  1. This is correct. Our 737 will have only one FMS, just like most of the Classic 737´s out there. So it´s just one computer connected to two control-display-units (CDU´s). If the one FMS fails, you loose it all. Therefore this (our) model would not be allowed to fly in the North Atlantic MNPS airspace. That being said, I can guarantee that our FMS will not fail on you during the transatlantic flight, and I will not rat on you for taking the trip with just one FMS, either. If you want to take the trip "full realism" you have to take the detour out of MNPS airspace, maybe top off the fuel in Keflavik, then over to Iqaluit or Gander. Depending on the headwinds... The challenge is actually in getting this setup working. You can enter stuff on two different "keyboards", but need to keep tabs on each one, update information on both...its not trivial. You can have the LEGS page on both CDU´s, and both pilots *could* be editing away, that stuff makes a programmer drink too much coffee... Having two or more FMS computers is easy. You just say "we have 5 FMS computers". Thats it. They all share and sync information (kinda like a raid 1 harddisk system). All computers have the same information. Unless all 5 fail, nothing happens (except for the error message that they failed). Jan

  4. But a 200-strong test team can be overwhelming - These guys know what they're doing, and they want happy users with a highly-stable and accurate simulation - Not a tonne of complaints about things not being right! Patience is rewarding, why not just wait a little longer and not have to worry about any problems?

  6. We have some code in place to switch the plane into a flyable state if you use X-Plane´s "position onto final" buttons on the local map. There is another way I use to "set myself up" wherever I want, either at a 10NM final or at 37.000 feet mid-air: Spawn the plane on the runway. Set up flaps the way you like. Use the local map to position the plane, set the desired altitude and airspeed. Click close. Now the plane is where you put it, raise the gear, turn on the autopilot and autothrust and click ALT HOLD. Now you can take over from there... As far as more screenshots and video is concerned: They are coming. We are pondering to release the videos I am making to accompany our written tutorials. There will be at least 6 of them, and I think we will space them to lead up to release. That being said, we won´t really start posting them until we have a "finished product" and what is remaining is documentation and packaging. Our beta testers will also be free to share their impressions before we release, so there should be a flurry of media in the timeframe before release. Cheers, Jan

  8. We have put alot of effort and research into getting the feel and controls of the aircraft right. Pitchrates, rollrates, inertia, beta angles, induced roll, short and long term oscillations etc. are all very close to the real aircraft. Or to put in simpler words, when using our recommended joystick settings you will find that this aircraft is capable of some very precise manual flying like the real aircraft, like manual instrument CAT approaches, crosswind landings etc. Basically it feels and handles VERY close to the real aircraft and we are very proud of it. This is where you now finally really will see how X-Plane shines over the other platforms. So it is our strong advice to stick to our recommended settings!

  10. The Best Testteam is not a 10 Head Team. The Best Testteam is a Team with more above 200 Headteam So relese the 737CL and let yous Test the Plane and your work. and i say you, The Community find more issus if you want ;-) So lets Go Start the Payment of the Plane now
