https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/password_forgotten.php Change it to something else. I've never figured out exactly what causes this bug because I can't exactly ask people "What's your password? What special chars does it have in it?" Changing it to something else that has basic letters, numbers and "simple" special symbols (North American character set) should work fine.

Stick to Carenado's product range, their in depth complexity is probably more suited to your attitude.

Bear in mind that the LES Saab v1.x is now 5.5 years on the market:

Gizmo handles the data download function for RWC. Gizmo does not currently support HTTPS. This will affect XP10 and XP11. An update of some kind will be required.

Expect more problems in two weeks when the license wants to be rechecked. Move xplane out of program files folder permanently.

You have xplane installed in c:/program files x86/... Windows protects this folder and is likely causing glitches. Move the xplane folder somewhere else. Try your desktop for now or somewhere inside your user folder.

Perspective is also important. How much did you spend on groceries last time you shopped? How much does it cost to fill your car? The amount of fuss people make about the cost of software products with free updates lasting years relative to the other expenses in life would be laughable if it wasn't so depressing.

I asked for a loyalty discount at the gas station today. They told me to get lost.. Rip off merchants.

Do you have an anti virus package installed? Recently (in the last six months) we've started seeing that anti virus packages are silently blocking HTTP communications on Windows machines. Adding an exception for X-Plane to allow it to use http comms generally fixes the problem. Can you please also provide your GizmoLog.txt from the X-Plane folder, this will show a little more information about your problem. Thanks..

I think the underlying message is that the team is busy with various family and professional commitments and that any form of commitment or projection of future plans for release are likely to setup expecations within the community that might not be fully met as life unfolds. It's better to publish the feature list contained in an update, and a date of availability for the update, when the update is actually ready to publish. This keeps expectations and promises more realistic. The community also needs to bear in mind that while some key members of the team are busy with high profile obligations their pre-existing products have been supported in the market for 10 years with free updates. The IXEG project was purely self driven with no funding at all for five years before release. The technologies it relies on are created and maintained by myself, and I've been in the X-Plane arena for nearly 15 years. In short: "Reports of IXEG's death are greatly exagerrated."

Don't give away all the secrets at once, Jan.

Log file is very strange. Contains several different days of data indicated by timestamp. Truncated. Very odd.. Try rebooting your computer... X-Plane might be stuck as a zombie process somehow. Might be an easy fix while you wait for more advice.

Default airplanes use the new xp audio engine. The Saab uses custom code designed for Xp10. I've requested feedback from Laminar.

This is likely a bug with Xplane 11 and it's new audio engine. The Saab has been on the market for five years and these are the first two reports we've had of this bug. Will raise with Laminar but your patience is appreciated.

You can install a second copy of xplane using the xp demo installer.

You can safely ignore the gizmo error message.

https://www.harveynorman.com.au/htc-vive-virtual-reality-kit-consumer-edition-version-2-coal-black.html $939 AU dollars. To support a small but vocal fraction of the market. Then there's the issue of the hardware you own to run it. Buying a headset does NOT magically upgrade your PC. This isn't AAA games dev where we make $250 million dollars on launch weekend. I have a VIVE, I paid some $700 for it. My hardware is barely capable of utilising it. (970M GPU, Laptop.) It is mostly unusued and is currently boxed because life circumstance dictates that I don't have the space to set it up. Thankfully I have a laptop so I can remain productive even with limited space. Everything is a trade off.

Try deleting this folder: D:\Xplane/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/projectFLY

Craig, you need to move past the drama and focus on your actual technical issues. Rehashing the past is a waste of everyone's time.

Probably your anti-virus blocking Gizmo from contacting the X-Aviation servers. We've been seeing this recently. See if you can add an exception to allow Gizmo/X-Plane to use HTTP networking features in your AV software.

The above screenshot is all the information I have. I assume a future xplane update will resolve the issue. Possibly even 11.30.

Glad to hear you got it working. I posted my advice after some quick googling for the error message and wasn't aware that FGLRX is deprecated. The results I found led me to the post I made..

You need to switch to the AMD FGLRX driver. The open source driver is lacking full support for the GL code the product uses.

Bugs with beta releases of X-Plane should be reported to Laminar. They broke it.
