Nope.

@BobGramm @robder There is no official final word as to what's happening on Mac at this time (both in Discord or here) other than it is still being investigated. It's possible Catalina is at play with its new security requirements, but no final word yet.

What you do on your computer is far different than DISTRIBUTION. Glad you're enjoying the update!

What's easy to you is only in your mind. Our system is not coded to distribute separate OS installers. So no, it is not "easily" done. Given the developer of this product utilizes Linux and only codes on it, excluding that segment of the market is not the solution or an option. In the interim we have already submitted the file to Microsoft, and we are monitoring our support channels to explain the situation to anyone that asks.

Would you appreciate that as a Linux user? False positive detections are common in the antivirus industry. They occur when a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus product. You can read more about this in a pretty good article here if you are concerned: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2883692/virustotal-tackles-false-positive-malware-detections-plaguing-antivirus-and-software-vendors.html We aren't responsible for every problem in the world over here. I think it's pretty clear this is squarely in Microsoft's court. The fact Windows Defender flagged an application that does not even run on their platform is grossly miscalculated on their part and is a problem they need to fix. Trying to make it out as us being the bad guys is the wrong way to look at it.

I hope someone in this thread can help you with alternatives. I do not use it so I'm not privy to the options you have.

Do not EVER do this. An installer is packaged per customer with specific information to identify distribution.

You should read posts in the thread.

You are using an outdated installer and that's the cause of the issue. You'll need to re-download and install from the newest one!

Please read the thread. It's already been explained.

Sure!

Not really that strange when you consider we don't ship Linux installers with other products but this one, and that the Linux installer is what Windows Defender falsely thinks is a virus.

I don't have any assistance I can provide you for Windows Defender. Temporarily disable it or make an exception if you need to for downloading.

I already posted about that above.

You have updated to Catalina since the last time you installed the TBM. You will need to manually delete the TBM that is already installed and also trash the TBM Uninstaller located in X-Plane/X-Aviation

There is definitely no Trojan. The file it is pointing to is the installer for Linux users. Definitely a false positive.

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.1.10 update for the TBM 900. All customers who have purchased the TBM 900 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 TBM 900 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.1.10 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 TBM 900 download and re-download the file.

Adjusted panel textures to make the panels more readable New glass texture work for much nicer reflection effects Added new glass reflections to PFDs & MFD screens Implemented screen brightness automatic & manual control. Use MENU key on PFD to control screen brightness. Landing gear should cast shadows in interior views Cabin lights default to on to allow controlling them via the CABIN switch. Cabin light button state is persisted Implemented nulling of VR yoke inputs after AP engagement Reworked airfoils for more realistic flight-handling feel Adjusted stalling performance to be much closer to book numbers Adjusted high speed performance to be closer to the book numbers Added default RealSimGear command mapping file to ship with the plane Corrected CG offsets to be closer to the real plane Re-worked portions of the Payload Manager to allow displaying CG and manipulating exterior elements even when an FSE flight is active AP code was restoring CRS2 to CRS1 value on aircraft reload Disable X-Plane's built-in random failures on load and restore the setting on exit. We have our own failure logic. Panel rendering performance improvement Added printable normal checklists in PDF format, courtesy of Grau Adler Bugfixes: Sidebar drawer towing function should work from inside the cockpit. G1000 NG redline should be 104% not 102%. VOR intercepts were broken in the previous beta. Removed icing effect from engine inlet lip, as that part of the inlet is heated by an exhaust bleed. Switching CDI from NAV ro GPS while LOC mode was armed would crash on an assertion failure Fixed missing "vertical track" annunciation broken by X-Plane 11.35 De-pressurization with RAM AIR wasn't fast/responsive enough SVS was missing ILS & RNAV approach pathways under new XP11.40 FM the elevator & rudder trim didn't have enough authority Modified engine simulation to allow for greater power range at high alt Downloading US obstacle database was horribly slow, resulting in soft sim lockup Avoid printing weights in the load manager as negative zero Hovering pilot door glass fixed Removed spurious debug message being emitted to Log.txt Generator wear rate was excessive Cabin thermal conductivity wasn't responding properly to fast flight. Fuel automatic selector wasn't correctly switching when the fuel level sensors were broken Pressing a service button in maintenance manager didn't update the window IAS selector window should use a completely black background, not dark-grey-black Tow clickspot on nosewheel can be clicked through the instrument panel ADC-generated alerts weren't taking sensor inaccuracies into account Generator switch dataref was misnamed in docs Main door was snapping closed when battery was drained and added notification if battery is drained and user attempts to operate the main door Outflow valve & safety valve bleed-through rates were too low, resulting in lack of depress when bleed was closed Fixed race condition causing a crash in panel rendering Fire extinguisher was protruding out of the fuselage a touch Hot air rheostat dataref doc was incorrectly labeled as temp_sel Default the rain effects to OFF on Mac Radio altimeter window could flash occasionally due to race condition Synthetic vision system could cause a crash due to erroneously trying to load pixel data from a buffer, instead of allocating a blank buffer Low-signal VOR & NDB behavior was reworked to use normal distributions Low-signal DME error is now physically based Removed unnecessary error messages about X-Plane navdata format errors Implemented duplicate navaid removal to work around inconsistent data between hand-placed localizers and AIRAC data ADF bearings are now relative and take into account pitch & roll As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Sounds like you're running an old installer and need to re-download.

Yes, if you have a program that does historical data like FSGRW then you can do that.

You're showing me a video of a sun with proper reflection that's controlled by X-Plane long before you ever purchased SkyMaxx. As I've already told you, SkyMaxx has it's own sky model. The sun is a part of that SkyMaxx sky model. X-Plane still controls the sun reflection on the surface of the water based on its own sky model and where it thinks it should be. It can be slightly off at times. There's nothing we can do to alter that. @sundog is the only one that can answer this.

It's pretty self explanatory there. Your X-Plane folders do not seem to have write permissions. You can Google 'Change folder permissions windows'. You'll need to alter these folder permissions for installation to be able to write the files to disk.

What's disappointing is that VR users represent 2.06% of the potential market. It would be great if that number were higher.

He's a developer, owns a VR headset, and I can assure you he's not jealous of not using what he has. He's being realistic and going by statistics; and he's right. When it comes to business, emotions must be removed when making decisions that impact your bottom line.

What I stated is accurate. That would be great, but SkyMaxx Pro has been on the market much longer and things are pretty predictable now. I do not think there will be an influx. I don't know if what you're asking from UWXP will work or not. Experiment, I guess!

Plenty of other topics and responses from the developers on this. Please search.
