IXEG

[benrussell 20]

Just compare the FlyJSim to FF in that regard and it is a real day and night.

 

The reason they didn't offer it initally afaik, is that gizmo supplies the functionality. Since this plane is so long in development, they are still developing on an older version of GIZMO that does not have this functionallity. And so close before launch, they do not want to update that as it might break more things than it does fix and requires extra testing. 

 

They said that they are very happy with the way it currently works, and everybody that is using it sofar has no issues. However they are monitoring the forums after release, and if it turns out to be a problem for alot of people they will add it.

 

Please refrain from spreading false information.

 

Adding scroll wheel support for the cockpit requires OBJ8 and texturing modifications.

 

The Gizmo functionality required to tie-in to the scroll wheel has been available for many many years.

Probably before IXEG even started their project.

 

Thanks.

This from Morten one of IXEG Team members from XPilot forums

"Heads up,

As you have noticed we are a bit on overtime from our last estimates.  Main reason was we had to port our code to the latest Gizmo version and finish the FMC. Thanks to great help from Ben R the switch went fast and was successful.  The FMC is looking good now, everyone on the team are testflying it chasing bugs and Tom is working hard on finishing the final bits and pieces, increasing stability and functionality every day.  We have set a target internal release date not too far ahead which we hope will materialize this time "

 

Getting Closer!!

Cool!

The true hope and changer for XP10, IMO... Well, and an upcoming Citation too, I believe...

Why buy IXEG, the upcoming x737 should be as good. I rather donate to the x737 v5.

[jcomm 5,951]

Cyber, I never really enjoyed that much the x737, but since I no longer use X-Plane at all, I can't say for sure because I didn't try their latest versions, but, for a start, it's also a different model ( series 800 and 900 ) that x737 models ?

I am a bit confused by this comment, as I follow both projects and they don't seem to be even close (as far as you can judge unreleased products). 

Not to mention IXEG is working on 733 classic, while x737 is the NG version.

Why are you confused?  It's his opinion and you have yours.

 

I do agree with you and am definitely going to purchase the IXEG.

This is hard to beat and no I won't bother to boot Windows just for the ixed.

Because "why buy A if you can have B" would imply that A and B are on comparable level. They are not and it's not even matter of an opinion. 

But then I remembered that Mike is the guy who "can't be bother to boot plebian windows for this" every 2 posts, so I kind of came to understanding 

No hard feelings of course!

Wouldn't it be a bit Smarter...and more than a bit polite to make a separate thread for this?  

[Pugilist2 880]

 

They are not and it's not even matter of an opinion. 

Yes, that is still your opinion. :wink:
