  1. Hi airfighter- many thanks for getting back to me. I've attached some screenshots, taken after I removed the Skymaxx Pro and Skunkcrafts Updater from the XP11 folder; hope they are useful. I've always been conscious that my trusty Mac is rather lacking in the VRAM department- unfortunately iMacs can only add RAM rather than VRAM and 2GB VRAM is the standard graphics card. That said my system has coped remarkably well with some of the most up-to-date aircraft- especially the GA models- with RAM boosted to 24GB. I'm familiar with the problems associated with low frame-rates and have found a difference between low frame rates, such as 16-19 FPS and the extremely low FPS experienced with the Sundowner- which is tantalisingly nice when I've been able to muster enough FPS to get it in the air! This is why I asked the community for help because a on a number of occasions critically low FPS has been associated with a plug-in conflict- eg Librain which has known issues with Macs. There doesn't seem to be a Librain plug-in in the Sundowner so back to the drawing board... If you are able to make the Sundowner 'lighter' on FPS I would be immensely grateful but realise that this is a lot to ask for a small number of customers- perhaps a 'heavy' and 'light' version like Colimata did with their Concorde?
  2. Hi. Many thanks for your reply. I've attached the log file, which might mean something to someone who knows about computers! I've experimented with plug-ins- my system doesn't like running the Sundowner with Skymax Pro at all- removing this gives me 37 fps on low graphic settings with virtually no cloud selected in the weather menu. Looking out the cockpit side window towards airport scenery or significant terrain (mountains, etc) will cause the frame rate to drop to about 20fps and stuttering occurs- same at about 2,000 ft. I frequently run aircraft from other developers with similar system demands and get by by just reducing the graphics settings- I can even run Colimata's Concorde, with it's complex systems without too much trouble. System Specs are: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 24 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB Here are the log files. Any help would be much appreciated!

  3. Hi. The C23 looks really nice but my Mac is seriously struggling with it - frame rates no more than 1-3 fps, even with low graphic settings. Changing the graphic settings doesn't make any difference which leads me to suspect another issue; on some aircraft, for example I've found removing the 'librain' plug-in solves a similar problem. Has anyone else experienced this and were you able to deal with it? Many thanks, in anticipation...
  4. Hi The LES DC3 is superb! I've never flown a DC3 -and never likely to :-( - but the 'feel' of this model is great and I really enjoy 'flying' it. Just one little question- the adjustment knob for the altimeter seems to make the tiniest adjustments per turn and moving from 2886 to 3090 (for example) takes an eternity- is this a fault with my copy or is that how it's meant to be? Many thanks- looking forward to the next LES product! Steve
  5. Hi One for you Mac users out there... I'd like to buy the LES DC 3, which looks pretty awesome but due to installation issues on a previous purchase I need to be sure that the DC 3 will install on my computer. If you're a Mac user running OS Sierra 10.12.4 and have successfully installed the DC 3 I'd love to hear from you! Kind regards Steve
  6. Hi Hoping someone can help... I purchased the MU-2 from X-Aviation and downloaded the installation software. When I tried to install the MU-2 I got the following error message: “Installer payload initialisation failed- possible incomplete or corrupt download file” I tried the download link again thinking perhaps the file had not transferred correctly while in transit but the result was the same. I submitted a Support ticket to X-Aviation on 31 March 2017 but have not yet had a response. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, was there a solution? I use an iMac, running OS Sierra 10.12.4 Many thanks, in anticipation Steve
