Gizmo Plugin not found

[sylveon]

When starting the challenger, and entering the FBO, I get a warning that says that the gizmo plugin wasn't found.

Mac user? Apple Silicon? Use Rosetta. If not, post your Log.txt from X-Plane.

Getting the same message on entering FBO.  CL-650.  Fresh install on Windows 10. Reinstalled the plane 3 times. 3rd was a new download from site. 

 

Log attached.

That did the trick...thanks!  Funny thing is, I still don't see Gizmo64 in the plugins.  I guess that's why I get paid to fly them, not program them.

Hello, @Ben Russell.  Any ETA on porting Gizmo64 to macOS-arm native?  It's the only plugin forcing me to use Rosetta.

Another suggestion while I'm at it.  I'm not sure if this is a Gizmo choice or an X-Aviation one, but might you consider making license checks less aggressive?  Every 2 weeks seems unnecessary to me.  License checks could happen on first activation and subsequently on updates (not update checks, but actual updates).

OK.  Reading a little more, looks like Gizmo is just a general purpose Lua integration plugin, and it looks like the license stuff is done by Gizmo only because that's how X-Aviation has implemented it.  Please disregard my comments re: license activation.

I just opened x-plane 12 and tried to open Hot Start 650 but got the "please reinstall aircraft/Gizmo64" warning too.

I tried reinstalling Hot Start 650 3 times with the same error showing up again.

I am using an Apple M3 iMac that I just purchased.  Any ideas for this problem?

Use Rosetta for XP.

I went to terminal and entered "softwareupdate - - install-rosetta" and then reinstalled Hot start 650 and got same warning saying it can't find Gizmo64.

Hot Start 650 worked great on my M2 iMac so what's the problem?

As explained on this thread, do this on the X-Plane executable.
