A freighter version for the -400 has potential because the workload to produce that is "relatively" light. The -500, being a shorter variant would require a much more laborious effort to change both the 3D and the flight model, being geometrically disparate...and the return on investment in that, I believe, probably would not justify the efforts. While I think a freighter variant would appeal to a statistically smaller set of customer use cases, I recognize that there is still a place for it...and so I do want to do a -400 freighter at some point. ..and yes, I'm still working on the 733 every day...my carpel tunnel and "tennis elbow" remind me constantly. I think I can safely say at this point that we'll definitely put out a more informative report this week on whats going on with the development. -tkyler11 points

BN-2 updates are almost complete so those should be coming out soon. No exact ETA though.3 points

I mean I'm already invested in whatever variants of the 737 Classic y'all come out with haha; I think most of the IXEG users will wait however long you'd need to get the 735 made. I've been missing the 734/735 from my fleet since the Wilco 737 PIC days. But I'm just one dude with a affinity for your 733 lol. Thanks for the response!3 points

And I wouldn't be too bold in presuming we would see a regular -400 alongside the freighter if that were to happen in the future? I agree the -500 is sorta not work/reward equal but the -400 would be pretty nice to see2 points

I do Seriously. still going every single day...we'll be making an announcement/report about whats going on here within the next few days. I'm trying to get to a specific point before we give a more formal update and I don't want to rush it....I'm as picky as most of you folks, so I'm steadily laboring away towards that point. -tkyler2 points

All plugins are loaded into a shared memory space. Any plugin can corrupt any other plugin. Occasionally this shows up as a reliable and reproducible clash between two of them.1 point

I am looking at this and hoping it will appear in XP12, however I am actually a little concerned that I may struggle to learn, I understand it's a very intensive and thorough add-on. Just wondering what kind of tutorial/instructions it comes with for someone coming from airlines? As a guidance of my ability I test for Just Flight and have been involved in the likes of the 146 and the Vulcan if that helps to show my level of competence...1 point

No, that version has been removed from production servers and blacklisted in the activation system many moons ago.1 point

Hi Rick, While the roadmap isn't certain, the current priority order is: X-Plane 12 updates for our existing aircraft (SR2X series, BN-2 Islanders, PR) CitationJet 525 TorqueSim Mooney M20R Realistically, the M20 is at soonest many months away.1 point

Thanks for your help, it does indeed seem as if Laminar had enabled it, as i just recieved a message when logging into the sim stating they have removed the auto selection of Zinc. All working fine again. Many thanks1 point

There’s a checkbox on the right hand side of the Graphics settings in X-Plane. It may have been automatically enabled, if so, I can only apologise on Laminar’s behalf as I believe this is a premature decision.1 point

Is there anyone else that visit this page everyday hoping for a good news??? no pressure guys, just very anxious for this one, by far one of the most amazing mod for the Flight Sim community... Thank you for putting so much love on it!!!!1 point

I want to thank everybody for their patience here. We won't make March 8th as mentioned previously, but not for lack of attention to the update process. We do plan to give a more informational update next week though and I still feel we're not terribly far away from a release as work continues regularly. The roadmap for myself (being both IXEG and TOGA) is to get this port update out, then I'll binge the MU2 for 4-ish weeks, getting it refined for V12 and then take a deep breath/short break and dive into the FMS / VNAV functionality of the 733 while also seeking out other areas to improve throughout the remainder of the year. Thx again. -TomK1 point

Hello Captains! We are happy to announce that our Beechcraft C23 Sundowner, soon will be available for X-Plane 12! This is not a simple patch to make Sundowner X-Plane 12 compatible, but a serious upgrade with many improvements, and additions! The version that is already in the store, includes 2 versions of the aircraft, the original version, and upgraded version with Garmin's G5 avionics. The new Sundowner adds 2 more versions, for a total of 4! One with the Garmin G500, and one with Garmin 1000 avionics! Those upgrades are not simple instruments swapping, but go deep into aircraft's systems, like the electrical, which now includes all circuits breakers to be operational! Here is a feature list with all the major items: X-Plane 12 (only) compatible. Support for the full X-Plane 12 run. X-Plane 12 flight model integration, which includes: a. Flight model adjustments for correct aircraft performance. b. X-Plane 12 new weight and balance model. You can adjust the weight of each seat occupant, through X-Plane's UI. c. Yaw trim tab adjustment, for neutral rudder input at cruise. Four aircraft models, with unique panel layout, and operation. a. The original C23 Sundowner. b. C23 Sundowner with G5 Instruments (requires the RealSimGear G5 Instruments from X-Aviation store). c. C23 Sundowner with G500 Avionics Suite (requires the RealSimGear G500 Avionics Suite from X-Aviation store). d. C23 Sundowner with X-Plane's G1000 Avionics Suite. X-Plane 12 windscreen rain effects, and defrost control. Full use of X-Plane 12 lighting system. All circuit breaker are operational. Fully simulated AMR-350 TSO audio panel, for the original, G5, and G500 models. For the G1000 version, extended simulation of the GMA 1347 audio panel. All models simulate the use of headphones. Integration of Libradio, for true to life COM and NAV reception. Credits to @skiselkov. Controls and displays for COM and NAV radios, individualized per model. For the original model, G5, and G500, COM1 and NAV1 are controlled via the GNS430 head unit, and COM2 and NAV2 via the radio stack units. a. The original model has a button between CDI and DME indicators to switch sources between VOR1 and VOR2. Pressing the CDI button on the GNS430, source becomes the GPS. b. In the G5 model, NAV1 drives the G5 HSI, and NAV2 the CDI and DME indicators. c. For the G500 model, all NAV indications are displayed on the G500 PFD. New tablet location. Now stored under the panel, on the right side, and displayed on pilot's yoke. I think it's time for some images! Here you go!1 point

