IXEG

[waltari 19]

WOW!! The sounds are great, the whole package looks fantastic. I don't care what it costs I'll buy it. I just hope I get it before it breaks servers on release day, I'd say this will be the best selling XP aircraft ever.

Let me just pick up my jaw and wipe the drool from the keyboard! Stunning, just stunning! Everyday day that goes by is a day closer to this beauty being released

I noticed The FMC is looking very functional,I believe this is one of IXEG's last hurdles.

I felt a need to smoke a cigarette and raid the fridge after watching that, and I quit smoking 4 years ago!

This plane will change the face of X-Plane imo.  I can't wait for the release (actually I can I just don't want to)!  Maybe IXEG can tackle the weather engine next...please?

****UPDATE**** BETA TESTING HAS BEGUN****

From Janov....

"Hi everyone,

 

work continues behind the scenes. It is a not too well kept secret that internal beta-testing has begun with a small, dedicated and very knowledgable team.

 

Just two days ago we put out a new beta, and just as proof of us making headway, here is the changelog:

 

Here's what's changed in Beta 2.1:

Fixes:

• Incompatibilities with Carenado aircraft
• Calibrated several sounds
• Several problems with cabin control in auto/standby mode
• APU CTD bug
• Light logic for fuel low-pressure lights
• Several miscellaneous bugs related to auto-flight system
• Flight model tweaks to improve handling in ground effect
• Improved effects for rain/snow on windscreen
• Takeoff config warning behavior
• Yaw damper engagement/warning logic
• Several fixes/improvements related to GUI
• Engine start sequence (speed, egt, etc.)
• Rudder deflection angles with trim
• Dozens of small micro fixes
• Range of weather radar
• Speed-brake servo behavior for RTO and auto-deploy/auto-stow

What's New:

• Engine 3D fans/spinner and new sounds
• Preference checkbox for "vintage" engine steam gauges
• Preference option for winglets
• Fly-out menus along left side. Move mouse cursor to left edge for main menu fly-out. Move mouse to lower left corner for views menu fly-out
• Several areas in the cockpit improved
• Emergency cockpit lighting
• Extensive work on FMS route LEGS page entering/editing
  • Auto-disco added between takeoff and landing procedures
  • LEGS page point deletion/disco
  • LEGS page shortcutting added
  • LEGS page direct TO added  (WIP, in flight routing not calibrated)
  • LEGS page manual waypoint entry for navAids
  • VNAV for climb phase added (perf numbers not fully calibrated)
  • LEGS page manual override for ALT/SPEEDS (WIP, not calibrated)
  • Independent DUAL CDU entry on several pages (WIP)
• APU inlet door animation
• Visual nicks, scratches and reflections on windscreen
• Mini EHSI preview window whenever EHSI controls are manipulated
• Quick Ref Card. Click the little slot above the MCP to take out and put back
   

Thanks for participating in our beta program to help create a better product!"

So cant wait to get my hands on this plane! Nice to see its in Beta an being updated

[deetee 164]

The plane will get many hours of devotion when it arrives on my PC.  :wub:

Yeah mine too, may even be a total switch to XPL from p3d/fsx if its as good as it looks

One product has the power to do that. Maybe LR should be paying them to get it finished quicker ;-)

 

With this and PMDG also on board, I expect X-Plane will be getting lots of new users when they are finally released.

[deetee 164]

Yup, with the view distance improved and the B733 out I would expect a modest influx. Once Philipp has had a go at fixing ATC we may see some more. If LR can get seasons and AI fixed in v11 the floodgates should open.

[alulekk 3]

Need better weather depiction (more layers). Hope it's a huge priority.
