Why this novelty now? It starts with plane ready to go, even though choosing "dark and cold", and no menu anywhere. What happened? Some new update by Laminar that f*cked IXEG yet again? This is very frustrating.

The sound settings are global.
I see.

Ok, thanks. But could that be why people are having sound problems, or is it some other thing?

Some feedback. I made a flight with Zibo737. After arrival, changed to IXEG to make the flight back, and no sounds. I had airport and weather sounds, but nothing on the plane. Restarted X-Plane, got sounds back. It's like the sound systems of each plane takes over the XP sound and don't "give it back", as it were. Like when you fly with IXEG, if you take down the volume on IXEG's panel, when you open another XP aircraft, the X-Plane sound is at that low volume.

You are right, I can see it with the "front galley lights" being on!
I think it is an artifact of X-Plane´s lighting engine resolution, lights that are further away will have less resolution when it comes to their lighting effects to save on rendering performance (kind of like the shadows do, too).
I think the ultimate goal her is to emulate the cockpit door and rear wall being really opaque...so that there is no lighting from the cabin if the door is open (in the real airplane the galley lights go dim when the cockpit door is open).
Good enough. Thanks. I thought the "phong" thing because I sometimes forget and get that in some models, which is a pain in the arse.
Awaiting the wipers, then. Funny that I almost never use the wipers, but now that the plane is out, it's raining everywhere I go! Followed your instructions and managed a much better landing, but still, as soon as I touch down, the nose goes down and bangs on the runway really quick. Do you cut the power completely off around 10f or something? Or just after touching down? I see guys cutting off around 30 or 20. Maybe I'm coming in too slow, already at ref speed before touch down. But I'll get there.

That "phong" you see is not showing on my screen, but I have seen something like that before, I think it may depend on graphics card settings/driver/anti-aliasing?
Could be, I'll check. Did you check at night with the cabin lights? I think it depends on some angle the light comes in. But it's no big deal, whatever it is. You guys have bigger birds to land (as in "bigger fish to fry"). Thanks for the reply.

As mentioned in our update email, the recent patch was solely focused on addressing the Level 2 activation issue. We’ll be addressing the windshield wipers and other noted issues in a subsequent update. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Indeed, sorry.

So, Litjan, you say there's no backlight for the letters and numbers on the FMC, is that it?
I'm flying with the newly sent fix and everything working fine, but the windshield wipers are still not working.
I get the polys and lighting problem, so no worries. One thing I noticed that's pretty minor, but it's noticeable at night is the "phong" (or no phong) in the throttle base and the trim wheel. You can see the polygons, so it's a thing for the art department to fix, but as I said it's pretty minor. Pic attached. (Phong or "soft edges" or "round", it goes by many names, but it's a thing that rounds off the polys, so it appears like a smooth curve. Didn't notice that in daylight.

Which backlight do you feel too weak?
Landings feel a bit different in XP12, you need to concentrate on not letting the nose drop as you approach the runway, raise it by ca. 3 degrees as you go through 30 feet and leave power on a second longer.
FMC panel. (Is that the FMC? Yes, the "typewriter" pad thingy down there. (Can you tell I'm a pilot?) Letters and numbers veeeery dim at night, but I'll read the other replies.
Thanks about the taxi lights, and for the landing tip. I'll try...

Is it harder to land than the XP11 version? I'm having a hard time not "kerr-boong" on the runway. Three landings, three broken backs. I didn't use to break backs on 11, at least not that often.
-
One minor thing that may be an X-Plane rendering / material / polygons problem is that when you turn the cabin lights on, the cockpit gets illuminated even with the doors closed.
Another is the taxi light, which seems too dim from the cockpit. Is it like that in real life?
One more - backlight on some panels too low or non-existent.

I was having that. Took out some plugins from plugins folder, restarted sim, plane worked. Put them all back, restarted sim, and it's still working fine.

just tried it again after a reinstall still no throttle movement, never seen this before with any add on, so a bit stumped for ideas
I posted some posts ago that I took out some plugins (list there), and it worked, then I put them all back and it's still working. Don't know how that works, because I thought it was an incompatibility with one specific plugin, but it worked.

Wing lights also not working.
But what a joy to be flying this guy on 12.

Backlights on panels and FMC a bit low.

I discovered at the worst time that the wipers aren't working: Landing in the middle of a storm.
Me too. Taking off in rain ass not easy. Let's see if I crash at landing.

As I suspected, I put them all back and the plane is still working fine. Someone figures that one out. Take out plugins, put back plugins and that fixes it? I don't get it, but it's here as a feedback anyway. On to a flight!

Sorry for the dumb question, but where does that go? It's a folder "XPUIPC". Plugins?
I guess it is in the plugins folder. Trying that now.

FYI, you will need to downgrade to XPUIPC 2.0.4.7 to use the plane. feel free to download it from this post or there are other posts with the file if you google search.

On X-Aviation it still says "We have not yet released this product. Come back soon".

I meant an X-Plane update. Sorry for the bad manners, I was a frustrated and irritated by other things. I'll follow the suggestion from jmf55 above. Apologies.
