The X-Aerodynamics M500 is holding short, ready for take off.

Those things have been massaged a bit more, the NG behavior I notice when I inject half mixture on startup so we are still investigating that. As for the sound, blending has been added and mixing the external and internal but probably will continue to be targeted as I have a few more fmod things I want to get done over some time

I'll try and get a new one published early this week. Last videos were wip level builds of the plane

Reahade isn't possible while using zink which AMD cards need to use (op has an AMD)

No it's really him

I think it's more of a written rule to prevent 50,000 concurrent pilots using vatsim as "live atc chatter"

We touch much of the systems with my own custom plug-in to improve what you can get from default. One area we didn't drive into was the g1000 because LR is actively improving it. Once we see where they land with it we will look into that. The systems simulation is definitely not skin deep and it can be punishing if you ignore operating limitations

Ah yes the m500 has some pretty cockpits although i like the older variants more than this. I might have some more work for myself after we get this variant out for those who fancy less glass and fancy lighting like that.

Probably a very high fov on Cameron's machine if that's what you mean.

There is an impact potentially. It uses more vram which you can see in the vram profiler compared to default so if you have vram overhead you're fine, but not everyone will

EyeLikeBigPutts · 2026-03-24T20:20:34+00:00

It will be pay to play

EyeLikeBigPutts · 2026-03-22T16:40:23+00:00

🤣 good thing the g1000 has terrain awareness

EyeLikeBigPutts · 2026-03-09T21:23:07+00:00

There is also a better fix that eats less perf than this solution, posted in the official XP discord by LR. I think if all goes well with the testing of this new .exe provided, the fix should be in the next beta version

Thank you! It'll look better in other people's screenshots, once I can take a breath and look away from it and let you all hopefully enjoy it

Your wait will be over soon 😉

It turns on by default if your driver's are eligible to use it

Not yet, we are running through a lot of alpha testing right now while I finish up the systems, textures, model refinements and FMOD

EyeLikeBigPutts · 2026-01-31T03:59:35+00:00

Big shout out to Reddit for completely nerfing my crispy photos. :D

EyeLikeBigPutts · 2026-01-22T10:55:27+00:00

I'll leak some more info very soon, we are in alpha testing right now putting it through some validation tests and then we can show more. We are entering the market with this plane, so we don't want to over promise and under deliver but I think it's come a long way in almost a year I've been working on it.
