This will (rightly) scare off some potential customers. I hope Realty XP finds a way to better distribute their code. Lots of examples of this in the industry and a common attack vector ( I work in IT admin education). If you define the symbol XPLM200, then the 2.0 API will be available to your code, and your plugin will only work on X-Plane 9 and later. By default your plugin will only be able to use 1.0 APIs and run on any version of X-Plane. The installer could absolutely get compromised at the hosting location or even at the compiler. You can use the latest SDK download to build your plugin no matter what version of the API you are targeting. I'm not sure I agree about it being nothing to complain about. I created a firewall exception and proceeded cautiously. Combination of their distribution method and that they aren't code signing their program. Looks like a long standing problem with Reality XP's distribution system. If not, you can also find it in your 'Downloads' folder, simply double click on it there to start the install. Once the download finishes, you will normally see it at the bottom of your browser where can normally click the file to start the install. Thanks Cruiser Doing more research, I agree. Click the button above will start a download of the RealSimGearX-PlaneInstaller.exe. The Win10 Defender has nothing to complain about and as long as you bought the AddOn via the regular channel you should be absolutely safe. I suppose that the Win11 Defender is also wrong. I read many times in the past years that several commercial anti-Virus programs repeatedly flagged the RealityXP installer as "infected" but that were always false alarms.
