It's not dead at all!. Before I say this, a bit of disclosure. I AM NOT involved with IXEG, and I will not discuss or mention details/plans I will let official channels do so. I met Tom at FSExpo this past year in PVD and had a good hour long discussion with him about (mostly) the 737 we all love. NO IT'S NOT DEAD. He discussed details with me that if he wishes to share one day he can, but it's not my story to tell. But it's a VERY interesting story at that!. You folks would not believe the dark side of developing that happens. Like many of you, I too have been frustrated with the 737, but after talking to Tom at Expo, I can say I heard it from the horses mouth, THE 737 IS STILL BEING WORKED ON!!! Again I won't discuss what Tom discussed with me about what's being worked on. ALso @tkyler I would like to thank you again for you time at expo, was an absolute pleasure meeting and talking!

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.

@rkuhlmann You also weren't part of the discussion I had with Tom. Again, I can't say what was discussed, but my jaw dropped. Have faith my friend

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.

YES! I FINALLY found the fix in the net after HOURS of search. Now I can normally exit the game and go to the settings menu WITHOUT to kill the process... Here is the solution written:https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/topic/325851-xp-1213-4-on-linux-freeze-not-ctd-on-exit/#comment-2864294 and here https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/topic/326955-x-plane-12-hangs-on-exit-linux/ I only needed to run sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/pulseaudio I am still learning linux but I think its an symbol link creation... Linux wizardry that I want to learn and thats an very good thread to start learning some things hehe Thanky to you all for trying to help me. Have an nice flight :-) EDIT: So naturally I can now access the CL650 settings :-)

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…

I lost my faith in this XP12 project ...

The gross weight can be entered on the approach page to check "in advance" what kind of approach speeds you would expect (like when you do the approach in one hour or so) - accounting for burnt fuel until you actually will fly the approach. This is rarely used, but the way it works in reality. Normally you are not supposed to EVER enter the gross weight or zero-fuel-weight after the initial setup. The fuel totalizer will add the current weight of the fuel to the zero-fuel weight (as entered by the pilot) and thus your gross weight will always show the correct, current value.

Hi all Some way to eliminate the reflections on the windscreen, they are very exaggerated and often you can't see out..... Thank you

We'll be rolling out the fix with the next update. X-Plane 12.2 changed this behavior dramatically.

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.

I've been a loyal fan of EVGA for many, many years. I have their 1000W supply. And most of their other products. Broke my heart when they got into some tiff with nVidia and stopped making gpu's the 3090 being the last one. I bought the nvidia 4090fe mostly due to size constraints. I an 83 years old, retired 34 years ago, purchased and moved onto a motor yacht, presently in St Maarten, Dutch West Indies in the Caribbean. As you must imagine, other than expenses associated with this boat, I have little to spend money on which enables the ability to buy whatever hardware I need to fly X-Plane since I miss having owned my own aircraft , a Mooney which I purchased new in 1967 and have more than 10,000 hours of pilot in command time in that aircraft and many others. Kind of a special case. I have all but begged Coop to complete and release the updated Mooney's, please before I die.

Hi all, with the upgrade transition finished, I thought I'd report on whats planned to help set expectations for the future and into 2024. A high priority is weening off of technologies that may cause "show-stoppers" for customers or in danger of causing conflicts as XPlane and computers evolve. This means the transition to the FMOD sound engine is first up...as we've seen some issues for customers and is a sign that things aren't going to get better. This is a pretty good sized job as we have quite a few sounds we have to port and we also have a LOT of code we have to excise without breaking other things. A port to FMOD easily sets the stage for many more years of compatibility. We don't work completely linearly...so in interstitial gaps in time between FMOD work, we'll also begin integrating in the XP11 Navdata format. Users won't see this for some time as its a big under the hood change. This is necessary not only to improve the IXEG FMS, but is also necessary for two future products with FMSs and as with FMOD...ensures forward compatibility...so this move to the XP default is also quite important. Third, we'll also begin work on the FMS VNAV / holds / performance predicitions. This work depends on the XP11 navadata to some degree, but not competely so we'll be able to make strides in this department while working on the XP11 navdata format transition also. Also, we're refactoring (rewriting) an enormouse amount of code for future-proofing and developing a new graphics library along the lines of what the RSG and TorqueSim folks are using. This will open the door to more engaging graphics for GUIs and value-added interfaces such as failures and EFBs etc. and Finally, we'll work on a new, high-resolution exterior model with new paint kit. We expect this work to take most of 2024....but it very much has applicability in the other projects we're doing so the end of the road isn't just some "under the hood" stuff on the IXEG, but also new models. Thank you for your support, we'll continue to keep working. -Tom Kyler

Half-baked update? I flew this 737 today and even with all the X-Plane 12 updates since the IXEG's last update, it still flies nicely. Maybe a few quirks, but certainly not "half-baked". It followed my flight plan perfectly, LNAV, VNAV, Auto Throttle and Autopilot all worked as they were supposed to, landed nicely (although a little firm), but in all was a good flight and good experience.

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.
