As is the case for pretty much every aircraft, until librain is compatible with Vulkan/Metal, no.

TorqueSim, RealSimGear, and X-Aviation are excited to announce the Take Command!: SR22 Series for X-Plane will release this coming Saturday, 25 July 2020 at 12pm EDT. The SR22 series is the cumulation of thousands of hours of work, creating the highest quality rendition of a piston aircraft for X-Plane to date: everything is simulated! Both the SR22 G3 and SR22TN G3 are included. Our ultimate goal was to have this out for Simventure this week, however, with unknowns in fixes we needed from Laminar in 11.5 b16, items have been held off till Saturday to ensure we have a better customer experience. We are also excited to announce we showcased the product with a livestream by CitationMax! Max has many, many hours in the real SR22, so we're honored he'll be hosting this product and feel he's the perfect person to do so! CLICK HERE TO WATCH RECORDED STREAM! The SR22 Series is a part of our exclusive "Take Command!" line of products! These products represents the very best of flight simulation immersion, and assures you this TorqueSim product is one of the most sophisticated, study sim level aircraft available for X-Plane! Real world pilots test and assist in the development of these products, and real world procedures are followed. It tells you these products are unlike any other product you've seen outside of the ever growing X-Aviation catalog! Want to feel like a real captain? Take Command! ” Some other products you may be familiar with that have this designation include the Hot Start TBM 900, IXEG 737, and LES Saab 340A. Let's discuss some features! Main Features: 3D Model and Sounds The TorqueSim SR22 and SR22TN have been meticulously detailed to provide for the most in-depth visual model for the SR22 possible. The aircraft makes full use of 4K PBR textures, ensuring the highest level of visual fidelity. All the different materials are accurately represented from samples from the actual aircraft! The FMOD sound pack has been the result of hundreds of hours of source audio, carefully recorded from the real aircraft. Recordings of the engine on the ground, and in-flight have provided for a highly-accurate and immersive sound pack replicating the real aircraft. Every switch, knob, lever, and button have been modeled in the sound-pack. Engine Model Both the SR22 G3 and SR22TN G3 are simulated. The SR22 is equipped with a normally aspirated Continental IO-550-N capable of 310 HP, while the SR22TN models the Tornado Alley turbo normalizing system attached to the engine. The TorqueSim custom physics model is the most accurate simulation of a piston engine for X-Plane! The simulation models the mass flows of air and fuel through every part of the engine in real time. Air enters the engine through the air filter, flows through ducts, passes obstacles like the throttle plate, burns the fuel and leaves the engine as exhaust gas. Pressures and temperatures are calculated in every section independently, all contributing to the different segments of the simulation. With the Tornado Alley turbo-normalizing system installed, the full performance capability of the engine model comes into play, as compressors, intercoolers, wastegate and turbines also have their places in the calculation of air flows and pressures. All engine parameters are tuned against a huge database of real engine log data to ensure maximum possible accuracy in all phases of flight. The entire engine simulation runs on a separate thread from the main simulator. This allows for the timing necessary for proper simulation, independent of sim frame-rate, but also ensures that the model has a near-zero performance impact on the simulator! G1000 Perspective Significant work has gone to enhancing the Laminar G1000 to provide many of the functionalities in the G1000 Perspective suite. Synthetic Vision, as implemented in HotStart’s TBM900 and TorqueSim’s Pocket Rocket has been integrated. The engine pages and sidebar have been modeled fully to provide the necessary details for proper engine management. Lean-assist functionality has been integrating assisting in the proper leaning of the engine. Checklists have also been integrated onto the G1000 providing easy access to the necessary preflight, starting, in- flight, post-flight, and emergency procedures. In addition to these additions, numerous other tweaks were implemented including matching the Perspective’s Top-Bar details including % Power, and destination calculations, in addition to the integration of “Know your Limits” and the fuel calculator system (which we implemented as a custom interface for refueling the aircraft!). All these customizations are designed to also work perfectly with the RealSimGear G1000 and Perspective Package. Electrical System The SR22 electrical system has also been intricately detailed, ensuring every last breaker and switch is modeled. The dual-batteries are simulated with a custom lead-acid battery simulation. The dual-alternator setup and Master Control Unit have been intricately tuned to interface with the rest of the simulation. All 11 electrical busses and 48 circuit breakers are individually simulated to provide for the most in-depth of simulation. Fuel, Oxygen, and TKS Systems The SR22 fuel, oxygen, and TKS systems have all been custom simulated, providing for unparalleled accuracy in-flight. The fuel system models all the details down to the fuel lines and injector nozzles! Fuel temperature is calculated and vapor is formed in the lines under the right environmental circumstances. This also allows for the recreation of all engine starting characteristics usually found on an aviation piston engine like normal, cold, hot, flooded and false starts. So be sure to understand the importance of your boost pump both on ground and in flight! The complex behavior of the engine driven and electric fuel pumps as well as the fuel manifold and metering unit are simulated. Changing bank and attitude of the aircraft affect sloshing in the tank, thus causing the indicated fuel quantity to differ. The TKS system models the multiple operational modes through the independent simulation of tanks, pumps, and fluid lines. The oxygen system is no slouch either - the tank, along with a configurable flowmeter are integrated to provide for an excellent platform for high-altitude operations. The simulator‘s hypoxia simulation is modulated to reflect real time of useful consciousness depending on oxygen flow, so make sure to configure the flowmeter properly! Maintenance and Failure Model The SR22 also features an engaging and beneficial maintenance, wear, and failure model. This aspect of the simulation makes sure that the plane is flown safely and without damage. Excessive wear will be affecting airframe performance and safety, addressed through a realistic concept of runtime-based and annual inspections. The entire wear and failures logic is built on top of the physics model for engine, airframe, fuel, TKS and oxygen systems. This also includes truly unique features like cylinder detonation driven by the physics engine. TKS fluid panels drain over time in warm conditions and need to be primed, tires flatten, brakes fade when hot, the propeller experiences FOD on unprepared surfaces and much more to discover. Probability distributions tuned with real-world data are used to reflect the increasing likelihood of failures with component runtime. High-Fidelity Flight Model The flight model is designed with unparalleled accuracy. The tuning of the aerodynamic profile required hundreds of hours of careful tuning to accurately match the real-world characteristics. The base model was created by X-Aerodynamics, and further built upon to match the aerodynamic quirks of the real aircraft to the limit of the simulator! Persistent and Performance Tuned The countless systems are all designed with persistence in mind - when you shut down the aircraft, you will return to it in the state in which it was left, the engine components will take their real times to cool. This encourages the proper care and handling of the aircraft, and shows the consequences of reckless flying. These systems are also designed to run on computers of many different specs. All the systems are programmed in C/C++ using the X-Plane SDK. No compromises were made for simplicity. The plugins make significant use of multithreading to have the absolute minimum processes running on the main simulator thread, thus helping keep X-Plane performance at its maximum! And, because we know you love detail, here's a few more shots!...

