[X-Plane 12] XP12.1 Beta-1's New Look | SR22 | Meta Quest 3 RTX 4080S

[@lukalevstek7851]

After a couple of beers you wouldn't be able to realize it is only a simulation. 😅

[@dealwolfstriked272]

NGL I was gonna ask if this is real!

[@jcommtube]

Thank you ! That Venice scenery looks AMAZING !

[@tiemji]

It's awesome!!! Superb scenery and visual!

[@DanilloDavid]

Uow! Amazing! Tks a lot man! Hugs from Brazil

[@Radiosabines]

Nice short Flight cap. i can see also some improvements in VR at home ( Quest 3 i513600K +RTX3800) Thx

[@crisk73]

Better graphics for sure in VR, flight model is top tier. Still needing ortho scenery to be believable.

[@Kenedien_737]

5 words, this looks real

[@ollyalme]

No it doesn't. Far from it. But it looks _good_

[@davido1953]

That Venice scenery appears to be for XP11 but it works in XP12? Looks pretty amazing.

[@crisk73]

Yes correct.

[@theophanie77]

Very nice flight and views. Thx.

[@jericks06]

Might have to bust out XP12 soon. I can't get MSFS to work anymore. Bought XP12 day one and haven't used it even once lol.

[@crisk73]

Yeah now XP12 is worth trying.

[@ed.mil.5029]

Beautiful.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Looks great but the frustration for me is that I can get 40+ FPS on MSFS with everything on high but in XP12 on the same PC I'm lucky to see 20FPS. It really is a hog.

[@crisk73]

True!

[@nullvoid3990]

wait theres finally a game that runs WORSE than xp11 and fs2020? AAAAAAAAAAA

How beauty the XP

[@leodr8083]

I’ve been trying to connect X-Plane 12 on my Meta Quest 3 and I still can’t figure it out how to do it, could you please explain how did you make it work?

[@crisk73]

Hi just use the Quest Link official app. First launch it then launch XP and in the XP menu switch to VR mode. That's pretty straightforward.

[@joeynuggetz]

How do you get X-plane to start up expecting OpenXR? It still complains about steamVR each time I try to enable VR and I dont want to use SteamVR.

[@crisk73]

XP12.1 is on OpenXR by default, you don't need to tweak the exe link anymore.

[@sksanjivsingh]

Thanks!

[@crisk73]

Thanks to you. Much appreciated!

[@luftbilderhd]

How is overall performance (regarding fps) in VR in comparison to version 12.0.9?

[@crisk73]

I'd say the same. I can notice only a small improvement from my GPU upgrade.

[@strider00111]

@@crisk73 What kind of frame rates are you getting?

[@crisk73]

@@strider00111 Between 32 to 37 which is enough for VR with that level of detail and res.

[@gabrielepierattelli3948]

Way better than fs2020

[@crisk73]

The scenery of course is less spectacular than fs but to me it feels more natural (less fake).

[@gabrielepierattelli3948]

@@crisk73 Yes..... LESS saturated and vivid colors and more scatteres light.... and more of all weather and CLOUDS are more natural

[@crisk73]

Yes even if thunderstorm cells are not represented at the moment. At least in Europe I still haven''t found any.

[@JamesKirk1965]

Thx for this nery nice video. How did you get OpenXR Toolkit working ?

[@crisk73]

I used the Nightly build of OXRT. You can find a link to the build at the .Org site.

[@maxdenhaag1]

Still dark textures !

[@mirescapeful]

looks good. .

[@EdyRamos-v1t]

It’s not really 😮?

[@Bellthorian]

X Plane 12 is on par with FSX in terms of visual fidelity but it is not in the same league as MSFS 2020. Venice looks like a good computer simulation like FSX but when I fly it in MSFS 2020, I feel like I am actually in Venice.

[@crisk73]

Well.. the free Venice addon is pretty old.. but better than nothing.

[@Mauriciovideomaker]

How do you click the bottons in vr?

[@crisk73]

There are two options: 1) with physical controllers (which I'm not using in this video) 2) with the mouse cursor (the big arrow I'm moving around the cockpit).

[@luftbilderhd]

Is there a reason why you are using the mouse instead of VR controllers?

[@crisk73]

Simply because in a GA plane the workload with buttons and knobs is low, otherwise for a liner I'd have used controllers.

[@luftbilderhd]

@@crisk73 Thanks for your reply. I see. Although it’s a little bit strange to wear VR googles on your head and move a mouse over a table. But the big developer team of MSFS still isn’t able to implement VR hand controllers, which worked in X-Plane (11) on day 1.

[@luftbilderhd]

How did you record this? Is this Oculus Mirror?

[@crisk73]

Yes correct, with image stabilizer on.

[@racingtheweb]

Si può scaricare?

[@crisk73]

La Demo sì.

[@racingtheweb]

@@crisk73 Ok grazie

[@calinutza33]

Still shit if you compare it with MSFS at graphics, at least it’s very good at flying physics ! 👍

[@crisk73]

Correct. MSFS is graphics, XP is physics. Hopefully MSFS24 will be both who knows...

[@calinutza33]

@@crisk73 I hope I am wrong but I heard it wouldn’t be much better at flying physics ! 🥹

I wouldn't say bad, of course they can be improved.

[@mariocardabollo3631]

graphics look better in my modded fs2004.

[@crisk73]

Xplane is not about graphics, it's about the true feeling of flying.

[@mariocardabollo3631]

@@crisk73 i´ve always heard that shit.

[@crisk73]

But it's true!

[@akmguru1062]

Meh MSFS still looks better.

[@crisk73]

Yes that's true but the feeling of flying is better on XP unless you fly the A2A on msfs.

[@jpsalo5975]

Why does everything still look like it's made of cardboard..?

[@crisk73]

Cause everyone has their own opinion.

[@burgadahz17]

Because the xplane graphics engine is literally a decade behind that of msfs. It seems quite lazy and unfortunate to me that they do not update a 10-year-old graphics engine in 2024.

[@crisk73]

XP graphical engine is older and of course uglier, I agree, but to me it feels more realistic, I don't know why, it's just so...
