Updated September 2023, Version 1.5 Hi everyone. While it seems to be the economically "smart" thing to do to NOT talk about the shortcomings of your product (and then sometimes to just ignore the complaints after you cash in the money), we are trying to run things a bit differently here at IXEG. I would therefore like to share a list of things that will NOT be in version 1.5, and also give a little background of why, and wether we are planning to add it later. I will try to make this list as encompassing as possible, if I forget something, please don´t sue me! I will add/remove from this list as warranted. Aircraft visual 3D model Ancilliary vehicles (catering, fuel truck, loading crew) - this is now accomplished by using the XP11 native ground vehicles, the docking locations for those are correctly added in planemaker. Cockpit keypad entry mechanism Omitted due to security reasons. Deployable emergency slides.Omitted due to time constraints, planning to add later. Deploying oxygen masks. Omitted due to time constraints, planning to add later. Sound effects/visual model for passengers and their (assumed) behaviour. Too complex a simulation off it´s own, most likely won´t be added for fear of having something repetitive or cheesy. Cabin crew voice interaction. You can communicate via menues that are invoked by pressing the cabin call button, though. FMS Pilot entered HOLDS. While we have database-inherent holds (like at the end of a missed approach), we won´t feature the HOLD page where you could enter all sorts of HOLDS. Omitted due to time constraints, definitely planning to add later. RTA feature. Omitted due to time constraints, planning to add later, but low priority. OFFSET feature. Omitted due to time constraints,planning to add later, but low priority. ABEAM points (after shortcutting route, for example). Omitted due to time constraints, definitely planning to add later. You CAN enter stuff in the FIX page, and "find" a PBD point that way (enter a fix, enter a radial and a distance to see the green radial and distance-circle) Entering descent wind forecast (normal wind entry on PERF INIT page possible). Display of "RTE DATA" on EHSI/map, i.e. showing ETA and restrictions next to waypoint. You can see that on the LEGS page, for now. Omitted due to time constraints, definitely planning to add later. Automatic entry of performance data (weight, etc.). We might include that for the "ready to fly" scenario, not decided yet. For now it must be entered manually, if FMS performance assistance is desired (not mandatory). Fully working PROGRESS page - we started to code it, but much of the things shown are placeholders. We expect this to be one of the first things we will add soon after release. Full VNAV functionality for descents with speed and/or altitude restrictions. The FMS gets confused by changing the cruising altitude while enroute and multiple descent restrictions and restrictions of a certain type. Basic unrestricted descents work, though. GUI Dedicated flight-planning software. We feel that this is not necessarily within the scope of our add-on. We model the plane like you get it after delivery from Seattle (+ free lifetime fuel!). There are plenty of flight-planning solutions out there, we include a basic "ballpark" fuel calculator. Complex and visually appealing load+trim software. We feel that clicking empty seats to fill them and pulling sliders to load cargo is fun for a few times - but really all you get is a weight and a center of gravity. And you might just as well set those directly in the gui. We have simple sliders and click-buttons for that (or you can use the default X-Plane menus). No way to output any CDU, EADI or EHSI onto an external device like iPad or such. Would like to have that (especially for cockpit builders), though. Exception: it is possible to use AirFMC, available at the Apple App Store. No pop-out 2D displays of flight instruments/CDU/EFIS to make reading or entering stuff easier, no hiding of yoke to not obscure view. We feel that the ergonomics (or lack of) an airliner cockpit is an important part of the experience, so we don´t want to "help" too much. We have "preview pop-ups" of the EHSI when making changes on the EFIS control panel to help you see if you have the right setup. Other systems Wxr radar returns can only be displayed on the left EHSI/map. Omitted due to time constraints, definitely planning to add later. Terrain colour display can only be shown on the left EHSI(map. Omitted due to time constraints, definitely planning to add later. Operating circuit breaker (CB). We decided that most CBs will never be moved in normal operation. We will add moveable CBs with the yellow collar later (to be used in abnormal situations), and possibly some others as well (standby altimeter vibrator!). Automatic startup/shutdown "macros". Won´t add that. This plane is about realistic operation (it´s not hard!). If not desired, just select "ready to fly" or "turnaround-state". IRS using "false" position. It is not possible to deliberately enter a "false" position and have the IRS align to that. The entry will be rejected unless reasonably close to the real position. In the real plane the GPS would also "correct" your wrong entry (if close enough) or warn you. A position far from the old "shutdown" position would be rejected once. A wrong latitude would be detected during the alignment process...It would be a lot of coding effort to maintain a "wrong" position with the corresponding effects (map-shift, etc.) A dedicated way to fly the same plane together in multiplayer. Note that SmartCopilot has made great progress in making our plane flyable with a crew of 2, and while not perfect yet, it is working very well, going by user reports: http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/9714-smartcopilot-first-attempt/?page=1 Volume control for radios/navaid ident checking. We have implemented a better volume (more loud), but it can not be adjusted yet. We are trying to be as upfront about the shortcomings of our model as possible. I have myself bought many aircraft for flight-simulations boasting great things, only to be disappointed. I want to avoid that for everyone, so if you find a "must have" feature on this list, I encourage you to hold off on purchase until we added your feature in a later patch. I could make a feature list of things we have that would take you hours to read, but instead you can assume that our plane can do everything that the real one does, except for the things noted above. Cheers, Jan

Hi, I've been using MATRIC for about 3 months now and it's very, very interesting. I have developed a deck for x-plane and would like to know if anyone knows how to develop an API for X-Plane so that it can communicate with Matric. Should I use X-Plane SDK or XPuipc or only LUA, JSON or C#??? I'm a financial developer but really don't know anything about API integration with X-Plane. I would like to be able to obtain information on the different statuses of X-Plane (DataRef sim/xxxxxxx) in order to be able to pass this information to MATRIC. I would like some help to guide me through this process. Where should I start? 2022-03-06_191343.pdf

Hi there, I want to fly my N3765 Skyteam Delta 738 on vatsim, but how do I make sure other pilots see me as a Skyteam, and not a default Delta? I see other pilots fly custom liveries from time to time, for example the Star Wars United livery. How do I do this?

