Ernest, I don't think you turned notifications on. You sent me another post, but did not read my response above.

Ernest, the developer's name is Coop. X-Aviation is acting as a sales agent for the company (AFM) that develops this, I believe. Join the threshold forum (AFM Support Forum) and then you can make a post there. Coop is aware of the problem, and he told me he is working on a fix. Couldn't hurt for you to make your voice heard there as well. I'm as annoyed as you are. I spent over $500 for a RealSimGear gtn 750 bezel, so that I could increase my level of immersion. So, without a doubt, I would not have purchased this plane w/o that option. Here's the link to my posts about the problem at the developer's forum, so please add your voice to mine: https://forum.thresholdx.net/topic/2062-reality-gtn-750-not-in-m20-ovation-ii-panel/

I just bought the M20 collection. The GTN is not integrated in the panel for me either. The GTN integration was the top reason I bought this product. It would be nice if someone could give us some definite information about this!

I have Reality XP 750 installed in Xplane. It works with other planes that use this add on. However, with the M20 Ovation II, all I get is the Garmin 530. I can get the Reality XP popup, but there is no integration with the aircraft panel, which is the main reason I bought it! Shouldn't this be working automatically as IT DOES with all my other aircraft that use it? WHAT GIVES? Removed my plugins, and STILL doesn't work! Log.txt

Hi, I also have 32GB, and a I have a 1080 video card with 12GB of video memory. No add-on sceneries, except for 2 airports (which I wasn't flying to). The plugins I'm using are commonly used.

Well, the only plugins I have running are X-Camera, XPUIPC, Fly with Lua (tried with and w/o a script - no difference), Sim Coders - Head Shake, Skunk Crafters loader and X-Raas. I have to run SASL plugin with the Eclipse. But, when I fly the Premier 1a I deleted it. No difference. The airport plugins were all turned off. So, that's it for plugins. There are thousands and thousands of people that run those plugins: they are quite common. I run them because I use TrackIR, and they make TrackIR more functional (X-Camera and Head Shake). The simple truth is I value TrackIR more than I value SMP. I spent over $4,000 on the computer with the most up-to-date video card at the time (one year ago), and most people run many, many more plugins. There are people having problems with SMP, but not all report them on this forum, or even bother to report them at all. There are plenty of complaints on the X-plane forum. Some people love it, and some people hate it, claiming it kills their FPS. My FPS with SMP was actually decent, even slightly better when it was running compared to X-Plane's weather handling. The main problem was when it repositioned cloud layers it caused X-plane to crash. This seemed to happen when I was getting ready to land, after flying for about an hour or so. Very, very frustrating! It seems that the solution should not be to turn off all the features I really like (which are the half dozen plugins I use) to get SMP to work. If I had a corrupt installation, then very likely more than just SMP would be affected.

I've reduced "cloud area covered" to the minimum, am using very few plugins, and have reduced my graphic settings. My video drivers are up to date. I have no choice but to remove SkyMaxx Pro, as I cannot complete a flight with it. I got the usual SkyMaxx Pro: Coordinate system changed; repositioning cloud layers."" right before x-plane crashed.

Removed RealWeatherconnector and added gizmo64 plugin and x-plane crashed while SkyMaxxPro was working with cloud layers. SkyMaxx Pro: Changing cloud conditions.

This time I added RealWeatherConnector and x-plane crashed. Log.txt METAR.rwx

Hi Frank, So, I disabled most of my plugins and it didn't crash this time. I took out RealWeatherConnector. As I noted previously, The crash occurs after: SkyMaxx Pro: Coordinate system changed; repositioning cloud layers. The log showed no change in the coordinate system or repositioning of cloud layers. Would that be because I removed RealWeatherConnector which may be causing SkyMaxxPro to reposition cloud layers? I notice that before a crash there's like a giant pause or freeze. Now, the next time I run it, I will run it with RealWeatherConnector and see how that works. Craig Hardy Log.txt

I'll try disabling some of my plugins, and see what happens. I don't really want to disable them all, as there are a few that I value more and won't fly without.

Tried different aircraft. Doesn't seem to matter. Tried with many different METAR files as well. When I disable SkyMaxx Pro, the crashes stop. The crash occurs after: SkyMaxx Pro: Coordinate system changed; repositioning cloud layers. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, hopefully the fix is this week. My graphic options are: Unused, Full screen Monitor, Instructor Operating Station and 2D Panel only. Windowed Simulator is not an option, and gives too much distortion anyway. I'm running 3 monitors.
