Hi guys, @rkuhlmann is right about communication...guilty as charged for being too quiet. The 733 isn't dead. We will continue to work on it as able, and best I can tell, probably have free updates for as long as I can foresee (whenever those may be). For my MU2 customers who have watched me keep the MU2 relevant through X-Plane versions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 over 19 years, you know what I'm talking about. (even though its been a while since the last update and I'm literally 99% done with the next one but need to get it out There have been things beyond our control that have made update efforts challenging (shit rolling downhill kind of things)...which you guys don't see, nor will I talk about, nor should you care about, but we have to deal with just the same. Not an excuse, an explanation. I acknowledge that communicating is something we could do better and I'm sorry about that. As I've said many times, my committment has always been to keep facing forward and never sit down and that's still the case. So ....open communication time.....where's my time at the moment? I'm working for Laminar again. I am rewriting their documentation set for developers to help train and enable more developers for X-Plane. This initiative began in February at the X-Plane dev conference and I've been in the midst of a heavy 'front loaded' time effort to build the infrastructure for these docs and there's some slight pressure to "show anything at FSExpo". For consumers (rather than devs), this doesn't mean anything.... I know that doesn't make anyone here feel better or fix their concerns now, but is the road I had to take to preserve my ability to work on the IXEG in any capacity into the future. I do foresee time to work on the IXEG again after a few more milestones are reached with Laminar....indeed I'm meeting with some folks at FSExpo to discuss ways for them to assist in the effort. I am committed to maintaining the aircraft, even though I'm not sure exactly when updates will be. We have a plan, we try and stick with it, sometimes we slip, but we have never "forgotten about it". I like to say the IXEG is "perpetually in my inbox". Roadmap is the FMOD sound conversions still....and then the system updates. I am sure I'll have to repeat this later, but the "updates" period will also be quite lengthy because of the aforementioned (shit rolling downhill) situation I have to deal with. Getting through this phase is akin to the large efforts required to bring the IXEG to V12 and was unforseen, but its here on my doorstep just the same. Trudging through it, complaints and all, is the only way to ensure the IXEG survives into the future and those updates eventually come. The IXEG still has a lot of old tech and rebuilding it completely anew is a big task. I'm sorry again about the silence. -tkyler

Hello all not sure anyone will be interested in this be see attached images of the avionics bay of a 605. I work on these in real life & was changing out a nav receiver and snapped some pictures.

Good afternoon, Is there any ETA for the next update? It’s been 9 months since the release, and it seems like the company is dead. This forum seems dead too... no one says anything, no one from the team speaks. Sorry, but this is quite frustrating and a bit infuriating as well. The 733 is full of problems in VNAV, FMC, etc. Some flights are satisfactory and the aircraft does its job perfectly, but in others (and these others are the vast majority) the aircraft simply does what it wants. Most of the time, it’s almost impossible to control the speed of the plane and get it on the ideal glide slope during final approach. Not to mention the aircraft sounds, which are terrible, and it’s almost impossible to adjust the volume of each thing (this is surreal). It’s not possible that in 9 months there hasn’t been anything to release or at least some information from the IXEG team. Practically all the aircraft manufacturers for X-Plane have already released several updates fixing numerous bugs, and IXEG remains with the same aircraft since the day of release. This wouldn’t even be a problem if at least the company gave some sort of explanation to those who bought the aircraft (which is far from being a cheap addon). Best regards and peace.

Trying my own debugging here… updating to the X-Plane 12.06r3 beta does not resolve the issue turning off SVT in /Aircraft/X-Aviation/SR22 Series/TorqueSim SR22 (or TN)/plugins/sr_systems/settings/settings.cfg resolves the issue — CAS messages and the engine sidebar appear normal disabling/removing my only other installed plugin, HeadShake by SimCoders, does not resolve the issue disabling the Gizmo64 tray does not resolve the issue however; if the Gizmo64 tray, preferences window, or any other overlay is displayed — the issue is resolved, but only while the other window is active (see screenshots) Turning off SVT is acceptable — for now — but the synthetic vision G1000 is one of the primary reasons I bought this airplane. Please make sure this is added to the list of bugs/issues with the current v2.0.1 build! I'm open to any other suggestions of things to try…

Funny a real pilot says they are some of the best sounds out there considering the technology. I suspect with FMOD they will only get better

It was $14.95. Let's not get ahead of ourselves on the entitlement here. We priced it low for a good reason. We absolutely could have gone higher, and would have been much better off in doing so, but it would have been morally dishonest. That was a personal decision on our part. Half-baked is exaggerative. We were upfront from the beginning that the initial while was going to be compatibility for running the X-Plane 11 version in 12, with some fun upgrades (like the cabin and new lighting). By the time the store and these two people have their cuts, we're not talking insane money here, @MatthewM. The hours spent getting the product to even work in X-Plane 12 was a huge task. By all accounts, we wanted to be honest and fair, and by my book, it was more than fair.
