November 19, 201312 yr http://www.ixeg.net/blog/item/32-project-status Reading through some of their notes I can only compare the level of sophistication of this add-on to the Aerowinx-type of simulator....

November 19, 201312 yr Whow, X-Plane 10 is getting fatter !!! And my wallet is getting a lot thinner! Seriously, I've had XPX now for about a month. So far, I've bought:A320 NEO, FF 777, FF 757 (plus liveries), S-92, Saab 340, UrbanMAXX. Now we've got this 737, SkyMAXX and a whole bunch of other amazing looking add-ons coming! I've got my eye on that FlyJSim 727 now too, tempting! I see it as an investment though, I want there to be more great add-ons so I'll support the developers maybe one day I might be one myself. I'm really happy to see XP doing so great now, it's getting really popular now I think. And development of the sim and add-ons future only looks brighter Jesse Casserly ✌🏼️ https://www.youtube.com/user/JesseCasserly757 💻 i7-10750H 2.6 GHz / 5.0 GHz, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD, RTX 2080 Super Saitek X-56 HOTAS
November 19, 201312 yr Author I actually re-installed FSX and even got the DX10 Fixer because my system will certainly not be able to run p3d v2 properly, and I was missing the PMDGs and Aerosoft's AXE, mostly for technical comparison with the NEO A320. I am also in the beta of a great upcoming product for FSX / P3D which I would really loev to have in X-Plane's land ( not yet, but one day, for sure, we will have such an add-on...) With their upcoming v2, the NEO will get even better. Above all flying an airliner in X-Plane 10 has a different feel from FSX - which I find very special! The NEO is my preferred airliner so far in X-Plane 10, but I didn't try the 757, so...

November 19, 201312 yr Author What, again??? - Yep! :blush: It's tuesday!!! Now, really, I needed a comparison with then NEO A320. Someone had asked for a more detailled comparison between how the two implement the Norma Law, based on what is in the Airbus FCTMs... I no longer recalled each and every detail of the Aerosoft model, and a new version had been released with a lot of bug corrections and additional features. Also, I still miss a PMDG-like 777 and NGX :-) As for the rest, I look forward for what we all will find in 10.30, and I am sure LR is really in the right way!!!!!

November 19, 201312 yr Yep! :blush: It's tuesday!!! Yeah, I know. And Wednesdays are reserved for P3D - Jan Betlach
November 19, 201312 yr I actually re-installed FSX ... I took a very special action to protect myself from doing that again, lol. Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
November 19, 201312 yr I actually re-installed FSX I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! Was only a matter of time :lol: With their upcoming v2, the NEO will get even better. Above all flying an airliner in X-Plane 10 has a different feel from FSX - which I find very special! The NEO is my preferred airliner so far in X-Plane 10, but I didn't try the 757, so... I actually just completed a Euro flight with the A320 NEO (LIRF-EPWA), decided to bring my XPX installation out of 'stasis'. Have to say that right now I think that at v1.5 the A320 NEO is the best airliner available for X-Plane, haven't tried the 757 either but will hold off on that one for now. Also, I still miss a PMDG-like 777 and NGX :-) Yeah still find the PMDG 777 to be the best around even though the FF was a very good effort. Michael R
November 19, 201312 yr Hello guys, we are really happy with the progress. We have a preview coming up, broken into 4 videos showing cold and dark to 7000', without using the FMS for enroute navigation.....perhaps 45 mins of video, more or less. The FMS "wrap up" is the last thing we will do so that is not covered in these preview videos. Most every other system and switch works to perfection. Our goal with this aircraft was simply to build the most accurate and immersive aircraft we could simply because we like it that way and this is what we want to "fly" in sim. The natural order of progress is to keep adding new detail to projects to get closer to "as real as it gets" and accurate systems have been done, but the visual and aural feedback for these systems have not been done "as real as it gets" in our opinion.....very close yes, but still room for improvement. For example, annunciators lights "fade on" and "fade off" as their filaments heat and cool....they do not come on instantly and your eye and brain knows it. Needles on indicators have mass and exhibit a movement behavior that is distinct...when its not done right, it looks "not real". Accurate systems goes without saying, but we wanted to take it to the next step and really make you feel like you are in an alive cockpit. Our biggest frustration is that this project, being our first effort, means we have had to sink a lot of time into infrastructure code....a sound engine, EFIS drawing engine, FMS, electrical and hydraulic frameworks, etc. This takes time away from applying the code to more features. We are fast approaching the time frame where our wives and families are starting to squirm and we will have to get this thing out soon. That being said, I can already tell you that any features we do not have we are more than fully aware of and will work those "fun extras" in just as soon as we can placate our families. At the very least, you will sit in this cockpit and fly this thing using the same interaction / procedures that captains use to fly the real thing. You can see this in the upcoming preview videos in the next day or two. Oh and one final thing....the switches on the overhead are currently "reversed" because that is the way Lufthansa has their 737 classics, BUT that will not be the layout as shipped. We will ship with the overhead switches "Boeing normal" Tom Kyler IXEG
November 19, 201312 yr Just amazing news... This addon will bring X-Plane to a whole new level, I'm sure of that. Can't wait for the video. Alexis Mefano
November 19, 201312 yr We are fast approaching the time frame where our wives and families are starting to squirm and we will have to get this thing out soon. Exactly Tom. Release that miracle so that OUR wives can start to squirm! - Jan Betlach

November 19, 201312 yr Ok..the first of 4 videos is up. We're going to publish the videos one per day. Uploading / processing takes quite a while and its just easy this way. Tom Kyler IXEG
November 19, 201312 yr Wow, I don't usually watch these preview videos all the way through but this one held my attention. I have some familiarity with the classic 737 cockpit as my job at US Airways requires that I be brakeride qualified to move aircraft from the remote areas to the gate. This brings back a lot of memories as we now only operate Airbus aircraft out of DFW. I'm really looking forward to this release.
