Not yet. You can easily make the necessary change in the .acf file yourself, it is not encrypted or anything. Just open it in planemaker, go to "Standard" then "Author" then click the checkbox for "Always Use Experimental Flight Model" - save and exit. Cheers, Jan

as far as "what to look forward to", my response is "what are we still inspired to do"...and subsequently...will want to try to get to. The answer to that is a lot actually. Certainly the VNAV/FMC is highest on our plate. After that, the 3D cabin/doors wrap up, etc. After that, wing-flex.....after that, 400/500 variants, etc. Those of us who are a bit older knows how fast life moves and things can get in the way. For years, I've been working towards the goal of Xplane being the only thing I have to do to get by and I can honestly say that as of last month, that has finally happened. (Thank you low interest rates, appreciation, cough *refi). It is my sincere desire to only work on xplane and in addition, limit my work to only about 3-4 aircraft max for the remainder of my life, such that they could be properly maintained. Being an engineer, my work tends to be "by project" and after every project, I'm effectively unemployed. Its the nature of my job that every project has a dedicated timeline, duration and end...and once a project begins, the timelines are such that it demands all my time until my role is completed. My work on the IXEG has always been between projects and in the evenings/weekends. With independence from having to take projects to survive, it opens up new windows for us to commit to the IXEG. I do have to wrap up some contract work with Laminar for XP12 stuffs, so another month or two and I'll be going full time on my xplane projects only. tkyler
