reincarnate Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Since IXEG is very serious about system depth and the "feeling" while operating the aircraft, it's necessary that at least a real pilot is a member of the team. You know they are developing a 747 for example, if a captain with the right type rating joins the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_alligator Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 A320 gets my vote. It's such a popular airliner and we don't have a good one for X-Plane. However, I'd also love to see the A380, so far there isn't a good one on any platform. It's been flying in the real world for so long now it's about time somebody tackled it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljaz41 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was secretly hoping for the Concorde, too, and one of the big teams in flight sim world to decide and make one for the X-Plane. The system complexity and the nature of flying this aircraft have always fascinated me, truly an engineering marvel. I imagine it would take a lot of effort to make but an unimaginable joy to fly. Of course if such a project is out of the IXEG scope, certainly an MD-11 shouldn't be Ok, first let's wait for the 737-300 and remain busy with it for a while, but a long haul aircraft would make a good complement to it.

I'm guessing it'd be mostly modeling work that'd have to be done. However, for what I'd really love to see (mainly due to the increased range) is a -500, and I KNOW that would be difficult. Either way, I'm not going to get ahead of myself. I'd like to have a -300 first Interesting, I thought the -400 would be more difficult because there are some changes to the pressurization system due to the longer fuselage. But yeah, the -300 is my favorite, too, for various reasons :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't really have a preference between the CLs, but I hope they do a -500 because it means I can fly farther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the fact that Jan doesn't seem to be a big fan of Airbuses (understatement of the year?), they have mentioned that developing an Airbus to the degree of realism IXEG strives for is likely close to impossible or simply not feasible. If you're looking for a good A320 or A380, your best bet is probably waiting for QPAC to get their update out. I could also see Flight Factor doing an A380, considering it's somewhat closer to the A350 than other aircraft. Neither of these will probably be as deep of a simulation as the 737C though. QPAC's A320 might get close some day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPNils Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) So how about a nice and small SAAB Safir as a side project? Something entirely different from the big jets. Edited February 13, 2016 by LPNils 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeropayo Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 What's next?... I think is not the time to talk about the next project when this one is still latest stage of development. But on the other hand, and while we impatiently wait for the release, it is OK to dream about what bird these guys can make. But for now I think the next will be that IXEG take a deserved rest and a deep breath before starting to deal with all the questions and posts, and for sure a huge number of people asking for help, once is finally released !!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. They deserve to do whatever they want and need. Indeed, I think this topic is just a little bit of fun. Indeed dreaming about what they could turn their abilities to. Neither of us is in a position to demand anything 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Plane Junkies Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 It would actually be nice to eventually release the -400 and -500 variant. I think it is safe to say that would take considerably less effort than completely new aircraft. I also don't know if a cargo variant ever was a factory option, but I have seen some quick change models, combi and full on cargo -300s... Maybe a cargo variant for those freight dogs out there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPNils Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hmm. Another airliner I've missed since switching over to XP is either a Fokker 70/100 or Fokker 50/60. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually flew few days ago on Swiss' fokker 100(operated by helvetic) to Zurich, coincidentally to attend training in Swiss Aviation. Those planes definitely have some charm!
