  1. Just use a projector to throw the outside view on a bed sheet and keep it moving with a ventilator. Voila wingflex deluxe. Also FuselageFlex™ and SceneryFlex™ for free!!!!
  2. I know, JK. I've flown this two times on Pilotedge. Once for the rating (which was quite challenging), and once just for fun. It all comes down to being quick on the radios, the flying part is actually not that hard when you do the first short "legs" at moderate speeds. No one (other than ATC) says that you HAVE to fly 250 knots under 10,000 feet, you just can.
  3. And to make it a bit more challenging, you should fly this just with the RMIs Here is a nice tutorial (watch it 2-3 times, then it becomes quite easily to understand):
  4. IDK. I have the FSL A320, but never really got around to fly it more than two or three times, and I don't care too much about sounds. Looking forward to the FF A320. Luckily, I'm color blind, so all the cockpit color discussions don't bother me in the slightest.
  5. They don't need it, they just want it. People (we) don't need complex scenery addons or study level aircraft, because we don't even remotely make use of all the features. But it adds to the immersion, and that's of course a very big aspect in flight simming.
  6. PROG pages are still WIP and not really usable/useful at the moment.
  7. This can happen in any aircraft if you have X-Plane's random failures enabled. If it was/is the case, then you can also fix it "on the fly" by clicking on "fix all systems" (or similar) in the failures menu.
  8. You could do the famous United flight 154 a.k.a. the "Island Hopper". If you read the Airways magazine, there is a very nice article on it in the current issue. United flies it with a 738, but anyway... the route goes HNL-MAJ-KWA-KSA-PNI-TKK-GUM. http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/12/28/united-island-hopper-alaska-milk-run/
  9. Although you could use X-Plane's combined aileron & rudder control (which is automatically applied when yuo don't have an axis assigned to yaw), i would just keep on using the 16000M side by side with the Warthog, in case you didn't already sell it or gave it away. You can use the twist or roll axis of the 16000M for yaw and assign pitch and roll to the Warthog. You would also gain some additional buttons to assign when using both sticks together. Best thing of course would be to get some rudder pedals.
  10. You can get the latest version 2.0.4.8 here (registration required): https://german-xflight.de/forum/index.php?resources/xpuipc.4/ IDK if there is a place where one can download the latest builds without needing to register.
  11. Looks great!

    Xplane 11?

    You can also see this from another angle: people find your addons so great, that they simply can't wait to get their hands on an update for XP11 and tend to run hot in the process.
  13. Hi IXEG team, I would love to have the datarefs for the external lights (landing lights, strobes, taxi lights, nav, beacon) accessible as custom commands in the X-Plane interface, like you already did with many of them (MCP controls etc.). Perhaps you could sneak that in one of the next updates? I know that I could map these DRs to buttons using XJoyMap or FlyWithLua, but I don't want to install those plugins just for a handful of commands in one plane, and I like to have as few X-Plane Plugins as possible to avoid issues. Thank you!
  14. Took the IXEG 1.2 for a short ride from Reno/Tahoe Intl. to Fresno today.
  15. You could also try right-clicking on the installer and select "run as administrator". This can help despite the fact that you are already logged in as an admin.
  16. So the 747-400 it is. Great. Any updates? Will it have wingflex?
  17. The new vFlyteAir Piper PA30 near KPSP.
  18. The unable crz alt warning usually doesn't mean that the plane isn't technically able to reach that altitude with the current W&B, CI etc., but that the FMC finds the route too short to make it to that altitude. If you are sure that you planned everything correctly, you can just ignore that message.
  19. Thank you very much LES and XA! Can't wait to take her for a ride!
  20. I fly the 733 in 10.51 without any version-related issues.
  21. You can always enter an assumed STAR and change it if you get a different approach. Usually, there aren't too many to choose from given your route and the active runway, which won't change too frequently on shorter flights. But it also depends on the country you fly in. In the US, SIDs and STARs are filed with the flight plan afaik.
  22. Well, the final version of X-Plane 11 will probably be something like 11.5X in four or-so years. Many changes to the general sim, the flight model etc. till then (just like it was from 10.00 to 10.52), and probably many additional patches and updates needed which will all take their time. So no need to get exited about an update for 10.00, many more are here to come.
  23. EDIT: Sorry, double post
  24. Yes, they will cover more (6,784) airports after the switch. However, Argentina as well as NZ are already covered. Here is a list of all AG and NZ airports within the current package:
