TY for informative reply.

Quick question and most likely one asked before. Is is possible to run two copies of the same DLC on the same PC/OS/Hardware without licensing issues or conflicting state saves, etc.? Either under two installed copies of XP12 or one XP12 and one XP11. Looking at the SR20 and the IXEG 737. If it is no issue, then do I just run the downloaded installers a second time and select the second install location? Also have a general licensing question. If my PC cannot access the Internet and Gizmo64 cannot go online to check the license status, then how long with the product function for, from last license renewal? May sound silly or even paranoid but part my reason for reverting back to X-Plane 12 from MSFS 2024 is the peace of mind from not having the requirement to be online all the time and how it conflicts with my unreliable T-Mobile 5G Wireless. Just thinking of a worst-case scenario when it comes to X-Aviation products licensing renewal. TY

Well, gave in and purchased the IXEG 737. The 737 won out against my shortlist of the Q400, Flight Factor, Rotate and even ToLiss (already have their A321). Also have experience of PMDG, Fenix and Maddog X from MSFS, which helps to gauge realistic expectations. Understand where you are coming from and that from a customer's perspective there is an increased element of risk when dealing with smaller developers over time. As a customer it is just hard to estimate the amount of risk at times. Also understand that the 737 is not going to see significant development but as a mature product at heart, it would still be nice to see it remain valid as time marches on. And for at least me, it is nice to see regular communication on development, even if there is little to say. Lets me know the heart is still beating at the other end, even if slowly. Reminded of the quote “Assumptions are the termites of relationships.” ― Henry Winkler. And those assumptions usually come about in the absence of facts. Anyway, initial impressions are very favorable and I am looking forward to what looks like many hours of satisfaction from all your hard work. In 2025, it seems pretty sterling and valid in light that it was first released in 2016. Thank you.

You missed the whole point of my post. 'Constant updates' was not the concern and you assumed that was my point. Relevant updates and the update history/patten was my concern, so I could evaluate my potential investment's long-term viability and potential. My concern was that if I make a purchase, how would the future development of the product be, considering that development of X-Plane 12 itself does not stand still and there are still bugs (according to the extensive reading I have done). Being a heavy user of flight sims since v8 of X-Plane and FS. I have amassed a ton of expensive pay ware DLC that collects digital dust. Much of it because some has just become technically old. But also because some developer's circumstances or priorities changes and the support for certain products slows down or stops. And then others just disappear or go quiet and the customer base is left in the dark one way or another. I am not insinuating such here in any fashion. More a case of a critical need to researching certain developers, the support, etc. on top of the product. And 'my prerogative' that you talk about is more a case of expressing the results of such research on forums, YouTube and the Internet. Even Q8Pilot, who gave me a very favorable impression of the 737 through many videos released a recent video called 'IXEG 737 - Grounded Forever or Ready for Takeoff?' just three months ago. Even while I type this, I am so tempted to purchase but just concerned as to where will the 737 be in, say a year, not needing constant updates but for the 737 to be kept current for current XP12 and bugs fixed. The intention is not to stir things up but at the same time is it too much to ask or express concern?

OpenGPWS Fix for ORBX True Earth GB North with X-Plane 12
MugHug replied to Coop's topic in Entegra SR22 Series
Question - It is Nov 2025 now and it seems the latest installable versions of the affected products are still to be updated. Well, at least the SR20? Issue still exists with latest downloads and latest ORBX TE GB North. But fix seems to have saved the day. Thank you. -

Was looking for for the patch changelog for the SR20. Found the changelog up to v2.01 but no changelog for v2.02. Is is available and is there a link? TY

Have been considering this AC for quite a while and seeing how it costs $85 (am use to paying such amounts for Fenix, PMDG, Rotate and others), I recently did my research which included various forums, reviews, etc. Not taking any sides, but just being objective about it as a practical XP12 purchase at this price. Bottom line is I feel a little concern about it as an XP12 DLC investment, based upon many concerns raised here and elsewhere plus the long timeline of minimal events. Wonder how many other outsider potential buyers hesitant, in light of the current situation.

Just attempted to install Maxx FX on my Windows PC. Used the latest installer downloaded from the store. Once I provided the installer my login credentials and clicked ok, I was informed by BitDefender that the installer was trying to send my password unencrypted. The action was blocked. Only by allowing an exception, was I able to complete installation. First time I have come across many on-line installer doing this with my credentials. Is this right?

