It could well be that the reflective surfaces in the cockpit make you use more than the 2 GB of VRAM that you have - this would severely slow down the framerate. In this case you can try to lower your resolution setting in the X-Plane rendering options menu. With 2GB of VRAM your current VRAM use should not be more than ca. 1.8GB or so - or you risk severe slowdowns. Cheers, Jan

Hi - the progress page and waypoint time and fuel calculation is still WIP and will not work right all the time, yet. Cheers, Jan

Hmm, this is weird...

ok, we are investigating and should have a solution soon... Jan

Can you try to run without the "show vortices" option enabled in the preferences menu and see if the issue persists? Thanks, Jan

We will investigate - try to disable your "draw vortices" function in the preferences menu for now? Cheers, Jan

Not surprisingly. We didn´t change anything pertaining to that issue. Workaround for now: Don´t use the IXEG view presets, save your own presets in X-Plane (use ctrl + numpad to save, numpad alone to recall) Jan

Hmm, Ben/Cameron may have more insight on what is happening. Possibly an installation path issue? Jan

XP 11 problem, will be fixed with next beta. Roll back to stable version (i.e. no VR beta) to get the lights back or wait for next beta. Jan

Cameron is sleeping right now - he will be able to look at stuff tomorrow. However - if windows is not giving you permission to access, this is most likely a problem on your end. Possibly try to run the process as administrator? Cheers, Jan

Thanks - to save yourself the trouble of reporting all the bugs that are not fixed (yet) you may want to read the list of fixes for 1.21. If your favourite bug is not on the list, it is not fixed. Cheers, Jan

This is an X-Plane fault with the VR beta and will be fixed with the next update to X-Plane. Jan

Hrm... out of ideas, really (also on windows, and havent heard this one before). What if you detach the AirFMC? Maybe it is blocking the keys somehow? Jan

No, the log would not show anything, I think. As far as I know, the buttons on the CDU are using exactly the same "click" technology as other buttons in the cockpit (like the AP buttons, for example). Does zooming in to the CDU help? Are you using a 4K resolution? Cheers, Jan

Very odd - as you know, we haven´t had any update for a while (yeah, I know...), so I would expect the problem to be on your end (new drivers, new OS version, new screen resolution, some mouse-pointer option change, etc.) Cheers, Jan

We override the X-Plane fuel slider settings - so you can´t really refuel in the air. Sorry. Cheers, Jan

That is correct!

Hi, while I haven´t checked explicitly for ENGM, a lot of times STARs and TRANSitions nowadays live "side by side". It is not like in the old times (or in the US) where you have a STAR TRANSITION - then - STAR - then - TRANSITION - then - APPROACH - then - RUNWAY. IF you look at EDDF, for example, you have many PSA STARs (starting at PSA), but also many PSA TRANSITIONs (starting at PSA). If you choose a PSA STAR and then a PSA transition, the STAR will be erazed again. Cheers, Jan

Hi Blue Nose - thanks for the report! We have not heard of anything like this before, so lets hope that it was just a transient quirk and will never come back! Please keep us posted, Jan

I think you think wrong. The plane works fine on fullscreen 4K (I run it in that configuration) - and if it doesn´t on yours, it is probably a problem with your screen, your system or the X-Plane program itself. You said yourself that it is working for you "after switching monitors". To accuse us of misleading a customer is a pretty serious accusation. Jan

Thanks for the info - I never ran X-Plane on multiple monitors, so I can´t verify or troubleshoot the problem - as far as detecting the "left border" goes I think that should be up to X-Plane to determine, our code is relatively simple, afaik. It "may" be worth sending them a bug report on this as well. I will nevertheless file your request to "disable" any popups as a feature request, I can see the worth for "purist" fliers, as well. I had an add-on once that constantly displayed a little "cobwheel" in the corner to access the options. I needed the screen blank for some video-work, though... Jan

Hi, just so I understand - how do you trigger the menu without mouse? It is not shown by default, but only shows up when bumping the mouse against the edge? Are you talking about the IXEG menu (left edge) or Gizmo menu (right edge) or both? If you let me know I can put this in the wish-list...it would have to be a pretty "unobvious" way to disable it (per dataref, possibly), so users can´t turn it off by accident. Cheers, Jan

Great footage, guys! Cheers, Jan

Hi Tom, just like in the real plane, the bank angle limit selector only has an effect in HDG mode. In VOR/LOC and LNAV bank is always limited to 30 degrees, regardless of the bank angle limiter. The only way to avoid high bank angle during cruise would be to fly the turns in HDG mode (with the limiter set to 10 deg, maybe), or in manual flight. This sounds a bit like too much trouble, but I flew with a Captain once that made it a habit to always "cut the corner" a bit in HDG mode, fantasizing about how much fuel and time he saves for our company.... One of the toughest skills to master as a First Officer is when to just keep your mouth shut and nod and say "wow, that is a great idea, Captain" - and when to say "I have control! Go-around!" Jan
