  1. Hello, I was wondering if the Challenger 650 has similar performance issues with AMD GPUs (latest drivers) as does any SASL-based plugins? I really would like to buy the Challenger, but since I switched from a GTX 1080ti to an AMD RX7900 XT I cannot say the plugin system in X-Plane (11 as well as 12) has been good to me. Vanilla X-Plane runs really well but plugin based aircraft (e.g. ZIBO, Flight Factor 757, Rotatsim MD11, Aerobask Phenom 300) takes 38 % of the fps by completely bottlenecking the CPU (an i5 12600k). Never happen with the old GPU. So if there are any AMD GPU users, could you perhaps report on how your system performs with the Challenger?
  2. Yes the nose dropped quite significantly. The numbers in the data seems odd, though. The lift is on quite a high scale. Attached is a new dataset where I try (with questionable success) to keep the pitch (not AOA) steady. It is recorded with more datapoints to give a more precise analysis. The clock is too many for me to look into it. Will do tomorrow. Oh what the heck: Attached a coulple of extracts from the data. I am curious about the required amount of elevator input to keep the pitch. flight_data_w_AOA.csv
  3. Yes, with ?excessive? back-pressure on the yoke I can also make a good landing. The above was done with N1 at ~51 % all the way to the ground (hence you see the hump in the charts), no thrust reduction, no elevator input to ease the landing etc. As such the pilot interaction is removed and what you see is the pure output of the equations from the simulator. As an added info (will add it to the original post): Gross weight: 45 tons.
  4. Hi Morten, Jan and all you other great developers of the B737, I have followed the ground effect discussion for years and remember the extensive work Morten put into it years ago. I also noticed your recent comments on the ground effect and that you believe it is within the ballpark. Not being a pilot I have no right to say what is right or wrong but within the last 50 feets, keeping a steady descent rate and speed, the descent rate increases rapidly and there is very little elevator authority within the last 100 feet before touch down. I have attached the data-file as a CSV (european separators). Also I have attached a chart with the last 300 feet plotting lift and drag over ft (agl). I have no knowledge of aerodynamics but a loss of lift in the range of 60.000 lb below 100 ft (agl) seems extreme, doesn't it? Had I cut the throttle I would have thought it natural but with a constant N1 of ~51 % I would have guessed it would drop a lot smoother before hitting the ground. The gross weight at landing was 45 tons and I was aiming at a vref+5kts of 132 KIAS. This is with IXEG B733 v1.21 and X-Plane 11.20b2. Best regards, Mikkel flight_data.csv
  5. Hi Skymaxx, Out of curiousity, I wonder how Skymaxx and RWC represents overcast layers from metars? I very briefly tried loading the sim at an airport where the NOAA plug-in reported OVC but what I saw was some broken layer and no the overcast layer set in Skymaxx (and no, it isn't set to dense or sparse particles :-)). If I get the time I will take some screenshots. Best regards; Mikkel
  6. Hi all, I may have missed it in the manual somewhere but how do I for instance do the fire alarm test where you hold down the test button followed by pressing the master alarm and warning to cancel the alarm ringing? Best regards, Mikkel
  7. Nice of IXEG to respond to an unsatisfied and not entirely constructive user. Good service for an absolutely brilliant product. I remember PMDG had problems as well with their NG. Given the complexity of the product and the variety of the end users' systems I cannot imagine even the thread owner of this thread to have produced a perfectly reliable product under such conditions. Chill out. Look out the window or do other things that makes you more happy .
  8. I should add that his is if I set the transition level during cruise. Haven't tested it if I set it prior to take-off.
  9. Hi IXEG team, Every time, when I set the transition level in the descend forecast page the profile becomes off-set by several thousand feet. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Version 1.0.2 Best regards, Mikkel
  10. Hi Cameron, Thank you very much indeed! Good to be back in the world of X-Plane (and X-Aviation). Best regards, Mikkel
  11. Dear X-Aviation, Could I please ask you to re-activate my download for the CRJ-200 (order number 4718)? I sent you a request some weeks ago but it must have been lost in all the busy work with IXEG, Real Weather Connector, Skymaxx 3.1 etc. all of which have left an empty Space in my pocket . Anyway, I just sent you another request via the contact form as well as this post hear - redundancy can be a good thing :). Also, I am unsure whether XP9 customers will have to buy a new copy of the aircraft to get to version 10? I purchased mine years ago before XP10 launched and have been away for years. Recent trends at X-Aviation got me back :). So could you please help me out? Best regards, Mikkel Gylling Hangaard
  12. Is it only me that find it a little odd, that house facades are illuminated as much as they are? Makes it all a bit more illuminated than I find realistic... Anyway, it looks cool!
  13. As far as I know it is a fact that the engine model in X-Plane is somewhat mediocre (I have no idea about FSX). I believe a few years ago Morten from the XPFW-group elaborated on this - and although I don't know I'm quite sure the engine performance on the IXEG B733 will be tweaked by a plug-in. But inducing from that statement, that the whole simulation is flawed is of course incorrect.
  14. :-[ Okay, I'm officially stupid Thank you very much
  15. Here is my system (CPU clock is 3.4 ghz so disregard it is saying 800mhz:
