The sarcasm is unneeded, and the simulation of the product for which its intended use is in a flight simulator is unhindered. If it truly is an issue it'll be fixed, updated, and released when the time comes. Until then, you're the only customer of very many to complain about it, making it very obvious it's not the number one priority in the line right now. Hate to be blunt, but I think you wanted that in the end. Thanks.

No. We're quite happy with how they've turned out now. Sorry if this is disappointing to you, but we have already received MANY comments on how much people like the new way of clouds transition during evening and the colors they are.

Yet you are full of it yourself.

Gerhard, Quit making a bunch of something out of nothing. Why don't you create a support ticket at X-Aviation and just request 1.3.3 if you want it so bad? I really don't understand your behavior here. 2.0 only adds new features, not takes any away. Therefore, if you wanted to, you could essentially set the defaults that were present from 1.3.3 and be done with it. We have had a number of customers do this with success. Perhaps listening to what is being told to you by people like John about using the UI to adjust items to your liking would be the smart thing to do. No Jedi Knight included.

Change your username.

So long as you de-select the beta checkbox in the installer you could have simply gone back to a fresh 10.25 install with minimal hassle.

Tom, I know you tend to almost *always* be "constructively" negative in most things you post about anything, but did you really just create a topic filled with rant about a UI for a weather plugin? More to the point...about the UI giving freedom of choice to users to choose what they do or do not want to see, or do/do not want to impact their perhaps lower end system? Anyways, I think the rest of the posts throughout this forum and others shed the more realistic light and expectations on this product...exceedingly good. While your opinion counts, I'm really not sure what to say to you.

I would love to know what this means. We're very responsive and just gave away a massive upgrade free of charge to existing customers after a lengthy and thorough beta testing run. Please do elaborate.

It will already be updated.

This topic is now closed since the product has been released. You may continue the discussion here. See ya there!

Making multiple forum posts, sending PMs, and sending multiple support tickets is not the way to go about this. Support tickets are answered in the order received.

Feel free to re-read the posts in this thread. I'm certainly not going to break it down into simpler terms for you.

You're only brushing a surface and minimally understanding, G-ERTI. There's a reason for a debate brewing in this topic. What you're saying (for the most part) is basic principles to which pretty much anyone and everyone could agree. What Hangar is saying is a bit more, well...more than what you're interpreting.

Those will show as missing for practically any plugin, as they are part of something X-Plane will supply at startup. Take a screenshot of the full list. There must be more than those that you're missing.

Run it on the following file instead: X-Plane/Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/64/win.xpl

Your answer is here: D:\Program Files (x86)/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 127 : The specified procedure could not be found.You should run Dependency Walker to find out what DLL you are missing.

And for those on Macs? You're dismissing a large chunk of the X-Plane market in your solution here. Can I ask what products you have made to support your claims? Even if a company takes in their own support, they still have dedicated staff to tend to that matter. Speaking for X-Aviation, considering the premise is quality over quantity, I don't agree with your farming out assessment. In fact, it just happens to show how ill informed you are of how intricately tied the devs that work with us (and vice versa) are from the "ground breaking" to the finished product. The support forums exist for a very good reason. You can interact with the developers all day long, and if you even pay attention, you'll see people do just that... As someone who interacts with customers daily in this market, I can tell you first hand majority of people much rather use one channel and point of contact for support as they purchased their product. In the event our support staff cannot answer a question (which is really quite rare), the developer is brought into the support ticket.

The forums are supplemental to the community. X-Pilot and XA do not share the same customer database, which is far, far larger at XA. That said, given the fact that we do not really sell the same products, customer database size is rather irrelevant.

License requests are not handled in the forums.

I guess the simplest is answer is: Because. Honestly, it's years gone by now. I couldn't tell ya.
