RealityXP GNS and GTN have been updated to 2.5.0 (GNS) resp. 2.6.0 (GTN). These new versions support XP12, so one item less to worry about

I'll fly it tomorrow and will make screenshots when it happens. I can't even go out on couple minutes because I have no idea if in the upcoming point A/P will get lost of maybe after 5th point... Will do.

When it's ready. (tm)

I don't think that will be the case. There's a few reasons: 1. We anticipate some big changes for the 12 run 2. It's quite clear in our customer data that 12 is already HIGHLY adopted and favored this early on. It will only continue that direction moving forward. Spending time on previous builds of X-Plane will not be advantageous of the teams time or for majority of our customers. We will continue to offer the current 11 build for install, but to keep two platforms in development is highly unlikely.

We want to take our focus away from turboprops for a little while. We've had meetings and discussed the next project. But for now, the focus for Saso will be on the TBM XP12 update, while I continue with more 650 updates and a few things on the DC3.

I foresee two 'events' with regards to the 733. Event 1 is "port to XP12 'as is'. Event 2 is 'upgrades beyond the port'. The goal of event 1 is to get it to work in XP12 the way it does in XP11 given XPlane changes. Those who have made 733 purchases since early this year will certainly get the XP12 port version for free as stated on the XA product page. Beyond that XP12 port though, we have not made any determinations about what may or may not constitute a 'paid upgrade' beyond the fact that it shouldn't be egregious or outlandish. Regarding features 'beyond the xp12 port'... we have and hear arugments all the time for/against variants, cargo versions, etc and have not made up our minds yet about what may be next. The obvious things todo are the FMS work and upgrading all the 3D/textures/animations. As far as MSFS, a lot of us developers have kept an eye out on the whole market/dev process and a port is not a trivial thing, regardless of what Fenix / inisim is doing. We're talking multiple 1000s of man hours easily, and at my age and road traveled, that's a tall order.....regardless of the money potential. I rather enjoy my little world in X-Plane and those users who also see the same value in it. Perhaps Fenix, iniSim or someone else can do a 737-300. I can't speak for any other devs in the X-Aviation ecosystem, but for our part, we'll probably stick to X-plane with the 733...best I can tell from today. -TomK

And initial testing is promising... IXEG XP12 initial testing.mp4

The XP12 "compatibility" work is underway FYI. First order of business is to get it flying as it does now in XP11, and then to begin improvements. -TomK

False positive. Norton is about as good as junk.
