Don't try and be smart by clipping your Log file. You left out all the information I actually need. My guess is you have the dev-beta version of Gizmo64 installed. If you want further help upload a complete set of data.

There's nothing weird there. Your scenery is broken and x-plane is telling you exactly why.

ALL time zones. We're an international community. Like the rest of the internet.

Install an up-to-date copy of the demo, from the Internet. DO NOT use your discs. http://www.x-plane.com/downloads/x-plane_10_demo/

Thanks for reporting the additional details. The dev-beta version of Gizmo64 (14.12.x) uses a re-written dataref engine so perhaps this has already been resolved. If you can share the FWL script with me it might help in future. Thanks again!

Odd. Let us know if you can reproduce it. Never heard of anything like this.

Are there snakes?

The fix item should be labelled more like this: - Fixes issues where the the previously loaded aircraft may leave things like rheostats and light switches in the off position. The previous aircraft can affect the current aircraft via values left in the global x-plane datarefs. Nothing more. These datarefs may be tweaked by SASL, Python, C, or simply via cockpit buttons knobs and switches. The mention of the word "Carenado" was an unfortunate coincidence. Does that help explain it some more?

For reference, this is FS4. Some respect is appropriate. You will be treated with all that you deserve. Maybe go book yourself an eye test?

Information about which aircraft and other products you're using at the time is very important. Without the information all anyone can do is guess. Yes. Stuttering happens. There are many reasons for it.

I'm pretty sure Michael could care less what you do with your motions.

When it "is" us it tends to explode exponentially.. There'd be a _lot_ more noise on the forums if there were wide spread reproducible problems with any part of our products. I acknowledge that there are definitely rare cases where an individual users machine just will not want to play ball, when these things happen we are forced to go by the numbers. If the problem is widely reported then it is very likely us and receives immediate time and resources to resolve. If the problem is not widely reported then it is usually some kind of misconfiguration on the target machine. This may be X-Plane, the OS or the hardware itself. It can and does happen, but it's very very rare. At this time I feel it is fair to say that your reported issues fall into the latter camp, they are not widely reported. We have very few error reports about anything. Those that are "open" are usually VRAM-squeeze related and can be resolved by tuning on the side of caution. Thanks for your understanding. I'm sorry if I'm overly defensive but these things can explode into unsubstantiated rumor very quickly. Cheers. Ben.

Please expand on "aware of issues on Gizmo which is used as part of your product." There were issues, a long time ago. These have been fixed. This is public knowledge. The very small number of people that have issues is literally 0.001% or LESS of installs. As for X-Planes VRAM summary, it's also widely known that it's not very useful. It reports only a small subset of what x-plane itself uses and nothing at all useful about what other plugins are using. You need to be willing to troubleshoot in a demo install copy. Taking a position of fiddling about "before you mess with scenery" when you've been specifically advised to "mess with scenery" is frustrating and counter productive. If you have further current facts and links to back your assertions about Gizmo than I am more than willing to hear it publicly and investigate. Good luck.

Think of all the updates, features and improvements we could have missed out on while Laminar did a poor job of duplicating the enormous data pools being collected by OSM and other collective mapping sources that Laminar is building on for the future. Clearly the programming talents of Laminar would be much better used if they were to be focused on surveying the world instead of writing tools to use the data that others can collect. So sad.

Obvious is as obvious does.

The first rule of Flight Club is: You do not talk about Flight Club.

Thanks for the link...

...nothing like a summer storm to break the hot stagnant heat.

Probably an obscure PNG sub-format. Open it with a tool that can tell you detailed information about color channels, compression and other meta-data. Try converting the file into a standard RGB(A) 8 bit per channel format using Photoshop/whatever and see if X-Plane will load it.

Night and day difference. Beautiful example.

In related news: I released a new build of Gizmo64... this new plugin release brings us closer to the final update package. Not very exciting but still relevant.

You go first.. I'll be there in about five... releases.
