Tkyler explained in this thread the reason for the long delay, and I can understand that the 737CL is a secondary business, but it is a business none the less. Once you hang out your shingle, and release a product, it's not unreasonable to expect it to be supported. Once you take another persons money for a product or service, the reasons for not having enough time to support the product or service really don't matter to the buyers. So, I can see avantime's point for sure, and I think it's a very valid one. On the other hand, for me, I guess I just don't care that much about it to get worked up. I too came from MSFS, so I didn't realize that the payware world was "different" in X-Plane, to put it politely. I'm still enjoying the 737, and will roll with the punches. Tim

I posted these on Avsim and thought these might help the next guy that buys the plane to spend more time flying and less time hunting. Just posting as a public service not as an endorsement of any product. If you found some stuff i missed I would like to see them too.

There are not voices (IE "pin is inserted") Manual setup can be a bit frustrating to figure out but someone has already done the work for you (Link below). http://handling.jardesign.org/ and get the planes file (ie already to go for the IXEG) from: http://jardesign.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1942 Liveries: http://jardesign.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=32 Haversine FMS: This tool is awesome if you have an iPad!!! http://air.ipobjects.com/airfmc RemoteFlight: Worth every cent!! This will let you set your radios, nav & comm as well as your transponder. The gauges also work. There is a moving map app too if you want that kinda thing. BTW -it works in FSX too. Value for money!!! https://remoteflight.net/ iGocConnect: I personally have only lightly tested this as I use PFPX. Works great to give you a better visual reference to setup your weights. As for the flight planning. It can send your route to the FMC (One of the only ways to do this for now - Another program listed below) (PFPX cannot send routes ….yet but sounds like they are working on it) http://igoapp.ca/page10/igodispatchsaab.html Route to FMC: I actually use PFPX but to get the route to the FMC I found one option is: Route to FMC: (A quick paste option) http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/32688-route-to-ixeg-fmc/ I just use the Haversine FMS outlined above then just save my routes in sim. X-RAAS2: Easy to setup and loads of configurations. I am still amazed by the great X-Plane community with free addons like this. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36360-x-raas-runway-awareness-and-advisory-system/ Vspeed callouts: Vidal. For some reason the sounds from the default copilot for vspeeds are super low and I could not hear them. This plugin fixed that for me: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/33150-ixeg-b737-300-v-speed-call-outs/ Crew: This works ok. It gives you crew announcements. It is a bit spotty from my experience and the callouts can be awkward sometimes. This probly has to due with my setup or a conflict somewhere and not the authors fault. Still I would not go without it. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/35761-b733-crew-by-georgy-for-ixeg-737/ TugMaster: Bouncy too but when it works right will be mint! Works great in XP10. IXEG has a default tug that works great but this one you an use your joystick. http://store.x-plane.org/TugMaster-Deluxe_p_310.html This would work great for if your plane sits overnight at a remote stand (pretending here) and needs to be tugged to the gate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZelzO-OKIc Nav Data: To update your FMC. I use Navigraph (paid app) and direct it to the IXEG folder (it does support it). I also found it easier sometimes just to do a manual placement into the IXEG folder. This will get the FMC (CDU) to read up to date on the opening screen. https://www.navigraph.com/fmsdatamanualinstall.aspx GoFlight Interface Tool. Setup those goflight panels in XPlane. I have 7-GF panels and MCP. Man o man I cursed this tool at first but once I got the hang of it, it works great. Just no good tuts on using it in XPlane. Rob has a good one for FSX/P3D but it works a little bit different in Xplane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M2YrVHU2ew It is actually easier to use in XPlane than how it works in FSX/P3d since it uses "Datarefs". I hope to do a write up on using the GIT tools in the future. http://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/ BTW I tried several other tools for the GoFlight panels. Save yourself from gray hairs and just pay for this one. Datarefs: Learning to work with "Datarefs" This one was a bit confusing and frustrating at first but I had a good teacher: http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/12717-how-to-access-custom-manipulator-datarefs/

Hi, I was having some fun today trying to imitate a video that was quite popular on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RO66a_nvus) using the IXEG 737 . I intentionally applied reverse thrust below 10ft above the ground (which is possible in the real 737 and also in the IXEG 737). Good job, IXEG Greetings, Julius

Coming from FSX, I can see that it's very prevalent for X-plane developers to release unfinished addons, but at full price. It's business practices like this that turns away returning customers, because people are left stranded waiting for patches for months, if not 1+ year, with no ability to get a refund. $75 is a lot of money for an addon and customers are right to expect patches in a reasonable timeframe. For me it's the the lack of cabin night lighting (it's like flying a ghost plane at night), PROG page and FMC crashes that really bugs me.

I'm beta testing a woman right now. Once that process is done, I'll commit to a release date.

Take all the time that you guys need. The iXEG project flies beautifully and I enjoy it a lot! For me personally whenever you ready i'm ready no rush. Quality takes time and I know that for iXEG team that's the main goal

I could've conceived a child in the time it has taken for IXEG to release a patch. You don't have to remind them to take their time.

some of us did.
