With imminent showing up of major update v2 of our Epic Victory, there are a couple of things you should know, either for avoiding frustration or just for better using this fantastic plane. I will add more if anything comes to my mind, but don't hesitate sharing your own experience.

• MUST KNOW: the system for popping up the Skyviews has changed! Because there are plenty of click zones now, you cannot click anywhere for pop-ups to show or hide. The only hot spots for that are on or around the aircraft silhouette both on the HSI and the MAP (and you always have a least one displayed on each Skyview).
   
• FLY SLOW: yes it is a jet, yes it can fly fast. But you miss most of the pleasure if you don't explore low speed approaches, small airports and short runways. Forget about what you think a jet can do, we have tweaked the plane and the AP so you can fly at or below 90kts as if on rails, and even slower on manual approaches. VNLK, ENSD, TNCS and others are yours. Grab a nice scenery, turn on runways follow terrain and real weather, and you're good to go!
   
• BASIC HANDLING: don't make thing too complicated and follow some easy guidelines: take-off in RED (N1), climb in YELLOW (N1), cruise at 50 (Gal/h), descend at 250 (IAS) and approach in WHITE (speed tape). You will not break anything, climb quickly, cruise efficiently, descend fast, and will not blow your flaps or your gear when you need slow down quickly.
   
• CENTER IS LEFT: you have three Skyviews installed, but they are not all same. In fact left and center are same (pilot) and right is apart (copilot). While they look independent, and are in a certain way because you can adjust display layout and options individually, they are two different sources for the autopilot (the switch left of the STEC). Both sides share same settings for vertical modes (be carefull that even if AP altitude is same on both, result depends on barometer settings), but have independent horizontal modes: HSI source, bearing sources, AP heading, and OBS (CRS) can be set to different values on each side. Pretty handy when flying "old style" from VOR to VOR...

me being a fan of it, and knowing your great work, i will be getting it, but being an existing user tho;
mind me asking how much the "update fee for existing users" will be, approximately?

thank you for the answer, have a great time

The jet worked in XP10 and XP11, without a problem, in OS X Mojave (10.14).

However, in Catalina (10.15), it is impossible.  I get the mac.xpl approved, but the "mac.bin" file crashes X-Plane (both 10 and 11) as soon as I try to approve it, or open it...  I get a SASL crash.

My version of the jet is 2.33.  I have no problems with the Epic turbo-prop in XP 11.50 - both Skyview and G1000 versions work fine.

On that basis, there is probably a simple work-around  - or is there?  🙄

Any idea what happened?

some days ago I installed Epic Victory V2 in my XPlane11 (11.41). Some functions are not working as discribt:

I can not enter any waypoint. Also the "Nearest" screen stays empty.

Is ther any help, for example a video that showes how to handel the instuments?

Thx JohnBee

Installation:

• download latest updater from http://update.x-plane.org
• copy X-Updater-Client.jar file into your Epic Victory folder
• you need java installed on your system. For OS specific instructions, please refer to http://www.java.com

Update:

• double-click on the X-Updater-Client.jar
• check or set aircraft directory to current directory
• enter your email (the one used on the store)
• enter your serial number (license key)
• start the update

Notes:

• the first time you should have a warning stating the folder is not empty. You can safely ignore this warning once you have double checked the serial number is the one for this aircraft
• the first time you upgrade it may be a good idea to delete the "Custom Avionics" folder. This is only needed if you applied previous updates without removing this folder first

Not sure if posted somewhere, but with XP11.10 final with Victory v2 (2.3.3) I can't start the sim, when loading the plane the sim crash to desktop, I'm attaching my log, please help.

Many thanks,

thanks!

It's the only thing missing from this great aircraft!

2) There doesn't seem to be an altitude alerter?

3) Are there any plans to tweak the autopilot? It over-banks (it likes to use over 35 degrees of roll to turn), and overshoots the desired track (it doesn't seem to compensate for speed, and turns too late). The tighter the turn, the further away from the way point it should initiate the turn to avoid overshooting, but it doesn't seem to do this. It is particularly a problem when flying approach segments at speed (e.g. 250 kts) even though it has room to turn.

In heading mode, it can overshoot a little bit and needs to correct itself a couple of times before stabilizing.

Hand flying it in these situations is OK.

Any assistance you could give me in flight plan procedures would be greatly appreciated.

Example of such in a 737

Here are the screenshots, nav source set, ap, nav mode on, not matter what it never goes to the fms waypoint and the heading nav indicator is off the path. Navigraph already updated and nothing fix this.

I have tried disabling plugins and nothing makes it work. Don't know what to do anymore. This is the only aircraft that I am having such an issue, I am used to fly both payware and default planes and have always used the FMS.

Please help!

I tried deleting the aircraft folder and reinstalling. Prior to activation, I was able to load the aircraft without a crash but as soon as I activated and reloaded, it crashed again.

I'm on a retina macbook pro running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with the Nvidia GT750M and 16BG RAM. X-plane shows version 10.45r2 and is the Steam Edition. No crash report was generated, the log is embedded below.

EDIT: I tried attaching rather than embedding and apparently it didn't work :(  I'm in the process of doing a full x-plane reinstall.

If you encounter error 403, disconnect from the store, delete your cookies, restart your browser and try again.

* AP disconnect

* Fuel tank selector left/right (saves looking down to switch it)

What is the rule for the automatic fuel tank switcher (does it just wait until the fuel imbalance reaches a certain level then switch)?

I purchased the Victory V2.0 for XP11 this evening and loving every second of it!

I have a question regarding range and fuel burn: I compute that the aircraft has a range of 2300 NM. From what I can find out about the real aircraft, it has a range of around 1300 SM. Why am I seeing so much significant additional range??

Log.txt

(FWIW, this is the middle SkyView)

As you can see, it appears that the 20 NM label for the range ring is drawn after/above the time of the ETE NEXT overlay, which seems incorrect to me.

A minor annoyance, but would be nice to have it fixed eventually
