⚠ 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.

I would like to update that, even after the latest client update installed (ver 1.3.0), XPlane 12 is still crash.
You need to use the file in the hotfix to update anyway.

Could you help suggest what to do next? My connection is ok, but the timing for No data sent is still counting.

Update: If you install over the previous version, then you need to use a file in hotfix. If you uninstall the old version first, then fresh reinstall, then it works fine.
