This IS the issue. The Main Menu popout can cause issues for multi-monitors and VR users....but I should have it show by default, MY BAD, I'm sorry.....how to correct.... You can access the Settings/Pref GUI via X-Plane's own menu as shown below OR....by the new commands I provided HERE. (See ADDED section) Plugins > Gizmo64 > Windows > IXEG 737 Classic. From there, select the preference panel and UNCHECK the box that says "Disable Main menu Popout"....from there you should be good with the Main Menu Popout. So sorry folks. TK

I completely override X-Plane's fuel transfer, so the transfers you describe are happening "in my plugin"..i.e. "from tank 1 to 3. What is SUPPOSED to happen....is "plugins get the last say". In other words, when X-Plane has its own logic for fuel transfer and then writes to a dataref...then us plugins get the opportunity to write and our values are supposed to be final. ..but clearly X-Plane is writing to the m_fuel datarefs also. This is the essence of our challenge with plugin programming, always 'fighting' with X-Plane as to who has the better logic and gets control. BUT....I did talk to a Laminar rep and we don't believe the base fuel transfer model to have been "redesigned"...maybe tweaked, but not overhauled...so I've filed a bug. -TK

It may be worthwhile for this plane, to have a pop up that reminds people to back up there navdata before continuing, at least until the FMS upgraded to xp12 format

The installer was changed about 6 hours ago for updating of some files. This is what I meant by out of date.

I guess tangentially, the installer is a part of the IXEG 733. However, I considered this thread to be directly about the add-on. Nevertheless, the guys here are great, and I sure they would not have minded the slight tangent without my apology.

Hi @Bulva...yes, this GUI is a "patch" for the majority of non-VR users and I'm sorry you VR guys are getting 'hit'. Laminar is aware. There is much retooling going on under the hood still with regards to graphics and I am certainly retooling with VR in mind. It will be a while as the retool has implications with future projects, but I'm not going anywhere. Just curious though...does X-Plane's "UI scaling" settig change anything in VR? -TK

We are updating the installer for the missing pref file from here: https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/27471-update-152-popout-window-issue/?do=findComment&comment=197104 Check back shortly and it should be live again.

The update installer will handle the uninstall and upgrade install process for you.

Jepp, it's broken. Doing a Flight with max Fuel Capacity in all Tanks. Starting the Engines with Main Only, then switching to Auto and watching the Fuel Indicators in Flight. Tip Tanks are draining and Main is raising up. Tip Tanks reaching the Level from the Outer Tanks and now both Systems are Draining. Main still raising up. Tip and Outer Tanks running Dry and the Engines are out. Switching Auto Fuel System Off and Restarting the Engines didn't work because Main Tank is not used. Next Test. Only Fuel in Main. Auto Fuel System Off, Outer and Tip Tanks with no Fuel. Starting the Engines did work but after a Minute, they Shut Down. Main Tank is not used for Feeding the Engines, only the Wing Tanks, but the Wing Tanks still feed up the Main Tank over the Limit. Next. Fuel in Main and Outer, but not in Tip. Auto Fuel System Off. Engines Running, feed from Outer, Main is not raising up. Waiting until the Level is about 100 lbs in the Outer Tanks. Now adding Fuel to the Tips. Auto Fuel System still Off. Fuel Level in the Tips is now Draining but no Feeding to the Outer or the Main. Tip Tank is reaching the Level from the Outer Tank and now the Level off both Systems is draining again. Filling up the Tip again and now Auto Fuel System to Auto: Main Tank is filled up very quick (was at 600 lbs) until its normal Full Level is reached, then the Filling Rate slows down but the Main is still feeding with Fuel. Tip is loosing Level at the same Rate (First quick than slow), Outer is not filled up. Not with Auto Fuel System ON or OFF. It looses Level when the Tip Tanks are reaching the same Level.

Ok i found what is the problem, in preference menu , option "Disable main menu pop-out" is activated by default.

Please download the attached file and place it in the root IXEG aircraft folder. See if that resolves the issue! 733_TK_IXEG_prefs.txt

Ha! Well that doesn't seem right. I'll get that looked at.
