Currently, our team is focused on ensuring a smooth and successful release, which means all our resources are dedicated to preparing the release package. As such, we won't be releasing any official pre-release videos. However, given the popularity and anticipation for this upgrade, we're confident that many streamers will be showcasing the product once it's out. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we prioritize delivering the best product experience for everyone on release day. We're excited for you to experience it firsthand! Thank you for your support!

@dr_nerdrage, Thank you for your feedback and understanding about the pricing. We truly appreciate your continued support! Regarding the time-limited upgrade options, we understand how it might be viewed from a consumer's perspective. The intent behind it is to offer a token of appreciation to our most dedicated users while balancing our business needs. We'll be sure to remind customers multiple times leading up to the conclusion of the discount period. To answer your question about future updates: it's our intention that the updates for "upgraders" will be free of charge. Thanks again for being a part of our community and for sharing your feedback. Looking forward to seeing you in the skies on Friday!

Thank you for sharing your experience. What I mentioned was based on the input from a long-serving 737-300 Captain. As with many things in aviation, practices can differ based on the airline, pilot preferences, and many other factors. This is why I qualified my statement with "in his days." If you'd like to discuss this in more depth, @Litjan, who's also well-versed in this area, would be more than happy to engage in a discussion, I'm sure.

Your question isn't stupid at all! Yes, the sounds you loved in the XP11 version are indeed the result of the custom 3D sound engine created by @tkyler. This engine was developed before X-Plane integrated FMOD, and it's what gives our products like the IXEG 737 and the Saab their distinct audio quality. We're proud of the immersive sound experience it provides and are glad to hear you enjoy it as much as we do! One day it will sunset in favor of FMOD though.

The FMOD sound pack is planned for a future update and won't be available immediately upon release. It's important to note that the IXEG 737 already boasts a custom 3D sound engine. So, when the transition to the FMOD sound pack is completed, the sound experience should remain largely consistent with what users have grown accustomed to. Most users will likely not even note the difference. As for the texture improvements on the external model, yes, the intention is to update some textures and 3D. As a whole, this product has help up quite well in that department though.

Pricing will reflect full retail after this period. A gentle reminder that this is not the first time you're hearing of this. You posted about it back in April, and you were given detailed replies as to the situation: https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/26540-ixeg-737-classic-for-x-plane-12-announcement/?do=findComment&comment=190694 We don't have any changes with regards to that, and being fully transparent, nothing has even started. That's a very long way out (if at all)! Yes, the v11 aircraft will stay available in your account! There was an e-mail that went out! Regarding VNAV: it's been explained by @Litjan that in his days of flying with a major airline on the 733, LVL CHG was favored over VNAV. We view it that all X-Plane 10 users got free upgrades to XP 11, and all XP 11 users got to enjoy it through the whole XP 11 run. That's years of time for their invested purchase. When XP 12 released, new customers needed assurance that their investment was not going to be dead in the water right after purchase. We needed to continue to fund the project to keep it alive. We feel the $14.95 reflects a fair value for an insane amount of work put in over the last 9 months. Hopefully majority of others will too. All original liveries will be included. All third party liveries will also continue to work, so nothing has changed there!

It...does!

We understand and respect your decision. When circumstances change in the future, we hope you'll reconsider!

Native support for Apple's M1/M2 chips is not available at release. However, you can run the product using Apple's Rosetta mode for the time being. We'll announce any changes regarding this support in the future, as it is planned. Firstly, regarding the FMS holding capability: You're absolutely right, and we recognize the importance of this function. As highlighted in our recent X-Plane 12 announcement, the transition to this new update allows us the opportunity to implement a range of updates to the FMS, which includes improving its existing capabilities. I invite you to read more about our upcoming plans and updates here: https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/26540-ixeg-737-classic-for-x-plane-12-announcement/ Regarding the 3D cabin: Feedback from our users is crucial to our development process. The addition of the 3D cabin was in response to frequent requests from our user community. While we understand that not every feature will be essential for every user, we strive to cater to the broader preferences of our community. The 3D cabin, wings, and doors achieves that in our initial update. Most importantly, this update allows the aircraft to even work in X-Plane 12. Without this update, the aircraft is quite literally dead in the water, as things as basic as even flaps did not work. It was actually a fairly significant amount of work getting this product running properly in X-Plane 12, and many improvements came with it (like lighting and rain effects). Rest assured, your feedback is valued and helps us prioritize our future updates. We're committed to improving this product going forward.

