Alot of work has already been implemented for the next release which will contain bugfixes, 3D & systems updates. With XP 10.50, XP 11 coming soon, new OS's etc we also need to coordinate with the Gizmo developers to ensure good release. Work continues

I can understand criley´s concern. A number of vendors (to be honest many major x-plane developers) have made announcements that have been forgotten. Mainly first major updates are neglected. Just think about the Airbus A350 (stupidly missing SIDS/STARS) or the 767 (horrible VNAV), the C172 (horrific frames), some other Airbuses out there. Heaps of unfinished work. Some of today we do not know when the products are to be completed. Certanly, the IXEG 737 has an exceptional position in "the industry" and IXEG communication toward the customer was previously simply great. So the product, even if there is a lot to be done. Compared to other vendors, IXEG was fair and told people whats is gonna be in and what´s left out for updates. A good way to calm down people´s fear and doubt is to communicate what IXEG is currently working on. Some little news and insight would probably help.

Hi John, are you talking about the TMA (Thrust Mode Annunciator)? It announces the maximum currently available thrust (not the FMS flight mode) - so while the plane is not at the same altitude as the MCP ALT (even during descent) it will show CLB. Cheers, Jan

I figured as much that there was still work going on. It was simply a lack of communication as Xplana suggested. There have been way too many developers out there that have created hype and did a great job to market their product, then release it when it was not ready, maybe 75-80% complete. then the market purchase the product having been told that more updates are on their way only to never hear from them again or see only a handful of updates. In the software development world, you never release a product unless it is at least 95% ready. Again as great as this plane is, it was released too early as it is only about 60% complete in my mind and that is being nice. I think it was released early with the thought they needed to get in before PMDG did. Again, no problems with the plane or the price as long as it gets done soon, and not another few months. We paid a premium price for a beta model and have been the guinea pigs for the beta without being compensated. Fine, but communication is important and we need to know what is going on as we are now investors who have fronted the money to make sure this projects gets completed and now have a vested interest.

This might get you going while you figure out what X-Planes problem is:

I dont know when the 1.0.8 update is coming, but i am sure they are going to fix and implement a lot of stuff because they are taking more time than often. Its very important to consider that the IXEG 737 took five years to be released because, as you know, is an study level aircraft. This is why things take a lot more time to make in comparison with other addons. You have to keep in mind this aspect before buying a plane like this in a beta stage my friend I am confident that the developers are trying their best to launch a good update as we are used to.
