The MU2 is "waiting in the wings" at the moment, while I work on the IXEG V12 process. The MU2 works tolerably well enough in XP12, whereas the IXEG does not work enough in 12 to even fly it....so I need to get those customers taken care of and I'm working towards that atm. As soon as the 733 goes out the door (more than a week, less than a month), I'll go back to the MU2 and make another series of passes to leverage the V12 features and start improving the performance model. It won't get left out in the cold. -tkyler

certainly possible and certainly on my todo list to see about getting all that in. Not too much longer and I'll be back binging the MU2 for a bit. -tkyler

Thank you for the welcome, and a lot to learn ( sim setup and add on's etc ) for me here.. I did order a decent yoke, and throttle setup , so hopefully that will make the adjustment a little better. Currently uploading some raw video for TomK to use his big brain on and translate into more realistic performance of the MU2 I don't think it will ever be possible to simulate the yaw aspect of the real plane, meaning - it is a VERY trim sensitive plane, and when you are flying by hand, there is a lot of re-trimming based on airspeed and pitch.. either side of 150 knts, the Marquise acts very differently - not sure you can model that, but it is almost like a boat coming and going off plain.. if that makes any sense.. Same with cross winds, if you keep the wing low into the wind, it is sane.. if you get that wing high, it will turn you and make a mess of your approach, etc.. Anyway, looking forward to give some feedback when I can. It is a pleasure to meet you guys. Tom here is that startup sound I think you were going for.. 4-Blade Hartzell - https://photos.app.goo.gl/ngMWtTE4cZWGUvyB9 5-Blade MT - https://photos.app.goo.gl/k6GCpqUMDi2r5fDi6 David

Hello All, This will serve as an official announcement that we have released update version 1.7 for the CL650. All customers who have purchased the CL650 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the CL650 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.7 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php  2. Find your original Challenger 650 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: === Release highlights & New features === Implemented two-pilot shared cockpit Please review the included CL650 Shared Cockpit Quick Start Guide PDF Added support for X-Plane 12 for all platforms VHF COM frequency formats shouldn't allow omitting leading '1' digit You will now need to enter the leading '1' digit in radio frequency entries on the TUNE page. Leaving out the decimal point is still allowed though. DES ADVISORY If the flight plan doesn't contain any suitable descent constraints from which the FMS could anchor a descent, it will no longer give you a "TOD" point. It will instead give you a green "DES" circle on the flight plan, with a green "DES ADVISORY" in the MFD VNAV window. This is just the FMS taking a rough stab at guessing approximately where you should start your descent, so that you end up 1,500 ft AGL at 10nm from the destination airport. It will not: give you a vertical deviation from this path, capture VPATH give you a TOD indication, or aural vertical track alert This is it basically taking a guess, in absence of more accurate data Remove custom atmospheric model on XP12 On X-Plane 12, the custom CL650 atmospheric model has been removed, since X-Plane 12 now implements temperature effects on altimetry natively. Consequently, there is no option to disable temperature effects in X-Plane 12 when flying online anymore. These effects are always on. Be sure to use the latest xPilot betas when flying XP12 on Vatsim to make sure your altimeter is being reported correctly. MIC selector should enable audio even if monitoring pushbutton is deselected Even when you didn't push in the volume control knob on a radio, if your MIC selector is set to that radio, you will still hear the audio. HUD shouldn’t show selected speed in FLC or FPM in VS The HUD FMAs will no longer show the speed target for FLC or the FPM target for VS. The real HUD doesn't show them, so we removed them. Don't show ACT FPLN on EFIS when CDU is on SEC FPLN pages When SEC FPLN, SEC LEGS or any secondary flight plan-related path is displayed on the CDU, the on-side PFD & MFD will show the secondary flight plan on their map displays only. === 3D model fixes & improvements === 3D & texturing: Fixed texture issues on all liveries present with the updated mesh for the ADG door. Made some adjustments to other areas with substance painters new and extra bake maps Fixed gear bay texture issues Nose Gear Bay - Fixed incorrectly mapped object and fixed textures Fixed visible window shade behind wall light mounts Fixed incorrect mapping on DC Power door. Fixed one antenna not joining onto fuselage. Added indicator line to HUD knob. Added bumps to EVS knob. Fixes to LIT texture. Added missing “LIGHTING” text to lower lighting panels Glareshield: Moved object centre to 0, 0, 0 to fix mirrored object that was nudged to the left Cockpit Object: Plugged hole in main entry door manipulator Cockpit Interior: Closed gap behind circuit breakers on left side Shuttle: Low poly version and textures Fixed excessive shine on decals Fixed glareshield artifacts in textures. Increased width of windshield centre pillar. Fixed ATS DISC button parenting problem on left thrust lever New sun visors, textures and new visor animations. Exterior Fuelling Panel - Fixed LITs and test button manipulator. Wing Textures - Fixed ambient occlusion issues under wings Wing Textures - Fixed ambient occlusion issue on fore flaps Fixed weird ambient occlusion on 4 of the flap tracks. === Bugfixes === 3137:

