Hi, If you would like to use this csl with X-Ivap edit the file xsb_aircraft.txt; replace the existing OFFSET line with "VERT_OFFSET 1.45"; it should work. EDIT: Don't expect the animations to work, for that the obj files would need to be edited.

Hi Cameron, I'm also getting this error with the DC3, SMP installed fine. I've tried Stuffit, Dr. Unarchiver and The Unarchiver, they all did the same.

Thank you!

Hi, Some time ago I disabled the lateral gizmo menu, because I never found any use for it and it annoyed me whenever my mouse hit the right end of the screen. I can't remember how I did it and now I don't know how to get it back; can someone help? Thanks.

Please report the bug to Laminar; I've already filed this bug but I think it is useful that it is observed in various systems.

Frank, It was going to be the last post but then I decided to perform anothe experiment and I want to tell you about it. I analyzed the NOAA plugin scripts and found the lines that update the METAR.rwx file, so I disabled those lines. Apparently the plugin does not use them and seems to run fine, as a result I hav no METAR.rwx, only MAXMETAR.rwx. So far so good, José

Frank, I don't think I should post anymore on this subject; we are getting nowhere and I'm not sure I will always be able to control my words. I respect you very much and I would hate it to get to that point. Best regards, José

Frank, Are you proposing that I make a clean install, without add-ons and fly for 1 or 2 months to check if it happens again? After that what? 2 more m,onths for each individual add-on? José

Hi Frank, It's very frustrating but from time to time I keep having those crashes with metar parsing; I get so mad at times that I just want to ditch SMP. I never do, thoguh. José Log.txt METAR.rwx

Actually it does not seerm to happen any more; I can't tell exactly when it stopped because I haven't been testing the demo very often.

Hi, Mine is the very latest Macbook Pro 15" with Radeon Pro 460 4096 MB; the curious thing is that this only happens with xplane 11. José

In my mother tongue there's a saying that can be losely translated by "Trying to teach Our Father to the priest"; I guess that's what I was trying to do. I've done a little programming, never in C and mostly in interpreted languages.

I understand that, Frank, but anything is better than a crash; wouldn't it be possible to have a global "On Error DO" that somehow avoided the crash, even if it meant switching to default clouds?

Frank, Instead of coding for every possible metar inconsistency couldn't just code something like "I can't figure this out, let's ignore these guys"

I guess you'll just have to wait, like the rest of us.

This is a metar parsing issue that has been reported in another thread.

It happened while testing XP11 demo at KSEA, then Itried XP10 and I had a similar crash. I attach both log files and Metars. José Log.txt MAXX_METAR.rwx METAR.rwx Log.txt

Frank, I was going to abandon this subject but Then I had an idea to try and increase the visual effects; it was set to medium and I managed to get clouds by increasing to high. This is an unexpected limitation, but there you are.

I did a fresh instal, rebooted the computer and I can tell you that if this is how it is supposed to look in XP11, I much prefer XP10. I won't insist since I'm not flying in XP11 anyway. Thanks for your time and attention. José

I'm not running out of memory, how could I if there's no scenery? We've discussed this before and my conclusion was that the available memory reported by SMP on a Mac is nothing like the real available memory (I know you disagree). Anyway, if I switch to XP10, with loads of scenery an plugins, everything runs smotthly with very acceptable FPS. Also, if you look at my first picture you'l notice that XP11 was running at 20 FPS, which confirms that there is no lack of memory. Is it possible that in a reinstal something is used from a previous version or is everything erased? I could try to erase everything manaully and do a fresh instal, instead of the reinstal. I'm not sure if that counts against my activation slots, which are probably running very low.

Tried that and there is some difference but it is featureless, like a cloud layer appears just as fog. Furthermore, as I was increasing the camera altitude, x-plane crashed, reportedly due to Silver Lining. Log.txt

I'm running the demo, so I only have this scenario, but I've tried in diferent airports and I can only see cirrus. Could this be specific to the demo?

I already did that, I reinstalled SMP 4, I believe it did delete everything there was from the previous instal. I wii soon get through my activation slots.

Frank, I tried your suggestions and it didn't work, I then downgraded to SMP 3.3.2 and it still doesn't work; I was wandering if it could have something to do with this Radeon graphics, although it is the same for XP10. José

I will say right from the start that I am running XP11 demo and I'm not sure if that could explain what I observe. I compared XP10 and XP11 on the same location (KSEA) I think the images speak for themselves. I've attached the log.txt and the wrx files from XP11. As further information, I'm using the new Macbook Pro with Radeon Pro 460 graphics. Log.txt MAXX_METAR.rwx METAR.rwx
