I can understand the disappointment and the need to vent it. I would probably feel the same way. We like to maintain an open channel, though. And of course, we value the customers who paid and acknowledge the fact that THEY didn´t do piracy or sharing. I am not saying there won´t be a patch for XP10, and I am not saying there will be no compatibility patch for XP11. But I can´t say, when. And nothing really has changed, in that regard. Jan

No, the project is certainly not dead - but I would say we are at a stage where the speed of progress is too variable to make any predictions. I (and most likely the majority of the team) agree on a good business opportunity lost with the current level of excitement for XP11, but it is what it is. Making money is not everything in life, everyone in the team has their own motivations and agendas and they all come into play in a joint endeavour like this one. We had some setback to motivation as well, especially with the rampant pirating and sharing that happened with our product, and it certainly made some of us wonder if it is really worth our time and hard work. I make less off of the 737 each month than what it costs me to take my wife out to the movies with a dinner at a nice restaurant afterwards - just to give you some perspective. So the business aspect is certainly not that important to me . Sorry that I don´t have any more uplifting news, Jan

Just a word of advice - the plane is not XP11 compatible, and won´t be for some time, probably. The patch to bring the FMS to the stability level from "ok" to "good" even in XP10 is still outstanding, and we can not forecast how long this will take, unfortunately. So if you buy now, be prepared to fly it in XP10 only and only at it´s current status, with the FMS being frail to operate. Cheers, Jan

Cameron is exactly right. Here is a little copy and paste from the product page: Developer: International X-Plane Engineering Group (IXEG) Download Size: 1.2GB Comaptibility: Mac and Windows. No Linux. No X-Plane 11. Cheers, Jan

And just my 2 cts: The IXEG 737 is NOT compatible with XP11. If you want an airplane that is compatible with XP11, buy an airplane that is compatible with XP11. The IXEG 737 is NOT compatible with XP11, and won´t be for some time. If you want an airplane that is compatible with XP11, do not buy the IXEG 737. Buy something else for now, there are quite a few very good options out there. Phew, I hope this makes it across the language (or IQ-) barrier ok. Sorry for being blunt. We do not know when we will get to making the 737 compatible, heck, we have a hard time even getting the much needed patch for XP10 out, for environmental and some othe reasons I can´t discuss here. For that I am personally sorry - for not getting compatibility with XP11, I am not sorry (yet, but I am starting to feel a bit of guilt). It is what it is (to quote a teammember of mine). Jan

Taxi, turnoff and landing lights don´t work on the IXEG in XP11.01b1. They worked until 11.00, I don´t know why they don´t anymore. If you want to help this get fixed, file a bug with Laminar Research. Cheers, Jan

Make sure you read the process correctly. Did you get a ticket number for your support request? If the answer is yes, then wait. (It normally takes up to three business days, but could take longer in some cases). If the answer is no, you did something wrong and nothing will happen. Jan

Not a built-in failure... possibly one in X-Plane (failure menu) or some clash with a hardware axis assigned to the gear lever? Cheers, Jan

Right - the generator switches don´t stay in an "on" position - they will default (spring loaded) to the middle position. To connect the generators you must toggle them to the ON position momentarily. I suggest to watch the tutorial videos on startup from cold+dark, they should clarify the correct procedure. Jan

Thanks for the information, Simon! We hope to get the patch to you soon, our lead developer in Australia was hit hard with recent flooding and is out for unknown time... Cheers, Jan

Hi, you are entering something that is causing the gizmo plugin to throw an error messge - a bug with the airplane. We are trying to fix these right now, and I expect a much better stability with the next update. For now, try to enter the routing in a different way - maybe look at the tutorial videos to give you an idea how they are usually entered, avoiding the crash. Important: Once you had a crash like that, you can NOT use the plane anymore, nothing will work. You need to reload the aircraft or at leas reboot gizmo (using the right.side popout menu). Sorry for the inconvenience, Jan PS: If you want to help us fix problems, make sure you write us exactly what you are trying to enter and in what sequence so we can verifiy and fix your bug.Thanks!

Hmm, I have no idea what happened to you, just some ideas: Maybe you crossed the wake of another (AI) aircraft? The wake turbulence is modeled in X-Plane. Is your joystick "spikey"? If it sends erroneous data to X-Plane, the yoke will move (even without disconnecting the autopilot, this only happens after passing a certain deflection threshhold). Do you have X-Plane´s internal "failures" engaged? They will disable control surfaces as part of their failure repertoire... Cheers, Jan

AND you can output the "icing" datarefs to your screen, if you want to really know if you pick up any ice or not. Jan

And it will stay the only solution until we make the XP11 compatibility patch. We can not add the needed information to the XP10 .acf file, it simply has no datafield for it. So I suggest trying again, maybe you are missing a simple step? Jan

Just you, I think.

No

Roger!

The crashes (where you see the console window pop up with a red error message) should be fixed mostly for XP10 and XP11 alike with 1.1. Jan

That update is very far ahead and I hope that we can finalize it shortly! It will also contain some "Ninja-Fixes" to some XP11 problems (like sliding aircraft) - but it will not make the aircraft fully compatible to XP11 yet. Cheers, Jan

XP11 is not released. It is the rc1 (release candidate), not final. And once it is final, you can expect it to take (a few) months until the port is complete. Cheers, Jan

You are wrong - XP11 rc1 is out - this is the "release candidate" and may be declared the final version - if no further bugs are found. It is not final yet. But yes, you can certainly hope for a usable version - it will take a while to port to XP11, though. Jan

I don´t think so.

Hmm, make sure there is not something else going on - maybe an axis assigned to the "tiller" by accident or some other preferences screw-up. I can taxi and fly the 737 in pb15 "mostly" just fine - and have to work really hard to recreate the "sliding". So it may be something else... Cheers, Jan

No ETA on the patch. The only way of avoiding this is not going slower than 5 kts - the plane should handle ok above that speed. Jan

I will add a fix to the upcoming patch 1.1 that should avoid this behaviour. We have our own ground-model in XP10 that overrides XP´s default model. Austin changed a lot of things in XP11 to make the aircraft behave better when stopped, and also when taxiing very slow. This messed with our override. I have changed our override so that it only kicks in when going faster than 3 kts - this should avoid those problems, so you can use the IXEG in XP11, even though it is not "officially supported" yet. Cheers, Jan
