I am so happy to see the dust being kicked off the tires of this add-on. The original was one of my first purchases years ago for X-Plane. A lot has changed since then, I'm a captain at a regional and interviewing to go a mainline carrier, and what do I see come back from my early times of training but this great add-on making a comeback! It looks great and I can't wait to add this one back to my library of aircraft to have fun flying in the sim!

@caribbeanlegend - I am guessing you are using a moderately powered pc? I had a similar issue a while back and it was related to my laptop. The aircraft was the Carenado PC-12. Whenever I would reach cruise altitude it would begin to violently shake and eventually exceed limits. Go to "Operations and Warnings" and change "Flight Model" to two or more. Solved my issue with the PC-12. Turbulence has been an issue too though. Hope that helps.

@temkhabana - did you ever resolve your issue? If not are you using -Windows 10 or older? -Powered external USB hub, yoke hub, or usb port on computer? -Are you using Saitek.com drivers or the "sparker" plugin? If using both problems will occur.

Thank you, looking forward to flying it soon!

did you find a solution? In the past I had issues with anti virus software stopping installs.

@WattyA - I've had the same issue. The single core usage is the limiting factor here. I'm running i7-8500 with a Nvidia GTX 1080 and still see drops in performance with the Carenado aircraft. Check out this link, it helped me in changing a few settings around. http://developer.x-plane.com/2011/12/tips-for-better-frame-rates-pt-1/ It is a shame that some of the Carenado aircraft cause such a large fps drop. If you don't mind me asking what are you averaging for the IXEG? That is my next purchase.

Thank you Cameron!

I am having to re-install software after a HDD format and received this message, WS.Reputation.1 threat and Norton decided to remove the file. It believes the setup-windows.exe is a threat due to lack of community use. Wanted to make sure there were no other issues with the installer or other installers. Some of the other aviation sites that I use have had issues with hacking in the last year and wanted to verify with you all first that everything is as it should be. There looks to be a link for a process to have the file approved. Not sure how much time that takes or costs.

Just to make sure but are you sure it is not P-Factor you are experiencing? I know in MSFS X you can turn P-Factor off. If it is not P-Factor check the yoke calibration settings in windows to make sure it is centering correctly. If not you might have a bad yoke. All Saitek products come with a 2 year warranty.

Some were but were not planned for consumer release. At this time it seems that CJS is on a bit of a break. The CF-104 is still awaiting update due to flight dynamics in X-Plane and supersonic cruise modeling. It takes a lot of time and money for that combat plugin to come together properly. I would expect CJS to release it out of the blue vs talking about it much if they do. Note: I am in now way affiliated with CJS so all of this is my opinion from watching CJS over the past near decade.

"Fix," is just meant as a solution to the issue you were describing. My plan was to dissect the Switch Panel plug in for X-Plane and try to implement something from that. I however have not had the time to try that hypothesis. I think you are on the correct path though.

Anything new I can talk about while I am working Oshkosh? Always looking for great new products to pull folks over to the X-Plane side.

If I understand the product correctly they only work as an off/on switch. At least that is how Windows recognizes them. I will check them this week. I demo those products for Saitek at Sun N Fun and Oshkosh and if I come across a fix I will let you know.
