Don't tempt me.

And of course, the specialized version... It put a smile on Cameron's face.

Still a work in progress. But just about done. Just to be clear, this is going to be added to the Saab.

Wait till you see the steaks and snags I'm going to make.

Not quite. Here's a very very small reason why the Saab is delayed. (Actually, I felt like a 5th wheel while coding is being done so I decided to make this.) Took about 4 hours to model.

We'll sure as hell try.

I know a good therapist.

Update on the Saab... Release is delayed. I'll post more details in the coming days. Trust me, it will be worth the wait.

Definitely a very admirable set up. Could you please post your exact systems specifications. OS CPU Video Card RAM Also, please check that you have all the latest drivers installed for all your hardware and again make sure you have the latest version of X Plane. NOT the beta. Make sure you untick the beta box of the X Plane updater. I've sold a very large number of Duchesses and no one else is having the problems you are describing. When you post your system specs, please also send an email to support@x-aviation.com and they'll also try to get it sorted out for you.

It appears you definitely changed the acf file in some way. You added a Garmin pop up and the cockpit.obj file has been corrupted in some way and is not visible. Please try deleting the entire folder and reinstall the aircraft and then let me know what happens. Nice set up, by the way.

I love the dancing feet when it goes all up in her face.

I've been wanting to get a video together for the last 2 weeks. I have enough of the Saab done to actually make a decent video but I have to make sure other stuff gets done as quickly as possible. Like you say, the volcano looms (but my wife will probably throw me in one, so I won't have to jump). As soon as I have some spare time, I will definitely put together a video and post it. I won't say when because I've been saying I'll do one every day for the last week and a half. But it will be very soon.

As soon as the Saab is done, I'm hitting the gym again. Even my daughter teases me about it.

A few of us devs (no names) have been having a running joke at who has gained the most pounds since starting add on development. I used to be a real gym junkie before starting this. Now I sit at my desk and do very little activity so it's obvious I've gained a few pounds. But THIS is ridiculous!

The "best" scenery in x plane? No night textures. misaligned runways and taxiways I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Lol, patience guys, patience. I'll throw up an update... We're at the point now where it can take up to a day to test and re code just 1 system. There are about 15 systems. Most are working but a few need a bit of refining and there have been a couple more added. The code has been made more efficient and condensed. Once the coding is done, that's it. Testing will take a few days, if that. Also, a new bit of info. A few days ago we had a small meeting about the difficulty of navigating using just VOR and NDB stations or following the numbers based on flight plans, speed and time. I did take the Saab for a bit of a trip about a week ago and I can tell you, it can be a challenge to fly. This isn't a "set it and forget it" aircraft. You have to monitor quite a few things on takeoff and cruise, especially navigating. So, in saying that, we'll probably be making 2 versions of the Saab. A Saab with 2 Garmin 430's and a Saab without any Garmins. So you can choose which one you would like to fly. There were a few 340A's with 2 Garmins on the center console back in the 80's and 90's Doing this will add literally no extra time since the Garmin has already been made and added to the UV map a lot earlier in the development. Not long guys.

Something about stealing the MU 2, PMDG aircraft, Captain Sim aircraft and aerosoft aircraft via torrents. Basically, he's saying "I'm a moron. Please re-enforce my belief!"

I didn't think people were even born this stupid. I'm monumentally amazed. How's that for chiming in?

Me too!

This is pretty much the home stretch. Everything else is 100% done. I want to minimize testing time by making sure most of it works properly. Testing will be for flight model and any smaller details I might have missed.

All the "necessary" coding is done but we're adding a few extra bits and pieces to the systems. By doing this, it will cut testing time down so we don't have to go back and re do stuff.

It will be issued along with the Sundowner update in the coming weeks.

45000 faces for just the fuselage without a wingbox is too much. Faces are quads. When it gets exported to X Plane, the quads get triangulated so you double that figure. Then you will have to double that again for the interior surface. So 180 000 tri's (polygons) for just the fuselage is far too much.

First off, thanks for the comments, gentlemen. We don't plan on adding anymore liveries to the initial package. We may add more in the coming weeks after the Saab is finished. We don't have a failures module for this aircraft. All failures are controlled by X Planes default failures. However, the way the EADI's and Radios work in the real aircraft are from 3 Avionics Buses. Left, Essential and Right. For this, Theo had to create plug ins using Gizmo. Basically, Left Bus powers up the Captains EADI, Right Bus powers up the Co Pilots EADI and Essential Bus powers the Radios. All 3 Bus switches are on the overhead.
