🔴 O61 to KFLX | XP12 12.4.1 Beta Performance Test | AirFoilLabs C172 on VATSIM

Tonight is a performance test night! X-Plane 12 Beta 12.4.1 B1 just released and early reports are showing a 15–20% FPS increase — so we’re going flying to see if it’s real. We’ll be in the AirFoilLabs C172 on VATSIM, departing O61 and working toward KFLX, but the real goal isn’t just point A to B — it’s to fly over all kinds of terrain: cities, desert, and varied elevation to stress the sim and check smoothness, stutters, and overall performance. Departure Airport: O61 - Cameron Park Arrival Airport: KFLX – Fallon Municipal Airport (Nevada) This stream is focused on testing the new XP12 12.4.1 Beta (B1) improvements in a practical way: real flying, mixed scenery types, and real VATSIM procedures. The AFL C172 is perfect for this kind of testing—low and slow over dense cities, then out into wide open desert where we can compare performance and stability. If you’ve been waiting for XP12 to feel smoother, tonight’s flight should be a great look at what this beta really delivers.