Happy week-end all, Logan Air fly to and from Sumburgh Airport (Scotland) in the Saab s340. I thought it would be a nice touch to mach up Orbx True Earth North and Orbx Sumburgh Airport with the LoganAir Saab s430 by Carenado. Let me know your thoughts. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=melw3HNRjvg

Hello IXEG Team, I did a fresh complete reinstall of your addon. Now with latest X-Plane 11.32 R2 i noticed 3 issues now. 1) Autopilot Settings (displays) revert back to digit 0, when i enter for example 10.000 feet. 2) beacon lights (exterior) wrong flashing 3)Flap Indicator not moving 4) Flaps not moving Are you aware of that or am I the only one who experience this strange behaviour? Thanks a lot. Kind regards, Tom

Hey I have flown the saab fpr couple days and today it stopped receiving ils frequency and showing only red loc text in the lower corners in the ehsi. I dont also get the deviation dots/diamond in the Eadi. I think my frequency is right since i got it from navigraph chart. I tried to recieve VOR and they seem to work. I use X-plane 11

Hello my name is Iker, I'm 18 and this is my youtube channel: https://goo.gl/WD1EHa Here you can find 2 videos of X-Plane every week and a livestream some weekends. I upload varied content in planes and destinations. I have 2500 hours of experience in the X-Plane which I put into practice modifying some airplane and uploading a tutorial. I fly in IVAO and also control, from time to time upload some video controlling in the tower of Bilbao. The main language of the channel is Spanish but sometimes I upload videos in English so that I can understand them all. I am about to reach 1000 subscribers and I would like to continue growing. I hope your support and that you like my channel. a cordial greeting Here you can see an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM9YwSCe90o&t=153s

High community I bought the Saab 340a. Installation without problems. When loading x-plane (using the SAAB) loading stops and x-plane crashes. Works with any other plane e.g. 737classic, crj200.... I attach the log file as well as the crash file - if anybody can read somethin out. Many thanks for helping Regards from Vienna Guenter Log.txt crash_report_08_21_2016_10_56_03.rpt

SkyMaxx Pro + RWC with the latest updates ... is still the best cloud and weather presentation addon for X-Plane and worth every brass penny! Thanks guys, for such a quality addon that gives me awesome skies and increased fps. I see lots of attempts to enhance X-Plane skies but none of them come close to the degree of technical professionalism, precision and artistry of SkyMaxx pro (and I do try those others on a separate X-Plane install just to see what's out there). Simply amazing. With the influx of people taking up X-Plane these days, I tell everyone I can; if you want awesome skies in X-Plane then it's SkyMaxx Pro ... period. Nothing else compares.

Hi all, Just wanted to say thank you for all the comments on my promo vid for the IXEG 737 Classic. I had a blast making it :-)

Greetings pilots! I'm here to introduce you to a project that I am working with my teammates, a launch of "yet another virtual airline", called Finnaviation-an airline with roots from the original Finnish carrier, absorbed into Finnair. We've incorporated several features that enhance the way you fly, and these features require a lot of explaining, but to keep this short: This is a Virtual Airline that follows a different route than most other establishments, because we focus on other areas besides the typical "custom system, new website" gimmick thrown at the user upon clicking at the VA's website link. Instead, we treat Finnaviation as a product, which means we build and develop our airline centric to the needs and wants of pilots. Focusing on developing a system that allows pilots to experience the most out of a flight sim is what we're always aiming for. A pilot-centric Virtual-Airline System, also means a personalised experience-which is what we offer unlike your typical VA support. So everything from your personal handbook, to our method of supporting the issues pilots are experiencing in Finnaviation is handled more face to face, rather than solely relying on support tickets. In addition to personalised experience and a developed system, we are going to introduce 3D modelled cabins at a later stage after the launch of Finnaviation, pilots are able to fly their aircraft with our designed cabins, so add-on aircraft with modelled aircraft interiors (that are part of our fleet) would have a Finnaviation designed cabin, pilots can explore the interior in-sim. With 3d cabin modelling for pilots to experience, we would seek to introduce a custom programmed ACARS app that is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux used in X-Plane and FSX. And lastly, training, we love to provide useful material to our pilots so they could learn to fly their favourite aircraft properly, so our training documents are appropriated versions of real-world documents, the documents are designed to support several aircraft add-ons from both the X-Plane and MSFS platform. These are just some of the features from a list that includes so much more. If you're interested to fly with in (when we've launched), you may pre-register now for your early access to your personal handbook: <Click here for pre-registration form> Lastly, I apologise for any grammatical or spelling mistakes in this post, English is not my first language. Kind Regards,

Hi there, I'm Claudio from SimCoders.com. We just released the new Reality Expansion Pack v2.0 for X-Plane. It's an A2A-Like software for the C210 by Carenado. The new version adds more complex engine dynamics, more damages (such as engine's oversquare operations and failures), the interactive walkaround, the towing and other stuff that you may like. Here's a video of the walkaround and the towing: You can find more informations at http://www.simcoders...nado-cessna-210 We're going to release the same thing for the F33A Bonanza. Hope you like it!
