Indeed, there is quite a bit you can't see from the videos and screenshots...and also, its not just one or two folks, but 1000s that will trying all differing things, making for 100,000s of possible combinations that might be entered into the FMC. So while we are definitely not striving for perfection, as evidenced by our "whats not in V1.0" list, we do have to ensure that the basics desired are in. To elaborate further, the "desired basics" are those FMS functions that We ourselves as simmers have always said with other products, "I wish the FMS did X....or Y, etc. It turns out the X and Y is a pretty long list of stuff and you take for granted just how many things, as a coder, you have to account for. For example, I'm going to throw Jan under the bus here a bit to illustrate. Jan tells me once, "cruise phase is always in mach". Ok...cool...I made that happen. THEN...a good while later, Jan flies a flight with a cruise altitude under 10,000...where the speed restriction altitude is 250 kias. Jan comes back...."hey Tom...these cruise value should be in KIAS"........"OH...so you mean cruise phase is always in mach, except for condition A.........um....is there a condition B I should know about too? A C perhaps?" Sorry Jan! So things from a coding perspective are not as simple as they may seem on the surface. While maybe 95 out of 100 flights will probably never use cruise altitude below 10,000', some will..and we have to anticipate that before hand and handle it. It turns out there is a whole lot of these situations. The good news is that we believe our V1.0 FMS feature set is complete and we are "testing/calibrating" the performance while we simultaneously clean up textures, loose ends and docs. -tkyler

I think us not in the developing part of the process do not know the full extent of the issues that are keeping them from release. They have real life 737 pilots working on this aircraft. They will know what a realistic simulation is much better than we will. They will release it when they are happy with it, which will make it more likely that the customers will be happy with it. Any debating this is pointless and counterproductive. They have said it will be coming soon, and once we have it we will be able to fly it for many years. A few more weeks isn't long to wait.

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.

hi guys, i have been a member of this forum for about 'no time whatsoever' certainly in comparison to some of you folk out there. i really don't know how you've managed to hang in there for so long. i have flown sims since they first appeared on the sinclair spectrum 48k computer back in the bad old days and have never seen an aircraft as good as this. to ixeg all i would say is why not release now? you are trying to make something imperfect be perfect, do 737s never have issues with FMCs? i would imagine that they do so by releasing this now you are giving us something perfect! well thanks my idea to try and persuade you anyway! also i do not wish to buy this aircraft from you.... i NEED to buy it! please, please hurry, thanks for reading this and keep up the great work

I wouldn´t be surprised at all, but let's hope not as you said.

They keep saying "coming soon". I feel like they are trying to build hype, but whats funny is every post gets filled with comments about the 747. I have a running wager with myself to see if the IXEG or PMDG comes out first. Very exciting time for X-Plane!

I suggest you reread my post to prevent further embarrassment. I was merely posing a hypothetical to show how people will always find ways to complain about a product regardless of what state it ships in.

hello where can I find this lovely airplane it is my favorite

Only twice actually . The first time u told me It was 3am where I live which didn't help. So, yes, part of it is on you for the poor wording. That's it, its done here.

I think that it will be IXEG in 2017 or december
