I suppose I should demonstrate some form of life. I'll have to get with Jan on that as our radar (best I recall) had most of the features of the real thing. As far as "coming out soon", here's what I'll say....and this is overdue for sure....and I'm not going to convince anyone to believe me or not on the timing. It will get looked at and updated at some point. As sure as this is my 20th year actively involved in X-Plane work, it will continue to be so. A year and a half ago, things changed for me when Laminar announced its new store initiative in Montreal. I took a job with Laminar to completely rewrite its developer documentation. This was a "look to the future" for both myself and X-Plane, at the cost of 'now'. Laminar are looking to embrace a future generation of developers and we need to have better learning materials to engage this generation to develop for X-Plane, so I'm that guy....thats for Laminar. For myself, I needed more stability and a cushion, as the add-on market for X-Plane is still too thin to have any kind of long term security. Taking on this work with Laminar has allowed me to close out all other obligations and stay in the X-Plane ecosystem for the foreseeable future. The 'problem' for my customers and X-Aviation thus far, is that the initial phase or work to revamp and deploy the documentation was/is huge. New developer web site, new manual formats, a new, interactive PlaneMaker manual, lots and lots of rewriting, new illustrations...etc....and that has taken a good while to develop and received all my focus to get to what we call the "initial deployment" of the docs out the door. That initial deploy is not terribly far off. After the initial deployment, I will settle into a more regular time schedule that will afford me the time to get back to my own work. It has been my effort over the last year to try and achieve a point where I can only work on X-Plane endeavors between now and my retirment......and there have been personal hurdles along the way that are neither anyone's concern or business, but real to me just the same. It is my intention to crack open the MU2 and 737 again in early October, to resume work on my 'X-Aviation' things. I have discussed this with X-Aviation also. Between now and then I am focused on getting an initial deployment of the new docs out the door for Laminar. We will look at the IXEG radar early on for sure. I want to remain developing for X-Plane fully and it is my firm belief that this path i've taken was the required path to do so, and I apologize for the silence and delays. -tkyler

Really? If any feature warranted deploying an update, this would be it.

Sorry I didn't see this thread until now, but when the TDS was first released for XP I made this plugin that tricks the MU-2 into thinking RXP is present and loads the TDS. Fake RXP.zip

Guys, you are quite critical and in my opinion, IXEG 737 deserves attention and respect. Yes, there have been no updates for quite some time, but the developer wrote the reason. The second point, they are working on the update, in particular, improving the work of the FMS, radar in accordance with the latest updates of Xplane 12, as well as other fixes. I am a scenery developer in the past for Prepar3D, now MSFS and I understand the reasons for the delay, especially not so long ago, the development team gave a full answer to their plans and the reasons for the delay. Each of the developers has their own life, problems, for example, I live in a country that has been under military attack and has been at war for the fourth year. If you don't want to spend your money on something, don't spend it, no one is forcing you to do it.

Oh wooow, this was time-limited?! This is really annoying.. They will not get 85 bucks from me for the XP12-Update.. RIP IXEG for me..

This isn't an XPilot forum but some people use 123.45 as a shared air-to-air frequency.

Hi Pils and thank you for your answer, I selected the wrong item on the button assignment. I choosed "toogle autothottle system" instead of the "TO-GA". Now, when I do my checklist, N1-TO appears on the ATS screen on the glare shield.

The FMS and VNAV are superb. One thing I noticed (and I do this in the real plane), if one flies an ILS or RNAV with intent to circle, I like to build the visual approach to the intended runway of landing in a secondary flight plan. I switch to HDG/ ALT to begin the circle, then activate the SEC flight plan (visual), go Direct to the RX fix, then select Nav/VNAV, dial the Alt selector to zero, (adjust with VVS is above vertical profile) then the jet flies a picture perfect visual approach (one can assign speeds to the visual fixes also to let ARS handle that). In Version 1.8, it will do this, BUT when activating it in this manner, VNAV does not work. The workaround is to build the Visual in the Active flight plan but don’t activate it until committed to circle- in this scenario it’s all there, VNAV and all. The benefit of doing it the first way is that the original approach then becomes Secondary and can be activated promptly in the event of needing the published Miss. On the request front, can we start with the Altimeter in Baro? I'm happy to answer real world CL650 questions or to beta test new versions. I have three copies on three machines- 2 Windows PCs and a M4 MacBook Pro. I fly S/N 5911- technically a 60( but with the PL21 Advanced, HUD and triple IRS/FMS.

Ok, disregard, cannot reproduce this behaviour. I will watch it over the next flights

Never mind, the retailer will provide a software update that hopefully will fix the issue.

Thank you for your response. Indeed setting sound output to different device solved the problem. I was using USB sound card when I got the crashes. When I set sound output to my PC built in soundcard or to my monitor's speakers via HDMI then I get no crash at all. Sim runs very well. Nevertheless FMOD implementation would be a welcome change. Looking forward to that. Thank you for the help.

Is there any hope left that we will see the pocket rocket in xp12 ? Iirc you advised after the 525 is done. if u decide to charge something it’s also fine

Increasing the number of passengers ultimately does nothing more than raise the aircraft's weight. This can just as well be achieved by adjusting the payload respectively.

Tkyler, Appreciate the update on your activities with Laminar. That is good news for everyone using XP. Look forward to your future work with the B737! Thanks! Rich Boll

So then, what about the stuff here: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-3-0-release-notes/ Does this have something you can work with for the CL650?

Thanks for the detailed reports, I've got these filed!

The last update was a year ago: The next update is well into development and hopefully will be out in beta before end of the year.

Awesome news, good job, thanks, Ramon!

Hi @Litjan, @Cameron, Thanks for your help. With your assistance I've managed to fix the problem. It seemed like the Avitab-Browser plugin was wedged in between the Avitab and the text drawing. Here's an illustration on what happened. I'm simply drawing a full red screen (see attachment). The AviTab background is hidden (red is on top), but their text is drawn on top of the red square. I have managed to mitigate the problem though by cleverly managing some AviTab datarefs. See the second attachment. Thanks again for your help.

Yes - we're looking into adding it!

We're currently focused on updates for the TBM and CL650, which are our top priorities at the moment. As for the A220, it's in the early stages and hasn't been our main focus lately. While we're excited about its potential, it might be a while before we can dive deeper into its development, and a release is not likely for around 18 months or so. We truly appreciate your interest and patience. Thank you for understanding.
