No sooner asked for..........

Wow! Although not mentioned, the flickering of the GNS430s is gone, and one or both now pop out or back flawlessly, which I found a problem before. Also, on my iMac, it doesn't seem to be hammering my CPU like before. The core temperatures seem to be lower. Wonderful. I hope Coop and co. can do these fixes to the SR20 Entegras too. Thanks a million!

I don't think I have another developer's plane doing this. I don't remember seeing it before. It doesn't happen with your Mooneys or the Islander either. Anyway, I have the 2020 iMac with the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB. Sent log.txt by PM. Then, again, to your own support system!

Hi. Not to repeat myself, but see the post in the SR22 section. Thanks. New iMac on Catalina.

On an iMac. When I pop out either GPS to 2D, the two screens in the console 430s start flickering or flashing - sometimes a lot, sometimes occasionally. The Avidyne screens are fine, and nothing else in the cockpit is wrong. It happens in all four variations of the SR22 and both of the SR20s I also get the occasional CTD when opening any of the Cirruses from another plane, but not when starting from fresh - but that happened also on the G1000 versions.

All the best. Loving the new Cirruses!

Hi Every time I buy or update any of X-Aviation products, Gizmo is downloaded, extracted and installed. Now, if it's a newer version than the one currently installed, then it's worth doing. However, if it is just deleting/overwriting an existing up-to-date version, this is a waste of bandwidth, and adds to hard drive wear and tear. In these days of SSD storage, however, there is the additional concern of the lifetime of the drive. It is said that they can accept between 3,000 to 10,000 writes to the same address, although algorithms spread out where stuff gets written to. My iMac is

They look amazing, Coop. I have a little RW time with an Avidyne equipped plane in my logbook, and I think their logic and ease of use take a lot of beating. Looking forward to tomorrow :-)

My suspicion would be that, as this is a very old product - originally written for X-Plane 9, I think - the installer is still 32-bit, which Big Sur won't run, even on an Intel Mac. Rosetta 2 just won't deal with it on the M1. As the sales of this are probably very small, maybe Cameron forgot (or didn't bother) to redo the installer in 64 bit. Of course, that's just a guess, and there may be another reason altogether!

Yup! That worked. All good. That was quick

Just to confirm, Coop: It doesn't display them on my Mac either. The plugin and g5.cfg files are identical to the last version, where it all worked perfectly.

Managed to do it myself

Hi THis works OK, but I'd like to do the 1.20 upgrade, so I can pop out the panels on the menu. Any chance of a new g5.cfg for me please? BTW, I notice that my Sundowner G5 was not working properly, but saw that you had already offered a new g5.cfg file for that, and it worked perfectly.

That did it! Well done. Your earlier instruction to put it into the G5 folder was the hang-up. Funnily enough, I thought I'd tried putting the .cfg file into the root directory, and on reflection I had - but it was the earlier version, not your new and improved one Nice of you to take the time to indulge this old f--t! Take care.

Hi Coop. No, it didn't work. I know you have better things to do with your time, so I'm not stresed with this at all. It's keeping me amused for a few minutes, while we are still locked down! I still get the dark screens, and can only start up the G5s from a popup. You can see what the file structure looks like. I just duplicated the G5 plane and called it G5 1.2, and experimented in that. Or could that be the problem? I deleted the settings directory, which had the old cfg file. What is interesting to me is that, somehow, a new (slightly smaller) g5.cfg file gets created in
