We're carefully splitting our time between a few different areas. Saab update, Citation work and the Sundowner upgrade. I've been trying to keep things organized, which is why we've been quiet. Thought I would post a couple of screenshots of the Sundowner progress. Definitely getting there slowly. Still going to dirty up the radios a bit.

You mean x-aviation. ;p

It's not grumpy, it's efficient [emoji6]

Sorry I didn't mean to infer that. Won't ask anymore questions from here on

Work continues.

How's the testing going?

Just for the record, IXEG consists of Tom K, Nils D, Jan V and myself.

Guys, I agree with you. Planning offline would be ideal. There were just a number of requests asking to provide with an ability to use up-to-date navdata from Navigraph or Aerosoft. Besides, such navdata is required for the next iGoDispatch application (not Saab or CRJ) that will take advantage of its SID, STAR and Airways information. Linking the application to the navdata through the plugin appears to be the only viable option at this moment. One thing I may consider doing later is linking to the default XPlane navdata if there is no connection with XP. I can incorporate the default database right into the application (which I am not allowed to do for the Aerosoft or Navigraph datasets). In this case, the user has an option of doing planning offline and using an outdated dataset or online and using an updated one. Thank you all for using the application!

When you fly oversea, and Mr. Kyler:s FMC fails, this should be used instead: http://www.dh-aircraft.co.uk/news/files/fa209f26b0321f2de7499e6f2c846588-101.html (Periscopic Sextant) Hereby I state that I refuse to buy this airplane if above function is not implemented. Mr. Kyler should scrap the FMC and release the airplane with this tool. Those who agree, please vote by agreeing in this thread. The other people who do not understand the magnitude of importance for this, state the reason why you not concede. Mr Kyler, I demand you to release the airplane now without the FMC.

Clayton. I am glad it worked! As I have previously indicated, there will be a major update coming later this year that would require updating both the application and the plugin. I will try to make sure that a proper warning message alerts you if the plugin has not been updated yet. For this one, I had an option to cancel calling the server (plugin) after a certain amount of time, say 30 seconds. I decided not to do it in case some people have slow connection. Cancelling communication after, say, 2 minutes would also defeat its purpose: who would want to wait that long? So, I took a risk of keeping things as they are now. In fact, the transition went smoother than I originally thought. Cheers!

Got winter pack working for me

Sometimes I do enjoy the grumpy voice of some of the IXEG members in this forum.

We are still testing.

Let's not start an endless FAQ about beta testing, please.