tuning mode 3650: DES ADVISORY doesn't change to TOD when the final leg of a flight plan is not a MAP but has a hard constraint suitable for VPATH 3651: VNAV direct-to doesn't correctly assign a DES constraint class if the target leg doesn't have a constraint class already 3652: FCC should allow VPATH capture in any lateral mode not just NAV 3653: LPV GP shouldn't be being blended into baro VPATH if we're coming in on a mode other than VPATH 3654: VHF COM frequency formats shouldn't allow omitting leading '1' digit 3658: Description code 2 "B" wasn't being checked everywhere for fly-over conditions 3659: Added new anti-icing procedures on descent to the operations reference manual 3661: Allow up to 45 degree angle-of-divergence on hold entries to better fit within the allotted hold size 3662: Zero-length hold leg crashes when attempting to fly the outbound leg 3664: Add "CLEARED TO" variant of ACARS PDCs from Hoppie 3669: Flaps underdriven to slight negative angles causes relative AoA computation to use max flaps setting notch, not min 3675: Increase assumed VOR angular standard deviation in position sensor fusion to 1.4 deg to match RTCA DO-180A section 1.4.1.1 3676: Reduce DME FOM to 0.1NM and maximum distances to 140NM to comply with RTCA DO-236C appendix C-3 3681: Do not auto-connect procedures even with matching waypoints if they have non-matching constraints 3679: Do not round speed constraint entries to the nearest 5 knots 3683: Do not perform turn anticipation onto CF legs with course reversal to avoid invalid early sequencing 3684: Clamp turn midpoint angle determination to a maximum of 160 degrees to avoid incorrect triggering on course reversals 3687: Retune autopilot flap deployment pitch preload to better match attitude changes in Ops reference 3688: Update CL650 Operations Reference manual to latest state 3690: Release ADG uplock even when handle is pulled only 3/4 of the way 3694: ATS engage lamps appear blown out when tested at night even when set to DIM 3678: Editing altitude constraints on final approach legs should be allowed 3702: Holds need to use a manually entered leg constraint as the speed target for sizing if one is present 3703: FCC should give the active vertical mode a brief grace period of 0.25s to regain valid input data before dropping the mode 3704: Disarm APR mode when a thrust mode other than TO or FLX is selected 3709: Coded turn completion needs a wider angle to allow for steep intercept of the turn target leg 3706: ISI spill light isn't being updated when the ISI is off 3715: Changing NAV freq via CCP flip-flop doesn't erase the CDU tune-by-ID Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Actually, yes.. lol I started the Youtube channel to educate potential buyers of the plane to be honest.. So far, it is easier for me to fly.. I think I need VR to make this work for me, never realized how much I look around.. Baby pictures below. My cockpit is very similar to the one modeled. Do you think there will be a 750Txi version in this sim?

Thanks guys for your feedback. I've started doing minor adjustments (i.e. removal of extra unnecessary calls and text modifications). So far it works, maybe I can start thinking to design a simple application to give a GUI to this xml file. A proposal: it will be nice if the checklist could be "per operator", so that any virtual airline can have its own sets of calls as per SOP. Maybe having a separate file in each livery with fallback to the default one in case of missing checklist?
