Hello,
As part of the new X-Plane 12 Custom Avionics Devices, we have been advised to use this new drawing method for drawing pop-up gauges.
Unfortunately, based on these comments, it seems that Custom Avionics Devices do not work in VR. The current X-Plane 12 SDK does not have any information on VR mode and the simulator itself does not set the windows into VR mode. From our end, as a plug-in, there is nothing that we can do in these regards until such functionality will be added by the core simulator.
As add-on developers, we have been advised to move to the new X-Plane 12 Custom Avionics Devices, so by adhering to industry standards, there is a regression.
We will look into what can be done on our end and inquire with the LR team, as a possibility we may have to revert back to the previous drawing method until this situation clears up.
In the meantime, anybody who is affected, please contact us via DM on our Discord @TDSSim
Or via the support email address: support@tdssim.com
And we will provide a new version.
We are sorry for this, but it seems that this double edge sword is affecting users as well and puts everybody in a tight situation.
