What operating system? If Windows, you can do so via the Add and Remove Programs interface. You can always manually backup the prefs file and liveries from the current version. But the uninstallation should preserve them.

As it says, airport database is damaged, specifically the CL650's. Go to Output\caches\CL650 and delete airport.db.

LWR MENU on the CCP.

Suggest uninstalling the previous version manually.

Correct. HUD is now rendered by X-Plane. Feature. I think I can say with almost certainty that won’t/can’t happen (but I’m not the developer).

It is still relevant, yes. LR haven't made any significant changes that I know of.

Can you post a screenshot of the error, please? Also can you confirm you have V1.6 installed? If so, try manually uninstalling it before running the V1.7 installer.

There is still no way for the Challenger to get the detailed weather data it needs to properly simulate the weather radar, so no, still waiting on Laminar to provide this.

A little misleading, sorry. The Challenger is ARM-compatible, Gizmo is not (yet). It was decided not to hold up the release of the former to wait for the latter.

Welcome to X-Plane 12's whole new lighting engine.

As Cam says, these are generally all X-Plane limitations or "features". The blurring of 3D cockpit panels comes from a blooming effect and should reduce with brightness, from what I understand. These are rendered directly by the Challenger itself, so don't get affected by X-Plane effects. These are both likely artifacts of the way X-Plane does screen-space reflections, and there's nothing an addon developer can do about it. This is again an X-Plane effect. It's simulating the brightness of displays being overwhelming for one's eyes at night time. The answer, again as Cam said, is to reduce the brightness to very low, as one would need to do in real life. (The effect isn't perfect, it's probably a bit overdone, but it is what it is.) Possibly turning down texture quality one notch, depending on how much VRAM your GPU has. But, probably not.

Days, possibly hours.

The next version should be released this week.

You won’t even be given an option to register a new machine identifier.

What "issue" are you referring to? There were multiple in the thread before I split it up.

It's undergoing final testing, so very soon hopefully.

Yes.

XMidiCtrl is great, I use it with my X-Touch, but how would one get a StreamDeck to present as a MIDI device?

All flight plan handling is done by the X-Plane default G1000 (X1000) therefore unfortunately can’t be improved by the Hot Start developer. Any such bugs should be reported to Laminar Research https://www.x-plane.com/x-plane-bug-report-form/

Licensing is done per physical machine, so no special action is required to use X-Aviation products with X-Plane 11 and 12 on the same PC. Just sign into Gizmo for each sim as normal.

I've been interested in this hardware too, thanks for posting! You may want to try the default X-Plane autopilot commands instead, they might work better.

It is requested via the Discord, and requires purchase of the product.
