The second release candidate of X-Plane 10.51 is up – I’m hoping this will be our final X-Plane 10.51. build. If you are having problems with 10.50, please use the installer with “gea betas” to get 10.51, then report a bug if you still have problems.

  1. After downloading it in Steam, now x-plane wants a DVD or digital key from me 🙁
    I tried also to validate it and reacquire files that do not validate, but I get the same horrible message.

  2. this update fixed an issue with KORD/KPHX payware taxiway bridges- all is well. hopefully this will be true with V11 too.

    1. I chime in with those thanks! Sebastian´s global airport version is just so much better. And we will need it for a while longer (until the Problem-BER opens – if ever…)

      Cheers, Jan

    2. The new model really looks nice, great work! But ATC seems to be broken whenever I fly from or to EDDT now. Takeoff works, but ATC remains silent when I reach my destination airport. Never get an approach.

  4. What effect had this bug in detail?
    Anti-alias request was un-inited on first run & had junk data (XPD-6745).
    Thanks and cheers,

  5. After loading 10.51r2 I’m getting a lot of stuttering which was not there in 10.51r1. I’ve changed nothing re computer or X-Plane set-up.
    I don’t know whats been changed via the update, but whatever it is it’s had some effect on my set-up.
    I remember this happened before on a previous update some time ago and it was corrected with another update a short while later. Hopefully this will happen again or I will have to revert to 10.51r1.

    1. I’m getting stuttering/jerky behaviour on my two side monitors, “External visual” running off separate machines when using 10.51r1 or 10.51r2.
      I also have intermittent jerky behaviour on the centre display, which is the master machine, although it is less frequent than the side monitors.
      The choice of aircraft doesn’t seem to make a difference and I’m getting 30fps on all monitors. Likewise with scenery, photo or default mesh, it’s still the same.

      I haven’t observed these problems with 10.45
      I’m using Windows 7 pro 64 bit.

        1. Hi Ben, just for your info, I deleted 10.51r2 and then reloaded 10.51r1 from a back-up. The only thing I did that was different was I reloaded 10.51r2 from an X-Plane installer rather than the popup on the start screen.
          It now seems to be running as before the update.

  7. Hi Ben,
    Congrats for such a great piece of software for all the simulator enthusiastic. I installed the demo and I am definitely leaving behind fsx. Nights are so realistic..wow…One question about the system. You think my computer can run the new simulator, I want to buy a copy of xplane 10 (free V11) upgrade. But I want to know i meet the requirements before I buy.

    I have an i7 CPU@3.15 ghz 8GB ram and gtx 960 – 4GB
    Thanks, and once again good job with the new xplane 11..The interface looks amazing…

    1. you should be able to get pretty decent results after fiddling with the rendering settings for a while to see what you like most and what features to tune down. I have lesser system cpu & gpu wise, and while its no where near what Id like, its still enjoyable enough where im not throwing my mb out the window.

  8. Some subtle freezing ( stuttering?)not present in 10.50.rc1.Have filed bug report Re.Movie recording/replays in Cinema Vertie , Linear Spot view and exhaust/smoke absent in movie recording.Otherwise 10.50 is excellent thank you.

  9. Hello Ben,

    I noticed that the clouds coverages are over represented when the real weather is On, the scattered layer is showed like broken layer and the broken appear like overcast, the others types od clouds layers are ok! This effect is more noticeable in areas with few weather stations. I already filed as a bug for the previous version 10.45, 10.50. I don´t want to bore you with a lot of entries on bug reporter, but I want to know if it was identified as a bug, or when a new version appears the older entities on bug reporter stays active.

  10. I would ask the same question as Snowblind_7, Ben. I (and perhaps others) have filed a bug regarding the unusual increase in tire skidding sounds during steering and breaking that is out of proportion to what would occur in real life – super, super sensitive. Not sure what improvement begat this, but it would be a detraction from what has been a very successful run for X-Plane 10 for this to remain unresolved when the last version is cut. So knowing whether or not to re-file this for every new RC would be super useful.

    Thanks for everything – you’re juggling more and more every day – and we know it!

    2. After re-reading your lead post, Ben, I refiled the bug report. Sorry for cluttering the blog.

  11. After installing 10.51R2. Boeing 737-800 X737_V5 for all formats in not working. The Stabelizer trim is in runaway to full nose up. This happens at startup.
