Morten XPFW Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Hi all,I'm VERY happy to get the honor of announcing this project which I know many have been waiting for (In-sim shot, not a render)A new team called IXEG - International X-Plane Engineering Group has been formed to make thiswonderful classic aircraft.The team is handpicked for the job, and, as the name indicates consists of mainly engineers which also have very long experience with X-Plane. In addition we have an in-type captain as consultant.I'm sure the Boeing 737 Classic needs no further introductions since most of you probably havebeen in one. To be a bit more precise, it will be the B737-300.It will have it all, FMC, full plugin driven systems, and the most accurate flightmodel ever made for any heavy in X-Plane.Visually it will be state of the art, so will also the 3D panel with manipulators and whatever v10 might contain of new features.The answer to the question most of you probably are thinking of right now ...ETA is Christmas 2011 M 1 Quote
Oliver Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Ahhhhhh beautiful, just beautiful! Thanks so much! Can't wait! Quote
Simmo W Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 O M G. that's all that's worth saying, speechless Quote
Kaphias Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Looks wonderful, you know we were all expecting the NG when you said 737 though. Regardless, I hope this expands to include the -400 and -500. Quote
MaidenFan Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I'm bouncing off of the walls right now. 1 Quote

Regardless, I hope this expands to include the -400 and -500.With gauges and quality like that, be thankful for the 300. Cmon, give em a chance to get one up and running. Can't wait! Quote
Oliver Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I'm bouncing off of the walls right now.Don't bounce too much, you've got to bounce for still more then a year lol Quote
MaidenFan Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 Haha, you're probably right, but there's other stuff to bounce off the walls about. The T34 is coming out very soon. Quote
Morten XPFW Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Posted August 25, 2010 Ok, a few more preview shots.All panel and gauge moving parts will be represented by modelled and animated object geometry and, naturally, be manipulated to match all functionality of the gauges found in the real 737-300. Example;One should not only be able to take basic actions like setting barometric pressure but also, for instance, move the white airspeed bugs on the ASI and switch the target airspeed bug (amber one) between manual and auto mode.Since X-Plane 10 will most likely offer new and more potent ways of lighting geometry in the sim, it's too early to show exactly what panel lighting in the IXEG 737 Classic will look like. This pic is a prototype showing one possible approach to night lighting. The light effects in this pic are "baked" into the object texture and no rendering tricks have been used."We'll upload more previews soon - so stay tuned M Quote
MdMax Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 It looks awesome ! I love the speed bugs ! ;D Quote
HellionDarklord Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 I want to learn to do stuff just like this!!! 1 Quote
Goran_M Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Absolutely no one stopping you. Read up on 3D modelling, texturing and programming and give it your best. Quote
samen Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 I really gotta start learning render baking light effects etc. Is this accomplished by a plugin. I mean after turning on the battery and avionics these lights come on and the texture is changed? Quote
-TheoGregory Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Bakes, LIT textures, and ATTR Light Levels. Quote
AnonymousUser68 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Yeah Speechless. It looks amazing. I cant believe its Freeware. Quote
AnonymousUser68 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 Damn, To good to be true. Looks real good though. I'll still definitely buy. After I buy all these yet to be released aircraft there will be decent sized hole in my pocket. Quote
Kesomir Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 aye, you're confusing this with the freeware x737, which is also an excellent project ( I think an -800) and should get a 3d pit in the next release. Quote
AnonymousUser68 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 Its going to get one. Its planned for version 5 Quote
Morten XPFW Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Posted September 2, 2010 EHSI sample shots.These shots are taken in the sim! The EHSI will include all modes and pages.As you can see, it might be an idea to start reading the 737 AOM already.. 1 Quote
scubajuan Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Very nice! When can we spect this baby to roll out? Quote
Oliver Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Very nice! When can we spect this baby to roll out?It says on the thread, ETA = Christmas 2011 Quote
AnonymousUser68 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 Sounds like a realistic date. With the Crj-200 I got a maybe for Christmas 2009. Quote
