  1. I think you're way out of line to assume what Cameron thinks about Linux.  I have personally spoken to Cameron and Ben Russell about Gizmo for Linux, and it is not as cut and dry as you make it out to be...... So to think Cameron has a problem with it, when you have no idea what has been going on behind closed doors, is simply foolish.

    I don't have a dog in this fight, but from an outsider's perspective, I think Cameron has made himself pretty clear how he feels about Linux with the things he has posted. 

     

    I understand the ROI argument and I don't fault XA or anyone else for not supporting Linux.  There are, has been mentioned, a lot of other OS options for anyone who wants to enjoy flying XA products.  Nuff said.

  2. So, be proactive. Take a step, start a movement.

    Sounds like a strong suggestion that you post a topic on the org yourself, since they can't do it for you.

     

    I don't use Linux, but as long as Laminar supports it I don't see why developers would not support it.  I have no idea how much work it actually takes to port a product to another platform so I have a hard time understanding why there is such adamant opposition to doing it.  If it takes hours upon hours, I can understand, but if we're talking a day or so, then it seems like there would be enough of a market to justify the work.  Just wondering.

  3. There are a lot to choose from.  STMA has the Beaver, the Otter, the Sherpa, the Husky and the Cub/Super Cub.  Then there's the C208 Caravan and the C185 Skywagon from Carenado.  All great planes.  Personally, I've just seen the Beaver that Pete is working on and can't wait for that to come out.

  4. I'd hate to be a builder of aircraft for X-Plane!  Damned if you tell someone you're working on something and damned if you tell someone when it's going to be available.  Might as well keep it a secret until it is for sale.  Might be less stressful without all the hullabaloo over promises and release dates not met.

  5. I don't own Goodway .. but it does have a rep in the X-Plane world, just don't think that it works in XP-10 anymore (until or if 5 makes an appearance).

    I haven't tried the plugin, but you can still use Goodway to do your flight plans and export them to your FMS folder and then load them into your

    FMS by clicking on the "Load" button in V10 or V9.7.  You can even load flight plans into the GNS430 by mapping a "Load" key in the Joystick and Equipment menus.
