PilotNuts Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) 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! Edited April 20, 2016 by PilotNuts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettojig Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) 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... Edited April 21, 2016 by Morten 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's like Tom doesn't even age. Probably a monthly bath in tears of impatient customers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Russell Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 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... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staring at him right now. He ages. A lot. 8 hours ago, Morten said: Think Cam was too young at the time 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
