Works in Chicago O' Hare have been resumed to full speed! Here is the (almost) finished Terminal 5. Enjoy!

I was referring to the IXEG lol, that's the only aircraft worth flying on xplane, haven't flown anything else so far Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk

Correct, this is a problem with XP's radio altimeter, not the callout. Sent a bugreport to Austin some time ago. (RA will show "0" between 0-6' AGL) Makes you flare a bit early (like +6' high) and also will make auto land float a bit. We decided to wait and see if they fixed it for XP11, if not we'll fix it our selves. Problem is, when we do, it will mess up everyones landings since people have been getting used to flaring late, so not sure it's a good idea M

Yeah I know what you mean. I fly the bus IRL so we don't have this problem . My first flares with the ixeg were a bit high by 5ft, I had to get used to it. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Thank you for the answer

Just added two more liveries for the IXEG to the org forums http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36287-ixeg-737-300-jetblue-fictional/ http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36170-ixeg-737-wizz-air-new-livery-fictional/

A good habit to get into is to always keep the heading bug lined up with the direction you are to follow..just incase the LNAV for some reason lets go you can quickly choose HDG and maintain the same direction until you find the trouble that caused it to let go..or mabe a bug raising its ugly head.LOL

It is not, don´t worry. We are just trying to give an insight into why we as developers are a bit surprised about the fascination with and the desire for a perfectly working VNAV. Coming from a real airliner pilot´s perspective it was suprising for me. From an economical point of view (factoring in development time and return of investment) we felt that it was a less critical item than some other things. But I personally have learned a lot about the different needs of simmers and pilots in the course of the release of this plane (wingflex, passenger window view, cough ). I think the fascination our plane holds on many people comes from the fact that it was closely modeled along the experience that a real 737 pilot would have when flying a real 737-300. For those not interested so much in that we will continue to flesh out the experience with adding a more profound VNAV/FMS modeling and secondary 3D/texture work in the future. I am not saying that the real 737 does not have good (I am not saying perfect, mind you) VNAV, and it certainly has a passenger wing view and wingflex. It was just a matter of priorities, but we aspire to go the whole 9 yards, eventually. Jan

It's a lot easier to hold a global database on 2010 technology than 1984.

That is certainly true - we are starting to get CDO arrivals (continous descent operation) here in Germany, too. And while a seasoned pilot can certainly fly the profile in selected modes, it is more economical and safe to do so in a vertically managed mode. Again, we are going to "fix" VNAV - its just going to take some time... Jan

Perhaps you could just shake your monitor up and down to simulate the experience you seem to be after?

some pictures from O'Hare Chicago developing, X-Plane 11. Be ready......

O'Hare Int. AirportAfter hours of work.... the terminal 3 G Gates, is not finished yet, but we are close...... Hope you like it.... FB Page. @icarus.simulations

We made some progress on O'Hare airport! Enjoy

Dear pilots! We made some changes on Hilton building in O'Hare airport. Enjoy!

Dear friends, We like to show you the first preview of O'Hare Hilton! Hope you like it and... enjoy!

Dear pilots, We have reached a point that we are almost finished with all mesh works! We turned O'Hare to a big building site, but I think for a good reason. Our determination to provide you the most "real" environment, drove us to overcome some tough obstacles in our way. For example, KORD sits on to mesh tiles (+41-088 and +42-088) which had gaps (!) by default between them! We fixed that, though it required us to learn to use a different 3D application to do so. The images are a rough preview of some of the edits we have done. Still remains a lot work to do, but at this point we have accomplished a major milestone on the project! Enjoy!
