Minimum iPad Requirements For Trees

I believe the IPad Pro with M1 chip has trees (Pro with M2 certainly has, because I got it). I’m not sure if non- Pro IPads with an M chip have trees, if those IPads even exist

I have an iPad Pro 12,9 4th Generation and trees are visible. Really impressive view.

I run an ipad air 5th gen M1 and mine just about loads trees but the framerate starts to suffer at current graphics settings. should i be able to load trees confidently or can mine barely handle it?

I recently got an iPad Air M3, and it can run trees just fine at 30fps, but as soon as I let the fps go up to 60fps, I notice that every half minute, the fps will fall to 27 fps, and then return back to normal. Is this normal? I’ve had to limit the fps back to 30fps with trees, or use the sim at 60fps without trees. Wonder if there’ll be an optimization update for trees. I don’t think it’s my iPad, since it has the M3 processor, but rather an iPad OS or simulator problem, but I’d like confirmation.

I have an iPad Pro with an M5 processor. I found out by accident, but the simulator runs most smoothly in "Low Power Mode (!)" and with limited frame rate settings (30 fps) and with trees. This is especially noticeable with helicopters. These settings were also fine on a tablet with an M1 processor. Don't ask me why this is because I don't know. Just try it.

R22 rudder bug with the Apple M processors

I managed to capture the error on video, which Overloaded brought to our attention.

The phenomenon:
When using the Limited frame rate setting, when you press any rudder pedal, the helicopter first turns about 5 degrees to the right, stops, and then turns in the desired direction. This error also occurs on low and ultra graphics quality settings. If the frame rate is not limited, the error does not occur.

My device is an Ipad Pro M5, os: ios26, app: beta 1.5.9 (1225).

Thanks, sim runs fine for me now, although it’s a shame I’m stuck at 30fps, maybe soon they’ll fix it.

I don't know, maybe it's an iOS bug. Anyway, as I wrote above, there is a setting where the simulator runs smoothly without any hiccups, drains the battery more slowly, and the processor doesn't get hot either.
