  1. This afternoon I had a pleasant flight to EGNX using OrbX scenery. The BN2-T from TorqueSim loaded with some goods and one passenger proved to be a reliable workhorse. The weatherconditions managed by ASXP and displayed by SkyMAXX Pro 5.1 were nice and a bit challenging due a relative high wind speed near the ground. The sun breaks through the clouds, creating nice shadows in the cockpit. ShadeX contributes to the great atmosphere. I am a happy pilot.
  2. What is the correct way of taxiing. Steering with the rudderpedals doesn't make sense for me, so I use differantial braking. Is that the correct method or am I doing something wrong.
  3. The log states a 970 card. But with a 670 you are probably running out of GPU memory. This brings the fps to a sort of slideshow Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
  4. The GPU load is 100% while CPU load is about 20%. This is a very strange combination in X-plane. Could you check where your monitor cable is plugged in. The cable must plugged in the dedicated GPU card and not in the GPU slot of the motherboard.
  5. Toto control stiffening, what is that? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
  6. Impressive and I am willing to buy, but to be honest if the prices are above ORBx (and they are way too expensive with +$30 for airports and +$50 for regions) then it will be too expensive too me to support this project.

    Xplane 11?

    I hope you will recover quickly. These issues are more important than our hobbies. Get well soon. Verstuurd vanaf mijn HTC 10 met Tapatalk
  8. How long long was X-plane running before you opened a window? What is your traffic density? X-plane builds up the traffic again after closing a window, so the first moments you have less traffic than before, resulting in more fps for some time. How do the fps stabilize after some minutes? Didn't you change a view angle? Because this can cause a huge fps increase or decrease.
  9. EHAM - IXEG Boeing 737-300 flying tutorial 1. Need still some more circuits to fly this great plane. Thanks IXEG!
  10. I think it is helpful when you post also the x-plane en gizmo log files. The developers then can check if Gizmo is running well.
  11. Try re-installing after you turned off the anti-virus software temporarily. In my case this was a problem installing the software. Not relevant in this case.

  13. What is the difference with World Traffic? It looks like similar products.
  14. Thanks for your answer. Then I have to learn some OpenGL... Is it binding a texture coordinate to a vertices or something?? Do you have a tip to get a good startingpoint learning opengl?
  15. I want to use some buttons from the default X-Plane userinterface png file via texUI = gfx.getTexture_UI() But how can I use a single button instead of the whole file?
  16. Pull out the USB-cable and replug it again. It will reset the jittery effects of the Saitek sensors.
  17. Thanks for your answer. I have found a solution. With textboxes I can use a the function EventHandler_OnKeyDown(char, keyCode, shift, alt, control), whereby "EventHandler" is replaced by the name which was defined at creating the widget (in my case the textbox). It costed me some time to find this Gizmo function (your answers made me think there must a sort of keysniffer in Gizmo). After searching in my collection of Gizmo scripts (My way of learning programming is always reading code of other who are more clever than I (You understand, I can use everything ) After all I found one script (Filebrowser.lua) of yours which I downloaded some time ago from Github (I was glad I did, because at the moment it seems you have deleted many gizmo scripts there) where this function was used. After that it was very easy to implement it for my new script. So I think it could be helpful to add this event to the Gizmo64 documentation. Another thing is that I now need a xxx_OnKeyDown() function for every textfield. So defining a taborder at creating the userinterface is a good idea. Another way to have less messy code is to create a function GetFocus() to find the widgetID of the 'active' widget in combination with one xxx_OnKeyDown() function which is used for all widgets of Gizmo. It is an easy way to put all my widgets in a table. I can use the index of the table as the taborder and voila I can tab forward and backwards. Finally a short function using _OnKeyDown() which can be used to write the values to the console, so one gets an understanding how this function can be implemented and which values (of course ASCII values) are generated by your keypresses. WidgetID = gui.newTextBox(WindowID,"EventHandler","", 135, 100, 35)function EventHandler_OnKeyDown(char, keyCode, shift, alt, control) console.log ("char: "..char.." keycode: "..keyCode.." shift: "..tostring(shift).." alt: "..tostring(alt).." control: "..tostring(control))end
  18. I am writing a weight and balance calculator. I use textboxes to enter values which are used in the calculation. But is it possible to test for the <SHIFT>,<CTRL>,<TAB> etc. keypresses, so that I can uses this to set the focus to a next or previous textbox or widget. Clicking each field with the mouse is somewhat annoying.
  19. Donation is done, after some PayPal trouble.
  20. I have downloaded the new version, but Gizmo complained that it can't find the init.lua file, while it is in the <scripts> folder. See GizmoLog and screenshot for details. GizmoLog.txt
  21. What is the source of this table? Interesting to see the big difference between the i6700 and i6600.
  22. Indeed it was an assumption at diverse IT forums. But Intel informed at the press-release that Intel doesn't have implemented Inverse Hyperthreading. But other changes in the architecture are responsible for some major single thread performance as seen in the Mozilla Kraken benchmark. So I Don't expect a great performance gain for X-Plane. Of course I am interested in performance benchmarks with X-Plane with this processor.
  23. With the code of the first post I have to delete the camera.releaseControl()* function call to work properly, but than I can not use any X-Plane commands or the mouse anymore to change the view direction. I understand that this is logical to the fact I did not release the control. The solution I found is that I first program a camera-movement and after ending the move I set the pilots_head_x, pilots_head_y and pilots_head_z dataref values to the new position, followed by releasing the cameracontrol back to X-Plane. Is this the correct way do it?
  24. Great news! For until now I think I will create a 2D picture in Photoshop with added text and place that picture in a custom widget. The drawback of this method is that scaling will be ugly, because the text is now a picture and not a vector anymore. I also could use a custom widget for each line of text, but than I have an ugly code to maintain.
