Hi Diego, The aircraft has three start up options at present which are selectable in a custom window for the product (subject to change however the dev team sees fit): Cold and Dark - Engines and all other systems are off, such as would be the case before the first morning flight.Turn-around - A typical between-flight scenario. Engines are off, the APU is powering the relevant systems. IRS is aligned.Ready to Fly - Engines and all systems are powered and running and IRS is aligned. The aircraft is ready to fly.

In addition, we are providing a series of tutorial PDFs that are aimed at newbies to airliners. We will not be providing official Boeing documentation...its a bit overwhelming, comes with a rather expensive copyright license and not the best source for folks who want to learn about airliner operation in a progressive manner. Though a developer here, I am NOT an airliner guy...at least not yet, I am quite the beginner myself and we are going to leverage my ignorance here to help develop more comprehensive training resources suitable to folks like us to bring us up to speed over time. -tkyler

During our initial beta testing all the testers went through our tutorials, which were in "written" form. While we will have those, all testers said that a video would go a long way in making everything even more comprehensible. So I am likely going to start on the tutorial videos soon, and there is a chance that we will release those before the actual plane on our youtube channel. Not decided yet, however. Cheers, Jan

There is a winglet version, and you can switch between winglet and non-winglet "on the fly" if you wish.

Hello Captains, It is with great excitement we announce the opening of the IXEG discussion forums. You'll note multiple sections here. The first is where you've now ended up, which is General Discussion topics about IXEG as a whole and any future products, or questions you may have to ask to the team. The second is an official Work In Progress section where multiple topics will be created by the team to show you progress of add-ons (at this time the 737 Classic). I have the privilege to show you a few exclusive 737 Classic screenshots on a beta test flight I did between KSFO and KLAX. Before I get on to these, however, you should check out the brand new video showcasing the 737 Classic's FMC route editing features. Now, enjoy the screenshots! NOTE: Click images to see larger!

Hi there, I'm Claudio from SimCoders.com. We just released the new Reality Expansion Pack v2.0 for X-Plane. It's an A2A-Like software for the C210 by Carenado. The new version adds more complex engine dynamics, more damages (such as engine's oversquare operations and failures), the interactive walkaround, the towing and other stuff that you may like. Here's a video of the walkaround and the towing: You can find more informations at http://www.simcoders...nado-cessna-210 We're going to release the same thing for the F33A Bonanza. Hope you like it!

Yes, the tutorials will be free, both written and video. But they will cater to the average simulator pilot, starting with a very simple flight-pattern all the way to more complex flights with full use of FMS and autopilot system. I am pondering the idea to make more in-depth and detailed videos, covering special aspects like approaches, abnormals, etc. at a later stage, possibly as payware for a small price. But the basic documentation and tutorials for this plane to get you up and flying from quick-flight to serious LNAV and VNAV are always free!

Beautiful! Just Beautiful!!! Pray for Paris!

I'm only interested in two words , it's released Seriously I have seen enough to tell my that this is a 5 star addon which surpasses many if not all what has preceded. If I had to I would compare this in FSX or P3D to Captain Sim and PMDG where IXEG 737 is the PMDG and the rest Captain Sim nice to look at but not even half done as far as systems integration and modeling is concerned and on top of this the developers try and charge the earth for their wares. I am so eager to fly this plane it will be together with the the Mad Dog that is also around the corner be the only two planes I continue to fly. That's my suspicion in any case.

Diego, At some point more time will be dedicated to showing some liveries, including how many. There's quite a number already thanks to Morten, but we'll save that for a later discussion.

I'm also a "jump in and fly for fun" kinda guy. You won't find me doing cross country on VATSIM. The 737 is addictive to fly. It beckons you to learn the systems more deeply. The fact that the IXEG team have poured so many hours into doing the systems right is deeply rewarding. The autopilot is easy enough that you can jump in and mess around doing a hop to a nearby airport for fun. The systems are deep enough that it goes beyond the feeling of a game. It's genuinely constructive to learn.

Sooo jealous you have this already flying through your skies Maybe there's a small Winglet Present placed under my christmas tree )

Build for yourself. Build with passion. Share with as many people as you can afford to.

Certainly we have thought about it and my personal take on is, "make it a preference". Of course the nature of implmenting the preference in a reliable way demands some forethought..maybe not much, but certainly not none. We are on a fast track to getting a accurate and operable aircraft out, but will give up on what we call, "conveniences" until after the initial release. Its been five years, time to get something out the door and our position is as long as you can operate the aircraft fully and reliably (for VATSIM ops and realistic operation), that we'll take that for an initial release. That being said...you can see from the videos that the controls are quite operable and dare we say, "natural" after a bit of usage....not perfect, but not bad. There are times I wish I had a scroll wheel, but its few and far between. ....so lack of the feature is definetly not a reason to withold release. Our list of TODOs, post release is decently long: more animations, more preferences, hardware integration, failures module, more convenience tools, etc. Which ones get addressed first, or make it out the door before the initial release remains to be seen. -tkyler

Wycliffe, I'd venture to say David was talking about one or more of these products you've mentioned. No need to sugarcoat the reality of X-Plane at current. Numerous developers have acknowledged challenging problems in their simulations that are not easy to fix, including CTD issues if you enter something improper in the FMC. I'm not about to point out one or more specific developers, but the selection of airliner sims for X-Plane is slim pickings and we've been due for positive change. IXEG have worked very hard to get where they are today (FIVE years!), so let's take that into consideration and acknowledge their hard efforts to do this proper. It certainly WILL be a first for X-Plane.

You almost gave me a heart attack when I received your email!!!!!!! For 15 seconds I thought it was released in your store!!! I've been following the project since 2011!!! I should almost get it for free!!!
