⚠ SimFly Client for X-Plane 12.4+ — Plugin Hotfix Available

General
1

Hi everyone,

Following a recent update to X-Plane 12 (12.4+), some users may experience a crash on startup while using SimFly.

This is due to a change in the simulator that affects how certain plugins interact with it.

:white_check_mark: Temporary fix (before the 1.3.0 release)
While we are preparing the rollout of SimFly Client 1.3.0, you can apply this quick hotfix:

  • Download the updated file here:
    SimflyClient-1.3.0-preRelease-XPlaneBridgePlugin-hotfix.zip

  • Open your X-Plane installation folder (the main folder where X-Plane is installed)

  • Navigate to one of the following paths:
    /Resources/plugins/XPlaneBridgePlugin/
    or
    /Resources/plugins/PluginAdmin/64

  • Replace the existing plugin file with the updated one

  • Restart X-Plane

:brain: Notes

  • Applies to Windows users

  • macOS users are not affected

:rocket: What’s next
This fix is already included in SimFly Client 1.3.0, which will be released shortly.

Thank you, Karim. I would still suggest granting access to the Laminar dev Slack channel, as it could help prevent gaps like this. Best regards.

Hello, will there be any fixes for the X-Plane 11 version? Currently, I am still experiencing program crashes. I checked the log file and found that the cause of the crash is the plugin XPlaneBridgePlugin/64/win.xpl, as shown in the image.

Thank you.

Hi Phusin,

thank you for the report.

I will pass this on to the development team, and we will see if we can find a solution already by tomorrow, when the new client is released.

I will keep you updated as soon as I have any news.
