Hi Baron, thanks for the kind words! To answer your questions: 1.) When we built the plane, there was no scroll wheel manipulation in X-Plane yet, that is why we didn´t implement it. It is on the list of things we plan to add. 2.) I don´t think the book will be offered on the XA store, but you can buy it from Mike Ray directly. We worked with him on making that book and it is indeed a good companion! 3.) I don´t own the Go Flight Panel, but others have used them as well, so if you have any questions, make sure to post them in the hardware forum and I am sure others may help you there! 4.) The ACTUAL CG of the aircraft is only shown on the "load and trim" tab that pops out of the left-hand screen. It also shows the correct stab trim setting for take-off. You can enter that one into the correct field on the FMC for the take-off values, and the (same) stab trim settings will show. The cruise CG is actually only a performance planning value for the FMC, it is not taken into account yet, and also real pilots will only enter it if the cruise CG is at an extreme (otherwise it´s influence on actual fuel burn is very small). Cheers, Jan

Ben is correct in that a Windows update can trigger this, I think. I recently had to re-register my laptop computer - it surprised me because I hadn´t changed anything hardware-wise, but other than that posed no problem. Cheers, Jan

I think (knowing Tom) that he is aware that -290 is below 0K. However, an application should not crash or show other weird behaviour, even if a user is putting in data (even using DRE, which IS a tool supported by Laminar) that makes no sense. Furthermore, I think that Tom´s discovery could help solve the "teleport to E46 bug" - so pointing out that -290 is not physically possible is beside the point. Its like making an addon plane that crashes to desktop if people bank it more than 30 degrees, and then saying "well, airliners shouldn´t bank more than 30 degrees, so don´t do it!" Jan

I can´t open your Log.txt for some reason - but if your X-Plane crashes it is usually a combination of plugins that is causing it. The normal troubleshooting sequence is to remove all plugins except for the ones needed to run the IXEG, then add them in one by one to see which one is causing the problem. Regular problems are flywithlua, xenviro, and any other plugins that alter art datarefs or such. You can also try to fly with the "show vortices" option disabled, that helped some people with crashes. Cheers, Jan

Friday. Jan

We definitely will - its pretty far up on the list of visual improvements planned! Cheers, Jan

Yeah, the wingtip vortices where a "borderline" feature that worked ok in XP10 but caused some headaches for some people. We considered removing the effect altogether, and might do so for a future update. Happy you got it to work ok for you, cheers, Jan

Hi t4murphy, this is usually due to some other 3rd party program altering "art controls", like to get certain environmental effects, changed hue, colouring, etc. It could also be due to outdated graphics drivers. To troubleshoot, please disable all other plugins, then add them back one by one to find the conflicting one. Thanks, Jan

Hi shabani, I don´t think the problem lies with x-aviation or that they can do anything about your sound problem. We have our own IXEG custom sound engine providing the 3D-sound for our add-on and there is a chance that a combination of sound chip/hardware properties and/or other add-ons could cause your problem. At this point it is unlikely that we can fix or help you with your problem, especially since you are the only one who has reported it. I am sorry that you have a degradation in sound quality, but we can not recreate the problem and therefore not fix it. Cheers, Jan

Thanks, Ben - I dare not to tinker too much with my router settings. I remember an unfortunate attempt a few years ago to open some specific ports and that went really not well at all. I prefer the "get the long LAN cable out of the basement and run a bypass" solution . Cheers, Jan

Update: Finally got it to work, and I am posting how here to help other people with the same problem and X-Aviation in troubleshooting the problem. This is how my computer is connected to the internet: 1.) The signal (DSL) enters the house and goes into a WLAN router. 2.) The line goes from the WLAN router into a second WLAN router (in my office), type Netgear WGT624. 3.) The line goes from the second router into my computer. This configuration did not work with the download. However, when I plugged my computer directly into the first router (bypassing the Netgear), things worked flawlessly. Off to some winter flying! Jan

By using a conversion table - and now look at that: It is mounted right in the cockpit for your convenience. Gee whiz! Jan

Update: Tried with the firewall off, seems I got a bit further this time - about halfway...

Hi Cameron, yes, I run the regular firewall that comes with Win10... I always get the message at the same "spot" in the download, when about 1/3rd through the first (of three) packages. Never had a problem with downloading from X-Aviation before, so this is somewhat puzzling... Cheers, Jan

Hi everyone, during the download I got this error several times - only "ignore" allowed me to get past it (see attached screenshot). Then, during an attempt to load seasons into X-Plane, I get an onscreen warning and this in my log.txt: 0:00:00.000 D/HID: HID Bridge Running 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | There was a problem loading the scenery package: 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | Custom Scenery/SeasonsXP/ 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | The scenery may not look correct. 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | Please see the Log.txt file for detailed error information. 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | (io_locate.cpp:394) 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:00.422 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/SeasonsXP/library.txt: 0:00:00.422 E/SCN: Incorrect version for scenery library file.
