Considering where we have been in hoping to see this aircraft get develop, I am considering getting it not only because I would like to have the aircraft but to support the developer if nothing else.

Here is the reason from their discord: SASL Service Outage Notice Due to the current PHP security situation, we are temporarily suspending all SASL services. This includes aircraft activations, developer protection services, the SASL admin panel, and our support ticket system. Important: Products that are already activated will continue to work normally during this outage. We are actively working to resolve the situation and will restore all services as soon as it is safe to do so. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. FlightFactor Team <:FF:745949491148095558> @everyone Here is the update: SASL Services Restored We are pleased to announce that all SASL services are back online, including aircraft activations, developer protection services, and the SASL admin panel. Please note: Our support ticket system remains temporarily unavailable. We will publish a separate announcement as soon as it is back online. Thank you for bearing with us while we worked to restore these services. FlightFactor Team <:FF:745949491148095558> @everyone You should be able to downloaded it.

That might be true but there are other possibility like Just Flight announcements of their version A300B4 buses that will eat into inibuilds lead in that area that might force them to get back to their roots of what made them who they are.

Absolutely!!!! I will say this, that their X-plane 11 was the best from A300 up the A310 and Beluga. The effort put into the development of those aircraft along with introducing the way loading affecting the take off (especially in the Beluga) and painstaking detail that show in loading that on the FF777 freighter comes close, the introduction of the EFB flight plan loading with fully functional ACARS and CPDLC with the print out, the care you must give in following procedure made those aircraft very attractive. Now those things are everywhere that we taken for granted. They really demonstrated a lot of passion and pride at the time that you see in their demo's and tutorials that I would like to see return in a new X plane aircraft from inibuilds.

Yes I saw and it is beg news indeed. They have been busy rolling to more goodies for X plane.

Wow I didn't see that statement but what a great turn around. They finally are taken X plane and its marketplace seriously by seeing the writing on the wall. I guess you don't have to have a majority in the market place to keep the 3D development focus. You just have to have enough people interested in your sim and there are plenty who are interested in X plane.

Here is the video on how to install and use the MTK.

If anyone is looking for the very scenic Island of Mykonos, here it is. https://fselite.net/content/skydom-releases-mykonos-airport-and-surrounding-island-scenery-for-xp12/ You can pick this up at the Xplane.org store or Simmarket.

Well it appears he is being too speculative in his review vs looking at the actual presentation as well as the interview with Ben at the FSExpo. I thought I had miss something when they posted Stephen review link on the org.

I saw this on the org, a nice overview of the X plane 12 presentation was given by Stephen of "Xplane review". It really goes into depth over the graphic portion who some on here are wondering what's next. He explains it all in this link below. https://xplanereviews.com/forums/topic/19018-x-plane-12-saint-paul-minnesota-flightsim-expo-2026/

No one from LR has mention of an XP13. I far as we seen through the roadmaps that includes scenery improvements are happening during the XP 12 run.

I do my best to support the developers as much as I can. But I also find it important to join their discord as well. It is the best place where you can make your voice heard on the things you may want. The feature request I think is very value in letting them know through voting for the feature that were requested as well as letting them know the platform/OS you are interest in seeing support.
