Are you running X-Plane inside some kind of virtual machine? GL Driver is "Mesa" And there's this in the log: 0:00:00.000 I/NET: OS has RFC 4941 Privacy Extensions for IPv6 *enabled*, using TEMPORARY IPv6 addresses 0:00:00.000 I/NET: Ethernet (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V) 192.168.1.175 0:00:00.000 I/NET: vEthernet (WSL (Hyper-V firewall)) (Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #2) 192.168.16.1 0:00:00.000 I/NET: vEthernet (Default Switch) (Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter) 172.21.240.1 0:00:00.000 I/NET: Ethernet (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V) fd7d:46f3:8d8c:8e:186a:33e9:2b48:9035 0:00:00.000 I/NET: (RakNet) Init: Successful! If yes, did you run your browser-screenshot-proof test in the same VM or outside it from your normal desktop? Might be somehow related to IPV6/V4. I've seen some really irritating IpV6 issues on Starlink where Win10/11 hosts don't get a proper IPV4 address and cant access large parts of the internet.

Hi everyone, I've got some videos to share that demonstrate a project I've been working on, and I'd love to get your feedback to see if there's interest in further development. FlowGraph is currently a minimum viable product capable of making tech demos, but it needs more work to become a fully-fledged product. First, we have code generation. Many people enjoy tinkering or generating custom scripts for their sim. I hope FlowGraph can be useful for hobbyists and artists alike. While experienced coders might not see much value in it, it can help team members express systems logic more easily. Second, there's a demo for creating an electrical network config file for Saso's "lib elec." This should enable more in-depth electrical systems for future products. As mentioned, it's only a tech demo in early beta. Please leave any comments or feedback you have.

Gizmo-LTS is fully functional without a serial. You can download and try it free of charge. If it provides you benefit/improvement and you want to get rid of the nag dialog you can buy a serial number.

Had a look at the code.. This message will only throw an error like this if it's not receiving data from the activation server. (0 byte response) This is indicated by the "No internet connection" message. Yes the red text being thrown is a bug. The code should handle this more gracefully. Doesn't change the fact that gizmo can't talk to the activation server because of your internet connection though. Figure out the internet connection problem and this message should not appear.

This is probably the wx radar or terrain mapping functionality..

If you have the "X-Aviation.plugin" that I published in your main plugins folder and have now added the gizmo LTS plugin this might be the source of the problem.

You haven't activated the product. There is a possible conflict with; G:\X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/FM Remove it and retry if you have problems using the xa activation gui.

Gizmo is very likely to be the cause. Early in the release we did some deep digging into the issue. There is code inside gizmo that calls sleep(0)... (the reasons for which is beyond the scope of this reply) Windows, at its discretion, can sleep for upto 16ms/whatever it needs to service the rest of the OS/apps. This can show up as dropped frames or massive perf chugs. There is a command line option for xplane to leave some cores alone so the os can service itself on those. It helps but the real solution is to fix gizmo.. I have been working on a gizmo update that is based on the three? Year old version that X-Aviation ships. It contains bug fixes for the most prominent issues (including this one) but is mostly an LTS update. It will also have Apple silicon support. I hope we can bring it to you all as an update soon.

Sonoma + Rosetta and the plugin is still working OK. Might be Sonoma + Intel causing an issue. Quite strange.

Thanks for the Log.txt It tells me exactly why Gizmo has decided to quit. I have contacted Laminar to ask for further details... I have tested XP 12.09-rc5 under Rosetta and Gizmo is still working for me. It may be something to do with your macOS version. A fix may require an update to Gizmo....

It's both. The bug/problem is most prevalent when your hardware is under heavy system load.

@Cameron how common is this bug?

This is a rare bug and I've never been able to create a set of rules that will trigger it. For most people it is not a problem. What is your FPS like in the sim when this bug appears?

This is not a runtime libraries problem. It is a bug with the old "global" version of Gizmo.

Make sure any of the plugins and addons that use SASL are up to date. A while ago the SASL plugin was providing the functionality that OpenAL.dll should. The most recent copy of their plugin (3.16.4) that I just checked fixes this. Legacy X-Plane sound is a mess. X-Plane 12 dropped OpenAL support so a bit of pain was expected as everyone completes their product update cycles.

The screenshot you have attached is too compressed to be readable. Please attach a complete copy of Log.txt from your xplane folder.

GizmoLog.txt was retired. All info is reported in log.txt

Sid @ Laminar has added additional diagnostics code and the "error being raised" is by design. Different behaviour between Windows and Mac graphics driver stacks is normal and further compounded by Vulkan(+Zink) for Windows / Metal for Mac. User with a problem is running Windows.

All plugins share each others memory space. Some combinations work, some don't. The code paths that run and resources that get loaded vary for each combination. Some plugins seem more likely to trigger problems but this is a wide spread issue in ALL software, it seems more apparent in X-Plane because we have multiple plugins sharing memory where a modern Operating System prevents multiple _apps_ sharing memory. https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-70-percent-of-all-security-bugs-are-memory-safety-issues/

Try removing T:\X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/DataRefTool_XP11_2021_07_14/ Skunk Crafts updater is also logging some weird glitches; ...and then later on Gizmo is logging that your license is out of date by ~50 years, but the start of the Log.txt shows that your system clock is correct. I would start with DatarefTool and SkunkCraft updater but you may need to remove most of your plugins to figure this out. There's a bunch of weird stuff going on.

You have the beta “split plugins” version of gizmo/x-aviation drm installed. The global XA drm plugin is detecting this and forcing the sim to quit. you will need to remove xp/resources/plugins/x-aviation.plugin to resolve this quickly. you have the option of re-reading the beta plugin install instructions to resolve this with more work and with continued use of acf-gizmo
