I'll have to get it! It's always fascinated le. Got to finance for Saab and CRJ as well.

I just wanted to let you guys know. If anybody gets it, tell me how it is. It looks like they worked pretty hard to simulate it.

Sweet. That was fast Could you guys show some close-up shots of the EFIS map? Please!

That's great news Ben. I can't wait! ;D Maybe as X-Plane moves forward, more devs will use Gizmo. That should bring in the some more bucks.

I'm having a blast with her still! Landings are the most fun!

Please make that FlyBe livery too!

If it weren't for an injury and lack of time, I would be on the mountain bike trail flying down a forty foot dip!

After reading the post that Philip put up later in this thread, I think my Core 2 Duo might do it. It won't be perfect, but I have a little more hope now. Plus, Mac is supposed to get more frames.

Macs do piss me off in that sense. Not anybody can just go down to the store and drop thousands of dollars on a new Mac. Mine already seems to be a little obsolete for sim purposes and I got it a little over a year ago! >

I don't think memory would be too hard to upgrade. I'm not sure how well that would improve X-Plane though.

I'll probably get the plane and see if it runs well. If not, I'll go check with Apple and see if I can upgrade my CPU cheaply.

Man, this better work for my computer!

Are you sure? Ben purchased a new Macbook in July...it's an i5 quad core. Everything I can find pretty much suggests that Dual Core Macbook Pro's were no longer available as of April of last year. Sorry, I read his specs wrong. I have the i5 (which is technically a 2-core duo) with the GeForce 330M in it... Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB That still looks pretty similar to mine... I'll have to contact Ben and ask him, considering he's a big Mac person like myself.

Is that what you will run your CRJ on?

Hi, Perry, I'm pretty sure the CRJ is unlike any aircraft ever produced for X-Plane up to this point. I could be wrong, but as far as I know it will be the first aircraft to come up with vector driven displays, and this is where your CPU comes in. The "special tech" you are referring especially applies to those people with more than two cores, but will also be applicable to dual core machines. I don't know how old your Macbook is. I'm really not in a good spot to say, but my inclinations tell me that your Dual Core running at 2.66 and only 256MB may be a bit aged for this product. I got the computer in December of 2009, so it's not too old. For heavens sake, I can't afford to get a new computer every month! Well, if I turn down my res in X-Plane maybe I'll be able to handle it better. I'll do some research and see. Looking at Javier's window laptop performance, I think mine will probably handle better than his.

Hey, you work your butt off. Although delays are very frustrating, can we really ask more of you? Over here, products get delayed quite a bit, and that's the only thing that is frustrating me as a customer (and is probably worse for the developer). At the same time, the products over here are the best for X-Plane in my opinion, so I think it's an even trade-off.

That comment worries me. :-[ I have a: Macbook Pro 4GB of RAM 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Nividia GeForce 9400M-256MB Nividia GeForce 9600M GT-256MB Since it's dual core, the CRJ should take advantage of BOTH cores. Also, Macs apparently get better frames with the CRJ as well. I'm able to fly other planes on Extreme Res without any trouble as long as I take away the pixel shading and minor things like that. With the CRJ's special technology, I think I should be able to handle it well. Looking at my specs, do you foresee any problems with the CRJ? I know it's hard to pinpoint exactly, but just a basic guess would be great! ??? I've been dying to get this plane, so I'll have to make it work somehow.

I agree 100%. I've learned over time that in order to get the best quality aircraft, you have to go through hell waiting for them. Despite my jokes, I really do appreciate the work that Leading Edge puts into their products.

I'd like to fly this plane before I'm in diapers again ;D Just kidding. Well....I hope it doesn't take that long.

Has he completed any of them yet, or is he working on Mac, Windows, and Linux at the same time? It's comforting knowing that's all left though... And also nerve wracking ;D

Haha, that's pretty funny.

Damn, that is excellent work. I'm getting more and more excited for this one!

Tell me about it!? Even my daughter is asking "When are you going to finish your Saab?". And she's 5. I'll be providing 2 tutorials on how to fly it. One will be a quick flight without going through the whole start up procedure and the other one will be a full tutorial from start up to shut down with a bunch of navigation stuff in between. It'll make it easier to get through everything. (God help me, I'm proof reading my posts before submitting them!? I need a vacation.) :-\ Maybe your daughter will become a developer just like her dad. ;D

Sweet! I'm really excited for this one.

This project is never-ending! I'm glad to hear news about it. Here's my problem: how on earth am I gonna learn the CRJ and the SAAB? They are both extremely detailed models. Anyway, I hope to be in the skies with her soon!
