Falco on 64 bit

[larjeet]

Hey tom just wondering why the switches and canopy latch don't work in 64 bit version ?

Because the Falco plugin is not 64-bit.

I haven' compiled the Falco plugins to 64-bit yet Larry.   Dealing with 3 operating systems is a pain...its the main reason why we're all wanting to go with gizmo and we wont' have to deal with that kind of stuff.  I suspect I'll get to the Falco at some point.  I have higher priority things that I must manage first though.

The Falco has officially been adapted to the new Gizmo workflow pipeline and is 90% converted to Gizmo (in only 7 hours of work).   This does NOT mean it will come out in the next week.  I am using the Falco for testing 2 new frameworks for electrical and sound systems.    It is fair to say though that the 64-bit Gizmo version of the Falco will probably be out sometime in the summer if not sooner

Hi,

Can someone please let me know whether the drop dead gorgeous Falco is 64-bit capable (this thread suggests it will have happened some time ago), and whether the Falco will run in XP 10.30.

Honestly, there isn't a Carenado or Alabeo that can match the Falco, so even if you have something for Falco pilots to try even if less than 100% for now, then please let us have it!

Thanks,

Fabio

Sorry, we've locked Tom in a room with nothing but a computer and a 737 FMS reference manual until further notice.

[Cameron]

It is not 64-bit compatible.

[Fab10]

In that case, I respectfully suggest that Tom needs a break (and I'd wager that he would heartily agree with me).

Please give Tom the Falco manual instead, a cup of tea, two or three biscuits, and a deadline for next week!

[Ben Russell]

I respectfully counter that there's a reason why this thread sat idle for over a year.

The Falco actually sits a good way toward 64-bit compatibility but enough remains that it needs a window of time I can't fit into my schedule at the moment.  The good news is that the Falco will see 64-bit light of day (barring my untimely death) and improved when it does....and it will be a great value too.

Take a few more months. I don't have my new simming computer yet. Maybe by the end of the year. Your schedule is fine...

Enthusiastically looking forward to a 64-bit Falco!

That's the trouble with homebuilds, they do take time!....

Any news on this being 64-bit yet? Would love to get this plane back in my personal hanger but time is passing and no joy - yet?

 

Thanks

It's one of my favorite aircraft too. Truth be told, I don't think we'll see much of ANYTHING from Tom until after his obligations on the IXEG 737 are completed.

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I can well understand and will have to curb my enthusiasm until ...

 

Just open that door and throw an occasional beer to Tom.

Good to know it's even in the pipeline, I really love the Falco!
