I'd really rather we stop with the Boeing v. Airbus thing. It's not even almost relevant to the thread. As much as I want to get involved, it's not relevant.

1. The, "You can't comment on it if you haven't done it," attitude really needs to go away. People can tell whether something is good or bad even if they aren't an expert. 2. As much as I'd love to smash Airbus to bits, I don't want to do that in this forum. It'd be wasting space on the IXEG forum, and I don't want to do that. 3. That's not really relevant to this thread...

B1900D, somewhere in Canada (I think). Went to make some pasta, came back and the plane was in a lake.

There really aren't any good Airbus addons on the market. I doubt we'll be seeing one from IXEG, though, and I'm happy with that. I'm not a fan of Airbus unless it's an A300 or an A310.

Yeah, sorry about that. I guess my eyes just glanced over the word, "Support."

DISREGARD

And they actually developed it to troll us more. They're just not going to share it with us.

There is on his site (links in his signature). If I had any money, I would

As long as you don't accidentally download two cycles in a row like I did, the four a year should be fine (it's a lot cheaper, too). Just do it every 3 months and it'll keep you up to date enough. VFR charts update every 6 months, and I can never see any real differences (maybe 1 or 2 fixes moved/changed), so 3 months should be fine. With 3 month updates, you have to worry more about your flight planning software than your planes

I'd love TCAS, even if it's just a basic placeholder for now. During one of my lessons, a passenger (a former pilot) told me about an aircraft. If it had been a couple hundred feet higher and he hadn't told me about it, it would probably have been too late by the time I saw it. It was entirely my fault, but it makes me feel like TCAS is almost necessary in modern aircraft. I was actively looking for aircraft (I just didn't see it somehow), so if I had been looking at the TCAS I would have been able to spot it earlier and avoid any tiny chance of a collision. Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could slip in a very basic (even default) TCAS before release so we have something. -VETTE

Nice! Can barely wait for this plane - Rotate better watch out!

Woo hoo! Amazing news - I can barely wait for this great plane

Sorry - I wish I could help, but I barely know anything about generic instruments, much less how to make something as advanced as an airspeed indicator.

Great audio! I hope you guys manage to make it sound this good

Navigraph's 4 AIRAC cycles over the course of a year is a good deal. You can choose which four cycles, it's not very expensive, and you get mostly up-to-date nav data. Not much changes in a month.

So hyped to see more

Interesting, I didn't know they made changes to any systems for the -400, but that makes sense. Also, I don't really have a preference between the CLs, but I hope they do a -500 because it means I can fly farther.

And to answer this question SPECIFICALLY about the IXEG team and their 733, you'd need a few pages. Even if you have people who are extremely skilled at most of these things, you're not going to have an aircraft of as high quality as the 733 is. The team has someone who can do every single one of these, and can do them well. Crazy respect for these guys

I'm assuming (probably incorrectly) that the -400 wouldn't be TOO difficult (considering it's mostly the same, just with things moved). I'm guessing it'd be mostly modeling work that'd have to be done. However, for what I'd really love to see (mainly due to the increased range) is a -500, and I KNOW that would be difficult. Either way, I'm not going to get ahead of myself. I'd like to have a -300 first

I can't say for sure, but from what I've seen as I've followed this project, the IXEG 733 will likely be the best ever aircraft for X-Plane.

It went OK, but I should have done a belly landing. Instead of only being a survivable landing, it would actually have been a good landing. Oh well @mgeiss, that's a beautiful photo

And I'll have the money as soon as I pay this friendly IRS person

Not a big fan of the A332, but I LOVE those RR Trents. Beautiful engines! Had a bit of an emergency yesterday - gear didn't go down properly:

Ooh, that'd be a nice feature.

Didn't notice at first, but now that you mention it it's obvious. Nice addition! This plane looks great!
