I absolutely understand the anticipation you must be feeling as you wait for this release! It's a thrilling time for all of us, and I can assure you that our team is diligently working away to bring it to you. We're following the latest update from Tom just last week, so everything is still on track. Please keep an eye on our announcements, and we'll make sure to keep you informed as soon as there's news to share. Your patience and excitement mean a lot to us, and we're eager to deliver something fantastic for you!

I completely understand your frustration with the lack of weather radar functionality in the Challenger 650, especially considering the significance of weather navigation in real-world flying. However, I must clarify a misconception regarding the situation. The absence of weather radar is not due to any negligence or unwillingness on our part. Rather, it is a technical limitation tied to the way X-Plane interprets and represents weather within the simulator. While Laminar Research has indeed made commendable improvements to weather depiction in X-Plane 12, they have not yet provided a way for plugins or aircraft to accurately identify the specific cloud patterns, storm cells, or their exact locations within the simulated environment. This is more than a minor obstacle; it renders what you're asking for technically unfeasible at this time. Even if we were to access real weather data, it would not correlate with Laminar's approximated in-sim depiction, leading to potentially inaccurate and misleading information. Please know that we share your eagerness for this feature, and our hands are literally tied until Laminar extends the necessary support in their API. We remain committed to enhancing our products and are hopeful for future developments that may allow us to provide the weather radar functionality you desire. I hope this sheds light on the complexity of the situation, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Forward slipping a transport category aircraft is not advised as an appropriate method for altitude loss. Non transport category aircraft may be able to do it, but, the emphasis in the transport category operational environment is on consistent and stabilized approach procedures that do not necessitate forward slips. If you find yourself in a position where a forward slip is necessary, that is considered an unstable approach and would mandate a go around.

Hello, I really like your plane, but now in winter I fly partially blind. De-icing on the wings works very well, but even with the windshield heater fully turned up I have no chance to remove the ice. A second little thing: Even without oxygen the pilot keeps the oxygen hose, for the co-pilot the change works. The error only affects the SR22, with the SR22TN the error does not occur. Many greetings, Sandra
