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

Hi @imemyself it has been a while for sure and a valid question and I have no real excuse. The last year has very much been a "foundational stabilization" year. I'm getting close enough to retirement to start eyeballing these next 6 years and how to best navigate them after the Covid ripples upended several things in my life. A year ago this time I had an opportunity with Laminar once again and I took it....the previous years since Covid were a bit rocky and I had some catching up to do, which I have mostly done over the last 12 months. I've spent sporadic moments in the year working on the 737 FMOD conversion and we're in final sound testing on that. The MU2 has taken a back seat during this time. I have recently integrated X-Plane's new weather radar and most of the known issues are fixed, which you guys won't see till 12.4 or 12.5 perhaps, so I have been chipping on it. An update absolutely will be available and it is still maintained and will be for years to come I suspect. I took the gig with Laminar to "stay in the X-Plane ecosphere" and some important personal things have transpired this year that should clear the way for more XP work. I know that's pretty hollow talk considering the last year, but I'll just wrap up by saying there are no plans for me to abandon the MU2 and I get reminded about it frequently...so the pressure is on and felt.

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

I’m a bit confused by your post, as the timeline doesn’t quite align. At the time of your purchase, there was no talk of an upgrade for a version of the simulator that didn’t yet exist, as we developers were not aware of X-Plane 12 at that point either. You purchased it two years before we ever mentioned a free upgrade to new purchasers. It is not possible for you to have "bought this aircraft because it included an upgrade to XP12." We'll post news when we're ready. I believe we're getting to a point of sooner than later.

Well, after strugling a lot with differente solutions, i decided to do myself an excel sheet to make the job. I'm not a native speaker, so i did it like i could. Do your best to use it. W&B CL650.xlsx

Hi at all. I have read that TDS is starting the beta of this product (differently from the RXP, it's possible to update AIRAC with Navigraph), and its will be release soon. I hope in an update of the MU-2 with this integration

If you hear nothing from us, assume that the project is not abandoned but no work has been done on it that would warrant us sharing any progress info. If we abandon the project, we will announce this here - so if we don´t - you know it´s not abandoned.

You can create these using: Along-track offset distance - IDENT/(+-)DIST[/NAME] - offset plus or minus DIST from IDENT which is currently in the flight plan Place Bearing Distance - IDENTBRG/DIST[/NAME] - point defined by a distance along a radial from a place Place Bearing / Place Bearing - IDENTBRG/IDENTBRG[/NAME] - point defined by the intersection of two radials from two places LAT/LON coordinates. This can be done with Degrees Decimal Minutes, or shorthand as per the usual shorthand rules. There is some way you can do it using the joystick on the CCP and selecting the point on the MFD map, but I'm not entirely sure how you go about doing that. The Places in question do not have to be VORs, they can be any arbitrary point, including previously defined custom waypoints - I've created downwind, base, and final legs for visual approaches with VNAV planning using this feature. For your example specifically I'd use place bearing/distance. As far as I remember, just enter this in the scratchpad: IDENTBRG/DIST[/NAME] So in your example, if the VOR was ATY, you'd enter "ATY225/50" which would give you a waypoint 50nm southwest of ATY. If you added an extra trailing slash you could input a name for that waypoint as well. Then, once that's in the scratchpad, press the LSK next to where you want to insert it, and then add your altitude restriction on the right side as normal!

Yes - we're looking into adding it!