@Litjan the error you experienced was a component mismatch error, meaning the download file size was wrong. The above shots show a file not found error, which can only be one of two things: 1. Running an older installer than what's on the server. For every update you need to re-download the latest installer from your account. This is the most likely issue right now. 2. Firewall The error means it is not even finding a file to download on the server. You should double check that the file you're running is in fact the 1.32 installer.

Of course not! Thanks!

All you had to do was search the word "Catalina" to get results.

I think you should now ask ASXP why their program is not producing an updated Metar.RWX file for SkyMaxx.

Are you running b15 of X-Plane 11.5? It's had several issues that Laminar is looking to fix.

Can we also get a screenshot of your main X-Plane directory?

It's updated about every 30 days. New cycle coming up.

If you don't see word, there probably isn't word we're ready to tell just yet. We don't have a habit of keeping quiet when we have news to share.

11 refers to X-Plane 11.

Is this really a surprise to you? You were originally using someone else's account for purchases you did not make. Your machine became locked from under that account.

Patrick, The most typical reason we'd see this error is because the customer is trying to use an old installer. You need to make sure you've downloaded the new 1.32 installer and are using it.

Doug, I've tried with all my brain power, but the cylinders don't seem to be firing and I can't understand what the heck you're really describing here. A video would probably be most appropriate here.

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.32 update for the Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic. All customers who have purchased the IXEG 737 Classic 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 the IXEG 737 Classic from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.32 for you. It is for X-Plane 11. If you use X-Plane 10, you can still install an old version of the aircraft from the installer, but this update does not otherwise apply to you. Caution: This update is optimized for XP11.41 and newer only! If you run it any previous X-Plane version it will still work, but the aerodynamic model gets changed and will not fly "by the numbers" anymore! Install at your own risk (make a backup of the aircraft folder first, especially if you run XP10)! What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret!

Post in the support forums if you need assistance.

This has been seen in situations where you are exhausting resources on the computer. It gets tipped over the edge and a CTD happens.

You're asking for support of a commercial product in a general discussion forum. It's probably not helping the exposure of your issue for the devs who need to see it. There's an IXEG support forum here. You should use it.

Just an FYI, There is a known issue Laminar cannot solve (up to Apple) where stutters will happen when orthoimagery is in use while using Metal. They have significantly reduced it since early developer beta's, but it's about as good as it's going to get for now.
