Ah, a guy who understands...many thanks Pat. :smile:

Just saw the last pics available of this beauty! :wub: I'm in love!!! Disregard the harsh comments on airdaily and keep up the excellence

 

Cheers

Pat, we do disregard the harshness over there. Probably a bunch of kids who should know better.

Actually the same image sets are in our 605 forums and our FB Page.

[Edit: Harsh comments on Airdailyx mostly down to use of RealNavData, just in case anyone thinks I have lost (more of) my marbles]

 

I can understand the concern regarding using a seperate data provider, since I am guessing most of the users will already be using Navigraph, so buying Realnavdata will mean that they are having to pay a lot if they want to keep their 605 and/or XLS up to date (I am of course assuming it comes with a proper cycle to start with), and at the same time pay their existing subscription to Navigraph for other aircraft.

 

The other issue for me would be the fact that Realnavdata doesn't seem to be supported at all in the likes of FSC or EFB, not sure if there are any planners that it works with?

 

That said I will be interested to try it and see how well it works, but I can imagine that there would be some resistance to it initially.

I really have no desire to rehash the RealNav debate.... all I'm going to state is that there is a freakin boatload of data in RealNav that isn't in Navigraph that is absolutely used in the PL-21.

 

The PL-21 was first released on a training system... which required accurate nav data... Navigraph isn't legal for training purposes.

 

There's valid reason to be using the RealNav data.

Not surprising. All of us tend to balk at anything new or may add costs. Time will tell if our track is the correct track but we need to move forward... :wink:

Ron,

 

Is there any recent news you might be able to share in regards to the development of this bird as we approach the end of the year/holiday seasons? Can't wait to add it to my hangar when it's ready.

We wish we could provide the answer you want but, alas it is still too early to say when... :wink:

as a person who can easily build you a PC, but could not program myself out of the kitchen,I have for a long time watched with admiration this add-on being developed on FSDev,I was amazed that Ozzman the guy who was originally developing this add on is a young man,I read ( FSDev page 18) that he had to stop work on the project due to working in the grocery store to save for his college education,and I had sadly thought that we might never see this aircraft completed,then to find that Eagle-soft were clever enough to pick it up and run with it was amazing,I feel this is going to be one bloody good add on, hopefully the best light jet available,and boy do we really need one,

We were fortunate enough to recruit Ozzy for our Team and are very grateful to have him on board as a full fledged Team Member. We agree, this project promises to be a next level project for all of us. :wink:

All I can say is that I hope that these aircraft use standard FSX (or FSUIPC) commands so that they work with hardware (e.g. set heading bug, altitude bug, turn on/off AP, etc.).  They look good.  I know the systems will be good.

Ah, well of course a release date is always welcome amongst consumers in the FS community! However, I was hoping for something a bit more surface level - what's being worked on at the moment? Touching up the textures? Preparing for Beta? Coding the FMS? And, if you cant divulge this information I completely understand.

We can't. Glad you understand.. :wink:

They are Greg.

There are limits to how much we can support default events... but custom events combined with SPAD.next and hardware gets around that issue easily.

is the PL 21 unit being developed with a view to being available as a stand alone unit?,for use with other aircraft,much like the flight1GTN series
