Hello! I built a 737 classic cockpit and connected all my devices to IXEG 737 Classic Plus model, successfully connected absolutely everything, all inputs and outputs, except... Except the IRS display on the afteroverhead. I can't find any dataref that matches the image on the screen in any of the modes. I would appreciate any form of dataref, be it just a string variable or an array of integers where each number represents its own segment on the screen. Please help. I have a completely working cockpit, except for one small but very important detail that separates me from full immersion in flight, and aircraft model accordingly from being completely finished for cockpit builders.

Hi, @Cameron I’d like to clarify something. At no point was I disrespectful in my wording. Using terms like “abandoned” or “disregard” was not meant as a personal attack, but rather as an honest reflection of how the situation looks and feels from a paying customer’s perspective. I believe constructive discussion includes not only praise, but also criticism...sometimes strong criticis, especially when issues remain unresolved for years. Expecting customers to tone down their language to a point where frustration cannot even be expressed seems unreasonable. I respect the work behind the scenes, but I also ask for the same respect in allowing honest, even if firm, feedback.

That’s all very nice to hear, but as paying customers, we’ve been listening to “behind the scenes stories” for years while the aircraft remains broken, outdated, and without proper updates. Promises, secret details, or “trust me, it’s being worked on” don’t change the reality: the IXEG 733 has been in the same state since its rushed XP12 release, leaving customers with a paid product that feels abandoned. Transparency and real communication through official channels would speak louder than any private conversation.

Over a year since my post in June 2024, and almost two years since the IXEG 733 was released for X-Plane 12 in September 2023, and it’s exactly the same — abandoned, broken, ignored, and showing complete disregard for its customers. Truly impressive…

There were not promises made about a weather radar in X-Plane 11. I'm not sure where you came up with that idea. There has been talk about creating one with Laminar's advancements of their weather engine in X-Plane 12. The market has largely left X-Plane 11. There are very few customers on that platform, as majority have adopted X-Plane 12. Laminar does not supply a reliable way to read weather data for a radar yet, and they certainly won't be adding it to X-Plane 11. For the same reasons they won't go back in time, nor will we. You will need to update your simulator to X-Plane 12 if you wish to have a reliably accurate weather radar.

No, you will not be able to do this on your own. To be clear, you should also not expect a weather radar to be available in X-Plane 11. This is going to be a feature for X-Plane 12 once available.

Let me understand: the cl650 was released for XP11 initially without the weather radar. So XP11 users have been waiting for this for years. Now, you say that you won't have weather radar for XP11. Sincerely? Lack of respect and consideration for all initial buyers. Hot Start's regrettable attitude. I will not buy any more products from you, as I do not agree with the company's disrespect towards its consumers.

XP11 aircrafts with weather radar: A319/320/321 Toliss, B738 Zibo, E195 X-Crafts, C208 Thranda, SR22 Torquesim, etc. I don't believe it depends only on Laminar for Hot Start to put a WX on the CL650, if all other developers have put it on their products. There is no logic in this. But, if you have no interest in delivering a complete product, I believe it is a lost cause.
