At the moment we have about 10 liveries. These are actually picked after our IXEG website visitor location statistics where most XP users live. So 70% of you should have a local livery. So if your local livery isn't on the list, make sure to visit the website often We might do a few more liveries pre-release, but it's not high priority. Liveries we make will be free! We also want to involve the community livery painters. There are many extremely tallented ones in the XP community, so we hope they will contribute in the old XP spirit that us old timers from XPFW remember. We will provide a paint kit - and maybe if practically possible - a basic 3D model so they get a head start before release, but we havn't really discussed that yet so don't quote me on it.

About the ground model, XP has a few "issues" with regard to friction. So we use a pluggin that controls the friction. Like the typical problem with nose-wheel skidding and screeching in tight turns no longer exists. Another typical scenario that doesn't work in default XP is single Engine takeoffs due to Vmcg problems. Asymmetric thrust combined with XP's friction issues makes the aircraft uncontrollable at high thrust on single engine. This is also taken care of. With regard to Xwind landing performance, there are many factors that come into play. To many to mention. To sum it up, with the correct landing technique you will have no problem doing 30-40 kt landings/takeoffs in this aircraft - like the real one. You will find it more stable and precise on the controls than what you are used to. (Important to have your hardware sensitivity and realism settings as we recommend) As for wing flex, we certainly wish to have that in at some point. The visual part is Tom's department, but I'll bug him about it For those that missed the link for the latest exterior shots; http://www.ixeg.net/gallery M

There is also a weight save of about 20 lbs removing them if I recall correct. They were actually removing them one day we were in the hangar, so I guess we had to as well

We'll start putting exterior shots on the site as soon as all the 3D details are in place.

The end is in sight, but we don't know exactly when. When we do we'll let you know! Anyway, there is LIGHT in the tunnel M

You guy's gonna love the EHSI....
