After further investigation it appears you purchased this product elsewhere than X-Aviation.com. This section of the forums is for customers who have purchased from X-Aviation, so please utilize the support systems available from your original place of purchase. More than welcome to hang around X-Pilot and enjoy the rest of the forums, however!

Beautiful!

I have just tried this in both X-Plane 9 and 10. I flew from Reno to Sacramento, with many FPL changes along the way following your instructions as well. I cannot duplicate ANY of what you are seeing. Everything worked flawless on this side, just as it has for JGregory. Anything else we can try that gives the same behavior every time with a specific process?

Hi, there, Can you please specify whether this is XP 10 or 9? Can you please upload the log.txt file in your main X-Plane folder?

As this topic has found a resolution, it is now closed.

Just remember to put it back if you wish to fly X-Aviation products. It has nothing to do with slow support at all. This issue extends beyond anything "simple." An active topic about this with explanations can be found here:

That's an assumption on your part, Marc. It's not fact. Trust us when we say that we've invested much time (almost too much) in porting to Linux. It's NOT as easy as you are assuming, even if you've programmed your own works for X-Plane. Gizmo is a whole other beast in it's dependencies and compiling needs. Investment is dependent on how much money we must pay someone to do the port...it's not a cheap investment in comparison to the ROI. It's simple business when you look at the numbers, and suffice to say...I'm sad about it. I DO like Linux, but I too must face this reality. Understood, Marc. It was figurative speech to be sure (coming from Ben, that is). Hi, Paraffin, We understand that and see it wholeheartedly. It is not something that can be fixed at this moment, and it's not something we enjoy having our customers endure. Had it been an easy fix we would have solved this a long, long time ago. That said, we are very confident with our use of Gizmo and its future. While I can't let all of the cats out of the bag I can assure you that all of this has been methodically planned out as best we can while we get to the end goal. A goal that we are quite sure will revolutionize many aspects of X-Plane and how we interact with it as users. X-Plane is a growing market, and these are parts of the growing pains. It's unfortunate, no doubt, but we are trudging on with confidence. It's hard to have faith in all of this for you guys on the outside, I'm sure, but it's all we can ask for from our customers at this time. We'll ultimately get to a very happy place...that I'm sure of! Happy flying!

Hi, Jim, I can see where your frustration is stemming from. I can assure you Philipp meant no harm. Sometimes the language barrier gets in the way and things don't always come off well over text. Philipp is a very "happy" guy in person, so I know his intent was nothing but good in his response to you. I suppose this should have been better explained. X-Plane.org and X-Aviation don't run the same plug-ins. We DO run the same aircraft systems and core product, but the activation processes are slightly different and a couple of sounds on Windows are coded in a different way to better tailor to compatibility with ALL X-Aviation aircraft. This basically ensures that all XA customers have a smooth experience for anything they buy from us. So, in short, yes, the aircraft itself is the same, but some very minor subtle changes are there between the two store versions to accomodate for the sound slot issue and activation processes.

If you're truly interested in this there are a number of examples about the forums as to how development and example uses have shown Gizmo's capabilities BEYOND aircraft use. It will be even more apparent once these uses hit the market. This is nothing new. As already stated, SASL products cause a problem...the PBY is a SASL product. That's entirely your decision! Not true once the products that will make it very evident of Gizmo's intended capabilities hit the market. We'll be sure to make this very apparent.

Hi, Jim, Firstly, these forums are for X-Aviation customers of the CRJ. From what I can tell you did not purchase from our website with regards to this aircraft. That said, I'll assist in this instance: The issue is that you are utilizing a version of the CRJ purchased from a venue other than X-Aviation, and which is a different plug-in in some areas to do with sound. The X-Aviation version works around this. What is happening is your CRJ is conflicting with Gizmo with regards to OpenAL sound. The screeching is then experienced from this clashing while the plug-ins fight for sound slots. Considering your loyalty to X-Aviation in the past please contact me using the following form: http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68 I'll be willing to work something out for you regarding this matter.