See the initial Press Release here for intentions going forward:

Livery compatibility has been kept intact!

Captains, Mark your calendars! This Friday, September 15th, we're releasing the IXEG 737 Classic Plus! This is a next era re-brand for what the IXEG 737 Classic has become after many months of labor.

To us, it's a rebirth of a classic, tailored for X-Plane 12. Truly, stepping into the cockpit feels so good in the new X-Plane 12 environment!

We can't wait for you to take to the skies with the IXEG 737 Classic Plus this Friday. Clear skies and happy flying! IXEG and X-Aviation

Tom furthered that with, "I have no control over that. ...see below". The customization of numerous buses in the Moo does not allow for the simplified options available on the RXP products. As far as Tom could tell, this is a selection within RealityXP's plugin by the user. It is NOT in the ini file. If you know of a way, by all means, speak away.

Hello, Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about RealityXP integration. In order to assist you more effectively, I would appreciate some further details. When you mention the autopilot is "broken," could you elaborate on the specific issues you're encountering? For instance, are certain buttons or functions not responding, or are there discrepancies in the autopilot behavior compared to what you expect? Your feedback is essential, and the more specific you can be, the better positioned we are to assist or look into any potential problems. Looking forward to your detailed response.

This particular problem has been documented multiple times on our forum. It's currently a known bug with X-Plane 12, and Laminar Research is aware of it. The resolution for this will need to come from them. In the meantime, as you've observed, starting with another aircraft and then switching to the DC3 seems to be a viable workaround. I understand this is not ideal, but it's a temporary solution until the issue is addressed by Laminar Research. We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

After activating and reloading the sim, can you please also make sure this panel state option was on and saved? We've seen a potential bug where it's defaulting to "After Start". Make sure to select the right option and save it. Even if it's selected, 'save' it for good measure!

@alexcolka, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are aware of the missing switch sounds in the DC-3 modern variant. Rest assured, we have identified this bug and are currently working on a fix. We appreciate your patience and will release an update as soon as it's resolved. Thank you for your understanding!

We are actively working towards full ARM compatibility for all the products we offer. We're in a transition phase at the moment, and there's a significant amount of code re-factoring underway. Please stay tuned for our official announcements regarding the ARM-friendly stuff! As a side note, there's a lot of incentive for this. Goran, myself, Coop, and Tom are all on Apple ARM chips. This won't get left behind.

Absolutely! It's coming, I promise.

The issue you're experiencing is a known bug with X-Plane 12, where certain aircraft freeze upon load-up. Laminar Research is aware of this problem. As an interim solution, I recommend loading a default aircraft first when you start X-Plane 12. Once that aircraft is fully loaded, you can then switch to the DC-3. This workaround has been effective for many users experiencing the same issue. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the developers work on a fix for this problem.

Hello, It seems from your description that the aircraft might be in a de-activated state. Typically, these kinds of issues arise when there are network-related barriers, such as firewalls or antivirus programs, that might be preventing the simulator from connecting to our servers for activation. Having checked the server log on our end, I don't currently see any attempt from your computer to reach out for activation. I would recommend you ensure that any firewalls or antivirus software are temporarily disabled or set to allow X-Plane and the associated aircraft to connect without hindrance. Once you've done that, please try the to use/activate the aircraft again. If you continue to encounter issues, don't hesitate to reach out.

It is an entirely new product. There is no shared 3D or code from the previous version.

The product supports the RXP 430 or 650, not the 750 at this time.
