known All issues with V1.21

[Shobhan Nandy]

JohnMAXX,,, I agree with the self importance part I'll try to resolve that issue by being more considerate in future posts, it's just when a study simulation doesn't abide to the official book it kind of drives me insane.

marpilot, I'll take your suggestion and fly more but it won't be this aircraft until the basic stuff is resolved.

Thank you for your consideration and replies, hopefully we will have updates in the future which will unleash the full potential of the aircraft.

And with those words, we close this topic and wish everyone a nice weekend.

The aircraft will get further updates, we apologize for the delay which is mainly a result of us doing this a as a hobby besides our "real" jobs.

I'm just now reading this and as a IXEG member and mod here, I have permissions to respond and will.  Especially since I'm the one who programmed much of the features Shobhan is lamenting and also the one who has not worked on it in some time.

First off, Shobhan complaints seem to be 100% focused on the FMC and indeed that is plausible enough as it it centric to airline operations and a big appeal for airliner sim enthusiasts.  But there are also other aspects of a airliner simulation to consider that others find equally important as well and worthy of value.  Other products, while having a more complete FMC implementation, might not have as good of visual or aural fidelity....and who's to say that "immersion of FMC accuracy" is more important to simmer A or B than "immersion of visual accuracy", or "immersion of aural accuracy", i.e. I myself enjoy the cockpit immersion, visual and aural more than the FMC usage.  I know this is not the case for you here Shobahn.

In the end, we want it all to be accurate no doubt.    A thorough FMC with a cartoony or disproportionate 3D looking airplane is very disappointing to myself......BUT....I also know the FMC is the centerpiece for most customers and worth the discussion.

At the end of the day, Shobahn is entitled to his opinion and I fully respect that....what I don't respect is his calling us lazy.  Shobahn doesn't know me, Jan, Nils and Morten from Adam. He doesn't know my wife, my daughters, their trials and tribulations, my brothers, parents and all the things in our worlds that will be important and relevant long after X-Plane is gone from our worlds and sometimes there are things that need tending to at critical times in life that have no other options.  Its just the way things can be in life. 

Now I certainly would not call Shobahn lazy because I don't know him, nor will I call him ignorant....I will say he's made some ignorant statements here in this forum though.   IXEG is made up of very very good and talented individuals....so good that each is in demand and always candidates for promotions in their own professions and they honor those committments they made there before IXEG.  

I also realize there are committments to customers, especially when money changes hands, and I will continue to honor those over time as best I can.  The whole team have a long history of longevity and committment to X-Plane.  I myself am disappointed at the timing of updates too, but things are what they are for the moment.  The alternative was to what?   say, "well we won't make the 733 100% accurate for some years and some folks will be upset one day....so lets just not do it at all?"    I do not subscribe to that strategy as i've learned that any good thing takes time and you have to start somewhere and always keep moving.... and listening to folks like Shobahn voice their criticisms and opinions along the way come with the territory.  If things don't move at a pace to satisfy all, then thats just the way it is.  

In the meantime, Shobahns comments are very much noted and understood... I even agree with about 85% of them.... and myself, being the prime author behind the FMC....will return to working on it and improving it further quite soon enough.  My situation is well documented elsewhere.  If nothing else, IXEG have demonstrated tenacity and committment to this project over many years and it will not languish as is.  If there's one group I trust to keep moving and improving the 733, even in the midst of the occasional update draughts, its Jan, Nils and Morten!
