On my system, they are almost identical in performance, the DA40 being even a few % better (quick comparison made with battery 1/2 and electric master on, respectively, but engine not running).

Are there plans for a -400 or -500 in the near (or far) future?

Doublechecked my manual: Normal alignment (between 70 deg, 12 min north and south) takes "approximately 10 minutes". High latitude alignment (between 70,12 and 78,15) takes at least 17 minutes (we don´t model that).

It does take EXTRA time if you are up in the high latitudes. I have to doublecheck but the regular full align time is 13 min, iirc. Misleading is the fact that the time to align shown on the IRS units starts with 7 minutes...and then stays at 7 minutes for the first 6 or so minutes and only THEN starts to count down. So unless you really start the chronometer to time it, you will never see more than "7 minutes" TTA, which may lead you to believe that it is only 7 minutes total.

Doesn't the align time depend on the distance to the geological north? When I used the 733 or now the 738, the align time was always ~8 minutes in middle europe.

It is on our list - align time is around 13 minutes, I can get the plane ready in 5... if the flightplan is not too long

when u have the ground power set up and ur doing all ur pre flight planning, the align time doesnt matter, by the time ur done with inputting the flight plan and the buttons needed before the apu, it had already been aligned parden my english, as its not my first language

Ok...a little more on the -ish side than the morning side, but here's a peek into the cabin lighting as I tested the functionality.....with the intro showing some cabin door interaction. The video compression is a bit heinous though.

its a fancy way of saying "reprogramming". We use a very old XML data format for our navigation data for the FMS...and we are wanting to move to XPlane's 'V11' navdata format , which is bit more modern with regard to flight plan leg types. So I have to "reprogram" all my code that parses these navdata files. You can expect a new 3D exterior at some point. Its my goal to make the IXEG as 'modern' as can be, similar to the MU2, so that it can be viable for many years to come. It takes a while, but if done right, it also lasts a while. And squeezing in a 'pop-report', I'll be wrapping up the last of the 'port +' visual mods today and focusing on the last few items in our todo list. I have a 10 day break for Oshkosh here beginning in about a week, but right after, we'll start the packaging for deployment process. I'll post a more in-depth video tomorrow morning ~ish (GMT-6) on the visual improvements...till then, here's the rear galley lighting. -tk
