It's Christmas. Show some respect.

... go into your power management settings and turn off "hard drives spin down when idle".

Maybe your hardware plugins are just crap. We can be "friends" if you drop the tone. You'll get a lot further.

You're a paranoid drama queen kicking up a stink over your own personal entitlement issues.

Oh fuck off you pathetic troll.

Thank you for this clue.

I'm paranoid because you're the one that thinks you've been accused of something? I'm making a simple statement of facts. Nothing more. You're the one that wants to read between the lines "interpreting things". This business is hard. I thought I'd offer you some insight into why we don't allow guests. I'm sorry that my offer of information offended you. Now, go to the bank and see if they'll let you open a guest account. I'm sure they'll ask you for 150 points of verifiable cross referenced ID to fight exactly the same problems we have. Go away.

I'm STATING that we require a complete set of profile information for purchase verification and product life cycle. How can you possibly be a pirate when you haven't purchased anything and made a simple enquiry as to why you cannot purchase while keeping your PII to yourself. Why do I bother even trying to share info? So I can get kicked in the teeth? Thanks.

For what it's worth, PMDG wont give you forum support without your real name in your forum signature. I suspect this is so their tech support people can run quick checks to see if people requesting help are actually legit customers.

..so is the amount of piracy, sharing and credit charge backs that we have to deal with.

You can't.

...we delayed it just for you... ..careful what you wish for.

Please submit more information. In English.

Next time please just upload the log files. You've left out all the useful data. (Like everyone always does when they copy and paste. Don't worry, you're not alone.) Install this:

What kind of FPS are you getting? How many sims per frame is your XP install set for? (default is ~2?) Do you have HDR enabled? ...all three of these things might affect this behaviour. Low fps is a classic aggravator for floating point drift. Sims per cycle might be affecting how many times sub system code written by IXEG is called. Same for HDR, depending on where the head shake code is executing inside X-Planes game loop.

Gizmo is self contained. It can be deleted from the plugins folder. The X-Aviation activator for Gizmo products stores it's license file in X-P/X-Aviation/ folder. Registry entry is probably a bit of cruft left from bitrock installer software....

A lonely troll? Don't be so naive. "The straw that broke the camels back."

Lua JIT. Windows defender goes mental with the dynamic scripted systems.

Enjoy every minute of time with your baby. It goes so fast. Before you know it they're a toddler and a whole different handful. Soon you'll be greeted with "Hi Dad, Bye Dad." when she's too busy playing with friends.

Your logs indicated that; - SkyMAXX needs to be upgraded to either 3.3.1 or 3.3.2. Login to X-Aviation to get your update. - The 733 installation has been tampered with, perhaps in frustration with the Sierra upgrade. The pilots object has been deleted and X-Plane is aborting the load of the product. Re-install or restore the pilots object if you still know where it is.

Please post a copy of Log.txt and GizmoLog.txt from your X-Plane folder. You can email these direct to br@x-plugins.com or attach them to a forum post. Thanks.

..and no one elses computer BSOD's either. We're even.

Delete all the copies in your custom scenery folder.

You should only have one copy of Gizmo installed. Keep: X-Plane/Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin Delete: All other copies of Gizmo.

I recently grabbed a $30 "cardboard clone" and was truly shocked by the immersion possible on something like a phone. The content all leaves me wanting but the future is bright... it makes me want to get in and make better content if I cant find some and that by itself is exciting. I don't have a real headset yet, probably wont for a while... it's just not in the budget for $ or time. Thanks for the feedback on the MU2. I can definitely appreciate the subleties of the 3D needles.