No doubt, many other Sim pilots will appreciate the time you took to go through that detail, as much as I do. Thanks so much.1 point

Hey, whats the deal with Linux support? Is it temporary or support has ceased permanently? I do not own the aircraft but was interested in getting it in the future...1 point

Even if this is an older discussion I would like to support the request for a more appropriate documentation for such a pricy addon. What about a tutorial flight describing in sufficient detail the steps to perform to fly the plane from the delivery in CYUL to another airport not too far away? That would not require a full size "manual" nor technical documentation, just a simple description - if possible with illustrations - of the actions the pilot needs to do to accomplish this first flight. And that should also not infringe any copyright or ask too much time for one of the developers or beta testers to write, I guess. Something in the style of this famous series of Guides (Chuck´s Guides) would even be better :-) Please give the newbies more help to get going Cheers Scorpio471 point

I think a Quick Start guide covering the FBO operations, the various user settings, use of hand signals and perhaps some of the most common issues covered in the pinned topics from this forum etc. should still be considered (even if it only comes in April or later). Regards, Tim1 point

Please elaborate Cameron. I'm not trying to start an argument with you, I'm trying to make a point to you and others, and it seems to be getting misunderstood. What, exactly, do you think I'm not understanding? Allow me to reiterate, what I'm asking for is a manual/user guide like the one that came with the TBM 900.(and most other payware aircraft that I've purchased) Something that would have shown me exactly where the pitch sync button was located, or where the ATS disconnect buttons are located, recommended button/key bindings etc. Thanks in advance.1 point

If it's not literally word for word and organized in the exact same way, it really shouldn't be an issue. But you are absolutely right, and I don't think anyone would disagree with you, that a clean-room rewrite of the voluminous manual would be prohibitively labor intensive. But a condensed/simplified manual wouldn't be. For many, if not most systems, it would be as simple as taking the study window textboxes and diagrams and putting in a PDF with headings and a table of contents. For others, it could be simply writing a simplified description "There are 4 pumps. This is always on normally, these are only on as boosts in auto", or literally copy and pasting explanations given in the forums or on discords into a PDF.1 point

Does anyone read anymore? Twice I've said that I'm not talking about a manual from the manufacturer What I've been asking for is a manual like the one that came with the Hot Start TBM 900, which was written by Hot Start !!! volume and copywrite aren't part of the equation.1 point

I'm talking about a manual written by the developer, like the one that comes with the TBM900. I'm not talking about the actual Bombardier manual.1 point

When the APU encounters a fault, you'll need to hop out of the plane and reset the APU ECU to clear the fault. Go to the tail of the aircraft near the cargo door, pop the latches and pull the little door open under the left engine nacelle: Inside you'll find a panel with 3 buttons. Push the "RESET" button, close it up and you should be good:1 point

I think people are able to read and comprehend quite well. It seems to be you who is not understanding the matter being explained to you here.-1 points

That might fly on a product that isn't essentially more than "if this, then that". But, as stated, the CL650 is essentially a 1:1 replica of a real aircraft, including how the computers communicate and come to the results they do. There are SO many variables at play in a scenario that can occur, that the training in real life is many weeks long to understand the systems. Summarizing 7,000 pages is edgy and even then not an easy task. We are happy the Smartcopilot docs exist, and hope that gets people by (in addition to the Reflected Reality video series and more to come). In the meantime, we are not willing to play with fire from Bombardier, and I hope you can come to respect that decision. Thank you.-1 points

It is a permanent drop. Unfortunately the Linux market just isn't there to be sustainable from even a support perspective. Sorry about that!-1 points
