Excuse you? Are you God Almighty and now everyone has xEnviro? You need a reality check. I also like how you decided to clip the part of the quote where Jan said "reporting this". In no way was he incorrect to say what he did, and he's pretty in tune to what's being reported on the IXEG product. Park the attitude at the door, or we'll help you with that next time.

Yep. Posts like this don't cause production to increase any faster. But, if you felt like you needed somewhere to just blog your thoughts....by all means.

I hope you feel better now. Back to the grind! There's nothing more to add than the latest post with update info that you've apparently read.

It will be free.

Then why post your hopes if you've lost hope? Time to stop being dramatic, people. There's plenty of recent info about what's to come. Let's focus on that rather than passively throwing meaningless comments out there.

Not so much cynicism as much as realism. It's not like the sound samples are going to change. I agree that any update is better than the last (we hope), but I'm not going to over hype anything. I want people to understand that FMOD does not always equate to some magical new doors being opened!

This is coming, but I think people over-hype what FMOD is or does. I really don't anticipate much a difference in what you hear vs what's in there now simply because we created a 3D sound engine prior to FMOD being available. Aside from just becoming cohesive in the X-Plane world with FMOD, I think you shouldn't get too overly excited about FMOD sounds on this product.

Glad you were able to get that off your chest! Now back to the daily grind we do day in and day out.

Weather data services used for sims (NOAA in this case) do not update weather frequently anyhow. Once per hour is the norm for that.

Yes, in your case you would want RWC and set it to the external injector mode.

Carefully re-read what you just quoted from me.

This has been resolved.

@DeltaTango @nechrofaust @VasilisMaximos @seth The RWC install issue should be resolved. You can re-download the installer and re-run it (the SkyMaxx Pro 4.8 installer). Using the one we released last night will NOT work. You MUST re-download!

Why did you try to update RWC? There was no updates to it. We are looking into that error, but I'm curious why you went down that route?

The aircraft is actually an X-Plane 9 plane that has been continually updated. It's last major update was in X-Plane 10. The aircraft is now X-Plane 11 only because it makes use of some PBR and other items X-Plane 10 cannot handle. We will not provide further updates on release times. Until you've been on our end of that situation I don't think you'll ever understand our side of that. We used to do it. We no longer will based on experiences from doing that in the past. Anyone is here to communicate. Pestering about when something will be released doesn't do anything for anyone. That's not really a communication issue at that point, and v2 is a separate product that no one has purchased, thus no one is entitled to. In reality, many customers started talking up v2 way more than we ever did. We really haven't been trying to sales pitch that other than something in the distant future. Hot fixes cannot be released for the bank angle because there are other code changes with it unfinished. Just because the cause of the bank angle was identified and solved for the next patch does not equate to a patch being ready. When it's ready it'll be released. When it's ready for release it'll be announced. Those are two things we can promise. It's being worked on daily. Hashing this out in a forum does no one any benefit except take our time to answer you the same thing said over and over....and there goes another five minutes of my day.

The portion of code that will facilitate RWC for this was done in SkyMaxx Pro 4.8. No update to RWC is required.

With the release of SkyMaxx Pro v4.8 this issue has now been resolved.

The version number in sim was a small oversight that is documented in the forums. You do have the correct version installed. I'll leave it to John or Frank to help you with the framing issue.

Thanks for sharing that, but I also wanted to make sure I understood you fully. I thought we had addressed those concerns to you. The way you worded it you still felt something was missing that should be standard. As Goran stated, flap sounds are pretty inaudible in the Saab. Further, even the lever is not really an audible item, especially against the dynamics in the cockpit with all the turboprop roar. Consider that pilots wear headsets and it diminishes even more! We actually DO have flap sounds, but they were done at a purposeful low decibel. Only other thing I saw in that thread was ground roll. I need to re-visit the rumble from ground roll, but I recall that being deliberate too. I have an immense amount of time in the Saab from the years 2004-2008, and a lot of initial programming and sound work revolved around that experience. These are really the only two things you mentioned in that topic, but the way you worded it in this topic made it out to be a bigger issue. You literally said "it lacks a lot of sounds." Is there anything else you wanted to add to that list? I'm not focused on the replay thing, just sounds that you consider to be standard. This is valid. Having said that, I also think you could have worked on not letting your frustrations get the best of you when you said, " Maybe I should tell them to buy the Carenado Saab instead, as this version seems to be buggy and no bugfixes are available." At that point you're just pushing buttons. Totally acceptable if you want to make such recommendations to others, but not really necessary to come in here and threaten it either. You could have also just bumped up the thread with a question of any progress and left the comment out completely. This is incredibly true. It's very easy for people to get lost in it all though. The work that goes behind these projects is a really insane amount. I'm proud to say that even since X-Plane 9 and 6 years later for this particular aircraft, we are still kicking out updates free of charge. Nothing says we have to do that, but we do.

I'm way more involved with products we sell than you realize. Don't assume things you don't know. You're very wrong with this comment. Assumptions get you in trouble. They were very relevant to his point (or so he felt). That's why he made the comments and tried to use them as a form to make his point. It's not hard to comprehend what he was insinuating when he mentioned paying full price and waiting for 3 months. The problem is he used that out of context to bolster his argument. That won't fly here. Period. I'll absolutely set anyone straight who skews things. We will agree to disagree. There's nothing sensitive about any of it, and if he wanted to keep it sensitive he should have left it out to begin with. I'm not even going to further argue that with you. Enough political correctness. Human to human, you're blowing things way out of proportion if non-detailed order info bothers you to your core. That's ridiculous. Find a way to control posting about it more. It's overboard. Now that you've seen my last post that this part of the discussion is done, it really and truly is. Anymore of it and it's gone. This is not the time or place to spill your personal battles. The Saab. That's what this topic is about, and it needs to stay that way. I hope I've made myself perfectly clear.
