Hey guys, I would like to announce XRealSim's new project, the Cessna Citation Excel (other names: Cessna Citation XLS/Cessna Citation 560XL). The project will feature: - a 3D cockpit with some systems, - 3D cabin - 3D fuselage with opening doors, luggage doors, - fully animated exterior and probably the cockpit as well - detailed paint & model and much much more. Some progress images: Matija & Ilias

Hello, all, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.5.3 update for the Take Command! CRJ-200. All customers who have purchased the Take Command! CRJ-200 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete installation instructions on how to update your product. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the Take Command! CRJ-200 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.5.3 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviati...talog/login.php 2. View your past order history invoice that contains the Take Command!: CRJ-200 purchase on it. 3. At the bottom of the invoice you will find a blue highlighted link to your update that says: "Take Command!: CRJ-200". There are some important fixes and requests implemented in this update. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: General changes: New, friendlier activation systemX-Plane 10 compatible only64-bit compatible onlyUnder the hood changes (primarily carryover from 1.5.2):64-bit X-Plane compatibility introducedCorrected fuel quantity indication in CDU menuAdjusted APU fuel consumptionCorrected behavior of fuel pumps at very low fuel quantitiesCorrected bleed air indications in case of engine failureCompany route name is now displayed correctlyRemote CDU now detects iPad browser and disables touch-scrolling ONLY when displayed on an iPadWe realize this update took a long while to get out, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process. 64-bit proved to be a challenging task to achieve in some situations, but we're pleased to get this out to you as an end result of a lot of long hours and dedication to the conversion process. As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

That's precisely what it means. 1.5.2 is the exact same as this update, except it is for 32-bit. If you want to stick with 32-bit, then stick with 1.5.2. There's no difference to the features.

Well the first crash of the superjet was because the pilots didn't know what the terrain warning was. They just turned it off. And maybe this time they turned the master caution system off because they were making some tests. And they did have one engine off for test reasons at the time of the crash. And for the defenders of the 787: This is a complete different story because the plane itself had no problems. This time it was pure pilot error.

I read they were making approaches for autoland certification, which included approaches on one engine. There was nothing saying the crash approach was one with an engine out, although that would certainly increase the work. They have really got to stop crashing this nice little aircraft. It should at least have been warning the pilots audibly of too low/terrain/landing gear.

The timer was sent to Philip as an example. A serving suggestion, if you will. Gizmo licensing has to-the-second resolution, which leaves the possibility of trials/rentals/bonuses, all sorts of things. It's at the discretion of the content author and publisher as to how they setup their timing. A reasonably small time delay also means that we can automatically display the registration wizard in a timely manner when starting, restarting or reconfiguring your airplanes... The CRJ plugin need only query if the license is good and Gizmo handles the rest. This makes it very simple for authors to integrate and compile the DRM code in their plugin. (It did take a while to -get- here, but it's the best content protection solution we've had yet by a very wide margin, for all parties.) An initial release defaulting to more (yet, reasonable) log data is always the best bet when deploying a new system to a wide range of unknown computers. Thankfully we haven't needed the data yet, but if we had, we knew it was going to be there. Trivia: Did you know that the entire system bus for something like an Xbox 360 is encrypted? All the data, on all the wires, all the time. (well, from very shortly after boot...) 5 seconds is fairly low, it's just that you get to see it.

Curious. The log shows me the same error I occassionally receive when shutting down X-Plane without changing to a different plane. Your workaround, however, seems to do the trick.

Fair enough. But it is the highest resolution license check I have ever seen.

Appreciate the concern about Log pollution. We'll tidy it up, but it's not something I think you need to worry about while you fly. Here's why: 60 * 60 = 3600 / 5 = 720 reports an hour. Log packet is approx 244 bytes. 244 * 720 = 175,680 bytes per hour 175,680* 24 = 4,216,320 bytes per day So your exposure is about 4 megs per day of continuous sim use.

Definitely the Dash! I flew the ATR a few times and then removed it. Regarding the eye candy, I don't even think it excelled in that area tbh, even though that was their claim to fame ... its on par with many other X-Plane payware planes and in some case even below par!

The log filling is an oversight. We'll fix it. Everyone has been pretty burnt out over the months with debugging, so thanks for your understanding.

My wife actually came running over to me to ask "what's wrong?!" when I got the email regarding the CRJ-200 update. She thought I was going to keel over. Very excited about this. PilotEdge now supports SFO, so I'm going to try a SAN to SFO run right now and stretch the CRJ's legs a bit more than I have in the past! Thanks for getting this update done, guys. It's greatly appreciated.

Nice! Hope to see this one soon, my most anticipated project at the moment!

Thank you Thank you thank you we've waited soooo long for this!!!

Why do you keep replying to very old posts? In my opinion, the Dash. The ATR's developers say it all. "Eyecandy Simmin". All eyecandy, second to no systems. Also, you know all those promised liveries? The only way to get them is through EPort, and they don't have all of them. After McPhat promised so many free paints, they closed their freeware section, and kept it that way for 6 months while they "transferred" to a new site. Unless you want the eyecandy, no updates, no good liveries, then get the ATR. If you want something worth $35, get the Dash... Edit- Even though the freeware site is up, they still don't have the ATR liveries. In fact, this should be in the rant section... In fact, if you want an amazing turboprop regional, X-Aviation has the best selection of the best planes. The J32 and the MU-2 may be a bit smaller than the Dash or the ATR, but they are MUCH better. (I have all 4). If you want something a bit bigger, try the An-24, or wait for the LES Saab.

^-------What he said Just to add to that, we COULD choose to go the "lite" road, but we gave up on that and we're only interested in creating near 100% procedure level aircraft add ons.

Arriving at CYTZ.

Hats off to Leen! I can only hope that he'll make SprintAir at some time
