SOLVED This affected a subset of Windows users. If you were one of the affected customers please delete the installer you have and re-download.

Problem potentially identified. Testing a fix now. 70% sure about it.

Okay, standby while I investigate.

I'll look into this. Tests on Windows here were successful. Looks like Windows 10?

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.21 update for the Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic. All customers who have purchased the IXEG 737 Classic up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the IXEG 737 Classic from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.21 for you. ======== This update is fully X-Plane 10 and 11 compatible. IMPORTANT As of IXEG v 1.21 the flight model is now updated to XP v 11.1. THIS MEANS THAT YOU NEED XP v 11.1 OR NEWER FOR THE IXEG v 1.21 AIRCRAFT TO PERFORM AS IN INTENDED! So, if you use - say - XP 11.05 with IXEG v1.21, you will probably experience trim issues, aircraft nose wanting to lift off to early on takeoff etc. And possibly other strange issues. So if you for some reason wan't/need to stick with XP v 11.05 or older, stick with IXEG v 1.20. ======== What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php 2. Find your original IXEG 737 Classic download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Added reflective glass surfaces in cockpit for XP11 Added datarefs for autopilot modules Several bugs fixed to enhance stability of FMS Flight model is now updated to latest XP 11.10 standard. New downwash effects in XP11 (like mild nose-down effect when close to ground, as in reality) Enabled stick shaker sound again when near or below stall AOA Improvement to automatic go-around speed commands Improved cargo holds (lit at night, affect pressurization) Fixed standby-power logic Enabled Captain´s altimeter to work when powered by standby bus Stopped LNAV tracking when route is deleted Updates Gizmo to v18.01.02, tuned for consistent frame rates - roughly 10% faster As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Max, It's possible that a plugin you have installed is preventing a letter from typing out. To verify, type your password into the email field and see if all characters are there. If they are, then it's possible if you have some special characters in your password that it's the root of the problem.

No.

No. I still use windowed mode during development. It's under the selection of your monitor resolution within X-Plane.

I believe you're experiencing a 4k resolution issue. As I recall, I've heard of this problem with switch and knob manipulation with numerous aircraft, but I've only had one guy write in about it before. Apparently making X-Plane run in windowed mode is the answer. There is an app that will take the borders away and make it feel like full windowed mode. See if going to windowed mode solves your issue.

Nope, didn't say that, and if you know anything about our history you would know that's not how we operate. The Saab is not the only product we carry, and we do not have infinite resources/hands to do everything at once. Furthermore, in ten years of business we have yet to charge an upgrade fee on any of our aircraft products, numerous even from X-Plane 9 to 10 to 11. That was a rather foolish comment you just made.

The problem is that you have two accounts with us. One is a ******@me.com and the other is ******@blueyonder.co.uk. We only allow you to have one account. Which one would you like to keep so I can merge your orders into one and tidy this up for you?

Windows Defender is precisely what we address in these forums and is what's causing your issue. You need to make an exclusion as outlined in the sticky post.

With all due respect, what you carry over from some previous job does not directly apply to any type of integration in what we do. Furthermore, the explanation as to why the installer takes more time in this instance goes beyond the installer itself as explained. You asked if your suggestion would solve the problem. It does not, plain and simple (and shows exactly that you do NOT understand the situation at hand since you made such a suggestion).

Our goal with SkyMaxx Pro will definitely be to get it working in VR at some point. I do have an Oculus here in the office, but we have a couple of things to clear off our plate before we investigate this topic further. We'll definitely post more information on it as we start to examine what's going on and what we can do for VR users!

This is a very short-sighted post from you to technical things you as a customer do not think about. Just because a company (like Install Anywhere) makes installer compiling software does not mean that the software it compiles writes itself. We already use a multiplatform compiler similar to the one you have suggested. It still needs to be told what to do and how to interact with your server. So, the quick and dirty answer to your question is "No."

FMOD: Yes and no. No in that it doesn't use FMOD. Yes in that it has its own 3D sound engine that does the same thing as FMOD prior to FMOD actually being used in X-Plane. When the switch to FMOD comes, I would not anticipate much difference in how you hear the sounds since the two sound engines essentially are equal. PBR: Yes, the 737 has PBR. The core team consists of four. It becomes six if you add in contributions from Ben and myself.

We aren't prepared to announce that just yet.

Which VR set are you using? This certainly looks and sounds like it would be a fun experience! I was very impressed by the native VR Laminar came up with when it was on demo at FS Con.

It's not so much that the installers in general are a nightmare, but the backstory is that the Saab installer was originally coded in 2013 and at the time was our most advanced installer code to leverage some attempted load balancing on the server, as well as keeping track of file differences and updates. At the time it seemed like a great idea, but in reality it was a terrible idea that I didn't see coming as time progressed. Keeping track of all these variants and the file updates between them, as well as the many gigabytes of data became tedious in the way the installer is coded, and it caused headaches not only for distribution, but also for people like Goran when we would discover some files were not properly updated between variants at update release times. Over the years new installer formats have been developed because of this. Products like IXEG, the MU-2, and pretty much any other recent release contains the more up-to-date installer routines. The Saab needs some love to move to this system so we can future proof release delays going forward on it. At the moment it's not top priority over a couple of other projects that are first in line, but as soon as those are out of the way the focus will switch to this and bringing it all up to speed. We need to leverage our time spent on projects appropriately to balance business cash flow for all involved. We'll get there, just not yet.

Create a coroute folder in the main aircraft folder for IXEG.

As per the refund terms on X-Aviation: Please be aware that due to the nature of downloads being intangible goods, we do not offer refunds for any reason. You waive the right to a refund as soon as you process and download your order.

Yes, we know, and that was a conscious decision. We do not hold a Boeing license, and we are not out to get into wars with them on name use issues. From a legal perspective, with the title of the product as is, we are free and clear of infringement. Most simmers like yourself will know immediately when viewing screenshots what variant this is. Not a knock on you, but I'm giving you the back story on why we made this decision. It has not proven to be a problem for us, as the aircraft is pretty widely talked about in the XP community.

Hey there, Might be best to manually delete the Saab aircraft folder, as well as the uninstall file in X-Plane/X-Aviation and then re-do the installer fresh again. It sounds like some old scripts are for some reason getting left behind. Can you do this and report back?

No problem!
