philipp Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 OSX 10.9 "Mavericks" brought some changes to the network stack that cause certain server functions to not work properly in some network setups.This can cause the CRJ-200 to be unable to start the remote CDU server, thus the plugin hanging in initialization state forever.Some users report it works again when re-loading the plane in X-Plane rather than starting X-plane up with the CRJ being the first plane.It seems to be largely correlating with users who did upgrade installations, and almost never a problem after a clean install.It is usually solved with a clean install and sane network setup with a router that behaves properly with multicast (not all home routers do, unfortunately).Mulitcast is a network feature used to discover the remote CDU over zeroconf/bonjour on Macs.As not all users want to perform a clean-install, which is admittedly some more work than an update, I provide the no-network CRJ as an interim solution to those who have trouble until they have the time for a clean-install and making sure their router is working properly.This patch only disables the remote-CDU feature of the plugin. All CRJ-internal functions continue to work just the same!Download this patch from here if you got the CRJ from X-Aviation.Do NOT download this patch if you got the CRJ from any other shop!!! For the X-plane.org version, go to their forum instead! The patch contains a replacement plugin for Mac and instructions how to install. Note that this problem does not occur on Windows and Linux, so the patch does not contain anything else! CRJ-200-nonetwork-patch-xaviation.zip
