Indeed.

Hey, All, Being more on the development and customer service side I don't get to "fly" all that much these days anymore. It's been a very long time since I've really got to sit down and enjoy the awesome creations that come out of the X-Aviation factory! That said, I took a small bit of time out tonight to do a flight from Miami to Orlando with the Take Command! CRJ-200 and the RealScenery Florida scenery. Hope you enjoy!

Due to the proximity of X-Plane 10, no.

Nice screenshots, guys!

We're not implementing this. It's been discussed, and we made our decision long before it was released, and shortly after. Our CRJ mimics factory shipped models. All 99.9% of them you see on the market. To this day I have still not seen an airline utilize this, and even then I don't see the "need" for it given the use of this aircraft in day to day operations. We're going for majority here. A/T in the CRJ in real life operations loses that battle. Sorry if this is not to your liking!

Airports really aren't moved unless they are small, rural one's that are off in comparison to their REAL world position. Most of the bigger airports are just adjustments to the shape in X-Plane of the taxiways, but in the end everything still lines up perfectly. Provided that scenery makers used real world positioning for their objects you should have NO problems at all. Every MSFS scenery I have tried over RealScenery has meshed perfectly thus far, and I think you'll find this the case with things you convert or move into the scenery folder as well.

Tom, If that's the case then you have your x737 installed wrong. You should NOT have the x737 plug-in installed into the global X-Plane plug-ins folder, but in the actual x737 folder.

Not really true, actually. I do have a MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz i7 that runs the CRJ at a very smooth, non-laggy 60-65 fps on extreme settings. Suffice to say, depending on the processor, 2.2 can be plenty.

What is the video card in this laptop?

This is not enough information. What are your system specs?

Nice work, Javier! Thanks for sharing!

Rami, Due to American holiday there is a delay in response time. I'm not quite clear on why you think there's an email you should have received. We do not set customer passwords...you do. If you failed to remember your own password and requested a password change but have not received the new password then a support ticket is in order. Considering it sounds like you have submitted a support ticket you're patience is appreciated while we answer customers who have waited in front of you. No preferential treatment is given. Thank you!

Read the blog that suggests such things just as Morten did.

Hi, Oliver, As stated, unless the following topic is followed we cannot easily assist with this matter: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=2486.0 There are guidelines and topics as well as what to post in those topics to help us assist with such an issue. Thanks!

Depends on the circumstances. It's generally preferred, but there are cases on non-exclusivity even at X-Aviation. In the instance of the Q400 I don't believe that is the case. Armchair is Jack/Joe's site, and considering it's presumably to be sold on both sites it's not an exclusivity deal. This could just as easily have to deal with a description revision as I stated above.

I was directly answering your comment of: "I was under the impression that it was only sold at armchair aviation."

Where a developer sells their product is their choice. If Jack chooses to sell at the org and also distribute on his own site (armchair) then he felt it right to do. No idea on why it would appear and disappear. Perhaps it was pre-maturely released, or they are altering descriptive info on the product. No idea! Best of luck on the Q400 sales, guys.

Hi, Oliver, I know this defies your price budget, but I highly do suggest the Bose A20. They run more expensive, but you WILL appreciate your investment if you plan to stick with flying. Odd as it may be, on longer flights they also help with fatigue. There are many other noise cancel headsets out there, some cheaper, but I have found Bose to be the best in selection. No, I'm not a Bose "fanboy." Considering your budget, Bose has a nice no-interest program, and it is NOT credit or a credit card. They are simple monthly payments that don't require any kind of application or acceptance into the program, and because it's not a form of credit it does not require a credit check or affect your credit score at all. Looking at their site right now, they have two options. The lowest option is $91.33/month for 12 months. By the end of your payments, you end up paying the exact same amount you would have if you pre-bought at the regular price (well...kind of...it's a one penny difference). You should definitely check this out if you're serious about keeping your flying career going for the foreseeable future! They'll last you a very long time!

Read my post above, Steven. There are reasons and logistics involved. I lightly touched on this as to reasons why it's not done in that way. As a customer it may never make sense. As someone involved very directly to what's going on with Gizmo it makes perfect sense. It is what it is, and I believe very firmly in my post just above yours. Good on ya for your purchase. Thanks for supporting Ben's efforts!

You'll find that the Saab is heavily optimized and will perform very well (much better than even the CRJ, actually). No need to even worry about it.

That "register Gizmo" screen should not be coming up. Something is definitely going wrong with your installation...missing files somewhere, or outdated files somehow. If this problem persists, please contact X-Aviation for further assistance: http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/contact_us.php

Assuming you are on Windows, it sounds as though you are missing a necessary module. My guess would be an improper install of OpenAL. Please download and install the following, then try loading the CRJ again: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip

Arno, et all, The point of this is everyone is right. I am right, Joe is right, Ben is right, and even Ed is right. We all have our OWN opinions. The REALITY is acceptance. What is truly "right" and fact is that Gizmo is currently deployed in the fashion it is, and we must accept that. The reality is also that suggested methods in this thread have been tried...they did not work. The reality is also that the return of investment to do what some would suggest is "right" is not there, and should you want that method X-Aviation has that solution for your customers all while Ben gets a slice of the pie. It is also reality that majority of funding or existence from the beginning of Gizmo's entrance of the commercial market was due to X-Aviation products. Ben has had the idea of Gizmo for ages (and thank God for it!). X-Aviation products (be it publicly seen or not) were the push to get it done. What we must face is that Gizmo is distributed how it is, it IS a small fee, it IS a tried and true model that does work to bring Ben cash (like it or not!), and Gizmo DOES give power to developers to get things done. Those are the facts, those are the pre-requisites to know as developers, and those are the realizations developers must face. With those realizations comes responsibility of alerting customers by informing them of how Gizmo works. I view the problem here not so much to do with the fact a customer can (not has to) purchase a license to rid of the nag screen, but to alert customers that Gizmo is in use, the conditions in which it is used, and why it is so valuable to the customer (not only for one said project, but for many in the future). With these things in mind, I do firmly believe customers will realize Gizmo's existence and importance. For now, it's just a name to those that don't develop. However, getting the word out there to non-developers and why Gizmo is important will also help others "see the light." It is how it is. X-Aviation has an edge through not only contract, but also infrastructure. Years of it. Such an infrastructure to duplicate would not be economical, nor is it within scope of any agreement in place. Facts. We must face them. Spreading the word of how important Gizmo is to our future will also help. That is and should be the responsibility of all developers, myself included. I am forever grateful for Ben's drive and efforts put into this fantastic project. Thanks, Ben!
