The First Run Will Take a While To Loadįor some users, the first time you start the sim in Metal or Vulkan you may see several extra minutes of load time while X-Plane compiles shaders. If you have Windows 7, please update your OS – Microsoft isn’t security patching Windows 7, so it’s more than time. (1) In theory Vulkan should run on Windows 8, but our devs are all running Windows 10. If Vulkan or Metal crashes on startup, we will turn the check-box off automatically so you are not locked out of X-Plane. ![]() To run with Vulkan or Metal, there is a new check-box in the rendering settings screen – just check the box and restart. Hackintoshes: we have heard anecdotally that GeForce 10 series on a Hackintosh does work, but we do not have this hardware in the company, so YMMV.Any GPU that comes with a Mac that can run 10.13 or newer or.Linux users need a distro that can run reasonably recent proprietary NVidia or AMD drivers.Windows users need Windows 10-we do not support Vulkan on Windows 7.(1).Here’s a break-down of what you need to run with the Vulkan or Metal drivers: If you can run X-Plane 11, you should be able to run X-Plane 11.50 if you have an old operating system or hardware, you may be stuck running X-Plane 11.50 with only OpenGL as the driver. Non-Steam users can get the update by running the installer, checking the “get betas” box, and running Steam users will be able to get beta soon by picking public betas in the application properties. If you post in the comments that you got the beta and now you can’t fly and you are sad, probably the other commenters are just going to say “I told you so” a few hundred times. Like all public betas with the number “one” in the title, this is a very new, very untested beta if you wish to try it, maybe keep your regular X-Plane install around. ![]() This is probably the most complex single patch we have developed with regards to third party add-ons their help testing and trouble-shooting issues was invaluable. I want to extend my appreciation to the 50+ third party developers who participated in the eleven (!) private developer previews. ![]() (Steam users: the beta is staged on the servers, and we’ll let it loose this afternoon if it isn’t setting people’s machines on fire.) X-Plane 11.50 public beta 1 is now available for download to everyone.
