Thanks for the update, but your installer is not working correctly.

It states that the XPlane's actual location is required, then goes directly to asking for my email. When I enter the email address it states: "You need to specify a value".

I entered a non-working email address to protect the innocent.

Your Windows OS text settings are set too high and pushing the installer text below the screen.

I've been a Windows user since 1982 and I've never had to 'Adjust my OS Text settings'.

Please explain and give me a little guidance.

Thanks

You clearly have something that has changed, because your text setting shown there is not default. New monitor?

I don't use Windows. Perhaps someone who does knows the better route to the setting, but your text is enlarged higher than 100%. You need to look for text size settings in your OS.

Perhaps here:

Windows will often default to 150% on high DPI monitors.

It worked, so thanks.

I've had a 4k monitor since 2016 and never had an issue before. ??

I have a few X-Aviation planes and assume they all need Gizmo. 

Will X-Aviation 'automatically' solve the Gizmo requirement as each is updated?

All is explained in the new installer.

No need to assume. The installer grabs your customer order history and presents you a list of YOUR products that still may require it. The list is curated in live time, so you should be able to deduce if you need it or not based on that.

Moved over from BN-2T page because I meant to post here: Thanks for your continued updates of the Islander! When I increase throttles to full, the engine sound that is played is very loud and almost sounds as if it is redlining and loosing its quality. Reducing the volume on my speaker doesn't make this go away - seems to be something specific to this aircraft. Thoughts on what I can do to reduce the harshness of the engine noise? Log attached