Captains, We hope you are as excited about the Take Command! TorqueSim CitationJet 525 as we are! We are in the home stretch of finishing up the final features and testing, and are aiming to get this product released very soon. Let’s take some time and dig into the unique and detailed avionics featured in this aircraft. The key centerpiece of the aircraft is the Honeywell avionics system including the ED-600 EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System) displays: the EADI (Electronic Attitude Director Indicator) and EHSI (Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator). These are the two primary displays on the captain’s side of the panel. These displays are controlled by the DC-81X display controller located below the EHSI. To the right of the EADI is the Honeywell AM-250 altimeter, an advanced RVSM-capable altimeter. The aircraft’s Honeywell autopilot consists of the mode selector located above the EADI and the control panel located on the center pedestal. The EADI features many unique attributes: Standard attitude sphere for indicating pitch and roll, capable of being driven by the reversionary attitude gyro “ATT2” Selectable single cue and cross pointer flight director command cues Fast/Slow angle of attack display for dialing in your perfect approach Rising runway indication for enhanced situational awareness Radio altimeter readout Decision height setting and alerting Flight director mode indications and attribute displays Integrated marker beacon indicators On approaches, glideslope and expanded localizer display. The expanded localizer display replaces the rate-of-turn indication and instead shows a high-sensitivity localizer deflection indication, 7.5x the amplification to provide precision tuning and awareness of aircraft location within the center of the localizer. The EHSI also has many distinctive behaviors and features: Standard HSI mode, with course and deviation, providing a familiar experience to most pilots Arc HSI mode, which expands the HSI view to show a smaller range of angles ahead, but with enlarged indications for easier viewing Map viewing mode, with multiple distinct viewing options: When tuned to a NAV radio, and the selected NAV radio is receiving an appropriate VOR, the map will enter SRN (short range navigation) mode, where it utilizes DME and bearing values to generate a map based on received signals. This provides for much clearer flying behaviors when using VOR navigation. Underneath the map, a standard horizontal deviation indicator is displayed to reinforce what you are seeing on the map. When set to the UNS1 FMS source, it displays the current flight plan ahead of the aircraft, including waypoint names, turns, arcs, and holds. This is the airliner-esque navigation display you may be familiar with from larger aircraft and other modern GA avionics. Bearing pointers from NAV1/NAV2/ADF1/ADF2/FMS sources Heading bug connected to the autopilot Glideslope indication shown when appropriate DME display Interchangeable ground speed, time-to-go, and elapsed time display The Honeywell autopilot is driven by a fully-custom flight director with various modes: Heading hold mode, where the current heading is flown. In this mode, the aircraft can be controlled in a constant-bank turn using the turn knob on the pedestal autopilot control panel. Pitch hold mode, where the aircraft’s pitch attitude can be modified through the pitch knob on the autopilot control panel. Heading select mode, a classic autopilot control mode where the system flies the specified magnetic heading, as set on the autopilot control panel and displayed on the EHSI. NAV mode, where the autopilot can follow the various NAV sources, as fed to the EHSI APR mode, where the autopilot can also follow a glideslope (or emulated glideslope provided by an installed GPS unit, if equipped -- more on that later) Backcourse mode, for following a localizer outbound with reverse-deflections Altitude select and hold modes, with a preselector set via the autopilot control panel Vertical speed and indicated airspeed modes where you can specify the climb rate or speed via the knob on the autopilot control panel A novel and distinctive part of this aircraft is the wide range of navigation systems that can be used. We’ve spent an immense amount of time building out these integrations to ensure a wide range of flying types and needs are met. The Universal UNS-1 Flight Management System is located on the aircraft’s center pedestal and is present in all configurations. The UNS-1 can always drive the EHSI and flight director via the “FMS” mode on the display controller. Flight Plan Management: Create, edit, and store complex flight plans with multiple waypoints, including support for airways and terminal procedures. Advanced Navigation: Use direct-to, pseudo-VOR, holding patterns and lateral offsets Updatable database: Utilizes the X-Plane 12 navigation database, which can be updated via Navigraph. Performance Monitoring: Tracks fuel usage, estimated time en route, and wind impact for enhanced situational awareness. Integration with EHSI: Seamlessly drives navigation displays with real-time depiction of waypoints, flight plan legs, and guidance cues. The Standard Config: Honeywell CNI-5000 Integrated Avionics System. This is the classic radio assortment shipped with the aircraft. This features 2 COM radios, 2 NAV radios, an ADF receiver, as well as dual transponders with an active selection switch. Dual X-Plane GNS530: Two GNS units are mounted on the panel, replacing the CNI-5000. These navigators add a key capability to the aircraft: Vertical guidance on RNAV approaches. These units drive the EHSI/FD via the NAV1/NAV2 channel for the left and right GNS, respectively. This means you can utilize the FMS and both GNS radios at the same time, while also having access to the NAV radios. Switching the output of the GNS between GPS and the NAV radio is accomplished using the “VLOC” button on the navigator. With this configuration, two GTX 327 transponders are added to the panel. Dual GTN750Xi: We are thrilled to announce full integration with the upcoming TDS Sim GTNXi for X-Plane! (sold separately, Windows only) This will be coming in the next few months. We have been working with TDS on integrating their GTN750Xi navigator into the aircraft and we think that you’ll love it. Enjoy the feature set and capabilities of the GTN750Xi system, with many new features for the X-Plane market. A massive addition of this system is updatable navigation data and charts through Navigraph! The CJ525 is equipped with dual GTN750Xi navigators in this configuration, with advanced RNAV approach capabilities including vertical guidance. Simulated is the GTN Xi series (V20.x) including many enhancements from the original GTNs including higher resolution maps, faster overall usage, SmartGlide, etc Worldwide charts, fully integrated and geo-referenced into the GTNXi, from Navigraph RealSimGear hardware support For more information and to follow TDS’s progress, you can follow them directly on discord or their website. RealityXP GTN750 and GNS530: (sold separately, Windows only). The aircraft can be equipped with dual GTN750s or dual GNS530s. These tie into our systems in a similar manner as described above using the RXP GPS options. Some additional equipped avionics systems include: An approach indexer display mounted on the center column of the windshield. This system aids in flying stable approaches with the optimal angle of attack indicated as well as too fast / too slow indications. This system was modeled with custom lighting to ensure a vivid and beautiful effect, especially at night. Dual DMEs with hold capability, with distance, speed and time read-outs Copilot KI525A HSI with free/slaved gyro Pilot side dual RMI with NAV/ADF selections Pilot side course deviation indicator for the NAV1 primary source Davtron M877 Chronometer with GMT, LT (local time), ET (elapsed time), and FT (flight time) We hope this post helped illustrate how the Take Command! TorqueSim CitationJet 525 offers a remarkable set of unique and detailed avionics to provide an immersive flying experience. Every system, from the Honeywell EFIS displays to the advanced navigation configurations, has been meticulously crafted to provide both realism and versatility for pilots of all skill levels. Whether you prefer flying with traditional VOR navigation or leveraging the latest FMS and GPS integrations, this aircraft is designed to deliver precision, performance, and depth. We can’t wait for you to experience the innovation and passion poured into this project -- more to be shared soon! Have a Happy Thanksgiving holiday weekend!