Hi, Jim, The only time I am aware of this happening is with the presence of other plugins fighting one another. Can you please upload the log.txt file located in your main X-Plane directory?

This is an informative topic and not a debate, Marc. Having known the complexities of where Gizmo is headed, the fact that it is NOT to be utilized just for aircraft (yep, not aircraft-specific!), etc is precisely why it's been done the way it has. Making accusations with regards to a subject you know little info about is not helping any of us. I don't watch TV. Ben R doesn't either. There are many better things to be doing with our time, evidently and rightly so that you have no clue! As for Linux? It hasn't been released simply for the fact that Linux is not a viable platform. We've tried it in the past and the ROI is simply not there. Perhaps in time it will change, but that time is not "now."

Can't be done due to the animations/manip types being harcoded into the obj's, so a plug-in is not really an option here. That said, no, we don't have plans to alter this.

Because it's new.

Hey, Kyle...it's available here.

This looks like you need either a graphics card update or your graphics card is incompatible with the CRJ. This is precisely why we have the CRJ Test available here: http://www.x-aviatio...og/crj_test.php (Unless you didn't purchase from X-Aviation.com...I can't find a match for your e-mail address in our customer database).

No.

Hi, there, Unfortunately you would need to restart sim. Plug-Ins are initialized during the startup phase of X-Plane.

Gizmo runs global. There are reasons for this, primarily in that the functions we plan and some that have been implemented are not possible without the plug-in being Global. In three years, there are "only" two known conflicts: 1. SASL interferes with Gizmo (or vice versa depending how you choose to look at it) 2. SOME people have issues with DreamEngine, though this is rather sporadic and most people are not affected. The issues are actually ALL related to sound. What happens here is SASL, Gizmo, and DreamEngine (as well as X-Plane for that matter) are all competing for sound slots within X-Plane's environment. As such, a clash will sometimes occur depending on the order in which a product using a specific plug-in was opened. Without getting too technical, I'll just say that had the fix been an easy one amongst developers it would have been developed and released already. There is some impending, rather large news we have coming out soon, but I cannot comment on this right at this moment. As for "priority," Gizmo simply runs all the time, but does NOT interact with an aircraft if the aircraft does not have the required files necessary to tell Gizmo it has a "green light" to operate. So, no, it does not take priority over all/other plug-ins. When experiencing this conflict, people have done one of two things that I have seen: 1. Create TWO X-plane installs. One will be Gizmo only, the other will be SASL only. 2. Go to your resources/plugins folder and move the gizmo.plugin folder to your desktop or anywhere of your choosing while you operate a SASL aircraft, then return Gizmo after your session. Thus far, only the latest Carenado aircraft (Seneca) utilizes SASL. Knowing Dan however (developer for Carenado) he will want to continue to innovate their products (and rightly so) and will likely carry the SASL tradition into future aircraft. Time will tell on this one! Lastly, with your Cessna issue, this should not be happening nor have I ever heard of it. You may want to look into updating your video drivers to the latest version if this is happening. Gizmo is a scripting language API, not a graphics adjuster!

Of course it's allowed! Thanks for bringing something to the community to enjoy!

Hey, Edwin, Here you go...can do both PayPal or bank payments: http://secure.simmarket.com/carenado-pa-34-200t-seneca-ii-x-plane.phtml Plane looks great...I may pick it up myself!

They looks great, Steven!

Thanks, we'll report back with results from this end.

We need more info on this and more reports. Two reports in a sea of many C400 users is not solid enough to fix this when we can't duplicate the effects seen ourselves at this time.

Hi, Hugh, Have you read the included manuals to understand as much as you can, as well as see all of the instruments included in this aircraft? The manual covers every instrument and its location (useful for finding things such as whether an OBS is present of not). The checklists define when cowl flaps should be open or closed. These are included in the Documentation folder within the DC-3 aircraft folder.
