  1. After reading your response and other posts in this thread I realise that I misinterpreted the information posted on the X-Aviation website regarding free upgrades. I apologize for my previous post and thank you for your comments. The $15 upgrade charge is reasonable and I look forward to purchasing the 737 Classic upgrade so I can have this aircraft for X Plane 12.
  2. I will probably pay the $15 to upgrade my 737 but that is not honoring the promise, only partially. I understand the reason but will have to consider if I will be upgrading any of my X-Aviation aicraft for X Plane 12.
  3. I get around this by using xEnviro for my weather engine. It adds the rain effect to any aircraft. Regarding XP12, I'm not planning on going there.
  4. This may be how this aircraft was designed but I noticed that the DIST readout on the HSI only works when a VOR or ILS frequency is dialed in and shows the distance to the VOR or ILS when in VLOC or GPS mode. It does not show the distance to the next flight plan waypoint when in GPS mode. Personally, I would prefer it to show the distance to the next waypoint based on GPS mode. Distance to next waypoint when set to GPS and distance to VOR, ILS when in VLOC.
  5. Well it's working now and came on when I got airborne. So thank you for your assistance. It wasn't working before but seems to be after reinstalling. Also I had gone into xOrganizer and disabled all of my plugins and then enabled them again. Perhaps that did something. Who knows, but it is working now. Thanks.
  6. It happens in all variants but I will try taking off and see if it comes on. It wasn't showing when in the air before. However, I am questioning your comment that it has a weight on wheels function as in one of the videos I watched the readout was zero on the radar altimeter as soon as power was applied to the aircraft.
  7. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not fix the issue. The radar alitmeter window is blank. On videos I have seen of this aircraft, when on the ground the readout should read "0", zero.
  8. On the ground or in the air there is no reading on the radar altimeter. I just uninstalled the aircraft and reinstalled and will see if that helped.
  9. For some reason I am not getting a readout on the radar altimeter. I have tried starting a flight with engines running but the radar altimeter screen is black, no readout. I tried starting cold and dark. Put the key in and turned it on and no radar altimeter readout. Is there a switch somewhere to turn on the radar altimeter (I haven't found one)?
  10. Thank you for that information. An unusual way for the autopilot to work but it works now. Now to figure out how to get the Avitab to work. I just get a blank screen. OK nevermind. I found the power button to turn on the avitab tablet and now have the checklists.
  11. I just purchased the MU-2 Marquise v2 and cannot get the autopilot to engage in NAV mode. I'm flying the GNS 530 vairant. Have a flight plan loaded but after takeoff I cannot get NAV to select. HDG works but NAV does not. What am I missing. I also tried using the Reality XP GTN 750 but it does not couple to the HSI.
  12. Today I purchased the SR22 Entegra and get a VRConfig error whenever I start any of the versions. I have attached my log.txt file. Log.txt
  13. Ah, and I do not have that clicked. Thanks for the info.
  14. I recently purchased the SR22 and didn't even know there was a Milkshake. I saw it in some videos and couldn't find anything about it in the documentation that came with the aircraft. Finally I stumbled across a video where I saw someone click on a region of the glare shield to remove Milkshake. But to your point, I do not see any green heart on my glare shield indicating where to click to show/hide Milkshake. So maybe there was an update that removed that.
  15. Thank you for that information. And I need to correct some of what I wrote before. I checked with other aircraft that have the G1000 and in those where I am able to resize the popup windows they maintain the size of those popups for the flight but the size of the popups return to the default when a new flight is started. That is also the way the popups work in your aircraft. However, in other aircraft when I click on the PFD or MFD to generate the popup those come up within the screen area. In your aircraft they do not in all cases. In fact, many times, depending on my current view and how I click on the MFD or PFD the popups many times come up off halfway or more off the screen and have to be moved so they are entirely visible. That would corroborate what you said that they popup based on the mouse pointer position, something other aircraft do not do. As I mentioned I can move my viewpoint so that the PFD or MFD is in the middle of the screen before clicking on them to bring up the popups so they are not off the screen. So that works, but is just a little more inconvenient as I do not have to do this with other aircraft. But thank you for your replied and the information you provided.
