    Observed with version 1.2 of the 737-300, Navigraph AIRAC 1706, and X-Plane 11.02rc1. The FMC will interpret a "below X, above Y" altitude constraint as "above X", which will lead to a violation if not manually corrected. I observed this on the HYDRR1 arrival into Phoenix Sky Harbour (KPHX), and have attached both the procedure chart and the FMC's interpretation of the arrival on the CDU. 00322HYDRR_C.PDF

    Not sure why you took that as an attack on the program itself...I was referring to comparing the Global with the -300.
  3. Eddie
    It's a lot easier to hold a global database on 2010 technology than 1984.

    I think the myriad of fixes to things you'll actually use take precedence over wingflex.

    Also, in the wake of many developers that seem content to charge full price for XP11 updates, having one that is reasonably priced (let alone free as with this) is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being transparent about what is necessary and I look forward to 1.1.
  6. Eddie
    Correct. As PNF will be handling communications, this would make the most sense from the controller's perspective.

    Too late.

    PF connects with _OBS appended to their callsign and PNF is the only one to activate their transponder.

    The FMC would have automatically tuned frequencies for DME/DME updating, at least in older variants. Don't think that's modeled here though.

    Many unrecoverable deep stalls on takeoff in the FJS 727v2...
  11. Eddie
    Above transition altitude or 15,000 feet in the climb, whichever is higher, and in the descent on profile STARs.

    Strange that the much-lauded X-Plane flight model takes up barely any power on today's processors, then. I'm confident a wingflex simulation will be even less demanding.
  13. Eddie
    I also have to say, though, that "the IXEG is an excellent plane" isn't really a rebuttal. We get that the plane is great (we all fly it, obviously) but saying things like "it's the best plane ever, it doesn't need wingflex" isn't helpful to anyone. I do agree there are more pressing matters.

    I think an "apples-to-apples" performance comparison between 3 and 4 would be nice, both to show what improvements we're getting for our money and to alleviate concerns about performance with the higher draw distance compared to v3. Do it and you have my money.
  15. Eddie
    Possibly unanswerable at this point, but will XP11 be a paid upgrade for existing IXEG customers?
  16. Eddie
    Thanks for the explanation. Is there an actual incompatibility between Gizmo and SASL or do you just not want to use it?
  17. Eddie
    I disagree, I think it makes a lot of sense. But it's your plane. How does swapping instruments cause performance issues, though? The IXEG does it and it's one of the best performing aircraft out there for me. The FJS aircraft and 767 also have it and I haven't noticed any real deficiencies.

    On this note, although it's extra work, I'd love to see swappable GPS options where you can choose between the KLN90, GNS and GTN units. I'd be willing to pay extra for such a feature, even.
  19. Eddie
    I'd say it's pretty close to release and much closer than XP11. On a side note, I find it hilarious that, while the ORG disparages Gizmo products because they're not "fully cross-platform" and are therefore "completely uninclusive", Laminar themselves featured two of them in the XP11 presentation.
  20. Eddie
    Honestly doesn't surprise me coming from JAR.
  21. Eddie
    Why would the DC-6 even be a factor? It's a completely different market. If anything, the x737 would be far more of a factor than an old propliner.
  22. Eddie
    I'd also like to see a solution that doesn't solely work with ONE overpriced tablet released by ONE manufacturer. Having a universal program across Windows, Android, and iOS, as with FlightFactor, makes a lot more sense.
  23. Eddie
    I like MisterX as much as the next guy, but let's be frank - his stuff is amazing for freeware. While excellent scenery, it's not close to the stuff coming out of FlyTampa or Taxi2Gate (although certainly better than a lot of the garbage that gets peddled as payware on the ORG)
  24. Eddie
    There are perhaps two developers that have currently made available payware sceneries directly comparable to FlyTampa or FSDreamTeam. (Southwest Florida from Aerosoft and later Nimbus sceneries) We might have some other good payware, but FSX has several developers continually making top-quality payware sceneries to which we have no direct comparison.

    I feel like adding a single powerful X-Plane flood light facing down the cabin from the cockpit door would do a decent job of illuminating the whole cabin and be relatively simple to mod in for users who want that. My only concerns are a) support for the modified plane and how to turn on the light in the first place, since there's no pre-existing switch you can assign or 2D cockpit to modify a button into.
