There is plug-in interaction with the displays. They are NOT using vector.

Come one now. We Floridians (even if you're here only for school) should know better.

Not necessarily. It means we need to work out a few small things and if they get fixed today, then so be it, but if they take a little longer...so be it too. Oh the joys of custom programming.

Hi, there...thanks for your compliments. The release will be as soon as we're comfortable with the setup and iron out a few small kinks. Soon.

Items are entered into the scratchpad by pressing the letters/keys on the FMC itself. There's no copy and pasting here. It works just as if you were interacting with a real FMC.

Hey, Ola, Have you ever been to Mo i Rana? Looks beautiful!

Bouncy bounce!

What an understatement! I cannot WAIT for the day I get to relax and go out on the beach again. Days go by faster than ever at this point.

Scott, You have been responded to TWICE now from your contact form methods. Once on the 19th, once on the 26th. We respond to all inquiries, usually within minutes. If you'd like to send in another inquiry utilizing a different e-mail address outside of your .edu one we'd be happy to contact you there. As a rule of good measure, we do not handle customer order details or license matters in the forums for customer privacy reasons. This case is no different.

No, he was not. He's been actively making comments about his take on the manual here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2027.msg19290#msg19290 ...and here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2027.msg19081#msg19081 Should tell you quite a bit.

Thanks for the clarification here, Don!

Ah! Okay...So, yes...Ben was right the first time, and four cores are in effect. Cool!

You're correct. I was going by what Ben said. After reading it more, it appears the Macbook version of i5's are dual core. Even still, given the reports I have from Ben and how X-Plane runs on his machine, I'd say an i5 will pass the test for the Macbook Pro series.

I think you'll be safe on the i5 setup.

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.

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 to 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. It would probably be a different story if you were on a quad core at the least with 256MB VRAM. I'd say you could squeeze by on that.

Assuming that you're talking about the 21.5 inch iMac with an i3 processor, it only has 256MB of VRAM, and that's relatively low. I'm sure it'll work, but I don't know how well. With that said, let it be known now that I have NOT tested this aircraft on a 256MB video card, so I cannot vouch as to its performance. For any of you interested... I have tested the CRJ on a more modest computer with the following specs: Intel Dual Core E6850 3.0 GHZ 8GB (X-Plane uses only up to 3GB) ram AMD Radeon 5870 1GB ram The above setup, sans the video card, is 3.5 years old. With the above setup on extreme resolution I am getting about 33-35 fps. With regards to laptops...there are some that I personally feel are suitable. Among those are the latest editions of the Macbook Pro with an i7 CPU and 1GB VRAM. Overall the actual CRJ itself is not overly taxing. It's the plug-in driven screens and systems that chew up most of the power. Philipp has ensured that no optimization for this plug-in has been left out, and with the multiple cores put to use it also helps. With all of this said, the real culprit here will be your CPU!

Maxime, This is not a good way to be questioning performance on your personal machine. I'm not sure any of us have that add-on anyhow. If you're asking about your Macbook Air, I'd say it's unlikely to be a good candidate for this product.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Ola! It's great to hear of your satisfaction in another X-Plane product purchase!

More to it than that, but it's the larger portion of what there is to do.

The airline he was with no longer exists. X-Elbert, I think it's neat you got to be a part of Fly I. To me, it was a fantastic airline and had the economic conditions been right, I think it would have been successful. It was definitely a crazy saga watching that whole ACA turn to Fly I and then vanish.

Charts, calculations, and checklists.

Steven, Untrue. You still have a ticket pending a further response from you with a suggestion to fix this. Considering over 50% of our users are Mac and we can track install success on top of the fact that you see no other complaints here, I'm pretty sure you can safely assume Mac users are getting along just fine.

When it's released.

Tom, I have tested it extensively with non-released products that use Gizmo at their very core. I have never had any issues at ALL. To further this, I often times will use default aircraft (like the 747) as a testbed for Gizmo scripts that I create. The UFMC works great in these scenarios in conjunction with Gizmo as well. If you're interested in testing things out, go ahead and create a simple script for an aircraft (read through the Gizmo forum and learn how to make a simple dataref or something), and then test your aircraft with Gizmo and the UFMC running.
