With b7 I get the elevator trim display in the Cirrus TheJet misplaced in both 2d and 3d cockpits. Might have been b6 too but I don’;t recall flying that plane – I basically use it to test new airports etc as it;s so light to load and easy to fly. I’ve deleted the plane and updated via the installer but it is still wrong so I don’t think it’s me. Anyone else getting this?

A GeForce driver will be also available for Windows 10 tomorrow, but I recommend to watch this video https://youtu.be/P_I8an8jXuM

In reply to myb.

As of now, that is correct – the official policy has always been one license, one computer – the idea is that the product is naturally more expensive for people doing ‘high value’ applications like building cockpits and doing commercial training.

In practice, this is strongly enforced in the commercial space with USB keys (which makes sense – if you’re building a $100k sim out of 5 copies of x-plane, the cost of 5 USB keys is still much cheaper than most solutions in the market), while it is weakly enforced at home (the DVD copy protection is _not_ hard to circumvent).

So we have to decide what to do with digital download, which has the same policy as the ‘official’ policy of DVDs but doesn’t match what people wer doing with DVDs in practice.

I would definitely say this: _do not_ buy one digital download key expecting to be able to use it on multiple machines.

I suppose that “DD” version don’t fit for users who have more than 1 computer. After all, the DVD version allow them to run XP on the 2 computers by using DVD1 and have flying with pleasure during some hours. How to do this by “DD” version, I haven’t understand.
