IXEG has incredible talent and having seen the project in person at a conference I can easily say it knocks PMDG out of the water (yes, I have purchased PMDG products). The simulation is amazing. There are things in there never before seen in any simulation, and it's awe inspiring. I don't see how you can even conjure up the idea that the -300 is the "only one they'd be doing." I don't even know that! PMDG's entrance into the XP world with the 737NG is almost assuredly not going to happen off the bat, and for a multitude of reasons. They are smart enough to realize this as well.

Maintenance.

For clarification...when you say new PC, I assume you mean new desktop PC and not a laptop, correct? This is a full size GTX 680? Your CPU would not be the bottleneck here.

Cassis87, I am sorry you have these feelings, and regret that the delay has put you in a position to no longer consider a purchase from X-Aviation. As I'm sure you know, we are not thieves, unlike your assertion of such in another thread. 64-bit is a big change for all vendors, not just X-Aviation. There are many who have yet to fully make the transition, and each has their own good reason for it. As an end user I can understand the frustration you feel, however, please know that we work each and every day to get closer to releasing 64-bit updates for our products. These updates take a lot of resources, time, and money to create, and in the end are provided to you 100% free. We thank you for your patience, and once you receive your update we hope you re-consider your stance. We definitely appreciate your business! I'm going to lock this thread now to be sure we end this on as positive a note as we can. Please don't hesitate to contact us via e-mail and we'll be very happy to assist or answer any concerns you may have.

Efficiency is up for debate. Appropriate? Depends, I suppose. It is definitely a suggestion I would offer. That said, it's obvious this is not a single persons issue. Carenado products are (presumably) in the hands of many. Limiting your support stream as an end user to one plance when you have forums at your fingertips is almost silly. I often times go to the forums for help on things I need (X-Plane or not) because I know I will often times get answers WAY faster than a company can get back to me. No, but nice try. The primary issue here is that the CRJ does not ship the same plug-in OR activation method between the various stores. File and folder structures are also different. As such, telling someone to try something that does not apply to the X-Aviation version or vice versa is purely frustrating for the customer. Chances are that majority of the customers here in the CRJ forum are X-Aviation customers, and used to the X-Aviation way. The same policy exists at the org for the very same product, and it's not personal. The experience is different in many regards, and as such, support is split. This is a much different situation than that of Carenado products (and many others for that matter).

Looks like a great product!

Because forums are a great source for questions answered, often times quicker than normal support channels from customers who have already seen and experienced these problems...including you, Steven. Try and see beyond the Cheer Team that you have going on.

Definitely good looking stuff, guys.

Highly dependent on your rendering config. Aside from the limitation in how much ram the sim can use in 32-bit, no, nothing else is different. Give it a shot!

Compared to placement to me it looks pretty dang close if not there. As is seen on the real one, the top left goes along that edge.

I don't see the problem...

I won't hold you back... Thanks, sir! We appreciate the compliments!

What Jim said!

Performance for RS products is often times better than what you would expect to find with default scenery. This is due to a number of factors, but in short, it's a lot more efficient than the layered approach X-Plane default scenery gives you.

At this moment there are 24 liveries in the base pack Saab package (passenger version). All will be included at no extra charge.

Glad to have you here, Bob!

Now that the truth of the joke has come out I wanted to address this for you, even though circumstances have now changed (since the product is not actually cancelled). Ben's post was in regard to his MacBook Pro. Apple has an extended warranty replacement program out on the logic board for his version of MBP. What happened was the video card was constantly rebooting the PC with multiple issues, including kernel panics. There was not an inch of data loss, and with such serious material (like Gizmo source) we are very careful with it. It's in the hands of multiple people (including Laminar), and backups are consistently pushed to a secure server in the cloud. I have no idea how long it would take for Apple to fix such a thing. See this post. All this said, I personally shipped Ben a new MacBook Pro last week and he received it today. Instead of getting the 2010 MBP sorted out, he was due for an upgrade anyhow and he's back on the grid with hardware he deserves to be working on. I just wanted to squash that silly rumor bug before it got out of hand. You're not the first one to show concern.

Sorry if you can't see humor, Phil. Hopefully you had some laughter somewhere in your day at least. To answer: Strictly dependent on who gets done first. It's not really a concern for us right now given that Gizmo, its updates, and the core code has somewhat been hand in hand in development with the Saab. We're not ready to release this today even if we wanted to, so I don't have a firm answer for you.

LOL. Sorry dude, but that's stretchin' our skills! Thanks for the compliments!

Okay, now that April Fool's is over, it's time to show off some more shots! Today we're announcing a new variant of the Saab 340A: Cargo! This variant will be included free of charge with the base package for all Saab 340A customers! It includes the cargo interior as well as a few liveries. We have a few more surprises in store on this project too, so stay tuned there! Programming on this product for all the systems has come to an end. We have been internally beta testing the Saab, and will soon move onto sounds once some final items are put in place with the Gizmo core. At that point we'll be expanding our beta to a few Saab 340 pilots (real world), after which it's release time. All this said, we still have a lot to show you ahead, and we're really excited about it! Enjoy the Cargo variant previews!

Okay, you guys were tough to crack on April 1, but now I got ya. April Fools! Enjoy the new previews!

NOTE: This was an April Fool's Joke Hi, All, My apologies for being inconsiderate of the date this was posted. This post is not to be taken as a joke. We appreciate the support throughout!

Hello, all, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.3 update for the Leading Edge Simulations Beechcraft Duchess. All customers who have purchased the Duchess up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete installation instructions on how to update your product. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the Duchess from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.3 for you. 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-aviati...talog/login.php 2. View your past order history invoice that contains the Duchess purchase on it. 3. At the bottom of the invoice you will find a blue highlighted link to your update that says: "Beechcraft Duchess". The new installer will detect whether this is a new install, or if you already have any Duchess version installed. Depending on your current situation, the installer will run through the appropriate paths with you! Your liveries/downloaded paints will be safe in this process! There are some important fixes and requests implemented in this update. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: - Revised/Corrected flight model for X-Plane 10 NOTE: This update still includes an X-Plane 9 version of the Duchess as well, but for X-Plane 9 nothing has been updated. 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.

NOTE: This was an April Fool's Joke Hi, Folks, It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce we have folded up the Saab 340A project. There have been many uphill battles in development with this project, especially in the programming side. While we did get 90% of the way there in our development, that last 10% often times amounts to the biggest hurdles in these kind of products. Leading Edge Simulations' team will be taking a small break away from any kind of development over the next couple weeks. We believe there is a larger market for slightly more simplistic simulations that take less programming and better 3D/eye candy. As such, we will soon announce the next two projects that have already been underway once the guys at Leading Edge Simulations get back from their break. We thank everyone who has been patient throughout the development process of the Saab, and for sticking around for news as long as you have. Your words of encouragement are not missed!
