PerspectivePlus

No, nothing other than standard Windows software. Is it possible to download the original versions of these aircraft? Prior to the update everything worked 100% perfectly.

This one too? Log_ATC.txt

Is it this? Log.txt

Thanks Cameron, but I don't really understand what that means?

After updating the X-Aviation Cirrus SR20 and 22 aircraft, X-Plane 12 crashes on startup. No error messages appear, the app starts loading then just fails and disappears

Thanks Cameron, I'm grateful for you clarifying my understanding. I'll do some more research. Your help is much appreciated.

Coop and Cameron, many thanks for your speedy reply. I have all the RSG Perspective+ hardware, and I use it on the Torquesim Cirrus aircraft, where despite the obvious incompatibility between the Perspective+ hardware, and the Perspective avionics in the Torquesim aircraft, it all works pretty well. The hardware also works pretty well with the native Laminar SR22, which does have Perspective+ avionics. I still don't understand what the RSG software package offers, but I note it is based on the Torquesim G6 a/c, which retail customers don't have access to. I have had an email exchange with Jarrod at RSG about their Perspective+ software, but I'm still in the dark. The examples shown on their website show screens which are already provided by Torquesim in the G2/G3 models, so I have been unable to establish what value the RSG software provides over and above the excellent avionics functionality already provided by Torquesim. It causes me to think that if I could buy the Torquesim G6 aircraft, with the Perspective+ avionics, why would I need the RSG software at all? But then it seems that I can only get access to the Torquesim G6 a/c if I buy it through RSG with their software. Looking at your replies, does that mean that although Torquesim have developed a G6 SR20/22, they have not made any attempt to upgrade the avionics modelling to reflect the Perspective+ hardware fitted to these a/c? The RSG Perspective+ software offered on the RSG site offers a few purchasing options, one of which is "Perspective Plus software only - customer already has Torquesim G6 model" which is interesting, because it's not clear how anyone could already have the Torquesim G6 model because it is not readily available to retail customers. If one could buy the Torquesim G6 model, and it had Perpsective+ avionics in some form and was priced in line with other Torquesim products, I would gladly buy it. The RSG website says in a footnote: "For customers that have the home/personal Torquesim G3 aircraft license - $1495 for the software plus $1145 to upgrade the aircraft model to the G6 plus a one time $199 setup fee for a total of $2839." This, I guess, suggests that the Torquesim G6 aircraft model is only available through RSG and for the hefty sum of $1145, and then to make that work at all you need the RSG avionics software at an additional cost of $1495. Given that the excellent Torquesim SR20 G2/G3 aircraft model, with very comprehensive Perspective avionics, is available all-up for $54.95, it is completely baffling to know how these two product offerings can be reconciled. For those wishing to use the Cirrus G6 with Perspective+ avionics on their home sim, I guess the only options are to stick with the Torquesim G2/G3 with Perspective avionics, which is an incredibly realistic product, or perhaps look at MS Flight Sim for their native SR22 which has Perspective+, combined with very clever, and free, updates to the NXi G1000 kit from Working Title. So in summary, my understanding is that the Torquesim G6 aircraft model does exist but is not available to retail customers, and even if it was, it would not have functional Perspective+ avionics. That's really disappointing, because the Torquesim products are excellent, and good value for home sim users. The Cirrus SR20/22 is currently the best selling light aircraft in the world and perhaps if that trend continues, it will justify Torquesim refocusing efforts to update the existing, excellent models. Let me know if I have misunderstood the situation in any way, and thanks again for your help.

With reference to Coop's earlier reply indicating that there are no plans to develop the CirrusG6 with Perspective Plus avionics, this is disappointing because increasingly in real life this is becoming the most common type of Cirrus in use, given the development of the latest G7 and the Cirrus jet, all with touch avionics. I'm also surprised that the update would require such substantial development, given the many similarities between Perspective and Perspective Plus. But anyway, obviously you guys know best. What I am confused by is the existence of the Cirrus SR20 G6 in your product catalogue, I think under the 'professional' heading, but with a hefty price tag and no product description that I can find. Does this mean that the G6, with Perspective Plus, is already available but under a different product category? How can I find out more about this and is it an option for me to buy for my home sim which utilises RSG hardware? Even if I bought the RSG Perspective Plus software package, I presumably would need an aircraft from Torquesim for the software to overlay? To clarify my objectives: I have a full flight sim at home, purely for my own use, running X-Plane 12 with Torquesim Cirrus a/c. I have the full set of RSG hardware for Perspective Plus, which will operate (with some quirks) on the Perspective-based Torquesim SR20/22 models. In the real world I fly a Cirrus SR20 G6 and I'm trying as accurately as possible, to model that aircraft on my home sim. Are there further Torquesim products that would move me closer to the end game? Your further advice and guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks Coop, I appreciate your input. I have the RSG hardware which works well with the Torquesim aircraft, but the functionality is being provided by TorqueSim, which it does pretty well. I am aware of the Perspective+ software recently launched by RSG, although I don't yet fully understand what justifies the high price tag. Does your response suggest that TorqueSim has frozen all Garmin development for the Cirrus at the Perspective level, with no plans to ever support the Perspective+ functionality of the newer aircraft?

Any plans to add Perspective+ avionics to the Cirrus SR20 / 22 models? The question was asked back in 2022 and I wondered if there had been any progress?
