Yes, same thing with me. Downloaded the program once again, but no change. Hydraulics activating every few seconds. Video attached. No feet on pedals & nose wheel is doing its own thing. Switching tiller on or off made no difference. 127908793_2021-04-0616-38-13.mp4

Thanks, it worked but took a bit of practice to find the sweet spot At least I can power up without taking the lazy auto-start way.

I will try that with the cancel button. I have made sure the condition lever was in start but still won't start.

I seem to be having problems starting the right engine. When I first start the left engine and then try to start the right nothing happens. I have tried to start the right first but still the same result. The auto start works OK. I have been following the start procedures closely thinking I may have missed something but can't see where I have. During a couple of test flights if I disengage & then re-engage the AP the Alert signal will not stop even if it re-engages. I have to ignore it and turn down the sound slider. I have re-installed the program in the event something was amiss but still had the same results. Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick response Litjan. Yes there is a work around as you suggest and it's not a real problem to keep the menu out of the way. It had me a bit bamboozled at first as I had only seen this happen once before when flying a shared cockpit in the Zibo. The Avitab virtually took control of the mouse clicks & would not allow the preset views to work on the NumPad. I streamed a flight with the B300 today on YT and that's where it became evident early on before I managed to avoid overlaying Avitab.

So happy to be flying this aircraft once again. Just a minor thing I have noticed. When leaving the Pop Out Menu enabled as default, it only activates when the mouse is moved left to off screen & then it remains against the border up or down. When this is disabled in the preferences & a key/joystick button is assigned in the data refs, the pop up can appear anywhere. I use this preference, but I have noticed that if the menu appears on top of the Avitab screen, not only can you no longer drag it away but none of the menu buttons can be activated while it is sitting on Avitab. The solution is to move the cockpit view so that Avitab & the menu don't overlap. Is this a case where Avitab gets priority with mouse clicks or am I missing something ?

Thanks again for your reply. I normally run in Windows mode because I have 3 screens & need to switch to the odd accompanying program using the Task bar, but I have assigned a joystick button that can switch to wide screen. There was no change to the views. I have solved the problem by changing the FOV setting from 60 to 80 following your suggestion. Oddly it was on 60 with 11.2 & stayed on 60 when I upgraded to 11.3. Go figure. My "slamming" comment was just making light of what was becoming an annoyance to me with always having to use the keyboard comma to move out with most of the checklist views. Again, thanks for solving my problem. Now it's back to the REX cockpit & an outback flight.

Thanks for your reply. I have taken a screen shot of the oxygen control as an example of what is happening. I have checked my plugins and hardly anything has changed except there are 2 recently dated files although I am not capable of deciphering whether their data would have any effect on the Saab views. I realized that the views would have been hard coded which is why I couldn't figure out how they were being messed up unless it was an XP problem or maybe something to do with screen resolution. Would a re-install be a possible solution? Regards. DataRefs.txt Commands.txt

Since upgrading to X-Plane 11.30 I have noticed that when I run through the checklist and click on view I almost slam my face into the panels. I can still zoom in closer but can't pull back with the mouse scroll and have to use the keyboard in/out buttons. Is there a way to return the views to the original default either in the Preferences file or is it something that can be adjusted in XP itself. I don't have any problem with any assigned views to the NumPad as these can be easily edited.

Well, just a reload of XP seems to have done the trick. No need for me to reload the IXEG program & the pop out is there where it should be. As I mentioned before it appears a change in A/C is the trigger.

Second time this has happened when I changed from Zibo B738 while sitting at an airport. What is not visible in the pix in the top RH corner is "LUA Stopped." The Gizmo pop out no longer appears & no buttons can be moved/switched. Last time I (and this time) I reloaded the scripts with no result. Question :- What is the the Hotfix used for & do I need an ID? Also would the message that my software was authenticated popping up when another A/C was loaded have any bearing on the problem....just asking. Last time it all came good after I had exited X-plane & reloaded IXEG so I am about to go through the procedure again with my fingers crossed. Lesson learned......don't swap A/C.

