X-Plane 10.51 has now been officially released; you’ll be prompted to auto-update.  10.51 fixes a few bugs in 10.50 and updates the global airports.

There is one bug we are still tracking: a number of professional customers have reported worse external-visual tracking with 10.51 than with 10.45. If you see this on your setup, please file a bug; we are working with these pro customers individually to test possible fixes.

(We can’t easily reproduce this bug because the performance characteristics of multi-machine setups are very particular to the specific machines, rendering settings, and networking hardware involved.)

  1. Ben, I am experiencing the slave machine visual tracking issue (dual imac here). I have already filed a bug when i first started testing 10.50 by beta 2.

    Do i need to re-issue the bug report?

    My slave imac experiences 2 issues (not seen in 10.45):
    -Slave machine visuals tend to jump/skip frames very noticeable when left to right movements (i.e. while taxing during sharp turns)
    -Slave machine tends to go out of sync, sometimes it requires to reload the aircraft on the slave machine to get it back on track.

  2. I have noticed external (chase plane view) frame rates are slower and a bit “jerky” with 10.51r2 and often in the upper teens in dense scenery.
    I have a top level machine i7-4790K @ 4.8GHz and GTX1080 with nVidia 375.63 drivers.
    Extreme textures, textures NOT compressed, very high distance, SkyMaxx Pro 3.3.2 and RWC.
