A little finding...

[PilotNuts]

To celebrate the upcoming release of IXEG 737 Classics, I opened up one of my earliest downloaded aircraft back in I was using XP9: the XPFW 737-300, just wanted to start to have some feeling of the 737 Classics again. To my surprise, I found this:

Look at those little words on the bottom of the picture... It's our dear @Morten and @tkyler!

I wonder if there's any connection between this and IXEG 737 Classics...

Anyway, let's all enjoy this upcoming weekend!

Ah the XPFW says, good times. Seems like yesterday that I was flying their 767, 747,757 and 737

I just re-downloaded that for a trip down memory lane - My first ever published airline livery was for that plane! Oh my! And I only published that 6 months after the very first IXEG video was released - And 1 month before the IXEG blog came online! 

Oh, and its amazing to think how far we've come... I remember this being jaw-dropping when I first saw it! 

 

 

EDIT: Ok, Ok, so I couldn't resist re-downloading my old file and trying it - I probably haven't set eyes on that work since 2011... By my standards now it is dodgy as (14-year old me would be in awe of me now) but there is really something special about it  And hey, still better than I expected from myself!

Yes, Tom and I go back many years to XPFW, also Peter and Cam has helped us out.  So basically you can say the 733 has been in development well over a decade.  If I recall correct, the XPFW 733 was the first heavy in XP to have a "somewhat" working 3D cockpit many years ago.  Remember showing it off  in xCannes in 2005.  Here is a pic of the event.  See if you can spot young versions of us and Austin. (Think Cam was too young at the time  )

EDIT:  Wrong pic, thisone is from 2005 in Cannes, below is from 2009 in Paris.

Good old days  

X-Plane has made progress...

It's like Tom doesn't even age. Probably a monthly bath in tears of impatient customers.

I cobbled together a stasis machine with a matrix cortex jack... it's all held together with some electrical tape, zip ties and an arduino but it got the job done...

I'm staring at him right now. He ages. A lot.

I can see myself in one of them at least.

 

We all certainly do go way back. For those unaware, I started the X-Plane Freeware Project back in December of 1999. Morten came on as on of the first members on the team and has been a nagging ache in my life ever since!

Great post! I think to find out how you got where you are,you need to first remember with whom and where you've been.

Speaking of which... for me, it started here.

Haha looks like photoreal scenery

XPFW and Morten... that heritage is how we all know that this IXEG creation is going to be amazing!   

I have it in my cart but it won't let me pay yet. :-p
