high settinngs) ; couldn't get smooth performance and this makes me sad. (with these hardware performance is very good on other sims. smooth and high fps)
I love this guy!!!!!! Austin, you are the best!!!!
dude ikr ☺. X-Plane wouldn't have existed without him imho
