    Very much looking forward to taking the 733 out for a spin in XP12. Always been one of my favorite addons ever for XP with an amazing level of immersion. Excited for Friday!

    It becomes tiresome to read the whinging about upgrade prices from a vocal few who seem to have no respect for the amount of work it takes to develop hi fidelity addons. I bought the IXEG a long time ago nd have flogged it to death and will be very glad to see one of the most immersive addons in any sim updated and expanded upon. Anyone who expects that for free after years of usage is being disrespectful to ALL developers who spend many hours for very little reward. Big thanks to those who are bringing the 733 back bigger and better than ever.

    Very glad to pay the $15 to upgrade as i have flogged the 733 to death over many years of enjoyable flying. I dont expect anyone to work for nothing a i certainly wont! Looking forward to taking it out for a lash!

    Quick mod of the Q4xp pilot mod for external views thats available on the org that will gives us pilots in the external view of the 650. Follow the instructions in the mod with the exception of the positions listed below. Use these positions instead and all of a sudden you will have pilots in your Challenger not a drone. External screenshots are massively lacking with a vacant cockpit this fixes that.

    Gday, First awesome work on the 650 its fabulous. I have tried now at several airports with weather ranging from light snow to heavy snow all below zero C to get the snow textures to appear on the 650. I have tried default, AS and xenviro and in every case no snow textures are appearing on the wing just the standard reflections. In all cases weather was well and truly in the range where snow would build up. So is there a minimum texture, effects or display settings required to make them appear? An example taken a short time ago. Deice textures are appearing ie type 1 and type 4 colour textures without issue.

PS How about some pilots in the exterior view so in screenshots it doesnt look like a drone? There are some very acceptable pilot models available for exterior view use and no i donbt like pilots on the inside in xplane they do look very average indeed. Thanks again for the great work.

    I have default as to what was included in the package abour 14 hours ago..ill try the new cfg's and im another GTN750 only user. I hadnt used the 430 but have the disbled left knobs issue as well. Ive now had the GTM screen fail to display twice. Using the GTN popup the unit is working its just not displaying the screen here. Further swapping the cfg has now stopped the GTN750 from displaying at all. Only way to see it is via popup. Bizarre as i did three flights in it yesterday after purchase without issue. Buttons still U/S on left dial of 430 With new cfg also waypoint names are not rolling over to show active waypoint.Distance info etc is correct just the name not rolling over to reflect active waypoint.

    Thanks mate i was starting to figure that...great work on the product!!
  8. DarrenHowie
    Probably a ridiculously stupid oversight on my behalf but can someone tell me where the co-located DME distance is displayed for a VOR or ILS? Im not seeing any distance info on aids with colocated/tuned DME's and i cant find a way to display it ie via a PFD setting. Its displaying that its a VOR, its frequency and the bearing but no distance info. GPS distance is displaying ok. Thanks Darren
  9. DarrenHowie
    My GTN750 is working fine however..on the PFD the waypoint is not updating ie distance information etc is correct but the name dispayed is not rolling over. Other than that working fine.
  10. DarrenHowie
    Thanks for finding that fix. I was getting CTD's on launching the TBM from out of the blue, traced it to the scenery and boom yep SCEL is crashing the TBM due to its name. Thanks for finding it!!
  11. DarrenHowie
    Cheers for getting back to me mate. Been spending a fair bit of time in it great little aircraft. Cheers

    G'day, Great work on the SR-22 its outstanding. Im finding if i use the Livery Generator to change the tail number i then subsequently get a persistent unfixable ALT 2 failure. I have tried restarting both sim and PC to no avail, trying to fix it via the inbuilt maint menu etc. Elec diagram is showing zero output so its definitely failed. Any ideas if i have missed something very obvious?? A reinstall fixes the issue of the ALT 2 failed but as soon as i change the tail number its failed again. Applies to all liveries even if i only change the tail number on just one airframe. Ideas? Thanks again for the SR!
  13. DarrenHowie
    Out of interest the TBM was working fine in 11.30B4 but in B5 mine is completely broken with torque and rpm issues. Its affecting Milviz stuff and carenado as well. Back to non beta for me...
  14. DarrenHowie
    Thats what it appears like as explained it does the whole look of not having a license thn it reloads then unloads etc. Turned Terramax off for the moment..
  15. DarrenHowie
    I have the sme issue reported in terramax forum. Continual reloads of default textures then back to terramax textures as if there is a security issue. This has only happened since installing the TBM and i have been using terramax since almost day 1. Cheers
  16. DarrenHowie
    Since installing the TBM900 i am getting continual reloading of scenery in Terramax. I get laoding default then having loaded default i will get loading summer(whatever my selected season is) then it maybe ok for a while. Then reloading default then reloading summer again. I have had to turn Terramax OFF as this is driving me insane with contilual 45-60 second pauses as textures load, reload, reload etc. This has only occured since yesterday after purchasing the TBM which is working beautifully by the way. I have been using Terramax since launch without issue until the TBM. Something in your security ie the TBM blocking terramax from getting through to your servers possibly as its the EXACT same thing as if a xx license check has expired. Cheers Darren

    G'day Cameron.

