As much as I can understand the wish for some update to this feature or that - if someone wants "a flight model update" it makes me think he just wants an update because updates are cool (and perceived as additional value). Something that is fine does not need an update.

Unfortunately any time that X-Plane does the "loading flight" screen it resets the livery to whatever you selected on the initial flight configuration. You could consider reporting that as a bug to LR. *shrug* I would sometimes do this so I wrote a script to maintain the time at which I paused the sim when resuming. https://github.com/pilsnerish/FlyWithLua-Scripts/blob/main/PauseResume.lua

Yes, there are quite a few parameters to be met for an autoland approach to be legal (and safe), I think the crosswind limit was like 10 kts (it goes down with decreasing RVR). The 737´s autopilots have no access to the rudder, so it can not "decrab" or "sideslip" to counter crosswinds. It can also not maintain the centerline after touchdown (rollout), so all it does is fly you to touchdown (in full crab) and then the pilot has to take over and manage the rollout. Also keep in mind that some ILS localizers in X-Plane are not very well centered on the runway, this is due to inaccurate government data on localizer direction and also a certain leeway LR allows airport designers to place their runways (iirc it´s "within 5 meters" of the official runway end coordinate).

Really? If any feature warranted deploying an update, this would be it.

I suppose I should demonstrate some form of life. I'll have to get with Jan on that as our radar (best I recall) had most of the features of the real thing. As far as "coming out soon", here's what I'll say....and this is overdue for sure....and I'm not going to convince anyone to believe me or not on the timing. It will get looked at and updated at some point. As sure as this is my 20th year actively involved in X-Plane work, it will continue to be so. A year and a half ago, things changed for me when Laminar announced its new store initiative in Montreal. I took a job with Laminar to completely rewrite its developer documentation. This was a "look to the future" for both myself and X-Plane, at the cost of 'now'. Laminar are looking to embrace a future generation of developers and we need to have better learning materials to engage this generation to develop for X-Plane, so I'm that guy....thats for Laminar. For myself, I needed more stability and a cushion, as the add-on market for X-Plane is still too thin to have any kind of long term security. Taking on this work with Laminar has allowed me to close out all other obligations and stay in the X-Plane ecosystem for the foreseeable future. The 'problem' for my customers and X-Aviation thus far, is that the initial phase or work to revamp and deploy the documentation was/is huge. New developer web site, new manual formats, a new, interactive PlaneMaker manual, lots and lots of rewriting, new illustrations...etc....and that has taken a good while to develop and received all my focus to get to what we call the "initial deployment" of the docs out the door. That initial deploy is not terribly far off. After the initial deployment, I will settle into a more regular time schedule that will afford me the time to get back to my own work. It has been my effort over the last year to try and achieve a point where I can only work on X-Plane endeavors between now and my retirment......and there have been personal hurdles along the way that are neither anyone's concern or business, but real to me just the same. It is my intention to crack open the MU2 and 737 again in early October, to resume work on my 'X-Aviation' things. I have discussed this with X-Aviation also. Between now and then I am focused on getting an initial deployment of the new docs out the door for Laminar. We will look at the IXEG radar early on for sure. I want to remain developing for X-Plane fully and it is my firm belief that this path i've taken was the required path to do so, and I apologize for the silence and delays. -tkyler

You'll need to post a log.txt file.

Is there meant to be a discrepancy between the brightness of the cockpit screens and the pop-out ones? It makes reading difficult without excessively fiddling around with brightness controls. (And of course this screenshot shows the now regular issue of the hydraulic summary having gone crazy). Maps in particular are very difficult to read at times. I find brightness of displays/lighting quite a challenge to manage in general compared to other aircraft. The overhead panel lights on bright look like the aurora borealis. I'm sure some of this is X-Plane.

That's expected, yes. Indeed.

Me too. I was just getting my log.txt, but suddenly thought to look here

Hi Patrick, just reading this - I am happy that you got it solved - and thanks for reporting back with the solution! Happy flying!

