When you installed yours, did you have issues? I tried these back in June and could never get it to work with X-Plane (worked great with MSFS). I just re-ordered and hoping the new software upgrade gets me to the finish line

That was about the time I was moving everything from upstairs to downstairs so I can't really say regarding back then. Works well now and the updates have been good so far with the new high preformance option.When you installed yours, did you have issues?

Well, back to my original issue. I have a new unit, installed the launcher for both X-Plane and MSFS. MSFS works great. When I start up the X-Plane with the launcher, the display only shows static images; it basically does not reflect what the actual gauges show. For example, the altimeter is stuck on 0 and the RPM shows 1700rpm. This is the exact same issue I had when I tried these before, so there must be something in my X-Plane setup that is causing the problem. When I check the joystick configuration for steam gauges, everything is blank, even after I select 'reset to defaults'. Frustrating; I had hoped this would work now.
Check Your X-Plane Installation:
There may be an issue with the x-plane_install_11.txt (or x-plane_install_12.txt) file located in your %LocalAppData% folder.
This file should contain a single line with the correct path to your X-Plane installation. We’ve found that, in some cases, X-Plane may fail to update this file with the correct location after a re-installation.
To resolve this, please verify that the file contains the correct path. If it does not, you may need to update it manually.
Additionally, the X-Plane launcher should indicate that X-Plane has been successfully connected on the launcher window bottom right corner.
Also note that there will be no specific bindings listed under "X-Plane Assignments" because the controls are managed directly through the launcher.

Thanks for the quick response. The file you mentioned has a single line with the correct path. Looks like this: D:\X-Plane 12/
When the launcher kicks on X-Plane, it comes up fine, the launcher says X-Plane is Running, however the bottom of the screen still says Sim connection:Waiting.
