It looks like it was clipping through the aircraft but don't know if that was the problem. It was the 'middle' one of the three in that area.

Edit:

Weirdly it showed up at the end of manual fuelling.

Hello All,

This will serve as an official announcement that we have released update version 1.9 for the CL650. All customers who have purchased the CL650 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the CL650 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.9 for you.

What if I didn't get the update e-mail?

If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do:

1. Login to your X-Aviation account here:  https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php
 
2. Find your original Challenger 650 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version!

The following is a list of additions/fixes included:

X-Plane Log.txt shows the following lines after clicking "Login":

X-Aviation Activation (login_window.cpp.96): Login Pressed. Do Logic
X-Aviation Activation (url_builder.cpp.54): Transaction ID: FL6g2EECrH
X-Aviation Activation (drm_system.cpp.264): ERROR A: [Unable to read response from server.]

I've tried running X-Plane with "OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null" variable without any success with the activation. 

there seems to be an issue with the fonts on Mac, see attached picture. I'm running latest MacOS 26.3.1 (a), X-Plane 12.4.2 Beta. This is the only section I've seen it, all other text looks good.

When I am seated in the cockpit, APU running, all the screens (MFD, PFD, CDU, etc) are blank. I can click on them to see that they are actually on, but they don't show up in the overall cockpit view. 

My XPlane 12 install is from Steam (v12.4.2) and the recently-purchased Hotstart 650 is v1.9.

Any ideas?

Now when I turn the battery on,  the glass cockpit (MFD & PFD) does not come on. The APU won't start either. 

Also, when I use the camera by right clicking the mouse and move around, the image stops, stutters, then finally moves on. A myriad of issues with these updates. Don't know where to start. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled both X-plane and Cl650 twice now. No change. 

How do I find the log files that folks ask for? The one log file I saw is huge text file. Is that the one?

Log.txt

at first a very big thank you towards Hotstart for providing us with an update for this fantastic jet 

However when updating to v1.9, I ran into an issue which seems to be caused by the Windows Smart App Control. At first the installer was not able to run the uninstaller for v1.8 as  it was blocked by the Smart App control. After deactivating this smart  feature in windows, I was able to uninstall v1.8 and install v1.9.

When loading the Challenger in XP12 however, I found myself directly inside the cockpit (not in the FBO), got an popup error massage regarding a "sound bar issue" and when switching to the outside view, the FBO was sitting literally on top of the challenger. So we know this from other addon planes, when loading is not proper due to missing licence informations, e.g. when loading for the first time.

It then turned out, that with having the Smart App Control deactived in Windows, the Challenger loaded porperly, I started in the FBO and everything works normal. Re-activating Smart App Control and restarting XP12, I unfortunately got the loading issues back.

I guess this might also be the cause for other reported loading issues in v1.9....

Best regards

Thomas

I bought the Challenger a few weeks ago. To be exact at Friday 03 April. I just downloaded the 1.9 Release. When i entered the FBO i had two Login Screens for the activation. I entered my correct Credentials. I restarted X-Plane once, because i forgot Map Enhancement. The first screen with the Login was still there. I entered my credentials once more, and it told me "Account banned"? How can something like this happen? I didnt do nothing. It worked 5 minutes earlier. Can someone of the support team unban me and tell me why this happend?

Kind Regards

I noticed this small error a while ago but have never reported it. Chances are you already know. If you hover the outer selector on the CRS knob it says barometer.

I bought the Hotstart Challenger yesterday, and I now have a problem loading the plane. I already understand what happens: When I load the Challenger with the whole FBO mode on, and X-Camera is enabled, it crashes. When I remove X-Camera from my plugin folder, it works fine. 

Now I don't know how to procede because x-camera is always enabled by default it seems. Even if I load into non-persistance mode, disable x-camera, and then reload the aircraft to go to the FBO, x-camera enables itself and I get the crash. 

What can I do? I can't seem to be able to disable x-camera in x-plane 12 main menu, before I go to the FBO. Obviously not using x-camera is an option, but I'd like to use it.

Thanks for all the help.

Would someone be willing to share an active invite to the discord server?
