862RC1 - FPS back, maybe

Posted on 08:35 by Unknown
X-Plane 862 RC1 is out. Just to clear up confusion, this is the next RC after 861RC1 and is just more bug fixes (all bug fixes from 861RC1 plus a few more).

There are two things hopefully working in 862:
  1. I think we got the optimization settings right - framerates on Windows should match 860. If they don't, please let me know.
  2. There is another object-placement bug fix in 862. If you're still seeing problems with object placement depending on which direction you approach a scenery area from, please let me know.
