Yes. Generally, if you mention "IXEG" and "realistic" in one sentence, you can assume it states true.

Yup, I'm using Linux, I've these drivers in repository.

I'm now on 346.22. It's just perfect.

Horray! Another video! I like it. Back to the drag vs scroll discussion. When I launched X-Plane the first time I also thought that the drag isn't the most convenient solution. But after flying a couple of weeks I realized I got used to this even without noticing it. I use custom-built head track (with linuxtrack) and I have no difficulty in selecting heading, altitude, course or anything else. It's just way more usable. Image 180-degree turn. With scroll it's like you'd ride your mouse from your seat to the nearest duty-free shop. I fly mainly FlyJSim 732 and some Carenado's GA planes and turns like that are no problem, I do it in half a second. You just need to get used to it. Anyway, I'm glad IXEG developers are very much likely to make the 737 customizable.

I don't think so. X-Plane just doesn't work that way. And I think that dragging is not only way more convenient, but it's also more precise. I still remember days with FSX when I had to use mouse all over the cockpit like crazy.

Couldn't agree more

Nobody will run X-Plane on CentOS 6. X-Plane is built under Ubuntu 10.04 and that's the only distro you need to support. Shared libraries can be distributed along with the package or even built statically. A lot of X-Plane add-ons developers support Linux and I never had any problems, despite the fact that I have custom non-standard distro (Gentoo on ~amd64 with a lot of customizations). I just think that supporting two desktop platforms where X-Plane supports three means not using its whole potential.

But guys, X-Plane does a lot of things for you. Most of OpenGL code is the same for all platforms. I don't know what quirks are you talking about. I have some experience with coding for all three major desktop platforms and I never had problems with supporting Linux after I did MacOS part. The only thing is to compile the code - but gcc is the easiest compiler there, imo. I can help you with Linux if you want. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would gladly help you with Linux, too.

Thanks for the feedback, Janov. Your work is just outstanding. As far as sounds are concerned - I think you did outrageous job there. I love all the clicks when you change the heading on the A/P. But what I love the most are sounds of trim. This creates sssssooooooo much climate in the cockpit. Anyway - take your time. Your plane is worth waiting for.

Nope. No version for Linux. I won't support non-multiplatform add-ons for X-Plane. It's against X-Plane's philosophy.
