ummmmmm...

Yes. The flickering occurs every time I load the Saab 340. I'm using the newest NVIDIA drivers.

The rear cockpit Dome lights are flickering at a high rate and very randomly. This is at night. The two lights at the very rear of the cockpit that emit light on the ceiling and rear overhead panel. Specs: X-Plane 10.25 64-bit Windows 8.1 64-bit Saab 340A Passenger v1.1 Gizmo (latest the comes with v1.1 installer) Graphic setting: Extreme Shadows: 3-D on aircraft Reflections: advanced HDR: Enabled Per-pixel lighting: yes 3-D bumpmaps: yes antianalyzing: yes GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Gizmo and Log.txt logs attached.

Alright, I feel pretty dumb along with some of the others here but what wasn't happening was my entering the "from" waypoint/setting it to current plane's position. It worked after I did that step with UFMC and updated fix and awy files updated.

I would like to add that the min-gps does not work for me either. Same issue as OP reported (enter fix and nothing happens, just stays at 0.00 for all). My Specs: X-Plane 10.25 64-bit Windows 8.1 64-bit Saab 340A Passenger Version v1.1 Latest version of Gizmo that comes with v1.1 installer I have removed Javier's UFMC plugin system and it still did not function. I also restored to default earth_awy.dat and earth_fix.dat that comes with X-Plane installers from Javier's AIRAC updater program and it still did not function. Maybe we can look into this more? Attached are my Gizmo log and Log.txt. Ignore all the scenery errors in my Log.txt. GizmoLog.txt Log.txt

I loved his Diamond DA-42 Twin though. His implantation of the G-1000 was top notch with the new updates added to V. 1.2. This Panthera feels a bit recycled though with this avionics and, for sure, does not have that "Cerenado quality" GA plane vibe either... Hence I'll hold off on that purchase and see what this version has in store. I got all the time in the world now haha

Yes you are correct. I am using Gizmo64 14.01.16.0253

Thank you for the additional advice on this topic. I understand the "heavy hitters" and how they could affect load speed transitions. I am just hoping there is room for improvement on these transitions as far as the code in SkyMaxx Pro goes As for the second bug I have reported, I really believe this is caused while scenery is being loaded in the background during flight (most likely heavy scenery like mountains and orthophoto scenery) and there is a weather transition (such as no clouds to lots of clouds, etc). I also use XsquawkBox and sometimes NOAA Weather Plug-in with SkyMaxx Pro but I have been able to narrow down these bugs to just SkyMaxx Pro. Here are some addition stats: X-Plane 10.25 (64-bit) Windows 8.1 64-bit Gizmo (Rev. 1/15/14) XSquawkBox 1.2b NOAA Weather Plugin 1.5.9 X-Plane Textures: ExtremeRes! HDR On Overlay Shadows Advanced Reflections

I've been using SkyMaxx Pro since introduction and a few things I have noticed: 1) When SkyMaxx Pro is updating weather from default METAR or XSquawkbox or NOAA weather plug-in, the simulator will pause for 1-2 seconds and drastically shift the roll/velocity of the plane in question. This sometimes causes issues for a plane's AP and will disconnect it on occasion. 2) I sometimes stumble on a weird bug where all the scenery on x-plane will disappear when the weather updates. Only the clouds and sky are visible (the sky curves around the plane replacing the ground since the ground is not there). To fix this, I have to change the view to a ground tower/airport view to get the ground textures back. Anyone else experiencing these issues so far?

Sorry about that! I'll post the answer here as well for people looking up the solution via x-plane.org: JRollon said: "well.. as said in the manual the APR is for capturing also the Glideslope while VORApr only is for VOR approximation.... The plane should go down when capturing a G/S... of course with the right speed, the right altitude and the right ILS tunned. Could you try in other airport to see if it is capturing the GS? Remember to capture the GS from below the beam, not above it. Didn't hear about this problem before." cessna729 said: "Please try and review the ILS tutorial on this site, then give it a go. If you still have problems, check that you are correctly tuned to the correct ILS Freq and have ID'd it. (sometimes X-Planes navdata can have the wrong freq or the GS is not matched to the LOC, see Robins Site for new 1311 X-Plane data)."

I was just wondering what the difference is between the "APR" and "VORAPR" is. I'm looking to do a full ILS landing with both lateral and vertical guidance. I have noticed I can't have the Nav and Apr button pushed at the same time so which one of these buttons would that be for both? ALSO when I push either/or the "APR"/"VORAPR", both of the AP bugs say "CAP" but they do not move the plane up or down. It doesn't modify the yaw or pitch at all, thus leading to no change in vertical navigation. Before capturing the VOR/ILS glideslope, I'm using ALT HOLD and the NAV locked onto the ILS frequency of the runway.
