Hardly fair for me to comment on OE as I mainly use WED being that I have most experience with that tool. I am using, as far as I know, the latest Blender version 2.69 which seems fine with XP2B 3.20.

The window issue does not occur with 10.11. Requirements state X-Plane 9.7 - 10.11+, no mention of 10.20

I also experienced the pitching issue with AP on, both at the upper speed range and also on final approach, since using Stefan's revised settings I have had no further issues at upper and lower speeds. Preference removal had no effect with solving the problem. To date I have not noticed any obvious side affects. Thanks to all who have contributed.

Thanks again Cameron for your support and useful to know about the licence integrity check. Ben's blog today suggested that 64-bit may be on its way!

Cameron Thanks for the reply which I found very interesting, but can you tell me what systems Gizmo is required for, as without it the aircraft seems to perform without any problems. I must admit that I have not tried operating from cold and dark yet but have done several successful flights of about one and a half hours duration using the programmed FMC anf ILS, without sim crashes. Also since removing Gizmo have not had one display failure on sim start with the CRJ Please don't think I am doubting your knowledge and experience on this subject but am baffled as to why removing Gizmo seems to get around the problem, for me anyway. I thought that memory exhaustion caused sim crashes and certainly before updating my system had experienced this with other aircraft and situations, which has not been the case with the new system. I will try re-installing Gizmo and see what the effect is. As previously mentioned I have found that on re-installation of Gizmo the displays continue to operate after two or three sim starts then fail. As I have said please don't think there is any criticism intended in my reply, just curiosity, as I have learned to live with the, now minor problem. I will be interested to see what happens with 64 bit X-Plane so I can fully utilise my PC. John

I had the same problem with vanishing displays. I have a similar spec PC except with 560 GPU (Windows 7) and as per advice in various forums, reduced resolution etc. with no success. I eventually found that by removing the Gizmo plugin the displays returned even with all settings turned up. I originally moved Gizmo to the root directory of the sim, in this case 10.10RC3, but then lost the displays again after 2 or 3 sim starts. I then removed Gizmo completely from X-plane and displays returned. I have found though that If I change aircraft whilst the sim is running then return to the CRJ the displays are lost (without Gizmo loaded). Re-starting the sim restores the displays??? I have not yet found a fully repeatable set of circumstances to prove the root cause, mainly because it takes so long to make step by step changes with continuous sim starts. However I have learnt to live with it. If anyone can give a definitive answer I would be very interested. JohnMD
