Which will now render your X-Aviation purchases no good. You'll understand what I mean when you try to open one up with this older version of Gizmo Jack is suggesting.

Guys, We're having two different topics here. The context of my speech is STRICTLY about Gizmo and its worth. If the developer fails to disclaim the fact that they have a nag screen with their product I certainly agree it SHOULD be disclosed with info as to why it's there, that it is there, and how to get rid of it. Ed, Can you please share what this supposed work around is?

Aha. Well, I can agree with you there to an extent. You'll need to take that up with the fine folks at armchair. You "don't" need to purchase anything additional. The aircraft works, full featured as the author made it, with or without the added license. It's not mandatory. It's optional. *shameless plug*...developers who sell at X-Aviation will have their products exempt from this screen popping up as a license is embedded for our products and customers into our DRM. Again, because the product DOES work with or without the license it's not the same analogy you have used here. For you as an end customer, I suppose that could be true. The reality is this: Gizmo has been about 5 or so years in development to make life easier on developers. Ben Russell has worked very hard on this. I see no harm in getting the name out there and giving the power to developers to develop faster for FREE. All a customer needs to do is pay a one-time $10 fee to get rid of the shareware logo and that same $10 purchase is good across ALL aircraft you buy that will use Gizmo. Considering Ben's work is near enterprise level, this is absurdly cheap and this community should be appreciating this effort rather than trying to bash it. If you're willing to look around the Gizmo forums there's also a way to currently get the serial for Gizmo for a measly $5 fee with a special promo code.

I'm genuinely curious, and please don't take this the wrong way... What is your objection to supporting a platform (Gizmo) that is going to allow developers to rapidly create products they never would have been able to before without tons more work? It benefits you in the end, and $10 for ALL of the products you use it for seems like a great shareware price to me!

Ok, all, This topic has definitely ran it's course now. Topic closed. David said his peace, and my official answer back to him is here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2675.msg25010#msg25010 There were some obvious, blatant lies in his postings, and this should be easily evident with all the email correspondence I have now publicly posted with him. As my suggestion to him, he has also now re-posted his negative review, this time keeping the review on topic and pertaining to the product instead of a personal bash. For this, his review can remain just like anyone else who posts a negative review. I think it's important people see others' honest take on products to assist not only customers in buying products, but also for us to improve on what our customers feel needs improving on. Thanks for reading and chiming in. Cam

No, that's not what Tom said. You have used an overly abundant amount of licenses in the span that you've had this product. 99% of customers need a new license on the MU-2 very seldom, and only with normal upgrade changes. You, on the other hand, have needed one so many times that it's easy to count on multiple hands. When version 1.5 comes out (free update) you'll receive a new license "set" that will allow you multiple installs again as you please. It is easier to manage with the new license system vs the one currently in the MU-2. It will also allow us to track and figure out WHY you need so many activations.

