mtaxp Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Every thing is just perfect,and its not finished yet!The sound is amazing,it feels that you are in there and i actually felt the vibration of the engines when they start.

Mike 32 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Not to worry. You are certainly not the first to do so. More should learn to laugh at themselves as you just did. Welcome to X-Pilot! Thanks for the welcome. The community here is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayne299 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) The video tutorials are amazing! I love the amount of detail put into the plane . I can't wait till it comes out!

RojanTrojan Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Jan makes it all look too easy! Out of curiosity, can the nose wheel tiller be operated as a separate axis or is it linked to the rudder axis? Thanks, looking forward to part 5, FMS and Weather radar...

tkyler Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The nose wheel tiller cannot be operated at all by the mouse unfortunately. Most folks use a joystick or pedals to turn on the ground anyhow. This is due to a limitation with x-plane's nose-wheel algorithm which we searched for a way around but to no avail. The tiller is coupled to the nosewheel however and not the rudder angle so once the plane leaves the ground, the tiller will not move with the rudder. We discussed the option of deactivating the rudder while on the ground to simulate tiller only operation but deemed it insignificant in the grand scheme.

ONDR4.cz Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 That's a pity. The rotary knob on my X52's throttle would be almost ideal for the tiller... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litjan Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's a pity. The rotary knob on my X52's throttle would be almost ideal for the tiller... I voted to have that initially as well. But I am totally happy with the current solution and I think that even people with an extra axis available can live with this limitation.X-Plane has the ability to adjust nosewheel sensitive in relation to ground speed, just like modern cars do. So you can steer the wheel to maximum angle whith your pedals while going slow, but sensitivity reduces during the takeoff run so you won´t overcontrol there.

meshboy Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Hi! I have a question about the Field Of View used in your videos. This may sound strange, but one of the things i like the most in your addon is the Line of the windows top borders. It is straight compared to the monitors top border so to say. In almost every addon the windows are to high and you can never see the overhead and the glareshield at the same time. In the IXEG model i get the same feeling as when entering the cockpit of a real 737. (Yes, i am an adult but always try to get a chance to talk to the pilots or look in the cockpit when i board / get off the plane hehe), that it is very crowded and compact. Have you altered some FOV values in the Cold and Dark Videos, or is it standard X-Plane. Because i need to know how to get EXACT that FOV as in the videos.

tkyler Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 It is just standard x-plane FOV settings; however, there are view settings in Planemaker that control not only the camera position of course, but also the "tilt" of the camera up or down and we have set this value specific to our cockpit based on Jan's input. A lot of authors do not tweak this value, but leave it default and as such, do not provide an optimal view for the aircraft they are modeling IMO.

meshboy Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 So Jan! When are you landing this little badboy? No rush, i still have plenty to watch from your previous videos over and over and over and over again... By the way, Flight Level Change on the autopilot. Is this Correct: If you push the FLChange the aircraft will focus on maintaining the speed set and climb by pitching up/down to maintain that speed.Instead of Vertical Climb where you set the correct VS and the aircraft dont care about speed? What if the aircraft cant maintain the speed if you set the VS to 3000fpm and you speed is 210 and dropping? What happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Production on the sequels will start in a few weeks - pretty busy with development right now! If the aircraft is in V/S and speed drops too low, first the autothrottle will engage in alpha-floor protection (flashing A) and add thrust to stop the speed decay. If this is not sufficient, the airplane will revert from V/S to FLCHG to avoid the stall. Jan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWheat Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Any insight on to what parts of the aircraft the development is focused at the moment? Can't wait till new videos of the development! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well, I can´t make any new videos yet, because not everyone that saw the first part has also seen all the other parts. So I have to be courteous and wait until those "viewed x times" on all four even up, to give everyone the time to watch them in these busy pre-Christmas times. .

meshboy Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Happy holidays! I like the idea of a lite with things that are left in development. I dont remember if you posted it here or on ixeg.net? But i really like the idea of a big log with stuff that is left to do. That way we can see how the developement goes and know maybe how much is left. I would be extremely happy with a 2014 realease, but i think you will be able to get it out sooner than december.
