VirtualAviator

Welcome aboard

I've flown the B733 a few times since this conversation started back up. Even without any updates, I found the Vnav and Lnav to be incredibly stable. The aircraft, even in its current state, is a lot of fun to fly. There's no harm in giving the developer a gentle nudge requesting the status of updates. The harm here is accusing the dev of completely abandoning the project, which, in my understanding, is not true. In my years of living, and trust me, I've got many years under my belt, I've found that I can generally catch more bees with honey, rather than vinegar.

Hi Coop, Just checking to see if this issue has been addressed yet? I can't seem to brighten the display any more than what's shown in the image. Thanks!

I gotta tell ya, this CitationJet 525 has some of the best sounds I've ever heard in a flight simulator. Simply outstanding.

Agreed. I reenabled the Gizmo plugin, and my landing gear behaves as expected. Thanks Cam.

OMG. I'm loving this aircraft. The landing gear issue in my case was 3-fold. 1) X-Organizer app was disabling the X-Aviation plugin. 2) MalwareBytes was putting a plugin flie in quarantine, and; 3) I did not see my gear until I disabled the original Gizmo Plugin. Hope this helps someone.

I am spooling in with no gear. The suggestions in the link below don't appear to apply to my situation. https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/31849-cessna-525-no-landing-gear-or-operative-switches/ The aircraft really looks cool hubbering though. Log.txt

Coop, Congratulations on the product launch. It's in my virtual hangar, and I look forward to flying it. If I may go off-topic for a moment, the only aircraft I have keeping me tied to Gizmo is the SR22 Integra. Now that the Citation Jet has launched, perhaps you might circle back to Gizmo issue with the Integra? Thanks for all you do cause there's no way I could do it.

I enjoyed the CitationMax Stream. Wish I had caught it in real-time. The plane looks amazing, in and out.

I've enjoyed the raw sound test—now I can't wait to fire it up and make some noise that might just get me banned from the runway!

I've never heard that Austin personally has ever had an issue with .org, so I'm not sure he'd 'disfavor' it. While not grabbing .org when he grabbed .com might be considered a missed opportunity today, the environment at the time was probably different. Austin focused on the core product rather than ancillary details, IMO. The environment has changed since then. MSFS has demonstrated the value of attaching a shopping cart to the simulator, and I can't imagine that some of the staff haven't heard or experienced some of the war stories surrounding the .org. I have my own war story with .org, so I'm personally delighted to have a place to purchase products that do not support .org. Plus, I might no longer have to deal with extracting .zip files into folders. However, I'll always opt to purchase a product from X-aviation.com even if it's available at X-Plane.com.

Sweet!

I've learned that when I'm having an issue with anything in life, I should ask, Not what X can do for me, but what I can do for X. Maybe an approach to identify your issues, and report them as a bug for the next update might be a better approach. Just saying...