Absolutely ridiculous assessment. I do NOT delete reviews about products on XA just because they are bad, and there ARE blatant, bad reviews seen on there. As long as the review has to do about the PRODUCT the reviews always remain. After all, the reviews system is for and about the PRODUCT. I'm not sure what you are talking about, David. To me this is complete hogwash. You and I have had ONE instance of interaction here, and that was when I replied to you in a thread regarding your support request. You sent me an e-mail stating your distaste for my response, and at your request (which is rare I might add), I edited my post to your favor. How was this bad? Looking at our support e-mail interaction I also see nothing out of line. I was exceptionally rude by email? Well, I guess we better make our e-mails public then: My first ever email from you: My first ever email response to you - total response time: 8 minutes Your email response to this: I don't know about you, but it sure as heck doesn't look like you were rudely met in support emails nor even suggested so in them. I find this very awkward of you to claim here! You then sent me the following e-mail: Email from David about forum posting (topic in question here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2617.0 ): Which you then shortly followed up with before I had a chance to reply: Another consecutive email from David My reply to the above two emails were: Reply from Cameron To which you replied with this last, and final e-mail between the two of us: Email from David That was the LAST correspondence I have ever had with you, and the LAST e-mail you ever sent in to X-Aviation. I don't believe I was rude. Why are you saying posts? As in plural? You mean POST? As in singular? Yes, that is correct. Your subsequent POST (singular) was deleted. Why? Simple: 1. You started a new topic to post a response to an already locked thread. This is a basic forum etiquette no-no. 2. You requested to me through e-mail that I retract my own forum post, and in a very rare moment, I actually obliged to YOUR request to do so within minutes (literally). After doing so, you posted a rather ridiculous new thread as a response to the locked thread regarding your want to rebut my response...yet by the time you had made such a post I had already obliged by your request to edit my own so that your name was not felt to be slandered on this forum. Where again was this rude? 1. You're assuming it was me. You have no proof. 2. Your posted review had much more to do along the lines with the sense of this posting and your failure to still be sentimental towards the posting on this forum rather than a product review of Florida. People had to read through a whole bunch of 'crap' before getting to your very small review. Sorry, but this was not a product review. That said, yes, it WAS me who deleted it. However, you are wrong in stating that it was deleted the following day. You published on the 16th. It was removed on the 22nd. That's six days, not one. Furthermore, I do not delete reviews even if they are bad so long as they stay on task, and when I do I always contact the author. I did not get around to doing so to you just yet due to being on travel in airplanes. Up until this one, the only time I've ever had to delete one is: A) When it's a double posted review (so one of the two still remains from the same author) When the author was using it for support instead of for writing a review C) At the request of the author If the reviews are about the product then I have no objections. That's what the review system is for. If you want to go back and write a review that hurts the product and can keep it to being about the product, by all means, do so! Kind of like your post here riddled with false information? More like none were ever posted. I do believe there are many posted for the "Enhanced" series of products though (Oahu and Reno). It's no mystery that the Legacy scenery packs are not our better line of products, however they are offered there because there is no alternative and they still serve a purpose! Florida falls into that 'Legacy' category. Read above. If you really had to post that line then you surely have not been here long enough. Go have a gander around the Rant forum especially. You're off base, David. I don't delete posts. Yours was the exception, not the rule, and with good intention. Your deleted post made YOU look like an ass because mine had already been edited at YOUR request. Think about that for a moment.... No? Just like I haven't deleted the ultra unfavorable review in that same product review page by Michael O' Brien? Come on, David. This isn't rocket science. Should you continue this rather ridiculous, baseless crusade you will be too. We don't hide things around here, including the very few (4) bans ever done in the existence of X-Pilot. Well obviously that just got slammed, didn't it? Read above and you'll see EVERY email you and I have ever had. Either you have a very short memory that your e-mails were responded to within usually minutes of sending them in, or you just figured "Eh, Cameron didn't keep the emails, lets bash him." Sorry, I do not delete ANY customer emails. Ever. The next time you want to post slanderous remarks you should probably back it up with facts (like emails) as I have done here to prove otherwise for the forums members. People can come to their own conclusions. Thanks for reading, posting, and sharing your concerns! It's always good to clear the air! Best, Cameron

It's not a shame. The plug-in accurately reports where to write.

Nope, sure isn't: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=965.msg18562#msg18562 It only happens with very specific user changes or setups...like switching your net on or off, or between wifi and ethernet, etc. What do you have to base any of this off of? As far as I am truly aware, there is only one person who has ever had a problem with the DRM system that we were unable to solve. Please don't make statements you can't back up. Not only that, but you HAVE activated your Corvalis...THREE times on different operating systems! Please don't pass this along as something that is flawed. You hit your max allowable hardware/OS key slots. It's doing what it's designed to do in that instance. Why? So that we then get customers screaming at us for going behind their back and "phoning home?" I don't think so! A quick look around the entire X-Pilot forums would tell you your take on support is very much so opposite of the majority when it comes to X-Aviation. Case in point, one of the many examples: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=689.msg19723#msg19723 Your comment about only flying default planes instead is well...ok.

http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=965.msg18562#msg18562 That's all there is to be said on this subject.

A quick read through this forum will tell you that the CRJ supports the existence of XPUIPC and some of it's functions at this time. However, XPUIPC is still known to cause crashes when active with the CRJ. The developer of XPUIPC is closely working with us to resolve this issue.

David, Your topic has been edited. Please follow the criteria as outlined in the linked topic.

Thanks. Philipp will be with your shortly!

No, it's not. See here:

Thanks for sharing! Nice mods!

The problem with this statement is that it's speculation on your part. You assume the return would be small for the investment. I can tell you without hesitation that the money is there, and some products have in very obvious ways shown so to those that need to know.

Many...TBA. A lot more than you're privvy to is going on behind the scenes thanks to a joint effort between several entities.

Marlon, You'll likely need to download the latest service pack update for this product free of charge at the REX website if you haven't done so already!

Precisely.

Predictions and implementation are only as good as the programming behind them. I can without a doubt state that the UFMC has fantastic representation of VNAV provided that the config file you're using is well coded. The developer of the UFMC provides some preset ones for you when purchased. Bear in mind that the UFMC does NOT use X-Plane's generic VNAV implementation. Instead, it uses custom logic (just like PMDG) to properly calculate things. In fact, the UFMC pretty much overrides the entirety of X-Plane's autopilot with it's own, creating a much more true to life experience. At this moment you are taking something PMDG says at face value. There are people justifying experience here who HAVE flown PMDG products plenty, and are vouching for the integrity of the UFMC and the experience it provides. You can take it at face value as well, or you can purchase it and see for yourself!

Time will tell. That said, I think you're very wrong in your assumption. Then again, what do I know?

By reading your e-mail.

Okay, I understand you now... You tried to login to your user account on X-Aviation but it said your password was wrong, then you tried to reset your password but did not get an e-mail. I'll take care of this for you. Best, Cameron
