  1. In X-Plane there are 2 types of actions and 2 "amounts of force". Toggle is for the action of switching brakes on/off. This is useful to be used for Parking brake. Hold action is to simulate pressing the brakes. The amount of force applied has to stages. Regular and Maximum. When you use Regular force, then the amount X-Plane applies, is something less than 40% of the total force. Maximum=100%. The toggle/hold modes is how you apply those forces. I have strengthen up the "hold/regular" to provide 65% of braking force, which seems is not working on with "toggle". Taxiing with high RPMs (condition levers to full) will require braking to keep the speed under control. Better use "hold" instead of "toggle". When you want to stop completely, apply full force buy hold-maximum or toggle maximum. For the later you can use the Parking Handle in the cockpit, Personally I have 3 buttons for braking. 1 for normal braking (hold-regular), 1 for braking to stop (hold-max) and one to set the parking brake (toggle-max).
  2. What command are you using for brakes? Hold or toggle? Regular or maximum?
  3. Thanks I will have a look. For now please do a test for me. Unzip and replace the scripts folder. This should work correctly now. scripts.zip
  4. It's a rounding error. Wasn't happened on Mac, so I was not aware. I've fixed it and soon I will upload the new scripts. Reflections, at least for now, cannot be turned down, except if you want to edit a file. It is in objects folder, called displays.obj. Open with a text editor and change GLOBAL_specular to something smaller (ie. 0.2). There are not flaps/gears sound yet. The FMOD for now is very basic and needs a ton of work yet. You can just move the file out of the aircraft folder, and the old sounds will come back.
  5. Also I am in Mac, which I've notice the mouse operations are more smooth than windows. Anyway, in the next update I will increase the distance you have to drag the mouse to change value, which should work better. Keep in mind that you can also use your mouse wheel, which should work smoother. Rounding Error! Fixed.
  6. Sort answer no. Longer one...You need to have Gizmo plugin for Linux. Was available few months ago, but now, due to the lack of interest from Linux users, Gizmo is not support Linux any more. If you have the plugin, then you can use wine to install the plane.
  7. I do understand what you mean by that. Could you please give me an example.
  8. You don't need to do that. Just close the window.
  9. Not as should work. Will engage the autothrottles (which is not realistic...I'm getting ready a report on that). You might use it if you want, but first make sure that you have entered in the FMC (VNAV) logical values for the Avanti, otherwise will try to accelerate to 300KIAS! You can use FLC or VS modes, and I have added an Altitude Intercept Arc in the MFD map, to show you where you are going to reach your target altitude, so you can adjust your rate of descent.
  10. You should thank @Cameron. He's the one, although Saturday, worked to made this possible!
  11. @marpilot @jatar Please try again now. Problem fixed. I just installed the plane myself successfully.
  12. We are looking into this. Windows version?
  13. No. That's an old one and is not going to work.
  14. The file is pending for authorization. Try a bit later.
  15. v 2.1.0 is now available. Grab it! (Keep in mind that is not currently working with the 11.20.VR1. We expect to be fixed with the next X-Plane update)
  16. Happy New Year to all! Despite the last "slow" month due to the festivities (and some time I got off to update the Avanti), development continues strong at all fronts! We are making this plane as detailed as possible, and we have a lot of work ahead, but with our energy restored to full, we will step up the pace! Beyond the 3D modelling/textures/materials, we are working a lot with the flight model of the aircraft. At this point our Flight Dynamics guy have done his magic(!), and we are well above 90% of matching the real aircraft's performance! Although we can call it done (many aircrafts in the market are not even close to that number), we are pushing further. We have established a "hotline" with Austin and we are exchanging data, not only to improve our aircraft's flight model, but also X-Plane simulation in total. Best wishes for the 2018!
  17. Thanks a lot for your kind words! Avanti is a child of love, that I enjoy to work with. But also serves a purpose too. Helps me to test things in an operational aircraft that I have full access, things that will be transfered to my payware projects, like the DC9. Make sure that you have pressed the NAV REF button, until FMS appears in the displays. That makes FMS the active nav source, and the plane should follow the flight plan.
  18. Those things are fixed in the upcoming update. You can use mouse scroll wheel also for fine adjustment. The step is every 100 ft.
  19. Just saw that. You just close the login window and everything will work fine.
  20. Just close the window and everything will work fine. Maybe it is a small annoyance, but I hope that the aircraft redeems that! And this is only the "initial" Gizmo-ed version. This version was just to wrap up to make the plane work, rather a complete one. A newer version is ready to be released in the next days, with many improvements. If you have any more question, feel free to use the dedicated support forum, here (check the upcoming updates too!):
  21. It is ready. Waiting for the installers to be ready. Please be a bit patient, due to those days (Christmas, etc.).
