No, Josh, they will not listen to us. That is quite obvious from both mine and
Ron's experiences. So, the one who is lying is you.

Re: It’s your plane not working
Oh, don’t get me wrong, MCE will respond and have dialog with you. Which is a
lot more than I can say for Robert right now. I get that he has health issues,
but outright lying about MCE will not help us. They will listen, but as Ben
told you a few months ago, Ron, they aren’t making an IYP clone. That means no
tour guide feature and VA mode—there are plenty of VAs you can fly without that.
MCE does have its flaws currently—every program does, including IYP, but to sit
here and say that they won’t listen to us when they’ve implemented multiple
features per my suggestions is an outright lie. Unlike some developers, they’re
at least trying to make an effort, and it’s a good one.

So, don't hold your breath to wait for them to get back to you.
Sorry, I can't be much more help.
Ron who's been flying his private GA DF7X to keep himself in the air.
But I do have to agree that it isn't like when we were flying for our virtual
careers.

I emailed Robert to let him know and to ask what was up regarding IYP’s
status, but I’m not holding my breath for a response. I’m taking a brake from
flying for now, mainly because I can’t get through the MCE developer’s heads
that we need some kind of landing assists. I’m beginning to see the challenge
for them. When you set up IYP, you were required to create a runways database
specifically for IYP with makerways. I wonder if this data in the database is
what data IYP used to make landings.
A large portion of MCE’s users, and by a large portion, I mean pretty much
every one of them, uses the advanced aircraft that has FMCs. When you program
those, it manages everything that IYP did, such as maintaining optimized
airspeed, etc. Ben suggested that we can land manually by turning off
vertical speed hold and using rate of descent command, however the issue with
this is that with an ILS landing, you aren’t actually following the
glideslope, even if ATC vectors you correctly.
MCE devs have been pretty much receptive and implemented a lot of things for
us in the time I’ve been using it—I actually enjoy using PF3 with MCE now, it
feels almost like IYP when I say Request IFR clearance, request taxi, etc.
And the latest thing to be implemented is that it uses the file to get PF3
frequency data.
I’ll have to do a video showing the devs how using the ROD command… we can
land, but it sure isn’t a smooth landing. As you approach the ground, you
have to pull up a bit to decrease your climb rate, and that’s where using the
keyboard would come in handy. Just can’t do it quickly with voice. Also,
without a runway database for it, it doesn’t know airport elevation, and this
is critical. I’m sure the MCE devs wonder where I went, I’ll have to check in
I guess, especially with the fate of IYP being unknown.

I really hope so, but I think as he said he’s not working on it any more and
the webpage also stated about his health its possible Iyp is finished.
Even if you already had it installed it doesn’t work. Again I really hope
that is not the case
