XPAfrica Posted July 29, 2010 Report Posted July 29, 2010 This thread has been started ages ago, so i'm sorry if waking it up is unwanted, but i thought it deserved an answer: XCopilot seems not to be developped anymore. GoodWay Team has not updated its flight planning software in ages either and the last post on the XCopilot website is dated from end of october 2008 if i'm not mistaking. This is really too bad since their work was highly appreciated by many x-plane users, but from what i've overheard here and there, they have other things keeping them busy right now (which, in a way, is good news i guess).So i'll be like many others, waiting for them to take up work again, or for someone else to develop new solutions for these x-plane needs.
MaidenFan Posted July 29, 2010 Report Posted July 29, 2010 That would be cool to have a copilot. Hope this comes through
dpny Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 GoodWay hasn't officially killed XCoPilot, but I'd assume it's dead. They've been updating GoodWay, but that seems to be it.Just for the record, GodoWay isn't a company as you might think. It's more of a loose collective.
XPAfrica Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 indeed it is - sad thing is many users paid for software that is not being supported anymore, even if this is not officia. The "Team" kinda closed all access possibilities users had to them - if you do not send emails with a subject containing a precise set of words, your email will end-up in their spam folder (which kind-of reminds one of other x-plane devs struggeling with anti-spam and becoming unreachable...is it really that hard to handle email traffic?). Many users therefore even fail to reach them when there is a licence problem or anything of that sort. That's pretty sad because people get sore quickly over such behaviours and you can already read rants about GoodWay in a fair number of x-plane related fora.
