![]() Librain is being integrated default in X-Plane 12, being developed by Sasokiselkov, the system will be integrated default in the next generation. Volumetric puddles and snow will also be coming as part of this new system. Weather ground effects are new in X-Plane 12 too. The new clouds take advantage of ray marking technology, also claimed to utilise less GPU power. Cloud rendering is being overhauled in X-Plane 12 bring brand new volumetric clouds. Next up was Ben Supnik, addressing cloud rendering. The new weather system takes advantage of NOAA Grib Models to forecast the weather to make sure changes are smooth and seamless when flying, globally.Īlongside weather, comes temperate, and low temperatures bring icing, which is being overhauled inside X-Plane 12. X-Plane 12 will bring weather smooth weather transitions, removing the painful and dramatic sudden weather changes that plagued X-Plane 11. WeatherĪustin opened the technical progress coming with the new sim with updates to the weather system. The preview video ended with the announcement that the new aircraft will be coming default with X-Plane 12. The sweeping wings and new afterburner effect were shown alongside the gorgeous new atmospherics and trees. With a dynamic HUD that moves with cockpit movements, it adds a real sense of immersion into the world of X-Plane. The presentation started with the unveiling of a new F14 Tomcat trailer, with an all-new HUD system inside. The seminar hall was full as the audience looked at history being unveiled. (Disclaimer.Thompson Meeks and the rest of the team from Laminar Research have taken to the stage in person in San Diego, as well as remotely to unveil their new offering to the flight sim world. X-Plane 12 (Beta) is purchased directly from Laminar Research for US$59.95 and the download file size is 82 GB If you want to fly old X-Plane aircraft, then a lot are still reliant on this data, not having it in there could also crash your Simulator as well.Īircraft data updates are exactly the same as before with no new additions. I have also added into the new X-Plane 12 "Custom data" the older (updated AIRAC 2010) folder of GNS430 data. So these new elements are part of that system and are interesting additions to X-Plane. The ATC data is an interesting addition, I also expect the data here to grow during the life of X-Plane 12, JIm Keir has noted that the basic ATC included in the release of X-Plane 12 is just that in being a basic running system, to be heavy enhanced more in the future. Navigraph have auto installer, but I still prefer to do a manual install here.Īnd that is now done and the new AIRAC is installed. The X-Plane 12 "Custom Data" folder is clean as well with a read me text.īut to update your cycle data, you drag in your new cycle data to the Custom data Folder. The main aspects are not changed in the actual navigation data but extra elements have been added in for X-Plane 12. Here are the different downloads between X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 (X-Plane 11 is on the right). ![]() Second data storage is the "Custom Data" folder in X-Plane 12 default folder. The main data is stored in "Resources/default data", but you never ever touch this data, and it can lay there for years unless Laminar Research do a remote data update, so in most cases it is always out of date (and why your runway is out of alignment). The data is stored in X-Plane in two places. The current cycle is AIRAC Cycle 2210 10th September - 8th October 2022 ![]() There are two (subscriptions) to update to the current cycle data data one is Navigraph, the second is Aerosoft's " NavDataPro". This is the aeronautical data that runs behind the scenes to create a mirror realistic world of real navigation data to fly the aircraft. ![]() As the first NavData release comes around since X-Plane 12 was unleashed on to the world, there are some interesting changes you need to be aware of.Ĭycles known as the AIRAC (Aeronautical Information Regulation And Control) cycle is used and produces revisions every 56 days (double AIRAC cycle) or every 28 days (single AIRAC cycle). ![]()
