Correct.

It's not a bug. The Jetstream does not support what you are trying to do.

You may need to take this one up with Wade at XSB. That log clearly shows his plugin is crashing. Be sure to send any related crash log to him too! As for the pauses, it should be about 75% faster. If it's not it's quite possible your GPU is just hammered. What kind is it?

There is no bug here. The look of the clouds is time based for when X-Plane feels it should change the color for day transition. If you press the 'K' or 'L' and keep them held down you will see the time at which X-Plane feels this transition should take place.

Unzip the files before running the installer. Don't run it within the zip.

1. What sky color set? 2. What location is the screenshot taken? 3. What time of day in the time setting?

This is entirely beside the point. It still loads data based on location and changes it often using the same method of weather injection that any other Real World method would. That's the point that matters. Anything more and we're just getting too technical for customers, which in turn gets mushed in words. Thanks though!

You're not losing any rendering quality. This just forces an alternate method for updating vertices. It's not as efficient speed wise, thus we don't make this default. You don't have much choice, and as you can see, it's not too inefficient in the end.

Okay, we've reviewed this now and it's come down to a few possibilities: 1. Potentially bad drivers - this would be on Nvidia. It's possible that we are tapping into something on the GPU that X-Plane typically does not, thus the reason you didn't have the issue before. 2. Potentially hitting a fill-rate wall. The 580 was a good card (especially for X-Plane 9), but when X-Plane 10 came out the fill-rate issue became a big factor, and this card does get hit hard with it (I had the very same card myself). You have such an amazing config, this will likely be your next thing to upgrade down the line so that you're not GPU bound, I'm sure. Anyways, if it's a fill-rate issue and we are filling up your card beyond what it can handle with current settings, there's one option you can try (side note: folks, this is not an invitation to try this with the exception of the thread starter here)... 1. From your desktop, go to your system control panel / system and security / system / advanced system settings 2. Click on "environment variables" 3. Click "new", enter SILVERLINING_NO_VBO for the name, and 1 for the value. 4. Restart Windows. What happens now?

He's using 1.2 as stated in original post. We're looking into it. First glance this seems bad driver related, but I'm not going to pin it there just yet.

That should not be happening. Can you post the log.txt file located in your X-Plane folder?

There's nothing you need to do with those menus. Some aircraft use them, some don't. Gizmo is a language API for X-Plane. The DC-3 uses Gizmo to simulate systems and make your experience better than what default X-Plane can provide.

I have just adjusted these switches on both Mac and Windows, doing a full manual startup. For the life of me, I cannot duplicate this issue.

You need to be sure your XSB is 1.2b.

I think this has already been answered, Tom. People have let you know that moderator queue more or less is a "soft ban", meaning it's a way to not label you as banned to the community, but they will keep you in that status going forward. There are guys here who have been on that for years.

Why would you buy a product you already own, and why would you expect the product to be any different than it's always been? More importantly, why would you not question if there's anything different and inform yourself as a buyer prior to purchasing? We always give free updates to all of our products, so this makes no sense to me. If you already own this product write in to us. We'll be happy to refund you the purchase.

Go to X-Plane/X-Aviation and run the uninstaller. After this, re-run the X-Plane updater to restore default textures. I really don't have much else to offer you here. You are clearly placing blame on us when this may perhaps not be our issue at all (it may be another offending plug-in, etc). This is not a controlled environment. You aren't beta testing anything here. It's VERY obvious this is not even close to a widespread issue, so expecting us to pull magic from the hat without your help is well...impossible. We'll be here to help you if you WANT the help. That's the best I can offer you.

To be entirely honest, the log doesn't help here. What happens when you remove all but necessary plug-ins and fly the equal length in flight? What is your RAM at when the CTD occurs, or at that stage length in flight? This is more valuable information. Everyone's computer and setup is different. You're going to need to help more than what's been offered.

Surely you know about Fake Austin, or was this before your time in X-Plane? We banned that ass of a guy here when he first made it to the X-Plane scene. To this day it's anyone's guess as to who it is. For a while I was half convinced it was Austin having a play on himself, but Laminar was insistent it wasn't, and as time went on I became sure of that too. I do have a few "hunches," but they are only that at this point so it's not proper to say anything more since chances are I'm entirely wrong. I'll admit, that made me laugh, but the description of the video also makes me worry this joke of a guy will make a return...

I think you have slightly misinterpreted Ben. The point he was trying to make was not that people shouldn't make suggestions. This is, after all, how products get better. It's those who come in with a demand rather than suggestion. There are ways to carry yourself, and some people have not done a tremendous job of that. Ben's primary point was also that as developers we are only subject to provide you what we advertised to you and paid for. Bugs, fixes, etc are entitlements to you as a customer. You can and should expect free updates for these things. But, things like a weather injection system, or other items never intended or advertised are simply icing on the cake, free additives, and not entitlements. This is the disconnect Ben is talking about from the real world vs. the digital world. I don't ever expect my tupperware in the cupboard to grow wings the next day. I bought it knowing what I was getting and nothing more.

Do you have UrbanMaxx?

Oh my...

This is very true, however, it's how you say it that matters most. There's a difference between criticism with a negative tone and constructive criticism. I hope your Christmas goes well, Mat! It's a time to be with family and friends above all, so if possible, do so.

Thanks! This is very telling and I think we'll be able to work through this. I'd like to discuss your setup further. Can you please contact us at X-Aviation?
