# Reporting Bugs If you encounter anything that seems like a bug, please report it. However I won't investigate on bug reports that do not contain all relevant information. ## How to report bugs If you encounter a bug within XPlane2Blender please follow these steps to make it easier for the developer(s) to fix it: 1. Check the [issues-list at the GitHub-Project-Page](https://github.com/der-On/XPlane2Blender/issues), to see if your bug has not been reported yet 2. Open up Blender from a terminal/console. Under windows you have to launch blender with the Start > "run" command by typing "blender.exe" into it. Under Unix (Mac/Linux) you have to open up a terminal and type "blender". 3. Open up the file causing the bug. 4. Repeat the steps causing the bug. 5. Look into the terminal/console and copy the error-message that might have showed up in it. It's best If you copy everything, so the developer gets as much information as possible. 6. [Create a post at x-plane.org](http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=94117) / Or open up an [issue at Github](https://github.com/der-On/XPlane2Blender/issues) containing the following information: Your **Operating System**, your XPlane2Blender version (e.g. 3.20r1), your Blender version together with the **build-number** (if using Blender 2.5x this is the number after the "r"), the **exact steps for reproducing the error**, the **error message(s)**, if possible the file causing the error **cleared of all non-relevant parts for the bug**. 7. Wait and hope. We will look into it and fix it asap. Please only send me private messages/email to send me the buggy files. Do not send me your bug report in a PM or email. Making the bugs/problems and their solutions public will help all other users of XPlane2Blender with the same problem. If you think this is a good thing [buy me a beer](https://github.com/tngreene/XPlane2Blender-docs/tree/045bbe7764e1127748c3df734a632bfbc1a1199d/Donations/README.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
