The problem we've seen with Navigraph is that their format for procedures is inconsistent. We obviously have to write code to parse the file and interpret the procedures and Navigraph will have, in the same file, two separate syntax for the same type of procedure...and while we read one of them fine, there is a new one in there also that would take a bit of effort to parse. What this means is that if you use the navigraph dataset, then some procedure will be missing from the FMS. Ultimately, we can add code to parse this "strange syntax", but its not our first choice. The fact that there is two 'competing' syntax in the file for the same procedure type doesn't make any sense and we'd rather navigraph correct the issue. If they do that, then there is absolutely no problem with using the navigraph format. We will look into the issue post release. -tkyler

Given that Navigraph support the Aerosoft X Extended and there is no copyright / patent that can be put on a file format then I suspect that Navigraph will support the IEXG aircraft so not sure it's going to be an issue. Competition is good, hopefully will mean they get back to devs with questions

If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going. (or McDonnell Douglas).

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!
