Erich Berner Posted December 21, 2021 at 11:37 AM Posted December 21, 2021 at 11:37 AM Hi all, I remember reading about Velocity quite a while back and was really excited to hear about the lag and jittery type movements being done away with when the new software releases. I have been doing quite a bit of online flying recently and it occurred to me that those juttery, jerking movements still exist. The only information I have seen on the latest update was last posted in April this year. Has Velocity become another victim of flightsim projects which just die, or is it still a thing. It was last in Alpha. Seen no talk of Beta. Cheers eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any more information than that though? Still in Alpha, Beta? Broad release timeline I'm guessing '2022'?

That's great news Alexandra If I recall correctly, when I first read about Velocity about two years back, one of the big appeals for me was the elimination of obvious lag, stuttery ground movement and the springboard-like takeoff of aircraft. Is my understanding correct that these visual issues are eliminated with Velocity Edited January 22, 2022 at 09:55 AM by Erich Berner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our large scale test a few weeks ago went very well, so hopefully we will have more news soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Jenkins Posted January 31, 2022 at 09:38 AM Posted January 31, 2022 at 09:38 AM Excited to see velocity coming out later. Quick question, the blog post says that euroscope won't be affected, but will it still get access to the new data? I'm just thinking of people who use towerview to watch from the tower on a sim client via euroscope, will this still get the new frequency of updates or will it be stuck to the old frequency of updates?

Marcelo Farah Posted January 31, 2022 at 05:42 PM Posted January 31, 2022 at 05:42 PM Just one question, with VatSim Velocity, do we have to use xpilot or can we use another pilot client such as swift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Townsend Posted January 31, 2022 at 10:35 PM Posted January 31, 2022 at 10:35 PM Updated vPilot tonight in order to try out the new Velocity client. What a pity. Unable to join tonight.. Network error: Too many clients connected. Tried UK, Germany and Canada - same result.... 537 is too many? Really? The only time you have too much fuel onboard is when you're on fire!

The network was to be taken off-line at 2200z, for approx 30-45 mins, people have been asked not to connect during that time, it's 2243z my guess is its not finished yet and you should wait till you are told you can re connect.

When upgrades have happened in the past, a restricted number of people have been given access to test things before they open the floodgates and allow everyone to crack on - I'm sure there will be an announcement made in due course.

Danny Moore Posted January 31, 2022 at 11:27 PM Posted January 31, 2022 at 11:27 PM I'm on the new system and a lot of the planes are below the ground. I say 1/4 of the planes in Boston only show the tail sticking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Thanks Kirk. I did try later and did an hour flight, all worked well. I guess I'm just too keen! The only time you have too much fuel onboard is when you're on fire!

Jorge Rizzo Posted February 1, 2022 at 12:32 AM Posted February 1, 2022 at 12:32 AM Hello good, I downloaded the new xpilot client and when trying to connect to the network, it crashes and xplane closes. Is it a known problem or am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. I’m using the version pushed down today. 3.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 1, 2022 at 01:52 AM Posted February 1, 2022 at 01:52 AM Restart the client and it should update to 3.0.2 and this takes care of it. There will still be some planes that are a few inches or a few feet above ground, that's a separate issue that I'm going to work on. It's due to size differences in the model being flown by the pilot and the model used to render them in the sim. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted February 1, 2022 at 03:49 AM Posted February 1, 2022 at 03:49 AM Hey Ross, Thanks for all your tireless efforts and invaluable labor on behalf of all of us. V-pilot is a wonderful client! Bob Bressert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Froemmel Posted February 1, 2022 at 05:25 PM Posted February 1, 2022 at 05:25 PM Hello and thanks for the velocity-update. I did find an issue with planes taxiing and parking aloft. I was using MSFS with vpilot 3.0.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 1, 2022 at 07:17 PM Posted February 1, 2022 at 07:17 PM That is most likely due to a known issue with pilots using the swift client. It is not sending altitudes correctly. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
