I have downloaded the new Gizmo and I will re-install Skymaxx; I will try it out but I can't promise you when I will do it because I don't want to risk any important flights. I may eventually try to leave x-plane flying on its own, off line, during the night, on a very long flight, and find out if everything went smoothly when I wake up the next morning. I have calmed down a bit, but I was infuriated when I lost my third long flight. The thing is it was unpredictable, because I had managed a 3 hour plus flight, in between, with no issues. José