I will be the one to bring it up, is the tbm900 still being worked on for release to x-plane 12, and can we get any kind of update on its progress?

Worked great. Thanks for posting.

Awesome, thanks for sharing that!

By experimenting, I found that significantly lowering the (apparently undocumented) dataref sim/private/controls/lights/legacy_luminance_spills to values around 5–10 helps a lot. It does increase the already unrealistic light bleed from the overhead lights into the cockpit, but IXEG behaves like this anyway, and those lights can simply be turned off (at least in flight). You can set it, for example, via a FlyWithLua script: set("sim/private/controls/lights/legacy_luminance_spills", 5)

Thought I'd share this.. been practicing some holds along the way. to spice things up..

You need to run X-Plane under Rosetta for it to work.

I have noticed this artefact as well. A few versions ago, sometime within the last half year…

I've just gone round Birmingham and it works fine, with not winds or turbulance.. I'm guessing it has to be smooth (Not a bunch of turbulance etc) air for it to work and no more than 10kts of crosswind?.. You'll have to excuse my ignorance on that then.. I rarely use Autoland but just been experimenting with it, just in case I need it. Seems I've opened up some interesting areas with that, as in I have read that there is a bunch of criteria to be met when doing a full auto land (Which makes sense.) Cheers for double checking though. Often too easy to be lulled into thinking something isn't right, cos someone else thinks so, I feel better now. The whole flight model thing stemmed from this but I already learned when to cut power at different flap settings or correctly trim the aircraft. I will accept that It's most likely user error.

It doesn't warrant an update? I think it absolutely does. Other aircraft have had an operational weather radar for some time now, but it's been missing from the CL650 - one of the most expensive aircraft addons available. I rarely fly the CL650 now because it is missing Wx Radar. It's a great aircraft, but incomplete since it's missing critical functionality. I routinely receive updates for other expensive aircraft addons ive purchased, but not a single update has been released for the CL650 and I've owned it for 5 months now.

Now that the final version of XP12 has been released, is there any timeline for the CL650 weather radar to be implemented?

I respectfully disagree. The lack of any weather radar functionality in the CL650 had made me temporarily shelve the aircraft. Too many times I got torn up in some CBs because I couldn't see them at night. WXR is the feature that many of us have been eagerly waiting for. I want to fly her again in all weather conditions.

I second that 100% ! What has been done about the new weather radar helps a lot to avoid TS and severe Turb (it was already the case with some addons before but now as a matter of fact (even if we are still in beta), it is much more accurate in terms of depiction in the skies, especially by night, it helped me twice to avoid huge cell TSRA, one flying the FF772 last update LFPO/SOCA and the other, flying the Baron 58/REP VFR ) I also recall that I've been stuck in TS/severe icing condition by night flying the CL650 and I almost crashed before regaining control of the aircraft 8000 ft below LFPQ/ENSR IVAO , a MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY was sent out to the ATC, no radar on board, the great CL650, now grounded, lost its certification based on BEA investigations "Violation of safety regulations " Shame on me! I tried to accuse @Cameron but his lawyers were stronger than mine, far enough! Otherwise I entirely understand that it is a complex addon which deserves more time to make that new weather radar fully functional, so I'll be patient! Can't wait, keep up the good work devs! All my support!

I would humbly argue that it does warrant an update as it is a critical feature involved in all phases of flight. That said, I know 12.3 is only in beta, and just barely at that. I do understand that it will take time to integrate this new feature into what already is the most accurate and thoroughly simulated aircraft in the market (which got to this state because it was done right instead of rushed). I'm just very excited to have a weather radar that actually performs a volumetric scan and correctly depicts what is scanned. As long as it will happen at some point, consider me happy.

Hello All! I had help from Real Simgear and the solution is: You need to set all screens in X-Plane as 2d panel ( for G1000 and MD302 ), so this way that gauges will load in that screens. Fly safe my friend! Jean from Macbare Cockpits in Brazil.

@DomWin No ETA yet. Here's how it looked about a week ago.
