Hi - I think you will see XP11 a bit sooner than 1.1. We fully expect the 737 to "just work" with XP11, but you never know, so we will want to test it briefly against XP11, especially since 1.1 isn´t quite done yet. It is just entering final testing, which we expect to last a few weeks. Cheers, Jan

I'd say it's pretty close to release and much closer than XP11. On a side note, I find it hilarious that, while the ORG disparages Gizmo products because they're not "fully cross-platform" and are therefore "completely uninclusive", Laminar themselves featured two of them in the XP11 presentation.

Another nice feedback we received the other day from a real 737 pilot Guys, I must congratulate you guys on what a fantastic product the IXEG 737 is! I have just started work as a First Officer on 737 classics (mixed 300s and 400s) with xxxxx airline in xxxxx. For the past few months I have been using this product since the day it was released and I can categorically state that this is highly effective as a "study aircraft" in X-Plane and worth every penny! It helped me prepare for and get through my type rating, and I am still using it as a home study platform to help me get through my line training. If there is any way I can contribute to the ongoing development of future versions, please feel welcome to ask any time, I will be delighted to assist. Kind regards, Allan

Seriously, please drop any discussion of Gizmo and the ORG from this thread.... Not what I asked about it that kind of talk will lead to a thread getting closed. Was really only looking for answer from an IXEG team member. :-) And for only positive inputs. Thanks.

Heh the tribalism is real. Here and there.

There will be no 1.0.8 - the next version will be 1.1. And I don´t think it will have the holding function in 1.1 - but we eventually will get it. Jan

Exactly right. And even if the FMS "thinks" that you are somewhere else, both vertically and laterally, this does not affect the airplane at all. You could program in a flight from Beijing to Hanoi and then fly from San Francisco to Seattle and the plane would just fly perfectly (although you would need to disregard all information on the CDU´s and fly VOR-VOR). The FMS is just an "aid" - but not a required device like the FMGC on the Airbus fleet. In fact it is perfectly legal to fly the 737 with the FMS (and even the AP!) totally failed.Sure, some restrictions would apply (RVSM, RNP-1, CAT I only). It may also be an interesting fact that it is not legal to base your fuel estimation on the FMS - it is purely an additional information device. So even if your vertical path is totally haywire, as long as you fly the vertical profile in a selected mode and verify that the magenta line makes sense (no huge extrawide turns due to erroneous radius calculation) you are fine.
