IXEG 737

[mjrhealth 733]

Being waiting on this for XP12. If its as good as its predecessor will be good. Last plane purchase got enough unless some one does a T45. Due to release friday.

This is some rumor that they are also working on a B717 that caught my attention in addition to the 737 conversion.

Yeah the 717 is IXEG's next project but AIUI they have plans to do some enhancements for the 737 first and they aren't a quick team anyway so I suspect that's a long way off unfortunately.

Yeah

They do take some time but for one, I glad they are doing it anyway. 😃

I have some job to do this weekend so bad timing for me.

But not super excited as they not yet get the HOLD done then.....

That was one of the best addons I have ever used even though it didn't have working vnav.  They need to work on their timing a bit though, this update is about 2 years past their planned release.

I'd like to clarify that our update is actually in line with our planned timeline. The announcement for this update was made in April of this year. Furthermore, X-Plane 12, which our update aligns with, wasn't even released two years ago. There's always been a lot of transparency around this product since day one. As each update was released, the list of what not to expect in the product was continually updated on the forums. No minced words about it! We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Xp12 has had many changes, wasnt as simple as going from 10 to 11, hence many developers had to start from scratch. Its not as simple as you would like it to be.

It had a working VNAV. Just not perfect and i think they have improved it for the version being released tomorrow.

Over the past 9 months, our focus has been on ensuring that the IXEG 737 functions smoothly with X-Plane 12. This has led to the addition of animated doors, a revamped GUI, a detailed 3D cabin, some system tweaks, enhanced XP 12 lighting, and the integration of X-Plane 12's rain effects.

The aircraft has indeed been equipped with VNAV functionality for quite some time. Under numerous scenarios, it performs seamlessly. However, in certain situations—primarily when there are short distances between waypoints accompanied by significant altitude variations and constraints—the VNAV might exhibit inconsistencies. This is the primary area we acknowledge needs refinement, and it's likely the reason why some users feel the VNAV is not fully functional or reliable.

For those facing challenges with VNAV, especially in these specific situations, the LVL CHG mode remains a reliable alternative. Our team is committed to continuous improvement, and we appreciate your patience as we work towards refining the VNAV and other features.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

There is another ex 737 pilot, i noticed on another forum may be providing input on vnav. Mind you, i think many people  actually dont know how to use it properly. Like mentioned above.

I must admit Q8 pilots review never disappoint, I doubt he ever reads release notes. just loads than complains. Considering what He does you would think he would at least ask the questions before he does reviews. Mind you it seems to be his standard. Just about everything he complains about in the beginning was mentioned in notes.
