Gentlemen - my CRJ is 100% functional! And I couldn't be more happy! I realized that for the CRJ to work as intended, the Vascor plugin had to be in play, in the root plugins file. But whenever I loaded up with any simple GA or any other plane even one that does not need the Gizmo plugin, every time x-plane crashed to the desktop. Soon as I removed Vascor, no more crashes but without Vascor, the CRJ wouldn't work. So now, I had another brain-storm. Obviously, there was a conflict or conflicts between Vascor and some of the other plugins amongst the collection. So I went through the whole file one by one, simple process of elimination, until I had discovered every plugin that caused x-plane to crash on loadup. Turned out it was only two that had been driving me totally nuts. I would think this will apply to everyone on a Mac that is struggling to get the CRJ going. So I'm passing on this information to the group; remove these two plugins and your problems will be gone. They are "CustomSBDataRefs001Mac.xpl" and CustomSBDatarefs001.ini". These two plugins HAVE to be deleted/removed from the plugins folder. I took screenshots of the panel in daylight & at night, but I don't think we are allowed to send attachments,right?

OK, I think i got it. Remember, I'm on a Mac. That's why I'm wondering what you mean by saying "mac: on your library/usernamed (whatever name you have on your mac) it should be the Frameworks. What should be the Frameworks? Am I to understand I need to have whatever's in the Frameworks folder, put into my "username's Library folder? This step I never did before - who would have dreamed this was needed? Now please don't get me wrong - I think Javier did a bang-up job on the CRJ and it's probably one of the all-time best aircraft for x-plane certainly - maybe FS too (I don't know because I never use MS products unless I'm forced to, like in the office/work situation). OK, meantime I will move Frameworks to my library folder..

OK< I moved the whole take charge folder out of the Heavies folder right to the root folder. I tried running the plane with the CRJAvionics plugins (including the vascor plugin) within the root directory's plugins folder. That did not work - so I moved the whole CRJAvionics with vascor back to the planes root directory. Still the exact same predicament. The mouse operates all the little switches, such as external lights, but when it comes to those big switches like the battery master, nothing doing. No movement whatever, so the screens remain dark and unusable. Do you think I should start yet again, kill the plane, and re-install in XP's root directory? Do you really think this will solve my problem. Right now, I'm just about ready to throw down the towel and call it quits! So I lost 60 bucks. But then I think this is my defeatist side talking - and have to plod on with whatever suggestions you guys can come up with. Stan

Hi-am the proud owner of the new CRJ-200 on a late 2009 Mac Pro. While everything seems fine, I am unable to turn on the main battery, so none of my PFD,MFD,or FMS screens work. They are all completely dark. When I try and manipulate that darn battery switch with the mouse, other than getting the little hand mouse pointer to show up, that battery switch won't move. Can someone please offer some advice to a desperately anxious x-plane nut? While I'm at it, i cannot find the popup regions for any of the screens as well. What the heck am I doing wrong. BTW, let me just say that in order to try & correct all this, I have uninstalled the plane twice, restarted the computer each time, and now that I have reinstalled for the 3rd time, I am still stuck with all of the above problems. Not that I'm whining, of course! Thanks, Stan
