Saab v1.5.2 will have all new manipulators, new engine modeling, and some other updates/fixes. It is being worked on as we speak and will be released "VERY SOON"®. Saab v2.0 will be a complete overhaul and is planned for the "NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE"®.

Greetings Jan, Tom, and IXEG Team, I think I speak for everyone here who has purchased and loves to fly the IXEG 733 Classic. I am aware that developers hate being asked about updates and release dates, we understand that. However, it seems that there is maybe something to clarify for us, your paying customers. In a recent Threshold article(https://www.thresholdx.net/news/ixegup), it is mentioned that an update is being worked on(even showed new screenshot of cabin) to "potentially be pushed" following a stable 11.30 release. We learn that Tom has been very busy with his work at NASA, which has sidelined progress for IXEG. We know that there are priorities in life and work is work. So to be clear and prevent any more confusion and annoying questions being asked of progress, please tell us.... Work on "11.30" update has started or no?? Should we expect some news "soon"? Or should we be expected to wait patiently for another 6 months to a year before given the light of day? Please just let us know. If no update is coming in the near future at least tell us, so we can lower our expectations and leave you alone. Respectfully, John Gaasbeek

Hi Jan, First of all, don't worry, I am flying for ASLB, a cargo company. I don't have any problem flying a holding with hdg sel, we use to train raw data or FMC or IRS failure during sim sessions (funnyby the way). But I said and some other people said, flying alone with this 737 can be painfull without the possibility of flying a holding, mainly if we simulate a failure. As far as I know, xieg 737 is the only product of this type that does not include holding. Vincent

Hi Guys, I ran into a similar problem yesterday in my work for Laminar. A user reported that the de-ice gauge in the default Baron was not working. Philipp (from Laminar) reworked the ice systems for 11.30. I spoke to him yesterday and here is the story... In the past the "boot" dataref was aliased to the wing_heat command. X-Plane didn't really model boot de-icing at all. That has all changed in 11.30. We now have true boot de-icing as a separate system. This will require updates to aircraft that relied on the the old wing_heat command to trigger the boots. We will incorporate a fix for this in the 1.5.2 update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
