Straight from the man with the most non-relevant, non-productive posts on the forums. Both sites combined.

This is what I will be flying the IXEG 733 in when it is released. Had a blast today and tonight on PilotEdge with my kids in my little 737-200 Sim. The approach into Vegas looked pretty darn real if you ask me. I made a comment jokingly on final that the controller dumped me into the approach to high hence the sink rate sink rate on approach LOL Thanks for another great day of flying on PilotEdge with my kids. My daughter was my co-pilot and my son recording. Enjoy the video, lots of cool action and radio chatter. Rob https://youtu.be/dJwXRpJ_9lU

10.45rc1 has been released. Download a copy ASAP to fix the throttle issues!

I just wanted to give a high five and some kudos to the team that developed this beautiful plane. While a SAAB turboprop isn't the most sexy plane around, this implementation is beautiful. I love how nearly every switch works. It looks great, sounds great, and includes a lot of great documentation. I hope this sets a new standard of quality expectations for other vendors. Good job, I can't wait for your next release!

A new video from Nils has been posted showing off flap vortices for the 737 Classic! Check it out below!

I think it's fairly apparent now that; A: we don't give release dates. B: It'll only be released when we're satisfied that it's ready, no matter what we say about any release date. So no. No news on release dates and even if there was it would be a completely soft line in the sand subject to change to suit the quality target NOT the other way around. Thanks for asking.

Any news about the release date? Almost february...

Dear pilots, We have reached a point that we are almost finished with all mesh works! We turned O'Hare to a big building site, but I think for a good reason. Our determination to provide you the most "real" environment, drove us to overcome some tough obstacles in our way. For example, KORD sits on to mesh tiles (+41-088 and +42-088) which had gaps (!) by default between them! We fixed that, though it required us to learn to use a different 3D application to do so. The images are a rough preview of some of the edits we have done. Still remains a lot work to do, but at this point we have accomplished a major milestone on the project! Enjoy!

New regional scenery available for the region of Juiz de Fora, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It used world2xplane and is based on the latest OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for Brazil. For the best results, install also the HD Mesh Scenery v3 by alpilotx as the base scenery (lower order in the scenery.ini file). To download and know more about this scenery, go to the following page: Juiz de Fora Regional Scenery One screenshot showing the downtown of Juiz de Fora and the Paraibuna river valley.

I'll send you a PM this evening, I think I can help but I'm not home at the moment!

I like cheese.

The 767 is a marvelous plane! But so is the A330!

Just found this one... pretty nice video!

Boeing 737-236/Adv, reg. G-BGDJ, above Swiss Alps during British Airways' advertisement photo shoot in 1993.

Looks like a good one for the classic North Atlantic route - via Gander to Shannon. So bad weather practicing already included on the route home

In answer to your question, air molecules don't flow straight over a wing linearly from fore to aft. Instead, the air passing under the wing tends to curve outboard, whereas the air flowing over the wing tends to curve inboard. Combined with the fact that the pressure on top of the wing is lower than the pressure under the wing, the air under the wing is going to be sucked up and over the wing at certain points, typically at wing tips. This interaction between the two air flows causes a spiral motion. As the angle of attack of the wing is increased this interaction becomes more pronounced. Extending trailing edge flaps increases the effective angle of attack and some aircraft will experience vortices from their flaps, whereas by design others don't. Aircraft with winglets are less susceptible to wingtip vortices and indeed the purpose of the winglet is to reduce the vortex effect as it causes induced drag which costs fuel. Vortices are more visual on aircraft approaching to land in moist conditions. ie, conditions where the air temperature and dew point temperature are close. The accelerating air within the vortex causes the pressure and therefore temperature to drop to that of the dewpoint temperature and the vortex becomes visible. (You can test the theory of pressure and temperature dropping in accelerated air by clenching your teeth and sucking in quickly-your teeth go cold). I hope this answers your question. For the record, I fly the real thing professionally.

I knew the IXEG thread would be productive as soon as it moved to x-pilot

No one here is trying tu set up a deadline. Just an estimated time, relax ...

Ben posted at the same time as I, and pretty much the same words. Nothing he said was wrong. Let's not get into a debate on who needs to "relax" (though we'd all love to get this out and relax ourselves). Keep in mind you're the one asking the questions, not Ben.
