I ran it (10) with this flag a few years ago, and it launched but the textures were replaced by just black. The terrain was completely black, with light effects still working. It was on an AMD GPU and worked perfectly fine with fglrx, but not with RadeonSI/Mesa.

It always worked with MESA. By default it used to exit with a message but there is also some flag which allows you to force a start. The only reason you need the flag is, that the devs only want to support two drivers on Linux. Support in terms of dealing with questions in the forums. From my experience though it worked most of the time flawlessly.

Originally posted by ALRBP View PostMaybe it has changed but I remember that not so long ago this support was limited to proprietary drivers, no Mesa support. This was not much an issue back in the time when Intel GPUs were not enough powerful for flight simulation and AMD still had fglrx but now, most AMD users have open source AMDGPU, which is much more convenient to use than proprietary drivers and have better performances in lots of cases, and Intel's GPU have enough power for this application. Only Nvidia users can be satisfied by a software that only supports proprietary drivers. So I hope that X-Plane is now usable with Mesa or will be soon (with Vulkan maybe).

It's worked fine with RadeonSI for a while and is benchmarked every so often in my driver/GPU articles.
