Is it Friday already? Oh, shoot...

Yes!

Great news. Does the coffee maker work? You know the level of detail customers expect these days!

Ok, thanks much, Jan. Sorry for the delay in replying.

And as soon as I started pushback, it stopped.

Not sure if it's related but I'm on the gate and the altitude alert is blinking, but kind of randomically. Like....on...of.....onoffonoff.....on..............offon.....and so on. Like something is in the brink of something. Now, THAT's tech talk for ya.

Jpee27, you have a beer and a meat empanada to your credit. I was just gonna say I can't run XP with textures on max. The card seems good enough (I think - GTX1070 / 8G) but it was stuttering and taking ages to load. So thank you for that one!

Well, Pedro, waddya know. Being a CGI man myself, I was sure it was a phong / softness thingy, but raising the texture quality to maximum fixed it. It's another kind of rendering, obviously, so I'll throw an egg on mi face. With Vulkan off, setting texture to max doesn't fix it, though. It only works with Vulkan. If I can't fly with textures on max, I'll complain again :-) On X-Plane 10 this doesn't happen (and I must confess I still like XP10 a lot). Ok, thanks guys for the replies. It's not a big deal, really.

More noticeable in the morning light. Here's a later light for comparison.

I'm quite sure it's the smooth on that geometry (like the phong angle thing), since the rest is smoothed. Funny I never noticed it before.

Windows + GTX1070.

Hi, anyone. I have these triangles showing now. I never noticed before, but I'm almost sure they weren't there. It's like the "smooth" is set to zero in the geometry or something like that. Is this a bug or some setup in X-Plane? Pic:

Ok, thank you. I restarted X-Plane and it's working normally again. I think the standard speed indicator was also showing 60knots, when now, after restart, it was on zero. It's like the speeds were "locked" on 60knots? And when I quit XP after the failure, it didn't ask me "Do you really want to quit?", it just went puf, so it was something wrong with X-Plane, not the plane. I think.

Hi Jan, and D-ETSN. This just happened to me. Both (cpt and FO) speed indicators' white and red needles moved to zero, in my case, after 45knots, and no speed indication on the EADI(?) either. It doesn't look like a bug, though. I thought it was some normal malfunction. I took off anyway to see what would happen and as soon as a got off the ground, the stall warning started. I flew a bit and came back, using the standard speed indicator - and landed safely, for which I expect a resounding round of applause, of course. As soon as I touched down, the stall warning stopped and below 45knots, the needle went back to it's position. Jan never heard of that with the IXEG or with any real 737?

You lucky bastards. I drive a Fiat Sienna 2001.

I guess you're right. These "improvements" are irresistible sometimes. Ok, thanks a lot for the advises. I'll fix this, if it's the last thing I do!

Unfortunately taking the plugins out didn't solve it. The only fix is to open "show sky colors" and change it either to hialt, or socked etc. Did something mess the "art controls" in the dataref editor? I mess with it only to fix the shadows in the cockpit. So maybe some of the plugins/scripts - true shade or Xvisibility - changed something there and it stayed forever in the dataref? I'm guessing a lot. But my next try would be to reinstall, trying to redo the dataref or something? What's strange is that it was fine before. It started after the last Gizmo install, which I chose the stable one. Should I go with beta? It's not a super big deal, but still....it's a deal.

Holly shhoot. Ha ha. But no, Jan. They're not drivers, they're "automation managers". Now THAT was mean. Come on, AB guys! Just joking.

Hmm. Ok, will do that. (I would say "WILCO", but I'm not a pilot so it would sound too arrogant).

Ha. In that case, here it is. I'm not reluctant, I just didn't want to waste your time with some mistake of mine. I'm noticing something else now, apparently unrelated. I'm doing the FMC and when I enter a waypoint, it hangs for a bit (longer than usual), the waypoint appears and the sound goes up and down a bit, very fast. Like a cough. I know I'm weird, sorry about that. Maybe you'll see something in the log that will make you go "aha". Log.txt

I turned off all lua scripts and no change. Actually I'm starting a flight in Rio and the whole scenery was dark. So I messed with "Sky Colors" (menu/developer/ShowSkyColors) and then I found one preset that brought lights back. I don't know how SkyColors work, but it seems to change depending on.....? Weather? So I set it to "hialt" for the time being, and now I can see! Does that ring any bells with anyone?

Hi, Jan. I thought so too. Maybe X-Visibility, TrueShade or something like this. I'll troubleshoot and if I find it, I'll let you know.

Jan, maybe this is a bug, maybe not. Some instruments lights are really really dim and after takeoff I couldn't see anything without using the flashlight. BUT....after getting some altitude, it fixed itself? Is this normal or is it a bug? I just installed 1.31. Below a before and after pic. Thanks

The guys will respond properly, but I was watching Jan's video and when he talked about center of gravity, it made me wonder if that's not the problem.

The planemaker change works perfect. Thank you, Jan. BetterPushback is back.
