(This doesnвЂ™t mean all of your favorite add-ons will work or just be updated, it just means the developers should have something in progress.) So if your add-on has a problem and you donвЂ™t know why, please contact us ASAP. At this point we are done with modifications to third party APIs for Vulkan compatibility, and we believe anything you need to make your add-on work is already available. If you develop a third party add-on and it does not just work with X-Plane 11.50 and you do not know why, you will need to look at the situation ASAP. So we have made progress but we are not done yet. Details on this in a future post.ДЇor performance, same situation: we have already fixed some performance issues, and others we still know about. We do still have known issues we have to fix. We have identified others, but as of b9 things should be better. The good news is: we have already put in some improvements for VRAM use. The bad news is: we thought b9 was going to make a huge difference in stability for Vulkan and from our auto-crash reports, it appears it did not. In a past post I set an order for fixing the trifecta of Vulkan pain:

So the good news is: when it comes to functionality we are almost there yet.

We have code that is partly or fully done for both of those things.

Vulkan/Metal device picks the wrong device on multi-GPU setups.

Shadows look jagged and do other silly things.

Here are a few things that are still there: Some of them are big topics, so I will dive into them in a separate post. This list kills off most of the high profile scary things on our Trello board.

Texture paging has been tuned to avoid wasting VRAM in a number of places вЂ“ this should hopefully help with blurry textures.

Background processing is now optimized so we can run comfortably on a four-core machine.

Plugins that create multiplayer aircraft can publish their aircraft to TCAS.

Plugin map drawing works in Vulkan/Metal.

Dome warping for pro customers works in Vulkan/Metal.

Icon preview generation works in Vulkan/Metal.

HereвЂ™s some things that are done as of beta 9: We had something that you could fly with, that was delightful for some users (and unstable for others), but we also had a big list of things we still needed to do. X-Plane 11.50 has been similar to X-Plane 11.20 (our VR) release and different from what we normally try to do, in that when we went beta (both private and public), the work for Vulkan wasnвЂ™t done yet. There are a lot of changes in this one since itвЂ™s kind of 3-in-one. So we held off on releasing betas 7 and 8 to the public while we fixed those issues. Since then, weвЂ™ve been doing one of the easiest and probably most useful things we can: posting the betas early to third-party developers who are in our developer Slack channel.Д«eta 7/8 had a ton of changes, and our third-party developers found multiple problems, some of which we wouldnвЂ™t see in our internal tests. We got a variety of responses, ranging from вЂњprivate test it firstвЂќ to вЂњroll it out in a waveвЂќ to вЂњfull speed ahead, we know betas are bumpy.вЂќ

A week or two ago we had a very dead beta, and posed the question of how to incrementally test betas in the future.