Pils: Quite right. For whomever it might help, I first upgraded to the final ver of Monterey (macOS 12). No discernible improvement in the problems discussed above. Then upgraded to the final ver of Ventura (macOS 13, the highest OS my computer can handle). As far as I have explored so far, everything appears to be working as it should. Which is great, cuz I REALLY wanted to like this plane.

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

Man, its a shame this project never materialized into what it was supposed to become. I used to love flying the ixeg in xp11 and had high hopes it would be completed. Every now and then I check back on this forum to see if anything has changed and unfortunately still nothing. Xp12 is looking seriously good these days, I just wish the ixeg 737 was up to par because it has huge potential.

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!

First time I’ve tried it in XP12. Plane is ok for me in XP 12.2 beta 6. I have yet to do a long flight but I’ll report back, but so far sounds are great, controls are great, loading/fuel worlds, RXP 530 works. Lighting seems perfect so far. I’ll try some other loacations. Only things that seem amiss are to do with the aircon and possibly the de-icing but I haven’t used it in years so that might just be me. I must say, given that it is absolutely flyable and without literally any graphical glitches for me in 12.2, I cannot for the life of me understand why it hasn’t been updated. Like, how long would it reasonably take to slap a compatibility update on this thing? I’d pay for it. Others would also pay if this thread is anything to go by. It’s a unique plane in X-Plane both aesthetically and in terms of the airlines that still use it and it genuinely sucks that we still don’t have it ‘officially’. Thanks *oh I guess technically the windshield is ‘dirty’ or has permanent rain drops on it but that’s minor to the point that I don’t even know if I can be bothered fixing it.

Sure it can. And it will until the 737 is where we want it.

These are for Friction Control for the Throttle and Condition Levers. They are working. Move them full forward with the Mouse and you can't move the Levers anymore.

Would be wonderful to know if the team is working on the new 12.3 weather radar implementation for the 737. Will definitely look forward to it!

Because it has shrunk (and was publicly stated so quite a while ago).

