I'm glad you got it sorted.

Nevermind, we added that recently and I forgot, so my apologies. What you're referring to is the Gizmo menu bar. You'll find that by going to the plugins menu and making the menu visible in the Gizmo64 preferences.
-
The MU-2 has no such menu.

Machine ID locking is the result of you locking your own machine. As is specified in the screen, once you de-authorize a machine and confirm it by typing 'FREEZE', a machine cannot be re-activated.

There will be one more update free of charge to address bugs and add a few more items. Barring any bugs caused by X-Plane 11 going forward, the next update will be considered the last prior to 2.0. We don't anticipate that release till likely sometime later in 2020. In short, it is safe to purchase now. All customers who purchase the current Saab will also receive a heavily discounted 2.0 update.
-
In this instance not so much. Unfortunately, in order to use the newer versions of Blender all animations must be re-done. They don't carry over from older versions that the Saab used. Long term outlook it's necessary though!
-
That is correct. You can, however, run the auto start function once the plane is loaded. That can be accessed by moving your mouse to the right side of your screen. A menu will pop out and you will want to select the auto start icon.

The Saab 340A is a study level simulation that cannot be started with engines running. Please read the included documentation. It should cover everything you need to know.
-
At the moment there really hasn't been much behind the scenes talk on other variants. For now the focus will be just perfecting the -300 and if it makes sense to do the others we will. It's definitely nowhere close to the top of the list though (as much as we would love to do them)!
-
Hermann, It would seem likely you were either running X-Plane during install, or X-Plane didn't properly shut down. So, you'll need to either properly quit X-Plane or restart your computer before installing the TBM.
-
Please note activation questions are not discussed or dealt with in forums. Typing FREEZE is a deliberate process to de-authorize a machine for good. There is no intended recourse for this. You may contact support@x-aviation for any potential correspondence on this, but not on forums.
-
Yes, it's for both P3D and X-Plane. PILOT'S makes the installer, not us.
-
Bear in mind none of the new features in FSGRW with SMP will be displayed unless running v4. Sounds like you are on v3, so you will not see the full potential in this situation.

I believe what you're seeing here (aside from the fact an iPhone captured images of it even brighter than you're seeing it in person, so makes it look even worse) is the result of 32-bit colors being portrayed best they can on a monitor vs thousands or even millions of colors and proper shading in certain scenarios in things like photos or everyday life as a whole. There's no pixel issues, just harsher gradient shading when less colors are allowed.
-
Have now checked on my second computer. Still do not see any kind of polygons.
-
Same thing in your Dropbox images. Nothing but black sky on my end, even in circled regions. Even when I zoom in.
-
Full brightness on an OLED I cannot see anything but the black sky in your circled areas.
-
Your night with SkyMaxx Pro shot shows clouds above the plane against the sky and stars. Aside from that I can't see any difference of pixelation difference between either image in the dark sky on my monitor.
-
FSGRW will always provide much better cloud representation when necessary compared to ASXP if SkyMaxx Pro is in use. This is because of a cooperation between the developers to add more features when the RWC+SMP+FSGRW combo is used.

RWC acts as the glue to SMP that tells SMP where to place clouds in a scene based on real world METAR data. Let's use the following example to explain it: We are going to assume RWC is NOT installed in the following example. 1. San Francisco, CA is reporting clear skies 2. Oakland, CA across the bay is reporting overcast 3. San Jose, CA on the south side of the bay is reporting scattered clouds Let's say we fly from SFO-OAK-SJC for purposes of demonstration. As we taxi and take off from SFO, there are no clouds reported in the METAR information, so SkyMaxx will draw no clouds anywhere as far as the eye can see (and OAK/SJC are within eye range). We take off from SFO and head towards OAK. X-Plane now tells SMP we are closest to OAK, so we get the METAR data from OAK showing overcast. Now the ENTIRE region as far as the eye can see is overcast...including SFO where we just took off! It's an abrupt change. We continue flying to SJC, and as we get closer, again X-Plane tells SMP to look at SJC as the nearest station for weather. All of a sudden we get an abrupt change to scattered clouds, including looking back at the OAK and SFO areas where it was overcast and clear respectively. In other words, whatever METAR station is closest will dictate what SMP draws for the ENTIRE region! Now, if we had RWC installed, it would analyze all the METAR stations and tell SMP to draw the clouds differently in those three airport areas. Clear over SFO, overcast at OAK, and scattered clouds over SJC. You could get up in the air, look around and see each area reflecting that information accurately. RWC is key to interpreting METARs and telling SkyMaxx where to place different weather fronts rather than drawing the same type for the entire scene. There are no abrupt weather changes as you move from one METAR station to the next. The answer is a mix of 'Yes and no'. RWC is capable of downloading real weather METAR data from the same NOAA source as X-Plane gets its default weather. ASXP claims to have better weather station reporting, so the theory is that ASXP is providing more accurate weather information to X-Plane (and thereby RWC/SMP). Whether it actually does that is up for debate. I do know it has a better wind/turbulence model than default X-Plane can do. You will want to run RWC in the External Injector mode for use with ASXP. Our recommendation is FSGRW+RWC+SMP. This is a killer combo that will provide the most accurate and best weather across any other option. The reason for this is because FSGRW has been created to add in extra cloud types that SMP can handle and display, meaning you will get a much more accurate picture than you will with any other weather injector. Ultimately it's going to come down to your own personal preference, but I hope this sheds a bit more light on the situation for you!

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 4.8.1 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 4.8.1 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! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Improved the appearance of cumulus congestus, cumulonimbus, and towering cumulus clouds (much less of a stacked / layered appearance to these clouds) As always, thanks for purchasing from X-Aviation!

You expecting help after filing a credit card chargeback is exactly why you aren't getting support. You were made aware of this in your support ticket. It's really not that hard to follow. @sundog was made aware of your antics days ago, starting with the disputes you filed with FSGRW, then the four PayPal disputes you lost with SkyMaxx Pro, and now finally your chargeback that you filed with your credit card company but somehow feel you're still entitled to support. The only scam artist here is you; the one who thinks he deserves support after filing for a refund with his credit card company. It doesn't work that way. That's the end of the discussion.

Excuse you? Are you God Almighty and now everyone has xEnviro? You need a reality check. I also like how you decided to clip the part of the quote where Jan said "reporting this". In no way was he incorrect to say what he did, and he's pretty in tune to what's being reported on the IXEG product. Park the attitude at the door, or we'll help you with that next time.
