Thank you very much for another much needed update ;-)
Personally, I would especially like to thank you for the command to connect/disconnect the GPU ;-)

PS. Is there a /dataref command (for IXEG) for "a single" downward movement of the LANDING GEAR lever???
The standard XP commands (Gear Up/Dn) only allow you to move the landing gear lever to the two extreme positions, and I would like to be able (using the /dataref command) to lower the lever from the UP position to the OFF position.

No need for big text. If you read other posts here, you would know its entered in using xplane menu at present. Load menu needs to be updated and checked for xp12. Dont forget to note the xplane cg you will need it for the FMS

No es necesario un texto grande. Si lees otras publicaciones aquí, sabrás que actualmente se ingresa usando el menú xplane. El menú de carga debe actualizarse y comprobarse para xp12. No olvides anotar el xplane cg, lo necesitarás para el FMS.

 

Sorry for the size of the text, it was by default, I don't understand what you mean by writing down the xplane cg...

Use the X-Plane default weight and balance screen to set weights and fuel.

[Meg4Volt]

[Litjan]

Is it advisable to uninstall the previous version first or just download and run the updated installer over the top?

On top is also possible, the installer will prompt you to remove the old version before installing the new one

It's essential to carefully read and follow the guidance provided in our support ticket responses. The solution to your problem has already been provided in a previous communication. Please revisit those instructions.

[dkdomino]

After updating to version 1.5.1, something strange happened to the write on MCP. The inscriptions are almost invisible.

It was like this before the update (you can see the subtitles here)

 

Now it's like this

Thx.  will try and retune.  We had a bug report that the MCP was too dim at night....and the day/night behavior of X-Plane's LIT texturing system is like a see-saw (teeter-totter) where trying to get both day/night texturing looking good is a non-stop battle.  I'll keep at it.  Thx for reporting.

I'm curious. When you run the installer, do you click yes to remove the previous install? You should do this action if you haven't. I had the Level 2 failed also but all is fine after the installing the update that had the fix.

No. You need to differentiate between an update email and our support ticket system. You opened a support ticket with us, and specific steps and requests were made to help diagnose your issue. Please revisit the support ticket where you'll find the guidance based on the log file you sent. The problem has been identified on your computer and is not an issue with the IXEG software itself. Please follow the instructions provided in the support ticket response for resolution. Search your e-mail for 8J1WH.

The version which works is XPUIPC Version 2.0.4.7 64 bit. The latest one you can find is 2.0.5.9 but this version interferes with the throttle axis. You can download it in another thread on this forum or google it as several sites still offer the Zip file.

For example see here: XPUIPC - VASystem where you can get both versions.