I stand corrected. Yes it should have been Defender advice & I turned it off together with the firewall while doing my tests. They went back on after. Even though I had the exclusion for the X-Plane folder I was still getting the big drop in frame rates with Ver 1.20 when inputting during the flights. Not so now with Ver 1.21...so far so good.

Well I gave the FMC a bit of a workout today between YBHM & YBBN. I deliberately left out the STAR arrival until half way to test how the frame rates would react. With Ver 1.20 my frame rates would drop to near zero while it computed & that was with Windows Firewall turned off as previously recommended. I learned to live with it & to hit the exec button a few times until it woke up & the frame rates went back to normal. My tests with Ver 1.21 revealed the following :- With Firewall off & input in the FMC for Star to RWY 19....no drop in FR...smooth as silk. With Firewall on & change to Star for RWY 01.....occasional drop in FR to 5 but momentary & no freezing. With Firewall off & re-enter Star to RWY19.......no drop again......cool. Wind change meant re-enter Star to RWY 01...Firewall on.....just some minor stutters. Very pleased with the upgrade so far. It means I don't really have to turn off the Firewall. Getting better frame rates up to between 25 & 30 even on my mediocre machine.

Just tried a quick take off from YMML before getting ready for bed. I deliberately left the cargo hatches open (ground handler missed those when doing his check) At just over 10,000' the horn went off and pressure dropped. No 1 engine bleed faulted. I think I noted everything. This A/C is the cat's pyjamas & a joy to fly. I am spending far too much time having fun.

Happy to see that it didn't wipe my liveries or routes. I was sweating there for a while. I will be firing it up shortly.

I found the cold coffee cup, now where did IXEG hide that IFR probe?

Sorry, don't know why the pix ended up in the middle of the text. Must have pushed the wrong button

Hmmm! Not sure I would gain a lot from that pop up. I have already assigned the map mode/range to a hat switch on the stick as the only thing that bugged me was having to look down regularly to turn the knobs. ( I wonder whether real B733 pilots would have to do that? Surely their hands would be able to feel out the knobs just from experience). The mini EHSI appears for a moment no matter which direction you are looking & you will see 2 of them when looking at the display. For me it only then disappears when you move the mouse, hat button, or change views.

I can wait for all the extras that would enhance this fine A/C. Right now as a new simmer to x-plane and after years of PMDG B737NGX I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know the ins & outs of this classic. I have made viewing the EFIS easier without having to look down at the knobs by assigning map mode & range to a hat switch. Cabin door opening would be great as my pax are moaning about having to disembark through the cargo hatches

Same thing happened to me a couple of days ago on an approach. The aircraft suddenly went to cold & dark with the gear down. I am not going to worry about it unless it happens again & then will look at your recommendations. I am hoping it was just a one off hiccup & didn't bother to log it. Today I also noticed that the FMSs & PFDs went "dim" for a few moments & then reset themselves. Very odd. Another question:- I noticed that if I am approaching an airport and enter the Star, the frame rates drop to next to nothing & the sim freezes while the FMS is busy "calculating". After I hit the exec button a few times it carries on :). I now try to enter all the SIDS & STARS before take off & take a chance the approach won't be changed. Would extra memory from 8G to 16G help the frame rate from dropping? Great A/C & I am still learning how to handle it.

This may be a bit late in responding to your problem, so I am unaware as to whether or not you have sorted things out. I would just like to inquire as to if you are using the Logitech drivers for the X-52. I was having all sorts of problems with their drivers even in FSX & Prepar3d & decided to revert back to the original Saitek drivers from Madcatz. That has smoothed things out for me considerably. Don't know why but it has. Perhaps you may have noticed that the joystick mapping in XP11 for the X-52 Throttle has mixed up the throttle slide with Silver Slider. Has them back to front.
