I found that the MU-2 GLASS (+ G500) needs BOTH the Gizmo and the X-Aviation DRM plugins installed / enabled. I use xOrganizer and had the X-Aviation plugin disabled (as the MU-2 is Gizmo still). In that case there is no error message, but the G500 simply stays dark. So, reinstall of course installs fresh (and "enabled") copies of those plugins, but it should not be needed if you just make sure both Gizmo and X-Aviation plugins are enabled at runtime.

zzz....oh man...just woke up after a 18 month hibernation! Seriously....Nothing is forgotten, only life has happened. Here's a quick summary: Spent last 18-24 months in a significant life transition as I approach and prepare for retirement. Lots of loose ends to tie up and leave in the past. I now work full time for Laminar, a big change...and I have been positioning myself to stay in X-Plane work exclusively for the future. I'm wrapping up a 2-year private contract for the BETA ALIA production aircraft (which will be in X-Plane). I'll complete that work next month. Gizmo based code in all my products is nearing end of life and had complicated the update process due to the volume of code to rewrite......however AI has enabled a path to relearn concepts & rewrite the code as its become "X-Plane SDK aware" in the last year...This reduces the effort drastically and is a major catalyst. No fees for future updates on the MU2 or IXEG when they eventually go out. Updates will always be free for existing customers. They've earned that. After ALIA delivery, I'll return to push an update to the MU2 with the Gizmo code-base....I won't get OCD....I'll just push what I have, which is a good amount. After MU2 update, I begin code rewrites to serve as my future code platform for the MU2, IXEG and the forth-coming 717. This is foundational and absolutely required to guarantee long term compatibility for these products. Those aircraft will be the only three products I will maintain into retirement and beyond. That's the highlights. This gap in work has been all about my focus and preparation to sustain myself after retirement, and stay within the X-Plane ecosphere in the process.

Model is finished. Textures are finished. Saso is doing his best to take care of minor issues with the 650, one of which is getting the weather radar added to it. Once he finishes those, he'll send me a new TBM build so I can start initial testing in X-Plane 12 with animations and making sure textures look good. To sum up, as of this post, all artwork is considered done.

Apologies for the late reply. I'm working on a large update for the DC3. I'll make a note of this and address it.