Cessna Corvalis TT Version 1.6 Update Released!
MugHug replied to Cameron's topic in Cessna Corvalis
Thank you for the prompt reply. In light of your post, what is the 'unofficial' position on running the Cessna Corvalis TT in X-Plane 11? Is it a case of just not being tested under XP11 or are you aware of significate issues that prevent it operating under XP11? Regards -
Thank you for the prompt reply. Regards

Developer, I notice that the most recent installer for this product (being version 1.4) clearly states that it is only for X-Plane 10. Does this mean that there are issues using this product under X-Plane 11? If it does have issues under X-Plane 11 will there be any compatibility patch released? Thank you.

Cessna Corvalis TT Version 1.6 Update Released!
MugHug replied to Cameron's topic in Cessna Corvalis
JGregory JGregory, Please, can you post any news on the progress of the 'update/new version' you mentioned in your post of 6/14/2017. Is this still going to happen? Has the work on the project been started and any timeframe on release to customers, etc.? Thank you. -
At least, it may be one way to confirm As far as the video cards, did you see this Nvidia FAQ http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1440150 related to the Mac Pro. Some good info. Regards,

I found a little tool called Menu Meters really good to keep an eye on the CPU workload. It sits on the menu bar up top. Prefer it to Activity Meter. Have found it good to check the load of each core. http://www.ragingmenace.com Regards

Aircraft Known to be Compatible with 64Bit
MugHug replied to Sgt R Lee Ermey's topic in General Discussion
So not just me. Considering who made the cockpit and in light of having two of his ACFs with 3D cockpits, I am surprised there is such a FPS hit. Wonder if it is the coding on Peters side? Regards -

Aircraft Known to be Compatible with 64Bit
MugHug replied to Sgt R Lee Ermey's topic in General Discussion
Agree that from the technical side, he does some of the best stuff out there. Just try to warn people that some may consider the eye candy to be, for example not up to Carenado standard. If one can look beyond that and is or wishes to become a procedural flyer of what I suspect are the nearest that we have in X-Plane to the real thing, then consider Peter's Aircraft. I do not regret buying the A380 and actually feel it is potentially the best ACF in my hanger, if I ever master it. That is even with having the JARDeisgn a320neo, for example. Just not sure I would lay out so much again on one ACF/livery. Good news on the 64-bit. I rarely load up 32-bit X-Plane now, so it will be something nice to look forward to:) On the 3D cockpit of the 380, do you actually find a noticeable drop in FPS against the 2D? Regards -
Aircraft Known to be Compatible with 64Bit
MugHug replied to Sgt R Lee Ermey's topic in General Discussion
Peter Hager's website 'Peters Aircraft' - http://petersuv.vs120062.hl-users.com I own the Airbus A380 with 3D cockpit and the older Airbus 340-600 with only 2D cockpit. From what I understand and find with my ACFs, none of his aircraft plugins are 64-bit and there is no timeline on his part to do so. It seems that older models use SASL, so maybe dropping in the generic 64-bit version would work, but I have done no testing. To be honest, even with using 64-bit X-Plane 95% of the time, I can wait for the chance that Peter upgrades to 64-bit plugins. Too many other nice aircraft that work in 64-bit The newer ACFs like the A380 and A320 seem to use custom plugins. So unless things change, all of he ACFs do not meet the requirements. Regards _____________ On a separate note: I was in a position recently on debating if to buy the A380 and I finally did. I imagine anyone else in the same position might find my experience helps to shine light on the matter. Being the most expensive ACF (currently) with a 3D cockpit, it is a lot of money for some to spend, even if they love Airbus ACFs The A380 (paid $80 for it) is really a procedural ACF and that is where the effort has been put. The exterior model is reasonable good but not up there with the best (the photos on the website seem to look better). It now has a 3rd party 3D cockpit made by Ramzzess for an extra fee. For approx. $80 I was able to get one ACF, Qantas colors and the 3D cockpit. Would I do it again? Not yet being a procedural flyer and not knowing how accurate his 380 is, I currently find it hard to justify to myself the money I spent. it does seem to fly realistically (this is from someone who has never sat in a pilots seat) compared to all the other big heavies I have owned. There is a certain quality there, that I have not defined yet. It sure does feel big and flies big Bottom line is that if you are expecting AAA looks like the Jetsteam, then you will be disappointed. The 3D cockpit by Ramzzess feels more like his older IL-96 the the SJ100 level of quality/finish. It does the job and does look nice, but not up with the best. I suspect the 380 flies pretty close to the real thing and to get the best out of it, you have to fly it like the real thing. Up to you and how you wish to spend your $80, but hopefully now you have an little bit more of an insight as to what to expect. Regards
