On a side note, Kerry, I would appreciate it if, echoing Jim's and Cameron's statements, that you choose carefully how you word your comments. You DID say... This can be a damaging statement to us and our product when people are considering purchasing the Saab, who could inadvertently misinterpret your comments This new update has been 8 months in the making. And on top of that, it's free. We take pride in our work, and if any issues arise, we immediately look at the problem and work to resolve it. In saying all this, we feel your question has been answered and we hope you enjoy flying this add on.

Please post your GizmoLog.txt file. (Found in your X-Plane root folder.)

Definitely not correct. Are you sure you installed in your X-PLANE root folder.

That's exactly how it is in the real aircraft. It's a warning that the Autopilot is off and can only be silenced by pilot intervention. Please see Cameron's reply above.

Make sure electrical power is on. Make sure Avionics switches are on. On the actual unit, turn the Power knob on (it's labelled with a "C") located on the units upper left area.

Run the X Plane updater and either update to Beta 3 or revert to the non beta. There was an issue with props in Beta 2

1. Can you confirm if you are using the free castoring version of the DC-3? To check this, go to exterior view and swing the rudder from left to right. If the tail wheel does not move, it is free castoring and using the rudder pedals will not affect direction unless you're going fast enough. The way you taxi a real DC-3 is increasing/decreasing power in the appropriate engine to elicit a turn response in the direction you wish to go. The same applies on takeoff. Engine power management. 2. I'll look into this one. 3. The other way you can tell is a drop in oil temperature. I assure you, they do work.

I'm sure Cameron will get around to it, but here's one I found on AVSIM.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of X-Plane, and there is no way around it without access to X-Planes source code.

If you don't have the hardware for it, you can use the drag manipulators to adjust the levers. There are 3 manipulators for both the Condition Levers AND the Power Levers. Left, Right and Both. The manipulator for both levers is in between the left and right ones. That's the only workaround I can think of.

Nice livery. I can't say I have the time to sit down and do it, and I'm not sure anyone has made one, but I could ask someone I know to make it. No promises.

She's slowly coming together. Mixing my time between this and the Citation. What it WILL have is completely new mesh from top to bottom. New textures. Modified flight model. New Garmin 430. New manipulators. What it (probably) won't have. Scroll wheel manipulators.

1. To start 3nm out requires the engines and all systems to be running. Because of the amount of code and the steps required to get all those systems up and running, X-Plane can't load these kinds of situations for an aircraft this heavy in code. 2. No, but you can utilize the Auto Start feature which gets all the vital systems started. You will need to take a few extra steps, like setting the Condition Levers to MAX, check Bleed Air valves, etc...

Combination of C and SASL(?) "SASL plug-in enhanced flight model and systems,"

Doubtful. It's made with SASL. SASL is exclusive to x-plane.org.

Try to make your purchases with the developer and the product in mind. Supporting developers supports the hobby and the community. Peter has worked extremely hard on this project, for almost 4 years. Going by the screenshots in this entire thread, I'd say it's worth it. Regardless which store it's in.

This is a total mystery to us. From what I have seen, you are literally the only person to report this. It's not that I doubt you, as I have seen your screenshot. It's just that from the sales we've had, you represent less than 1% of people who are experiencing this issue. This seems to be something unique to your system that no one can put a finger on. As a last resort, may I ask you to hold out a short time longer and wait for the new upgrade to be published, and then see if that does anything.

Unplug all hardware and disable all plugins except Gizmo. Then restart the sim and reload the Saab.

Please keep in mind, each time you submit a support ticket, you get pushed to the back of the line again. Submit 1 support ticket and you will be seen to.

RC6 just went out yesterday. RC5 had just 2 issues we had to fix and they were dealt with in this last update. If all goes well, RC6 will be our final one before the update is live.

Could you make a video of what is happening with the takeoff run and the fuel tanks?

In most cases, if X Plane itself is updated, and it breaks something in an add on, the developer can contact Laminar and give them all the details about what's going on, and Laminar then introduce another update that fixes the problem. Very rarely would a developer have to fix something in their add on after an x plane update causes some kind of issue. As far as features or bug issues in the Saab, as it stands at this time, we're considering this update to be the last one. If, by some chance, X Plane breaks something in an add on through one of their updates, and we cannot get them to fix the problem, then of course, we would take a look at it and fix it ourselves.

Ladies and Gents, After considering an upgrade to the Sundowner and Duchess for quite a while (as early as mid 2014), work has begun on a rather large update on these 2 aircraft. This will have very little effect on the Citation as I am only dedicating about an hour or 2 per day to bringing this up to 2015/XP10 standards. 3D mesh, with the exception of the seats and maybe the flight controls, is being completely re-modeled and re-textured from scratch. Almost all old mesh is being dumped. Please note: Due to the amount of work involved, this upgrade will incur a small fee. Please, no critiques on the modelling. It's obviously a work in progress. Cheers!

Work continues. We're treating this as the final update to the Saab, so we're making sure everything is covered.
