https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-08-release-notes/

Bug fixes from 12.0.8 Beta run:

• XPD-14808 – Crash when destroying the aircraft_grid_widget and the full size render icon has been purged.
• XPD-14806 – Crash when checking for available readback command when not tuned to a valid controller.
• XPD-14800 – External visuals go into infinite loading loop.
• XPD-14809 – The list of XP instances in the network for existing IP entries is wrong if new host shows up.
• XPD-14833 – Icing effect doesn’t properly work without thermal textures.
• XPD-14810 – Memory leak in telemetry system.
• XPD-14791 – “Reset UDP ports” button leaves inet init error displayed with updated port.
• XPD-14643 – Mouse wheel scrolling fails at right side of screen with FSR.
• XPD-14787 – Assertion failed when landing or loading Skyhawk float plane on solid ground.
• XPD-14786 – Crash when popping up ATC window at EGPR.
• XPD-14779 – Tons of PNG iCCP warnings with zibo & 12.0.8-beta2.
• XPD-14775 – Bug report “Complement to my last submission “impossible to push back.
• XPD-14554 – Tips during load don’t rotate anymore.
• XPD-14774 – Performance Regression reading “sim/aircraft/view/acf_livery_path”.
• XPD-14750 – Bug report “Carrier snaps and violently pulls aircraft to catapult location when taxing close”.
• XPD-14631 – Bug report “Freezing mode is not working properly”.
• XPD-14755 – Default MD-82 fails to draw fuel from CENTER fuel tank: engines quit when wing fuel runs out
• XPD-14760 – X-feed selected L or R causes Opp engine shut down in AirSim3D C560XL
• XPD-14753 – Planemaker: can’t select “None” for tank-moves-with-wing option in weight/balance
• XPD-14638 – In FakeVR mode, the mouse cursor is behind windows and the panel and can’t interact
  • This fixes the depth readback being broken in fake VR mode as well as the blue bar at the bottom of the VR preview.
• XPD-14746 – Blue bar at bottom of VR rendering
  • Fixed the fake VR window being valid memory and allow de-referencing it, leading to the blue bar bug in 12.0.8.
• XPD-14748 – Lightning Strikes Glitch Frame on OS X
  • This fixes flt_rand to not create a new random device (an OS call) per flt_rand call – this was costing 30 ms in an optimized build on my Mac per lightning strike
• XPD-14777 – CDU #2 datarefs may get truncated depending on current CDU#1 page
  • CDU#2 datarefs use wrong size function (for CDU#1), so text on CDU#2 may get truncated (or have garbage) depending on what is shown on CDU#1. Likely caused a by copy-paste error with CDU#2 dataref defs.
• Fix 737 – ground power avail light to be in sync with sim
  • The annunciator in the 737 would indicate based on logic that was similar, but not identical to the sim, thus making the light out of sync with the actual power. So, deleted the custom logic in Lua script that would handle the “ground power is available now” annunciator light in the 737 co*ckpit, and instead hooked up the annunciator to the actual GPU voltage available in the sim.
• Restore fuel valves init to “any” for multi-engine planes
  • Restore fuel valves init to “any” for multi-engine planes with no 2D fuel selectors (this matches 12.07 behavior for C90, MD80, with no plugin setting the fuel selector on start up).

• XPD-14827 – GPU Volts not set to zero when ground services terminated
• Fix setting of target RakNet port when selecting hosts in the network settings UI.
  • When using a non-default receiving port, the host could not be selected from drop-down menus on other PCs in the network – they would just copy the address of the host as if it was manually entered and use wrong (default) RakNet port.The problem was in set_beacon_to_use(), it needs to set raknet port to that of received beacon, otherwise get_beacon_to_use() will not match usage for any beacons.
• Replay backwards compat fixes:
  • During the V12.0.8 beta and RC run, some unplanned changes to the replay file format slipped through. This makes previous 12.0.8 versions incapable of correctly loading replay or situation files saved by previous versions of the simulator, and vice versa. This is now fixed.
  • Loading situation or replay files saved at a custom airport would fail to load on a simulator setup without that scenery, this is now fixed.
• XPD-14740 – Crash due to broken navdata not being handled correctly
• XPD-14735 – Dataref Read/Write Ability Gone

  • FMOD events in the past did not take rotational velocities into consideration but now they do!

Release candidate 3

Lighting:

The auto-exposure system is still being modified; RC3’s light levels are the same as RC1/RC2. Third party developers can get detailed notes on the state of lighting and how to update in the X-Plane developer lobby.

RC3 does change how brightness is managed in glass displays; authors should enter the real world max luminance of their displays.

We expect to be able to re-enable auto-exposure to improve the look of the sim under various lighting conditions next week.

Flight model:

Airfoil critical mach number improved. Transsonic airflow over wings improved, particular in swept-wing aircraft such as airliners. Developers can watch Austin’s explanation video for more information
