You are welcome and thank you for taking action on that! I love that bird :-) . Would be great a fix could be provided somewhen. Have a great week! best, Stephan

Hi Stephan, I can confirm that behavior! Thanks for finding this bug - I will alert @tkyler to this, it is probably just an oversight - you are the first to mention it! Thanks for the profound and well researched report, Jan

It did not accelerate anything, and I don't want anyone else thinking such either.

They must have been in a good mood. ;-)

Thank you guys!

Thanks! But, oddly enough, a repeated question in the support service only accelerated the response and solution of the problem.

This is not the case. Forums also do not report when someone last visited if they elect to keep their browsing private in user settings. I've seen this from you a few times now, so please stop spreading misinformation on the status of a developers' presence. Tom is around (and working) as normal. We are in contact each and every day.

Hi at all. I have read that TDS is starting the beta of this product (differently from the RXP, it's possible to update AIRAC with Navigraph), and its will be release soon. I hope in an update of the MU-2 with this integration

Is there a good way to taxi with the DC-3 (classic) when no rudder pedals (or joystick with a twist axis) is available? I understand, that the most realistic way to do this would be the use of rudder pedals but due to space constraints, I am not currently able to use them. I am using a Logitech ATK3 Joystick, so I have normal X/Y axis and an additional vertical axis for throttle. I'm would be fine with assigning something on the keyboard for the purpose of taxiing but so far I have not found anything that wouldn't adversly effect usability during flight. Other aircraft with a nosewheel steering work fine with just the joystick but obviously, the DC-3 is more special. I enabled differential breaking and differential thrust for ground handling in the settings and played around with various sensitivities. As long as nothing is assigned to the rudders in my setup, X-Plane will apply automatic rudder based on the aileron. (see also https://developer.x-plane.com/article/rudder-auto-coordination-in-x-plane-12/). Note that this "auto rudder" will cease to work once the rudder is manipulated through any other means (e.g. keystrokes assigned to rudder left/right/center). While auto-rudder works, 100% aileron will result in 20% rudder. However, that does not control the direction of the plane on the ground regardless of the differential breaking or differential throttle settings and tailwheel locking status. I can get some control when assigning rudder to keystrokes but then there will be no auto-rudder in flight which makes flying the aircraft very difficult. I also tried using keystrokes for reducing or increasing power on engines individually but that interfered with the throttle assignemnt on the joystick (once the keystrokes are used, controlling both engines with the joystick no longer works) Maybe there are other things to try...

Just a Minor TFR Violation. Happy 4th of July!!

Hello No I don’t I just happened to notice today YSSY near my home city YBBN has GLS approaches. More out of interest than anything. Great aircraft my favourite in XP12 hanger. Regards

Hi there, The discount was valid for 60 days after release back in 2023.

No, and I don't anticipate it to really be a thing for a very long time. The focus will solely be on the -300 variant.

TDS supports crossfill now!

G'day guys, has anyone had any luck with this? I've been trying myself but unfortunately not much luck!

@Cameron Hello! How are you? Several of us are waiting for an update on this metal bird. Is there any way to find out about Take Command!'s future plans and its updates for X-plane 12? Thank you very much.

Agree with the above. The CSS 737-500 for MSFS was so popular that CSS had their servers crash because so many people wanted to download the aircraft, it's exciting to see that there is a good demand for the 737 Classics. I know X-Plane is a significantly smaller market compared to MSFS, but there have been various constants that I've noticed 1) People love the IXEG aircraft, it's a jet that has really held the test of time and is to this day a really solid aircraft 2) People want the other varients, the 737-400 and Freighter have consistently come up as a desired expansions for the IXEG product. However - it's hard to recommend and convince people when there is no real idea of what the IXEG team are doing and whether the next update will be a minor update, address known issues, or completely revamp the aircraft. I think a lot of people want IXEG to do really well (myself included) because I think it's truly an excellent aircraft.

First time I’ve tried it in XP12. Plane is ok for me in XP 12.2 beta 6. I have yet to do a long flight but I’ll report back, but so far sounds are great, controls are great, loading/fuel worlds, RXP 530 works. Lighting seems perfect so far. I’ll try some other loacations. Only things that seem amiss are to do with the aircon and possibly the de-icing but I haven’t used it in years so that might just be me. I must say, given that it is absolutely flyable and without literally any graphical glitches for me in 12.2, I cannot for the life of me understand why it hasn’t been updated. Like, how long would it reasonably take to slap a compatibility update on this thing? I’d pay for it. Others would also pay if this thread is anything to go by. It’s a unique plane in X-Plane both aesthetically and in terms of the airlines that still use it and it genuinely sucks that we still don’t have it ‘officially’. Thanks *oh I guess technically the windshield is ‘dirty’ or has permanent rain drops on it but that’s minor to the point that I don’t even know if I can be bothered fixing it.

Basic nav aid panel with the fms. Tracking the LOC inbound just before intercepting the GS you have to manually release the altitude hold then it will track the GS. Interesting as I've never come across this. Usually with GS intercept the altitude hold trips off.

D-EILR for the LR C172 View File This is a livery for the default C172, inspired by D-EILR. This also works if you have the REP, of course. To install, extract the zip file into the "liveries" folder. If you enjoy my work, consider supporting me on Patreon to cover some of the horrendous Adobe-costs ;).

Well, after strugling a lot with differente solutions, i decided to do myself an excel sheet to make the job. I'm not a native speaker, so i did it like i could. Do your best to use it. W&B CL650.xlsx

I don't have any good solution to offer, but I'll try myself to find what's possible to be done with that kind of setup. If nothing good turns out, I'll see if I can add some kind of option, in the next update, to help you.

I can certainly appreciate your anticipation and eagerness for the update. Currently, we're working diligently on adapting to the intricacies introduced by X-Plane 12, especially due to its major changes affecting our unique turbine engine model. While I'd love to give you a specific timeline, we're diving deep into a comprehensive re-write on multiple levels to ensure the best possible experience for our users. Therefore, it's difficult to pinpoint a release date. All I can assure you is that we're committed to getting it right, rather than rushing it. Quality takes time. We appreciate your patience and understanding. It'll definitely be worth the wait.