Quite some time ago, but tried it as shown in your video and good enough for me

I've flown the B733 a few times since this conversation started back up. Even without any updates, I found the Vnav and Lnav to be incredibly stable. The aircraft, even in its current state, is a lot of fun to fly. There's no harm in giving the developer a gentle nudge requesting the status of updates. The harm here is accusing the dev of completely abandoning the project, which, in my understanding, is not true. In my years of living, and trust me, I've got many years under my belt, I've found that I can generally catch more bees with honey, rather than vinegar.

@Cameron Hello! How are you? Several of us are waiting for an update on this metal bird. Is there any way to find out about Take Command!'s future plans and its updates for X-plane 12? Thank you very much.

Can't get my mind off the 717 for the simulator...did I little bit of scavenging and most of the IXEG and X-Aviation developers on this website forum are not really online, if you visit the X-Aviation site you can see a lot of general aviation planes that are out with 1 newly released plane, I haven't heard of any of the other planes that they have released other than the MU-2 and the Classic 737 but I might just not be caught up with everything or if they might've been released before their 737, maybe their focus is on general aviation instead There are other people trying to get this plane for x-plane like the Freeware 717 but that is about 6 years old now, the updates look pretty good and there were a lot of good pictures coming out of that but the modeling delivery has been going on for about 3 years now...not sure if the person is still working on it since we haven't had an update from them since 2022ish? Otherwise we are thankful that there are efforts to put a proper 717 for the flight sim like the TFDI one, we aren't the ones developing it after all, we're just waiting..

I'm usually not that guy, but in this case, don't get your hopes too high. The last progress update (no, not aircraft update, just an update on the update) was in July last year, and since then, the developer keeps radio silence. It's been almost two years since the Moo last got an update (May 2023); bugs long known (missing click spot etc.) never got fixed (or the fix never published). That's sad for a $60 add-on, but nothing we can do about.

Performance is even better with auto ortho and X World installed than with default scenery. I run pretty high settings on a Mac XDR Display, so I'm definitely pushing pixels. It has no real issues running high end aircraft addons and scenery.

The TDS team have identified the issue and there'll be a fix in the first update.

As an old school pilot I'm accustomed to a paper checklist. Here is that I've done for the Marquise. She is a interesting plane, despite the lack of controls to link my hardware (I don't list all because there are a lot). Hope the mised controls will be published ASAP. MU-2 Normal Checklist.pdf

The promotional offer for an upgrade discount has long since ceased to be valid. The current pricing you observe is accurate.

No, there is no progression or news on the 717.

Hi, new member here. Title says it all. I own and have currently installed the RealityXP GTN 750. I would prefer to use that and not the default Laminar GNS 430s. Based on my understanding on the store page, the plane will let me switch to a GTN 750 loadout, but there is zero documentation on how to achieve that. Can anyone provide insight please? Thanks! Edit: Disregard. Had to repair my RealityXP install - the SR22 automatically switched to the GTN 750 loadout on next XP12 startup.

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.

Thanks Pils!! Working just fine now! Best regards

Many thanks for your answer. I’ll be monitoring that ! In the meantime I wish you all the best for your C525 release. Charles

Around what era did MikeL/RIM/BB have a Challenger? Now I’m curious!

This issue has now been resolved. Big thank you to Cameron at X-Aviation for his time and effort.

I used to fly these with the classic radio suite, No GPS, an outdated database in the FMC, a paper chart on my lap and the owner serving me pepsi and peanuts. Good old days. Will buy this for sure! Nice work!

One of my favorite combinations of aircraft: classic cockpit, optional GTN/GNS units to suit anyone's taste, all packaged in a reasonably fast jet to do fun flights around the country. Can't wait to share it with the world!

Honestly, I bought the plane at xp11 because it said that its upgrade would be free for xp12. I've flown it quite a bit on XP11 but since xp12 came out, unfortunately, I can't enjoy it anymore, I'm still waiting but now it's taken me to other planes that fly magnificently well. At least I read that it's still alive in xp12 although we don't know when.

Your FMC doesn't automatically know how much fuel you have onboard. During your pre-flight preparations (and once fuelling is complete) navigate to the PERF INIT page. Press the CLR button and then click the line select key next to CALC FUEL. This will then become "SENSED FUEL". This should eliminate your CHK FUEL issues going forward.
