mesophyte 3 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Any idea what could be causing this error (during an activation attempt)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rename the file: X-Plane / Resources / plugins / Gizmo64.plugin / firmware / assets / ca_store / _cacert.pem to cacert.pem And it should work. This bug happens for a very small % of users. Not sure what the root cause is yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would never have occurred to me to try that It's a "plan b" built into the plugin. I'd like to figure out why the bug happens at all but we also understand that customers need a working plugin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as we get it out prior to expiration I think people can handle a 2 minute install just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as we get it out prior to expiration I think people can handle a 2 minute install just fine. I'm sure "people can handle it", but it's not awesome user experience. At least I want to keep my installation in an instantly flyable condition at all times, and I may not use it every day. Last-minute updates make that impossible - and worse, people may not notice / remember it's due for an update prior to launching the sim, so it's not just the 2-minute installation but also an XP restart that can take far longer. Just a suggestion - feel free to ignore it I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 3,175 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 What good does a longer expiration period do if we don't release the next one till two days before the extended time either? Your logic just doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your logic just doesn't make any sense. *sigh* The idea was to have a longer gap between expiration and new release. Two ways of going about it: 1) Maintain development cycles, extend expiration periods. 2) Release new versions sooner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 3,175 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 We release when we feel we are stable or dependent on feedback. Sorry if you're not satisfied. Sounds like the beta option should be something you avoid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like the beta option should be something you avoid! There really is no need to be so testy with this. It was a simple enough suggestion, and a practice that is followed by most other developers across many different pieces of software. Having tight beta expiration time frames also puts unnecessary pressure on releasing the next beta, possibly before it otherwise would have. I agree releases should happen when they're stable, so that's the right thing to do - what I'm suggesting would allow you to do that better. And it would also get pesky users like me off your back, hey You could've just said "Thanks for the suggestion, we'll take it under consideration" and then do nothing if that's what you felt like.
