Thanks, Flaviossa. We'll continue to look into this!

Alright, so I've been called out in this little letter here. Guess it's my turn, huh? In your letter you state that Tom and I "have told us our reviews are destructive because they are not critical enough, and that we allow mediocre developers to pawn-off their wares on a gullible public, and that has to be accounted for." After reading that, I think it takes a little while to interpret what's being said here. I believe what you mean is that is your general consensus of what was said, and surely NOT that we told you that your reviews were destructive. What may surprise people here is what WAS really said by me, mainly because people are used to the censorship mentality from developers trying to protect their product. So, I'm going to use the good ole' number system and just state my points in a simple, yet (hopefully) effective manner and get out of here. So, here goes: 1. I believe you should be able to say whatever you want to say about a product, especially if you buy it. Regardless of such, I believe you should be able to say whatever you want to say even if you DON'T buy it! This is where I feel you guys fall short, simply because you are too worried about burning a bridge. We (at least at X-Aviation), have consistently told you to be as critical as you feel. X-Aviation takes this risk day in and day out with magazine reviews, online reviews (like Avsim.com), and even our own store review system. We have a live online store review system for people to share their thoughts and help other people make purchasing decisions. 2. I feel that the MSFS crowd needs to see what X-Plane can do from an honest point of view. You will earn respect and credibility from the masses when you're honest in your positive and negative views of a product. Remember...you're 'customers' are the users of X-Plane, NOT developers, so stop worrying about what we think when it comes to saying something good or bad about a product! It's like someone else said here: free media. 3. If your review is negative, chances are you aren't the only one that thinks so. You'll have a backing. If a developer truly cares about their customers and the product they are selling they will try and fix the product to meet the masses wants. This is similar to how we get bug fixes done. They are like mini-reviews from people that inform us what they feel is wrong with the product and where we need to improve. How do you think people would feel if we left everything unattended to? These three simple points are all I really have to say right now. You guys can do what you want with it. In my eyes, at this time, the only people being destructive are you guys to your own blog by not pushing forward amidst the raucous. Have faith...it works...in some form or another.

Because when it's not there people complain to have it in.

There's a few of us that have been working on various aspects of the sim or tech involved. I'm sure it will all come out in time. It's an impressive lineup for v10.

That's because Javier is one of the Laminar plane developers for XP 10.

It's not fan made. It's officially sanctioned by Laminar.

Why did you do that? It's an installer file. You don't drag anything, but rather launch the installer and let it do the work for you just as the update instructions state to do.

Sounds like you didn't update over an old version of the aircraft. The update requires that you update an already installed aircraft, not from scratch.

Markus is correct. The fix was for the gap between the panel and windscreen.

Should be fine. 9.45 is the lowest version of X-Plane Peter supports.

And while this is true, and considering Peter has yet to produce a 3D cockpit for any of his products (not saying it's good or bad), this still doesn't negate Paraffin's remarks. Nope, sure didn't. I asked you a question, you answered your thoughts, I thanked you for chiming in.

When someone comes out to say they bought a model and did the best they could personally do to reduce the complexity of the model (note that Peter has mentioned doing this himself in the past when it comes to the A380, including animations) as mentioned by Kesomir above, I certainly don't interpret this to be working with anyone. Odd that you would. Thanks for pitching in your $0.02 anyhow.

Not sure about this one. Peter has always been quite upfront about the situation, partially because of the explanation for the very high poly count with the model itself. The explanation from Peter that I recall is the exact same that Kesomir has posted above your post.

And that's exactly my question to you. From where did you hear Mr. Hager is teamed up with a modeler? This is far from what I have interpreted based on the many reports the model was purchased. Perhaps you have never heard of sites similar to TurboSquid? I'm not insinuating this is the place of purchase for Peter, however, I do question where you may be getting complete opposite information of what already three other people in this thread have heard.

Can you share where you have received this information? All other readings I have done indicate the model is purchased.

We'll have a price set in a few days time.

Hello, All, Leading Edge Simulations and X-Aviation are proud to announce the upcoming release of the Beechcraft Duchess! This aircraft has been under wraps for some time, keeping the developers busy for a surprise release, which will come very soon now! The aircraft will come in two liveries, which also include two different panel colorations according to the specific aircraft itself. Enjoy the screenshots!

It hasn't been long at all. http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=533.msg9294#msg9294
