Gizmo 11.5.18 Update

[Ben Russell 1,008]

Gizmo 11.5.18 is now available for Mac, Windows and Linux computers with x86 CPUs.

Change log is here:

Download 11.5.18 - x86 Mac/Win/Lin

Note: This build has a more irritating nag-message than previous versions.

After 60 seconds using a Gizmo-enhanced aircraft the "register me" box appears and cannot be dismissed.

You can move it to the edge of the screen or you can register.

The watermark is also display for unregistered copies.

At some point a balance will be found between registrations, donations, and freeloaders, we're not there yet.

Everything else in life costs.

The main intention with this release is to check two things;

1 - Is OpenAL fixed yet?

2 - Does the linux plugin work?

[Ben Russell 1,008]

Just to be clear: I think the nagware in 11.5.18 is too annoying and unfair on content authors/artists that have put time and effort into using Gizmo without it being some kind of "tax".

The next build will change again;

- After some time using the aircraft the dialog will appear.

- After a delay you will be able to click "dismiss" and ignore the nag.

This reverts to encouragement instead of enforcement. I do need it to be annoying though.

Thank you for the linux build!

Going to check it later today.

Still sound scrambled/CTD with EADT's GPS utilizing SASL.  Same testing method as before.  GPS works fine without gizmo installed, sound goes crazy with eventual crash with gizmo installed.

Hi Ben,

Gizmo would not load in Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit

this is what I got from the log

Loaded: /media/STORAGE/X-Plane 9/Resources/plugins/PluginAdmin/lin.xpl.

It is a fresh ubuntu installation , so I might have forgotten some key piece...

I get a CTD if I click on the TCAS2 beta gauge.

Windows 7 32x

X-Plane 9.69

Everything else works great though, thanks!

Ok, that's just weird.

Off the top of my head that gauge is very boring as far as code goes.

Welcome.

There is a known bug in 11.5.18 where it's not respecting serial numbers properly. Apologies. I've fixed this for the next release.
