Not the best way to introduce yourself to this community, VAL. I suggest you work on your people skills.

It never ceases to amaze me how acute some of these comments are....... The statement that you guys are semi-professional really made me laugh, hard! It's almost an admission that this individual would like you to be less personable and more corporate.... Let's reel it back in, this is a niche hobby, which should be fun. My opinion is don't change a thing, not that you would. What got me involved in X-Plane was how approachable the community is..... What I am seeing is just more verbal diarrhea spewing, I bet there is medication for that.....

We tie into the default weather and further improve upon it with Real Weather Connector so things like ATIS, 3rd party weather radar and rain effects work seamlessly across the board....

Hi there, Yes, SkyMaxx Pro does work properly with IXEG.

very nice

No 'fan boy' here, just giving a bit of support to the Devs when ignorant people post their garbage, nothing more, nothing less.

Great how " No offence intended" can be translated as "I know nothing about what I'm talking about but will plough on regardless causing as much offence as possible".

I am the person who came up with this "idea". And I'm pretty sure I will not be getting "sacked" any time soon, but thanks for the suggestion. It's always amazing to find how some people think they know more about how something should be done than the actual developers of the product. There are many reasons for the path we chose. And I'm sure glad you were not part of the process. Despite thinking that you know "everything" there is about aircraft development for X-Plane, you are apparently blissfully unaware of the fact that Austin is still updating the engine model, more specifically the turboprop physics. We, on the other hand, are acutely aware of what is going on and will release our products at the exact right time based on all the factors involved, not just some uninformed customer's opinion. You have no clue what goes on behind the scenes with our development process, so stop posting garbage here as if you do There are some developers who have "rushed" their releases for XP11 just so they can say they did it. That's not how we operate, and nothing you say will change that. Go troll somewhere else.

BIG UPDATE! So I realised that I modelled the fuse off a badly drawn 3-View cad supplied by Boeing on their website (Which I'm almost certain is the same CAD FlightFactor used too)...so the fuselage is redone and retextured (third times the charm ;_; ) and I'm going back to my trusty old -200ER. So here is the brand new fuselage with new PW4000 engines too!!

No offence intended, its seems some devs were behind the eight ball with the release of XP11 and are playing catch up. Whether this is the fault of Laminar or the devs themselves it dosent matter now. This is a whole new era in flight sim and semi professional just does not cut it anymore. What ever you got away with in the past wont help you now and alot of old xplane devs are finding this out the hard way as now your customer base includes alot of P3D users who are used to a certain level of professionalism, which is found lacking with a lot of Xplane devs. Some have stepped up and taken their products to the next level while others are still trying to find the On button to their workstations. One of this sites biggest sellers should have been ready to roll in XP11 as soon as it came out of Beta but you are still trying to fix things for the XP10 version.. Really? and your next release will work in Xp11 but it wont really work.. Double really ? and then you will release V2 maybe in a couple of months. No no no !! Tell me you sacked this person who came up with this idea.

I sort of guessed some might get offended and fan boys would white knight themselves but i bet one thing my post would have definitely put a rocket up some butts and made some rethink about what they perceived as an intelligent idea. As for my people skills yeah maybe im blunt and straight to the point but thats me and i get paid quite well for making people rethink about whats achievable or a good idea,so im not changing anytime soon. You are right i dont know much about the development process of a sim aircraft all i know is about the consumer side of flight sim, actually 25 years of buying, installing and deleting products, so maybe you dont think a consumers point of view (even an arrogant,opinionated like mine) is valid well good on ya mate, you have just failed basic business 101.We all want a quality product at the end of the day and what ever time it takes now Que' sera sera,, so i will go back into my troll cave and fly someone elses products for awhile and let you get back to do what you guys do best. No hard feelings as all is fair in Love,War and Flight Sim Software development. Cheers Val .G

25 years of buying, installing and deleting products? I've had 40 years experience in buying and drinking milk. But I'm not going to go to a dairy farm and start telling the farmers how to milk a cow and sell to the consumer. I'll be honest with you, Val. In the past 8 years that we've been doing this (full time), we've had 2 people tell us we're not running our business properly. You're the second one. I don't mind people being blunt. Point of fact, I prefer it. But only when they have all the facts. You're missing 1 key piece of information in your equation. Our sales figures. However, going by what you think is the best tubeliner in all of flight simming, when put up against the others in your example, I don't think I'll be coming to you for any advice any time soon. Just doing you the same courtesy of being blunt that you extended to us. Have a great day
