Hey no argument here and I wasn't being nitpicky or unappreciative of this fantastic freeware. But it's a little annoying that I have to close Gizmo64 everytime I use X-Plane even though I have no planes that require authentication. Now if Gizmo64 actually has the ability to not prompt for user/password everytime that would be fantastic

Noted. But no promises.

Currently no, because I'm planning in the future to redo the whole 3D from scratch. If I find some time in the next days, I might do something for the current layout.

Thank you for your answer, I'm waiting for

I'm getting poor fps in the cockpit less than 20

If this is a problem, then the description is too vague to help you. Post your machine specs, settings, when this is happening, etc. In comparison, runs a bit better than Laminar's 738 with Zibo mod.

Hello,

I justy made a fly and used VNAV for the descent and it perfectly worked. Just some strange noise (a click) about 2 per second until target altitude.

I just missed the ILS approach I don't know why. It was locked on the locator and suddendly turn left, right, left,etc... and missing the GS.

I went back and retried and it was ok ... strange.

Something strange alos when we set the target climb altitude on floor. if it's the cruise altitude, the value jumps from cz alt - 600 to cz atl + 400.

Is it an expected behavior?

VNAV system for now is what X-Plane is giving by default. I'm 99% sure that X-Plane uses vertical speed dial to control the rate of descend, when in VNAV mode. Through FMOD, a click sound it is attached to the VS wheel, so that might be the source of the sound.

I had no such experience so far, and currently I'm "travelling" the world with Avanti with IVAO IFR World Tour, to find out any problems that need fixing. But, there are a few loose threads around that need fixing. I have in mind a couple of situations that the AP modes annunciator are not correct. Also the symbology between flying a RNAV approach and an ILS approach are the same now (wrong), and will be differentiated in the next update(s).

Have you seen that?

 

Great Aircraft but its unflyable in the cockpit 17fps the most 30s on the outside Is there a version with lower textures?

It look amazing from inside !!!! Any plans for VR support ?

I hope I can fly it one day ...

Performance in general is a result of many factors. To understand why you get  low fps, please post a screenshot with the fps counter at lower fps, settings, and yours machine specs. In my low end i5-4440/GTX760 @1080p, I get a slightly better performance when compared to zibo 738.

Yes...but in the future, without setting any specific date.

That's cool !!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

just updated from 2.1 and  noticed lack of many sounds:

roll, gear up/down, flaps....

Pretty strange , isn't it?

All sliders max.

OK, deleted FMOD folder.

Fixed.

Another thing: is it possible to see the flight plan on the map?

 

My sounds work well. I see that at more than 300 IAS, the speed indicator is reset to zero. It can be fixed?.
Thanks for keeping this aircraft, airfighter.

I will have a look at it. 

This is a great addon and I hope you will be continuing with this project!

Thanks for the update push, absolutely love flying this in XP11.

Has anyone installed this on Steam for Mac? I can't point the installer to the user library folder (where the Steam folder is contained). Any tips on how to install the Avanti II???

Have you finally manage to install it? 

Hello and thank you for this bird

In the last version, throttle doesn't move with my Hotas Warthog. Only with the mouse. Is it the VR ? May I desactivate it and how or may I use an older version ?

Thank you

I'm assuming that you have mapped your thrittles to Throttle 1 and 2 respectively, and rightfully you did so.

I didn't see coming, since I have 1 throttle, which works fine, mapped on the Throttle command (still only for the forward part, reverse thrust can be achieved only with mouse).

The solution for now  is:

1. Duplicate your joystick profile and named it Avanti and assign it only to Avanti.
2. Map one of your throttles to "Throttle" command (at the very top on the list).
3. Now you will control both power levers with the one throttle.'
4. Go to: https://bitbucket.org/iliastselios/p180_avanti/issues?status=new&status=open and create a new issue, with all possible details. If it not their, there is a possibility to miss it when I work again on Avanti.

I know that is not the proper way, but because of the extreme customization, and the effort to be as much compatible with everything exists, unforeseen things will occur.

Thanks you for bring it up, cause is valuable lesson for me to have it in mind, ahead of my payware projects.

Looks amazing. Wish I could fly it but I can't manage more than 2 fps with it. Managing up to 50 fps with the C172?

I have the same issue. Also the displays do not seem to be working if you turn them on/off then reload the aircraft for me.

I've scrolled through the entire thread before posting and could not find any mention on the inability to reverse thrust using "toggle thrust reversers key". i tried assigning multiple keyboard commands without luck. IF however I click and drag the throttles move to reverse BUT then its difficult to put it back to idle which causes the plane to veer off the runway. If no one is experiencing this then its on my end.

It is a known problem and will be fixed in the next release.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the throttle window popup whenever there is a change in thrust?  Thanks in advance.
