I've added a third computer to my pit and some new monitors but I cannot find the cockpit forum, if someone can find it and move this, that would be great. Cockpit now has 3 computers, 1 hack for master, 2 PCs as slaves, the 3rd bolted under the desk. A chair out of an old dodge with a 300 watt subwoofer sealed in the base, a mac mini for XHSI, and an iPad for various view commands. All the buttons and the Saitek Panels are programmed with ControllerMate software, and all planes have they own .xjm file with appropriate dateref for each command, so all buttons, switches and axis are the same across all aircraft. Makes X-Plane hard to walk away from..

That's up to Jan as to when he feels he has something he wants to show. We are indeed moving at a crazy pace though. Things are shaping up very nicely on the FMS....we have lots of functionality crammed in with a good foundation for adding 'power features' as time goes on. We think most will be happy with the usability, readability, reliability and predictability of the system. I just flew my first "gear up to gear down" LNAV/VNAV flight the other day. I just sat back and watched the plane do its thing for 45 minutes. My favorite part is crossing T/D and watching the throttles chop and this bird fly itself thing through a winding arrival procedure right to the threshold. Soon...soon. -tkyler

I was never trying to imply cooperation with McPhat. I just feel work like theirs justifies the price paid. They care. DLC packs like we have seen thus far for XP have very little care, and for that reason alone I very much dislike the tactic. Neither here nor there though. Liveries for the 737 will be free.

maybe 1st Jan , thats next year isn't it?

Actually Jan I'm running xplane on an imac 27 2011 with a quad core i7 16gb of ram and a 6970 1g. I will not say that I have a slow machine but HDR in x-plane 10 is not the best in term of performance. That is why I can't use HDR with native display resolution and investing in a machine just for xplane is not something that I'm willing to do. If I get one landing light out of ixeg 737 I'm happy because I'm more interested in simulation.

Thanks Jan! it makes sense, because at min 06:00 the FO initiates the before start checklist and when he says Hydraulics, the answer of the Captain is 'pushback'

This is getting a bit ahead, but I can answer anyhow: 1. We don't believe in selling liveries. This is, in my opinion, deceptive and unfair to the customer. 2. A paintkit will be provided.

For an average x-plane aircraft one buys and tries out for a month or two? Yes. For probably the most advanced simulated aircraft for x-plane ever, developed during half a decade, modelling virtually every possible instrument and behaviour of the plane and where extreme precision have been taken to visually mimic every aspect of the physical plane? No. High quality modelling of wing flex for an aircraft in the highest rang, as I see it, should be one of the top priorities when it comes to visuals. Just because some simmers may be 100% interested in the instruments does not automatically mean we do not at all need a 3d model. Visuals, as well as physics and instrumentation all sums up and makes a good simulation. As more stuff is cut off from the model, the model itself becomes less equivalent to the real-to-life aircraft. IXEG have already modelled details in the simulation that most probably will not be seen/experienced by 99,95% of simmers. But they do this to make the perfect simulation. Having this in mind, I see no logical argument to - when the time is right and all other coding-critical aspects have been addressed - make an as immerse simulation of wing flex, to add to the already 99,9% complete simulated aircraft.
