Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 4.9.0 update for SkyMaxx Pro. All customers who have purchased SkyMaxx Pro v4 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase SkyMaxx Pro v4 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 4.9.0 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php 2. Find your original SkyMaxx Pro v4 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! This release brings experimental support for Vulkan if you are a Windows user. For Mac users, please be aware Metal is not supported. You can still enjoy this v4.9.0 update when running X-Plane in OpenGL mode. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Lower default scattered coverage from 40% to 30% when weather data does not specify a coverage value Increase max number of precipitation particles Fix fog and cloud/terrain blending in VR Added new "force weather reload" menu option More accurate cloud altitudes when used with Real Weather Connector METAR cloud heights converted from AGL to MSL using the elevation of the reporting weather station, not the elevation of the viewpoint Experimental Vulkan support for X-Plane 11.50 As always, thanks for purchasing from X-Aviation!

Unfortunately your video card is not cut out for this. You will need to consider an upgraded MacBook Pro with a discrete graphics card, or, you can consider an eGPU like the Razer Core X and an AMD video card like the 5700XT to put into it. You'll almost undoubtedly appreciate that you did this.

This line is pretty concerning to me: OpenGL Render : Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics 550 What Mac are you trying to run this on?

Soon.

4.8.2 is not compatible with Vulkan.

Hi Bill, This error is caused by large text pushing other info off of the installer screen. To fix this, please set your Windows operating system text size back down to 100% during install.

It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Improvements / New Features: Got a modest framerate boost by avoiding an inefficient flight plan query every frame. Bug Fixes: Fixed a crash when using Vulkan on Windows with an Nvidia GPU Updated magnetic model to latest coefficients for the years 2020-2025. Updated RealSimGear config file we ship to the latest one and renamed it so it no longer overwrites an existing config file if you had it customized. Reduced AP panel knob sensitivity when spun in VR. Stiffened up pitch response to desensitize the pitch axis more on approach & in cruise. Reworked aileron trim model to be more linear with airspeed. Negative-G induced engine flameout was happening way too quickly. Limited the amount of pooled up fuel to prevent huge temp spikes during hot starts. As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Both items have been removed. All joystick assignments are now done through the X-Plane interface. The Mini GPS was removed after we introduced the 530 into the cockpit.

Hi Sam, It's very doubtful this will be migrated over. There have been evaluations of the SDK for MSFS 2020 and some internal alpha testing amongst some developers, and we're not all convinced at this time. We're definitely excited to continue supporting X-Plane well into the future though!

Why the heck would you place anything in an airfoil folder? Unzip the file you download from our website and run the installer!

No. it's either quick start or you starting it up, but no matter what everything starts cold and dark. Glad you have it working!

Are you sure you only moved the levers to Max, and not ALL the way forward? You can travel beyond what you should.

Is your Aircraft folder not writable? Perhaps try creating a folder in your aircraft folder called X-Aviation and run it once more. There's definitely a weird permissions issue stopping this on your machine somewhere.

You're supposed to move the condition levers forward. Did you, or didn't you?

Did you move the condition levers forward first?

This will be considered more of a study-level simulation and will not have a poor G1000 implementation, unlike the competition you mention. You'll be quite pleased.

Pinging @Ben Russell on this one. Shows a Gizmo crash.

Okay.

You did not provide the information asked for, plain and simple.

TorqueSim and X-Aviation are proud to announce the BN-2 Islander! Initially started independently of TorqueSim, the inclusion of this beautiful bird into the new TS development pipeline has allowed for rapid progress and the seamless integration of custom systems, as well as boosting the quality of the 3D models and textures significantly! This aircraft will feature a high quality model, PBR textures throughout, a full custom electrical system with working circuit breakers, support for the AFM G5 avionics on launch, and of course the fantastic roar of its O-540s will be rendered in beautiful FMOD! All that, and more to come as we plan to update and improve our product throughout its lifetime! To stay up to date with what’s going on keep a close eye on the forum here! Stay tuned for more dev updates, screenshots, and insights, and of course for the big moment when the plane is available to fly on X-Aviation!
