Anyone using XAcars 2.5.4 for X-Plane on a Windows-machine?

[Ricardo Rementería Troncoso]

I've heard from other X-Plane users (on the .org) that Windows-users can't get the new XAcars 2.5.4 (64-bit) working. I only have a Mac and XAcars 2.5.4 works fine on my configuration.
Please, X-Plane ACH-pilots:
1. Anyone using X-Plane 64-bit?
2. Anyone using the new XAcars 2.5.4?
3. Anyone using that combination on a Windows-machine?
Please, tell me.

Saludos,

It is unusable. You cant get rid of the settings-screen, and also you cant hide it. Obviously a version released without any test.

Hi Ricardo
Looks like I'm a lucky guy.
I have tested now XACARS 2.5.4 64bit and it is working.
My configuration: Win 7 Home Prof. 64bit, X-Plane 10.20
- Live tracking is working, I have seen my flight in pilots lounge and on the map
- it was possible to hide the XACARS window
- PIREP save and send was successful

There is just on thing what is not working, but I have this problem also on 32bit:
It is not possible to get the flight data via the FLIGHT DATA VIA ACARS button. X-Plane is holding and I have to restart. So I have to fill all data manually. But that is no problem so far for me. Only if there is a very long route

Install Information: I have removed XACARS.xpl from /plugins/XACARS/ and put the 32bit and 64bit folder in there.

So now I will switch back to 32bit because of Xsquawkbox and XHSI

Kind regards
Daniel

After a month of testing:

- XACARS 64 bit is unstable, untested
- 32 bit works flawlessly

Where can bugs be reported or what alternative is there? (for 64 bit)?

Still problems with 64 bit. Window is sometimes not hideable. No fix in sight and no chance to contact the developer. Mostly with 777 and JAR320 by the way.