    Just read your response.

    I have filed 2 requests now via your support system if thats what you call it.

    I am appalled at your initial post why? Because waiting for now 7 days for a product i legally purchased then used your system twice via your support ticket system which clearly hasnt worked is "MY PROBLEM"?

    I am not  dickhead i am an real world A-320 Captain ex 330 as well and certainly know how to put in a support request.

    Feel free to check my website www.vortexaviationphotography.com if you would like "proof" of that unless i somehow can get flightdeck acces on hundreds of occasions of the last 20 years.

    I again have filed now 2 support requests via your system off the hotlink next to the 737 under my downloads.

    Firstly your assertion that i have an agenda if complete rubbish i just want to download a product i have purchased legally and from many of my posts here and elsewhere enjoyed a lot.

    This is the bullshit that gives xaviation a bad reputation.

    I file a support request get no response not even an email to acknowledge my support request.

    Then i post on your boards after waiting 6 days for some kind of response and i am accused of causing trouble because your system clearly isn't working.

    You accuse me of lying and not lodging a support request even though i have lodged two!!!!!

    My original request was lodged last Thursday Australia time. My second request was lodged last Sunday some 72 hours later.

    Its now 7 days later and still the product remains unable to be downloaded.

    I have no barrow to push I just want access to a product i legally purchased only 7 months ago.

    If you feel to deny me that because I am not prepared to take second class service having used your support system which has obviously failed in this case(7 days from my original request now 4 days from my second one) go right ahead.

    What would i have to gain by criticizing a product I have recommended to so many people? Well? Or would you like me to prove that as well?

    When you accuse someone of lying(prove you put in a request) and I mean how can i prove i did when your system doesnt even send an acknowledgement of of the request?

    I guess this is my fault as i expected X-Aviation to support its customers.

    Regards

    Captain Darren Howie

      What you do in your life as a profession is of no interest to me. Quite frankly, I don't think others care either.

      The instructions as to what to do for you were in the post I replied to. Either do as suggested to get a support ticket in, or move on from trolling.

    Yea mate from up in Cairns these days. I purchased in on the 1st of August so the link is barely 7 months old. I can redownload Flytampa stuff or stuff from Simmarket i bought 10 years ago yet X-Aviation its not even barely more than 6 months and i even have slots left over unused. 9 days with no response hey its unbelievable to have a company like this selling what is the best Airliner for xplane.
  19. DarrenHowie
    G'day Went to redownload my IXEG 737 as mybackup was corrupted only to find the downloads are time limited. So sent off a request last Thursday for reactivation ie 6 days ago. Still no reactivation, still unable to download i legally purchased and no contact whatsoever. I undestand you are not X-Aviation however YOU choose to use them as your supplier to the customers ie ME. And right now and looking round the customer service or lack thereof they supply is appalling. Can you please advise how I am to get a download copy of the 737 when the Vendor seems very happy to ignore the system (appalling that it is) they set up? For a great addon to Xplane its pretty disappointing.

    Great screenies guys this looks very cool. the one thing really missing from SMP so far is real looking Thunderstorms with properley rendered towering CB's which look menacing. Always been very happy with your rendering of normal clouds etc but we really really need proper Thuderstorms. I took these at work note the hard edges on towering Cu and CB's . hope you guys have something in the works to get the storms looking awesome as everything else looks great.
  21. DarrenHowie
    Ok thanks very much! once again awesome 737!
  22. DarrenHowie
    Hi Guys Firstly really been loving your 737. Im a 320 Captain in the real world and never would give up my tray table for a real one of these but you have done a great job on the best aircraft in a sim i have ever flown or been on a developement team for. Ok previously not an issue on 10.45 ever however since upgrading to 10.5 on steam I am getting kicked out frequently on FMC inputs normally associated with a SID or STAR and getting these feedback screens. Frequently I have also noticed the line select key may also be disabled after the dump screen comes up. I have attached three whch i got today while going from NZCH Christchurch to Queenstown NZQN. Queenstown has no approaches in the DB and on selection of runway 05 LSK 1R it dumped every time indicating an error one of the screens attached. I also got one on short final with the autoplit off, flight directors off and AT off. Im running an El Capitan IMac I7 10-11-6 OS. I noticed someone else on El Capitan was having a similar thing as well on runway selection at an airport without approaches. I did a trial on loading a plan into a larger airport and it loaded ok but i have had these dump screens occasionally at random times. Once again great work and more i can do to help for information just ask. Thanks Darren

    If you want heading up buy an Airbus! oh you also get a free tray table, fighterstick and an ergonomically designed Flightdeck! Lol.. You rapidly get used to either in the real world so not a major issue except during the transition.

    Use if bleed air is a far greater load generator on an engine or APU that electrical supply. same with ground power units which even new big good ones are time limited for starting engines with APU bleed faults.

    Home flight simulators over estimate the effectiveness of speed brakes in general. 3 X Alitude plus 10 for a descent profile works for almost all narrow body jets. aim to be at 11000' and 250 at 40nm to go. at 30nm 8000 at 20nm 5000 and 10nm 3000' and 210kts. works in the real world...
