Originally posted by wagaf View PostYes the Space Shuttle in X-Plane is amazing, it's very realistic. You can see YouTube videos of the actual Shuttle approach and it's really the same thing. I wonder if NASA pilots could actually use X-Plane for training.
Trying to get the shuttle into a good, circular orbit is quite a challenge and finally pushed me to replace my inaccurate joystick with a high quality Flightstick
And the best thing about FlightGear is that it's free software and works very well with AMD's free drivers, too.

X-Plane needs compatibility profiles, which are not officially supported by the open source drivers. This will be the case until XP11 switches to a Vulkan based renderer. IIRC, there is an option to force it to run anyway.

It's a bit ridiculous to prevent something from being installed because you're using unsupported GPUs. Giving the user a warning saying something along the lines of "Warning: your graphics drivers are unsupported. Compatibility profiles, stability, and performance may be compromised. We are not responsible for any issues you encounter. Continue at your own risk" and just leave it at that. They could always do what Feral does and only help those who supply system logs. If you have a request and you're using unsupported drivers, they don't have to continue any further with helping you.

They have already posted some things about changing the way plugins render and this will eventually happen to make sure the engine can switch to Vulkan/Metal.

Yes, Michael at your age you were a Privatpilot? Why you stopped flying?
@debianfxce Check x-plane.org forums. Some users reported success with opensource drivers and with the --force_run argument.
