Ok, you guys are getting to me . This is what I wrote to our testers when we started internal testing of 1.1 in October: Hello testers, we have some new things in 1.1 and a lot of bugfixing. Here is a list of what is new in 1.1: TCAS. Just like in the real airplane, it will show various types of traffic (PROX, TA, RA) and the relative altitude, plus voice callouts and visual aid to avoiding RA traffic. The panel should work as the real one, including TA only, ABV/BLW, STBY, etc. EGPWS. This is enhanced over 1.0.7 - the modes (1-5) should work a lot more closely to how the real modes work, including submodes (i.e. 4A, 4B). There is also a terrain-look-ahead feature that will alert when approaching terrain higher than the aircraft. New panel, new switches, new TERRAIN ON light. Opening cargo doors and 3D holds modeled. Eyebrow windows including selectable sunshade panels (select in preferences menu) Opening cockpit door To be implemented before release: Opening passenger and service doors Now showing current active waypoint distance and ETA on EHSI upper corners in MAP and CTR MAP mode added increase/decrease map range datarefs 1.1 also includes a bunch of fixes: A multitude of fixes to FMS stability and LNAV performance Several texture fixes INOP label for the Logo Lights if winglets fitted Autopilot fixes (autothrust gain, logic of MA buttons, GS arm logic, cleanup of FMA modes in some circumstances, FL CHG pitch behaviour in MACH regime with turbulence, dual AP go-around behaviour above 400 feet, second AP engage possible while LOC only armed) Several rare gizmo crashes fixed for switches and levers Fixes to headings and bearings shown on FIX INFO and LEGS page (now show correct magnetic tracks) Ground power not showing anymore when booting in turnaround state fixes to default transition altitude not always showing correctly (still just a crude east/west division) Added realistic way to operate approach speeds on APPROACH page Added failure flag to altimeter when no elec power improved EFIS symbology when IRS units not aligned Fuel guages now show "lbs" when imperial units are selected LNAV tracking accuracy improved (no more offset flying) Fixes for textures turning "the wrong way" on some knobs In the meantime we have also added some more stuff to make our plane work better with XP11 (note that we are still not claiming compatibility, yet): Fix for some cases of hypoxia blackout in XP11 Fix for "airplane rolling away on sloped ramp in cold and dark" in XP11 There are some things that won´t make 1.1, but are not forgotten! Holds (user entered) RTE DATA on EHSI Solid fuel and time prediction for LEGS and PROG page OFFSET feature VNAV reliability I will add some screenshots later to show some of this stuff... Jan

Hi guys, I don't know if this is approriate, but I just can't resist to showcase here some of the beauty of SkyMaxxPro 4.01. In this video of mine the clouds emerged incredible great! Especially the terrain blending is absolutely fantastic, as well as the ability to recreate small pieces of clouds. I simply manually set a layer of cirrus clouds low here, with medium to hight settings in SMP:

Hi, I use this one as desk top. Can you guess where it is ?

I can understand your frustration and that you would like a faster update. However, some of your claims are simply untrue or grossly exaggerated. This actually takes away some of the power of your argument. The plane was released in late April 2016. The last update to the plane was hotfix 1.07, it was released June 26th of 2016. In my calender that makes it about 6 months without an update - can you explain how you calculated the "almost 1 year now"? I wish we could release the update sooner, but it isn´t possible. Jan

Hi all, a new video!

No, you are not the only one . We will see if we can sneak that in somehow.

No promises - but I hope so!

Thanks for the list. The thing I like the most of you is your availability and communication with your users and customers. You should be an example to other manufacturers. Thank you again Bye

Thanks for the list, It does look good! I am however missing one feature on the list, hence my question: Are we going to get a cabin that lights up with V 1.1? I personally do not need a fully modelled cabin, but I would love to see the cabin finally lit. Its always weird to have a plane flying trough the night without any interior light what so ever... Best regards, Nils

It took a looong time and I burned the engines up, but I made it to FL410.

I bought version 4 last night. I'll be taking a look at xEnviro here soon. Those pictures look great.

The download link expiry is a "feature" of the store software Cameron uses. It is not coupled to the DRM systems. It's just a crude date based system. I'm currently working on a refresh of the activation systems so hopefully we can at least un-log-jam that. The aim is a self managed system somewhat like iTunes movie content.

Hello Jan, VNAV doesn't work if you don't insert STAR in FP. On leg page you will see climb alt to final FL and this FL will be on final Fix. VNAV works fine if flight in USA, where you always know your SID and STAR/transition, but in EU you may have 2-3 or 5 (in Russia) STAR, and it insert after ATC clear you for approach. If you try change STAR in flight you will have 50% chance crash gizmo and "death" of Autopilot, or CTD. Alex

Hiya's, I can imagine one simple scenario, i can think of another but won't post it as if it's as i think it's a great benefit to help protect a product So, Joe Scummy Freebie Bloggs buys a product Too lazy to upload the initial download so two scummy mates can get a copy via an online storage site So a link to the download gets pasted into a conversion box Hey Presto, a few seconds later three have a download within seconds As i've seen on this forum several times, one or more fubars the install and has obviously forgot to keep the download for later usage, slot refill is asked for, gets annoyed after being caught out, spouts off about civil liberties etc etc and pledges to sue etc etc Drops off the face of the earth err forum with tail between the legs Actually thought up another scenario, again, i'll keep that to myself To me, if you've got nothing to hide you have no worries regarding asking for slot activations I didn't really know how much hastle companies in the flight sim world have to go to trying to protect their investment, i do now lol and here's an example My first Catstrator Twitch Stream i think it was, there i was watching a plane being put through its paces, i'm pretty sure it was the IXEG 733, anyways, had a whisper popup, scared the stuffing out of me i was that engrossed in the stream 'Hello, i'm so n so, have you got a link to the download please ?' Ballcocks says i, buy ya own, or polite wording to that effect For me two three or unlimited now means nothing to me, save your first and you're in good stead, if it stops scummers killing off something i like and chuck money at, i say do what the heck you can to stop them and keep working and producing for ones who love the end product and are willing to buy to support development/s, if it takes a step of three slots or a varification every six months so be it Tony

A 400 and 500 would be fantastic to have.

A bit disapointed that there's not much Love for the FMC considering the plane came out nearly a Year ago now. But thanks nevertheles.
