Development Team for X-Plane

1. Baber 8.25.09 / 8am

   Its correct that the development have not been paying attention to the XPjets fans nor have they been updating there forum with updates regularly.
   But all in all i have to admit that you people are doing an amazing job. I havent seen any aircraft till yet with that level of detail,quality and commitment.You people should get an award for that . I wish you all the luck.
   I am very interested in seeing a promo video

   Nice to hear something new from you guys. This level of detail is absolutely great. I can´t believe that it´s x-plane ;). Sadly aircraft development takes so much time but complaining won´t help.
   I wish you best luck on your projects and thanks to your work x-plane is what it is today ;).

   Let´s see who is faster… 5 years are left and I´ll sit in the real thing

   Looks fantastic. Some great work, i must ask though… Are your sounds going to be as good as the work you’ve done so far? I’d hate to see these excellent startup sequences and perfect reverse thrust be squandered by the boring default XP sounds.
4. Alex 8.25.09 / 6pm

   Yeah, Geoff Legg mastered some awesome sounds for us earlier in the year, with some discussion of adding some audible goodies through the systems plugin.

   That’s great, Alex. Keep up the excellent work! We’re eagerly waiting the release. Thanks for the update!

   What about the GE-90 115B engines ? You havent shown them yet..and also what about the RR trent 800 ?
7. Alex 8.28.09 / 6pm

   Trent 800 is here… http://www.xpjets.com/2008/10/29/one-down-two-to-go/
   Haven’t built the big GE yet. Thats coming before too long. But the three engines used on the 200, 200ER, and 300 are finished Definitely a step in the right direction.
8. Baber 8.28.09 / 10pm

   I cannot follow what you are saying..Here is the GE-90 that you people have built and you are saying that you havent built one yet. this is probably GE-90 90B engine. I am talking about the GE90-115B engines that are used to power 777-300ER..

   awaiting your reply

   thanks.

   perhaps my link to the GE90-90B engine got dissappeared in my above post ..anyways it is in the Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad topic..
10. Alex 8.29.09 / 7am

    The 115B is the “big GE”, wider fan diameter, larger nacelle, slightly restructured pylon, significantly more thrust obviously. Having said that, with the Pratt 4077, Trent 800, and the GE-90 94B done, we’re all set for engines used on the 200, 200ER, and 300. Once we get the 115B modeled, we’ll be set for the 300ER, 200LR, and 200LRF.

    Thanks a heap alex..Sorry for my misunderstanding..however I have 3 more questions
    1) will there be 4 different sound sets for the 4 engines then ?
    2) will the new body structure will have hydraulic suspension ?
    3) will the plane have integrated touch-down and wheel-ground contact sounds ?
12. Dhruv 9.1.09 / 10am

    1) Yes
    2) In what way? If you’re wondering about the gear struts compressing realistically, we have that modeled already.
    3) We will have custom sounds throughout.
13. Baber 9.1.09 / 7pm

    thanks..that answers my questions..is the release in sight ??

    thanks !
14. Baber 9.5.09 / 2pm

    When is this package getting released? X-Plane 10 is getting released in fall 2010 so i think you should better hurry…

    Thanks

    Baber,

    Not to sound standoffish, but continually asking the same question isn’t going to get you an answer any quicker. With the sheer complexity of the plugin, I’d say we’re probably another year out yet if not longer. Whatever version of X-Plane is current when we’re done will be the version for which we’ll target the release.
16. Baber 9.5.09 / 9pm

    It may seem strange to you but I have been visiting your web daily for new updates since this new 777 project started.Well thats another story and it was because i took great interest in the project.
    I thought that if X-Plane 10 gets releases before this project finishes then you people might abandon this project and start working on XP10 with whole new set of technicalities. Xpjets team is dear to me and didn’t wanted to disturb the peace.

    Thanks
