Not even in the same league. Sorry to those who made the aircraft, and also sorry (kind of) for even saying it when I probably shouldn't...but I just did. Uncalled for, Tom. SkyMaxx is easily the most successful and used add on in the X-Plane payware market to date. The fact they gave version 1 to 2 free of charge , and version 3 two years later at 50% discount was more than generous. Don't even bother replying to this in here. You're on an edge that will eventually lead to suspension if you keep it up, and I'm very serious about that. This is your one and only warning. Behave.

Sometimes I wish I could agree with this statement, but I cannot. There have now been numerous releases across several platforms which have somehow convinced people products are "study sim" and majority of people are none the wiser. They will literally fight to the death to defend their purchase after the fact too if anyone dare point out deficiencies. One man's study level sim is another man's piece of garbage. In other words, Tom is absolutely right in saying the term is subjective, and as someone who deals with customers on and off these forums more than anyone, I say such with great certainty and confidence. In the end this aircraft is summed up simply for me: Even as a version 1.0 release it is the most immersive, fun, detailed, and truthfully simulated product ever put out for X-Plane. It would remain that way for quite a while if IXEG chose to never touch it again after release. Luckily, the drive is there to continue forward beyond 1.0.

We are not seeking beta testers for this product.

This alone is worth its weight in gold you cannot comprehend my intentions. Perhaps you just love to debate, don't know...don't care. I stated nothing to indicate a study level sim will not and should not have specific features. I stated for a version 1.0 release, these items are non-consequential. You are definitely making a bunch of nothing, and given the actual usefulness of the features (or lack thereof) in day-to-day life as Jan has so eloquently pointed out, these are really not enough to be making a big party about...especially knowing the commitment IXEG has to implementing them. If you're a nerd and want to use these features, great. They'll come. But, it's apparent some people assume some features are or would be used more in real life than they are. That's my point. It has zero to do with whether they should or will be implemented. You're quite educated on this product, Eddie. Let's stop debating. It's wasteful in the context of time.
-
Please stop trying to make a bunch of nothing, Eddie. You're being ridiculous. You're not oblivious as to the intentions of this project in the future. Don't blow this out of proportion more than Mr. Knudsen already has. Thank you.

Jan's post above addresses this armchair pilot assumption quite nicely.

Timing is everything, sir.

@jonathan To be clear, our team of testers has had various versions over the course of the last year, so this has not by any means been a short beta. It is how we've dealt with this entire development cycle which will make the final beta version a short test (hopefully).
-
@jonathan, We will definitely have some marketing time in there somewhere, but that's only allowed while our group of beta testers is doing their job. We only issue installers to our beta group in stages, with specific tasks to follow/test. I would say when we're done with the product at 1.0, we'd hand it off to the beta group and they would at MINIMUM have it for 2 weeks or possibly more. There's no telling what happens in that timeline. Keep in mind, the team tests things heavily prior to the beta team getting stuff (Jan especially tests a lot), so while we don't anticipate issues we can never say never.

short·com·ing: a fault or failure to meet a certain standard It's not hard to see what @frumpy found to be badmouth-like language. If you fail to see how your post could have ever felt that way then I too am confused. Truth be told, most everything Jan has listed is non-consequential. He went out of his way to list items that in all reality have zero bearing on daily flying life of a 737-300. As a captain with thousands of hours experience, I would trust his word. Your post was indeed a slight. One that came about a LONG time after this thread had been made, on a forum you visit practically daily, and only after you were found in a spat in another topic. Let it go, man. Quit arguing, acting like you have no idea what other people are talking about, and move on.

Tom, Please consider being a positive example and contributor to this topic rather than continue to attempt to derail it. I am not interested in your games. I am interested in releasing one of the greatest products ever created for X-Plane. Thank you.

Colin, for that you would do: <a href="http://www.link_to_website" rel="external nofollow"><img alt="name(like Donate Now)" src="http://URL_Of_Image.jpg"></a>

Ben posted at the same time as I, and pretty much the same words. Nothing he said was wrong. Let's not get into a debate on who needs to "relax" (though we'd all love to get this out and relax ourselves). Keep in mind you're the one asking the questions, not Ben.
-
No news to share on release at this time, and to be real honest, I don't think we'll really ever do so until the product is actually complete. Giving firm release information, even when it's in honest estimation just doesn't serve a great purpose. All that matters is we're all heavily involved and working daily on it.

Laminar Research has released X-Plane 10.45 RC-1 to the wild. As per their release, "X-Plane 10.45 is a “small” patch for us in that it doesn’t contain major changes to the code, but it contains a number of features you might like." Changes include: An update to the global airports. The global airports won’t conflict with custom scenery – new exclusion technology prevents overlapping buildings. Nav data has been significantly updated – lots of bug fixes are in 10.45. The GPS data for the G430 now contains IAFs, so you can fly GPS approaches with proper transitions. Proper prop torque for aircraft that opt in. -
Straight from the man with the most non-relevant, non-productive posts on the forums. Both sites combined.

Hi Colin, BBCode was formally dumped for a number of reasons in favor of HTML. The primary is because it will allow us a lot more integration going forward, and BBCode is now commonly being phased out across the web (whenever people finally decide to move forward on newer software or technologies). The new way to enter in images is rather easy. To the right of where you would drag files to upload you will see "Insert other media." Click this and simply click "insert image from URL." Rather fast, really! If you'd rather hand code it like you could previously do with BBCode, the format is as follows: <img class="ipsImage" src="http://URL_TO_IMAGE.jpg"> Hope that helps!

No sir, not at this time.

You can simply click on Activity > My Activity Stream > Content I posted in. (Please note the first time you click this it may take a while to load as it builds a cache. After this it should be quick access every time) Additionally, you may create your own activity stream which conforms to your personal liking.

A macro is something that goes and does a task for you. In this instance Jan speaks of a system where you would press a button and watch the plane go through the startup sequence. Something like this is not implemented. What's implemented are user preferences to start immediately at a selected state. Not a macro.
-
All of this is no issue. The 737 has a selection window to select cold and dark, turn around, or engines on and irs aligned.

X-Pilot has a new design! We've implemented a huge upgrade to our forum and news system, and there are many new features as a part of that. Enjoy the new layout and more intuitive user interface! Happy flights... -
