  1. Thank you for the First Officer volume adjustment. Checklist interaction is much more enjoyable, now that other immersive sounds can be heard without the overbearing FO voice. Thanks again!
  2. Can you please followup on this feature request? It is still the case that if I set the FO audio volume to a pleasant level, other sounds like footsteps and door openings are too low. Thanks.
  3. Is there a way to lower the volume of the First Officer as he goes through the checklist, without using the Windows 10 volume control? If I set the Officer's volume to a pleasant level, other sounds like footsteps and door openings are too low. Also, can Windows 10 third-party voices be substituted for the First Officer?
  4. Can Windows 10 third party voices be substituted for the copilot, ground crew, and FBO personnel?

  6. Using SkyMaxx Pro's volumetric clouds with X-Plane 11.51, my FPS goes from high thirties to low forties while flying low over Orbx London scenery (lots of clouds) in the Rotate MD-80, but the flight is very smooth. My system is an i9 9900K running at 4700MHz with an RTX 2080 Ti and 1440p monitor. Keep up the good work.
  7. Webroot is active but never has been a problem before.
  8. I'm stuck in an endless loop, license will not update. Vulkan is enabled with beta version of Gizmo.
  9. Jan, in another thread, suggested that a mod/tweak to artref values (if you used some popular mods) may interfere with “lit” textures for the 737. So I decided to go to Resources\bitmaps and delete the entire bitmaps folder; then I used the X-Plane installer to replace those files. This process was successful. All 737 cockpit lighting works well now.
  10. Text on the glare shield and overhead panel is very difficult to see at night. Rheostats are turned as high as possible. HDR is on. I'm using X-Plane 11.50b10 with Vulkan enabled. Please advise.
  11. Thanks for the reply. I'll continue to monitor the RJ's progress and when it goes final give it another try.
  12. I've tried to follow the nightly build, current aircraft file date is October 13, 2014. Each time I tried to load the last few builds, X-Plane hangs at the point where the RJ100 is loading. As this is a beta, I'm wondering if others have this issue with X-Plane 10.30 and Windows 7 when using the RJ100.
  13. Is this beta referred to as the "nightly update?"
  14. Go to Plugins\Gizmo64\Windows\Preferences and you'll see the tool-tray option. Make sure you have the updated version of Gizmo.
  15. Thanks for the tool-tray toggle, it's very much appreciated.
  16. This is a good interim solution, thank you.
  17. I understand, thanks...
  18. I'd like to prevent Gizmo64 from popping out whenever the mouse nears the screen edge. Unless I'm flying the Saab, the pop-out isn't needed, and interferes with (obscures) overhead switches for other aircraft. Is disabling Gizmo from the Plugins Menu the only way to do this, or only load it when X-Plane starts for aircraft that need it? Now that I've purchased SkyMaxx Pro, Gizmo will always be active; so I only want the pop-out when needed. I'm using Windows 7. Please advise, Vance
  19. See post #9 here: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=70196&hl=kln90b#entry762823 Hope I'm not causing any problems for X-Aviation, simply wanted to share my experience with the KLN 90B. I enjoy the SAAB even more with it :-) Vance
  20. If you'd like another GPS option besides the Fix-to-Fix, the KLN 90B works well here. It will command the lateral guidance in GPS mode, but ground speed (GSP) and time-to-go (TTG) are removed from the EHSI display when you do this. There seems to be no other effect from using the KLN 90B. When there is an aggressive change of direction between two route legs, the autopilot begins the turn and the SAAB will slightly overshoot that turn; then the SAAB will settle nicely on the desired track. Here's a route I flew from Wilmington to Atlanta: KILM ILM BARTL MULLS DWYTE FLO CAE IRQ BEYLO SINCA CANUK HUSKY ZAMAS BOJAA FOGOG SOTRE HESPI WESEK SLAWW KIMMS KATL While the waypoint names and symbols won't appear on the EHSI, the desired track will. XHSI2 is very useful for displaying the entire route and waypoint symbols, and is a good complement to the KLN 90B. So, for those times when you don't want to fly the SAAB the old fashion way, the KLN 90B is another GPS navigation choice. Regarding the aircraft itself, it really feels like a finished product (three years in the making). Well done. Vance
  21. File Name: KILM Flight and Ground Routes File Submitter: Vance File Submitted: 27 Apr 2013 File Category: Plugins and Utilities Air and ground traffic are available for KILM (Wilmington Intl, payware). World Traffic aircraft and start locations are: - KC-10 near gate 7 - F-14 near hanger behind control tower - Columbia near Air Wilmington - C-130 near Customs tarmac A few things to keep in mind. KILM has crossing runways and sometimes World Traffic will place two aircraft on the same taxiway for a head-on collision. The KC-10 is rather large so any aircraft of similar size at gate 5 or 8 will need to taxi before the KC-10 has room to maneuver. The Columbia is hard to see when zoomed out from the airport because the light-colored wings match some taxiway colors. Use the optional object file for red wings on the Columbia. Flight plans begin in the air (not a departure airport) and all KILM runways have been defined; so landing should be possible for any wind condition. Click here to download this file

  23. If you'd like an option to use the Checklister plugin, here's a checklist for the Douglas DC-3. Note that whenever the aircraft is first opened, three check-box items related to the Fuel Tank Selectors are missing the asterisk that indicates copilot support. To correct this go to the Plugins Menu, click on Plugin Admin, select Enable/Disable, then uncheck and recheck the box for Checklister. You can also reload the aircraft to add the three asterisks. Other check-box items missing an asterisk were not defined for copilot support. Naturally, you can check the Fuel Tank Selectors manually and skip the procedures stated above. Feel free to use this clist file as a template to customize the checklist as desired. Regards, Vance clist.txt
