Did a few more tests without wind and no turbulences. At first I thought they were inconclusive, because I got drops to 6000 with both settings and sometimes both would behave well (~4000-ish). However during one test with a drop I noticed a slight stutter during the nose dive, which, I presume, was the result of either x-plane or an addon performing some loading action due to the view changing (my prime suspect is Skymaxx). Such a leap in the time continuum could easily throw off any PID controller. So I disabled (almost) all plugins and relocated the testing area out to open see. So far I haven't seen any unruly drop in the vertical speed there. Haven't tried with turbulences yet and the number of test has been rather small - running out of fuel However I currently think that drop is due to fluctuations in the physics, either in form of the frame rate (stutter or slow downs) or maybe wind speeds due to turbulences - not sure yet about the latter. Edit: It seems turbulences (set to 1) can cause this as well - although it seemed to be a little less extreme (would barely touch 6000) PS: Didn't know you can ditch planes in X-Plane - good thing the operations manual includes a ditching section. Drag seems a little low though. PPS: Hope the life vests are included with IXEG's model. PPPS: Send boats... or nudes... or both...

If you can provide photos or videos, send me a PM. And by photos, I mean close ups of every corner of the aircraft you can fit a camera or smartphone into.

Airline pilots are pretty much the same...

You should see my laptop screen after I lend it to the kids. Snot and chocolate really messes up your view.

We have stopped giving ETA's since they historically have not been very accurate anyway (Our spare time is unpredictable when you have full time jobs, kids and family) What I can say is that the team is working hard on getting a XP11 version ready as soon as possible. Basically To do; Compatibility fixes (APU, engine, cockpit lights, ground model etc etc reported stuff that you are aware of) Take advantage of the new reflections (as you have seen a couple of examples of here) Updated liveries Complete flight model recalibration due to new atmosphere and engine model Other minor updates/fixes while we are at it. ..and progress is good in all areas

Oh my fucking God, look at those reflections! Great job guys! I