  16. I configured buttons on my joystick controller for the PFD popup with bezel and MFD popup with bezel. Both popup on my main monitor. When I press those buttons the popups don't come up in a consistent position and when I reposition them the don't popup in the location I moved them to. Very surprised at this. I did discover that I can click on the PFD and MFD and have them popup the that is messed up as I have to center the PFD or MFD on my screen view before clicking on them to get them to popup where I can see the entire PFD or MFD. Again, very surprised that this issue even exists. In order for me to use the control unit I have to configure a view of the control unit so that it is large enough for me to see it. I am 67 years old and have a vision issue in one eye, so things don't appear clearly unless they are enlarged. Once I switch to the control unit view then I popup the MFD and move it so that I can use the control unit. Another thing is that if I resize the PFD and MFD popups they do not remember the new size so when I start a new flight they are back to the original size. I am using dual 27" monitors with P3D running on the primary one. With other aircraft this is not an issue as the popups are either large enough for me to see them clearly or maintain the size if resized.
  17. Hello, I just purchased the Take Command SR22 and am a bit disappointed with some features of the aircraft. Initially I set up close up views for the PFD and MFD and was then trying to find a popup for the keypad so I could enter information into the displays (namely entering flight plans into the MFD) but I couldn't find any popup for the keypad so that is the first disappointment. Second I then setup key shortcuts for the PFD and MFD popups. But those don't remember the positions I move them into so both are a real pain in the tail end. Is there any way to have those popups (with bezels) retain their positions? Or is there a popup for the keypad? Thanks.
  18. I believe I have come up with a solution that will at least work for now. I changed over to Vulkan and started X Plane 11. I then changed TerraMaxx to each of the settings (Auto, Summer, Autumn, Mid Winter, Deep Winter) exiting X Plane after each change since TerraMaxx does not update the settings.dat file unless X Plane is exited. I then copied each of the individual settings.dat files to separate folders, one for each setting. Then I changed the properties of each of those files to make them read only. I then changed over to OpenGL and started X Plane 11. TerraMaxx now retains the settings in the settings.dat files since it cannot overwrite them. So depending on the season I will have to copy over the appropriate settings.dat file depending on the time of the year. But the file permissions are still the same for the TerraMaxx and SeasonsXP folders regardless of whether X Plane 11 is in OpenGL or Vulkan so I can't explain it either why it isn't working as expected. My only thought is if it is related to some change LR made in 11.50 as it relates to Windows 10 2004 which I am running as 2004 broke some other plugins which needed to be updated for that Windows version. Update. I normally like to keep TerraMaxx in Summer so that my winterized ortho textures stay in Summer and I used a weather engine to create seasons for Autumn and Winter as it works on all scenery types. So I just tried copying the Summer settings.dat file over and started X Plane and then tried changing over to Autumn and then exiting. I was glad to see that TerraMaxx was still set to Summer when I restarted X Plane. So this workaround will do for now.
  19. If your's is working and mine is not then it's probably a profile issue in Windows 10 (I am running Windows 10 2004). That would require I create a new profile and them most likely have to reinstall things, which isn't worth it. So for now TerraMaxx is unusable for me unfortunately. I do not have any other issues with X Plane that I am aware of so it's not worth going through any more to fix it at this time. It's a shame that Windows 10 is so self-corrupting that it breaks things every time there is a major windows update. But this sort of thing should not be profile related. The installation should be straight forward so perhaps something is not quite correct with the permissions set up by the TerraMaxx installation. Whatever the case i will not be using TerraMaxx any more.
  20. Thank you for your suggestions. I have already disabled all plugins except TerraMaxx and it still worked the same way. Of course disabling probably isn't the same as removing the plugins. So I renamed my X Plane 11 folder and did a clean install to a new folder, installed TerraMaxx along with the X-Aviation plugin. Still had the same issue in Open GL. So I guess I'm done for now because I am definitely not reinstalling Windows 10 for this issue. I will just have to remove TerraMaxx and do witnout.
  21. Welll I guess so much for using TerraMaxx any more.
  22. So here is what I have discovered. If I use Vulkan then TerraMaxx maintains the settings. If I switch over to Open GL then it does not. I want to use Open GL because the weather engine I use only supports Open GL.
  23. So I'm doing some additional testing. I verified the integrity of the game files and as expected 150 or so files failed to verify and were reacquired. This is caused by my use of one or two addons that enhance the airport textures (Airport Layout Enhancement Solution and Airport Enhancement Package). Once the files were reacquired I started X Plane 11.50r3 and changed TerraMaxx from OFF to Auto. After the textures were installed I exited and restarted X Plane. TerraMaxx had retained the Auto setting. I was in Vulkan. I exited and restared and it was still in Auto. I switched to Open GL and changed over to Summer. Exited and restarted and it was still in Summer. From this it would seem that something in one of the two airport enhancement packages I use was causing the issue. I will continue to troubleshoot to see which one is causing the issue. Update. I spoke too soon. Just started a flight in Open GL in X Plane and TerraMaxx is back to OFF. Haven't reinstalled any airport enhancement textures.
