I get paid by the achievement. Not by the hour. Part of the fun of working for yourself.

I'm workin on it Saul. I'm in Australia too. I'd love to spend the weekend NOT logging long hours just as much as you want to spend it flying.

It can be done. Jan has set the priority so it's not very likely that it will be done.

Back in 2010 I had to reformat a Mac Book Pro. I went to the Apple Authorised Reseller. I bought an original DVD copy of Mac OSX in shrink wrap for about $40 retail. I noted on the side in black and white the System Requirements were basically a Mac with a DVD drive of appropriate vintage. I took the disk home and inserted it into my MBP, it chimed, started to boot and froze. Solid. From a $7 billion company. Upon taking this disc back to the store they informed me that a MBP requires a copy of the disc it came with to boot as it has customised drivers. I kindly pointed out to them the black and white printing on the side of the disc I had bought in good faith. ...It took them quite a lot of "convincing" to give me my money back. THAT is a complete sham. While our situation is not ideal it is by no means isolated. We're working in good faith. The info is easily available if you take the time to look for it. Unlike my dealings with Apple the information is NOT a complete blatant utter bare faced internationally executed LIE. Now, if you don't mind... I'll be back to working on getting us all an update as soon as possible. (Funny how the bigger you are the more bs you can get away with in the world. See every big corp ever.)

Dear Mr Mishaikin. For your utter stupidity your reward is my promise to never, ever, port to Linux. The entire X-Plane for Linux world will be redirect to your posts in this thread forever each time they ask. Enjoy your new smell. Sincerely. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/106479-x-aviation-support/&do=findComment&comment=1060996

Scandalous? Have you turned on the news lately?

Just stop. Please. I have no free time for at least two years to consider a Linux release. Earlier this year it looked like I might have time to deal with Linux, events turned out a different way and my time was consumed by other things. Now life has changed, my priorities have changed and Linux is absolutely dead last on my list of things to do. I'd rather wash the dishes. Sorry, that's the honest truth. It'd be more relaxing to get off the PC for half an hour.

How could we possibly accuse Linux users of being pirates when we don't sell anything to Linux users and haven't done for many years?

Stop looking for fights you pathetic troll.

No. It means we're yielding to the operating system from inside the x-plane process. Why even bother stretching this to wasted cpu cycles? You really think I'd do that to you.... Geeze.

If you have gizmo installed open the Cessna 172, go to the gizmo Shell and paste in this command and press enter: gizmo.sleep( 10, 1 ) This will make the gizmo plugin sleep for 10ms every flight loop. Adjust the 10 value to suit. Making gizmo sleep forces X-Plane itself to sleep. This yields some resources to the OS. The CPU sleeps. The GPU gets to catch a breath and MOST IMPORTANTLY ... the system bus gets a breather. The Gizmo Shell will ONLY respond to command when its not loading a payware product like IXEG or the Saab. You can switch to these products after you have entered the sleep command.

This might get you going while you figure out what X-Planes problem is:

I have no idea. Cam's department.

The last iteration of the store had detailed information maintained for each product. This is basically Mac/Windows and NO Linux for Every Product We Stock. For this reason, maintaining the product meta data is a waste of staff time. The very small % of Linux "errors" that result in refund is LESS time expended by staff than it is to maintain the product meta data. If unsure ... email ahead of time. No information was given so you could've easily googled at found that we're not exactly Linux friendly, like, you know, most of the commercial for pay software (and especially gaming) world. Support is unlikely and grows moreso every day. You can thank the latest round of pirating idiots that have forced us ever deeper into the guts of Windows and Mac to push back.

We have thousands of happy customers that have no FPS troubles. The problem is your machine and your configuration. If we had a wide-spread issue with everyone complaining about FPS then we would have an issue to fix. We have one person. You. The problem is your computer and your settings not our product.

We don't use RAR files. I think you're confused about where you purchased from. Try X-Plane.org

The dev's actively read and reply to multiple forums too.

You are the ONLY person reporting this. Reconfigure your machine accordingly or stop trolling. The IXEG product is widely regarded by thousands of other customers as providing extremely good FPS.

...Gizmo update soon too. Might resolve some of the weird bugs we've seen. She's an old project and there's some dusty corners.

quote for notification. see post above.

I'm thinking about adding "magic dataref" support to Gizmo that will automatically wrap-up any custom commands that our products create into datarefs that allow third party plugins to drive our stuff. It's a brewing idea at this point, one that needs investigation to see if it will somehow break Gizmo with asynchronous / multiple command activation activity. I may have some "debounce" issues to work through. Essentially you'd end up with something like: magic dataref: gizmo/magic/cmd/ixeg_737/cmd/name/here When you write a 1 to it, I call the Command Start code. If you hold the 1 value in it for the required amount of time, you'll trigger the Command Hold code. When you return the dref value to 0 I call the Command End code. There seems to be a pretty big demand for this when interfacing with various external plugins.. IF this is added it will automatically add complete retro-active support to our products, this includes the Saab, DC3, Corvalis, MU2, IXEG, etc.

I don't think so. Sorry my post was terse. I was posting an extract of the exact error message for the IXEG team. When I see the words "gizmo crash" I need to read the logs and judge severity. With 10.50 upon us and macOS sierra looming, I'm busy... Thanks for your patience.

error: 3178.342: RunLuaFunction(gui): bake_ehsi: [string "ixeg.733.ehsi.main.lua.aes"]:517: attempt to call a nil value This is an error in the IXEG systems scripts.

This is an XPUIPC problem. We cannot fix it.
