Your log indicates that you need to upgrade xplane to the latest version. The tbm is looking for features that older xplane does not have.

Remove xpuipc entirely.

Post a complete copy of Log.txt as an attachment.

The only product I'm aware of that was distributed without an installer is the piagio avanti which is a freeware demo product. Clicking the update notice box should hide it.

Attempts to contact the xpuipc author were unsuccessful. Xpuipc is unsupported and known to cause issues. Removal or exploring older versions are your only options.

It's a side effect of a recent forum upgrade.

@Coop

The Saab is 8 years old and has been upgraded through multiple xplane versions for free.

Copy the scripts folder from one of the other variants into the Airborne folder.

"Re-run your product installer to get any update."

Hitstart products make heavy use of multi threading and graphics driver features that other products do not use. The products you are comparing to do not use these features. Your comparison is only skin deep. Both of your issues are probably fixable by using xplane in opengl mode. You probably aren't willing to do this because of fps drop. The root cause of the issue is the AMD drivers.

Change your Windows display scaling settings to 100%.

Gizmo is functioning as designed.

What part of "am not going to discuss this further" are you confused about? Rhetorical.

Thank you for the Log file. It appears Gizmo is working correctly and is able to talk to the x-aviation servers. A configuration issue with your PC is blocking it from writing to the license file to save it to disk though, as indicated by these lines in the Log.txt; 0:01:52.741 G64: debug: GK: RX license data from server. 0:01:52.742 G64: debug: Toast Message:(type:error) (X-Aviation Licensing) / (Could not save license data.) Please follow this guide to "take ownership" of your X-Plane folder ensure your file system permissions are correct: https://www.laptopmag.com/au/articles/take-ownership-folder-windows-10-using-file-explorer (You stated that you have "Full Control" but sometimes simply moving a folder out of "Program Files" is not enough...) If you have run a "take ownership" operation on your X-Plane folder in its new location and still cannot get the license data to save correctly we might have a plugin clash. Having looked through the Log provided the only items that stand out to me are: - Loaded: C:\Users/Captain Dudley/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/A-Better-Camera/win_x64/A-Better-Camera.xpl (net.llic.brat.abc). - Loaded: Custom Scenery/Sedona UHD/plugins/XCD_Scenery_Technology/64/win.xpl (XCD.ST.SXP-PA.KSEZ). If the "take ownership" operation outlined in the above guide does not resolve the issue: 1. Please try disabling the "a better camera" plugin. This is best done by creating a "disabled" folder inside "X-Plane/resources/plugins/" and moving the entire "X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/A-Better-Camera/" folder into the new disabled folder. Disabling the plugin from inside X-Plane once it has loaded is not enough. 2. Please try flying in a different location so that the "Sedona UHD" scenery is not loaded and it's plugin is not loaded either. You may need to select a different location in the sim then restart the sim to ensure that the Sedona UHD plugin has never been loaded in sim. All plugins share a global pool of resources and cross contamination is just a fact of x-plane life. It's annoying but we have no control over it. Hope that helps.
