Ah, thank you for the beautiful pictures - they bring back fond memories of flying the Classic for 12 years! The NG is supposed to fly fairly similar to the Classic (although most variants are a bit heavier), I am sure you will enjoy it!! I assume the difference might be like the one between 747-400 and 747-8 (the ones I fly now), they are subtle but noticeable nonetheless. Good luck and success with your type rating, all the best, Jan

Look harder. The answer to your title question is 'No'.

Hoped there would be a secrete option But I read some things in this forum and I understand the cancelation of XP11 support. Only then the upgrade policy makes sense. So, perhaps we see us in the future.

Hello, I'd like to join the question. I have both X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 installed. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing fluctuating performance in XP12. Toliss runs great, but Felis not so much. With the IXEG 737, I'm worried I might encounter similar issues in XP12. Does the purchased version work in XP11 or not at all? If so, I'll just stick to flying in the old sim and wait for XP12 to hopefully run better with future updates. Best regards, Timo

Hi everyone. I’m doing the 737NG type and had the opportunity to know the 737 300/400/500 pilot training device. It’s loyally beautiful. An authentic legendary classic. Pity not to have the opportunity to fly in the real. I share here with you my emotion and satisfaction. Thanks IXEG for the experience. IMG_1873.mov IMG_1870.mov

The bulk of that time was spent on the CL650 update, as there was quite a bit to take care of. As there's only 2 of us, we have to prioritize the work according to various factors. Is there an ETA? Not one that we can safely stick to. We loosely planned to push out the last update for the CL650 within 2 years of release. That deadline passed 3 months ago. We're putting in the hours to get both the TBM and CL650 done as soon as we can, as we want to move on to the next project. All I ca n promise is we aren't going anywhere, and we're working to get everything done.

They are. But we may also not be able to fix it without modification to the plane. In the meantime my script linked above does the job.

No - sorry I was not clear. I meant I had to rename the DRT folder in the plugins folder from DataRefTool_v2.4.1 (as downloaded) to DataRefTool in addition to the setting up drt_ignore.txt with the entries below. Not doing so would make x-plane crash straightaway, irrespective of the plane.

downloaded it at the 11.11.2023, but I am going to download it again... update: the new downloaded installer seemed to downlod while installation much slower, but it was succesful! YAY!

Laminar is doing some major upgrades to xplane for next release, no developer is silly enough to do a major release until it has gone Beta and being tested by a lot of very picky consumers. I should add, "some very Vocal", consumers.

I want to get the IXEG 737 but I would like to be able to own both the X-Plane 11 & 12 versions if possible. I see the X-Plane 11 version is now removed from the store. Please, is there any way to get both versions of the aircraft? I would be willing to pay for both if I could get some kind of package discount for buying both versions of the aircraft. I still use X-Plane 11 a lot for many reasons and I want this plane in both sims.

Lol good point. I believe you but I did a survey a couple months ago (from a popular flight sim website) asking me which simulators I use most and after I finished the survey it showed me the results which actually showed many more X-Plane users are using still using X-Plane 11 version 11.55 over X-Plane 12. Another strange result that surpised me is that some X-Plane users are still using an outdated version of X-Plane 11 (version 11.30 I believe but I could be wrong) for some reason. I am not asking for continued support and updates for XP11 add-ons. As I said before, I would be happy to buy the XP11 version of the IXEG 737 as is with no developer support or new updates. All I'm asking is that they make it available for sale, I don't think that's asking too much and it will in no way hurt development of current products.

I’m hoping for good news from the beta testers soon.

It appears that you are not signed into your X-Aviation account in Gizmo, so the G5s aren't activating. Sometimes the sign in window doesn't appear on X-Plane monitor when it is positioned at a negative display coordinate, as shown here. Temporarily open X-Plane in windowed mode instead of full screen and then the sign in dialog should show up.

Perfectly in your right! You're just in a severe minority.

I know that the CL600-series is generally operated at M0.80 at cruise, and I am personally totally fine with that. Still, out of interest: does any operator ever fly at max cruise? (Bombardier itself specifies a max cruise of M0.82, so I don't know where the MCRZ of M0.83 in the Hot Start FMS comes from). I have the impression that a good portion of operators go even lower, e. g. to M0.78 in cruise, even when not having to squeeze out max range. Is it just a fuel burn/cost issue, or does the Challenger display some unwanted qualities at speeds higher than M0.80?

In order to debug what is going on, we will need you to send us a copy of the X-Plane log.txt file. You can find a guide to get this file here: How to find the X-Plane log.txt file?

A "no, X-Plane 11 is no longer supported and therefore you can't buy it" is ok for me. Though it would be sad but of course acceptable. I just ask for clarification.

In the G5.cfg file for the aircraft being used, in a text editor, change the line for "g5_mbbarounit" to be set to 1 which will switch to MB/HPA units.

Hi, Any chance we get the option to load charts on the MFD as In It´s real world counterpart? This would be the missing link to make the G500 the ultimate half-glass tool! Thanks, Mike

Personally, I was only impressed with Carenado's aircraft when I first started (back) simming with XP in 2017. Didn't take me long to figure out that most of their aircraft was light on systems modeling. However, the texture modeling is what sold me. If Carenado want to avoid XP, I say, "good rid...".

This crash bug should be sorted with the next update. Custom animations aren't handled during replay by X-Plane, so make sure to do any replays before messing with the doors or anything else obvious from the outside.

Requesting this bird - Precision Air Tanzania, 737-300, please.

Reference material - https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/CL605-FUEL_SYSTEM.pdf Page: 16 Fuel tanks are expected to be within 400 lbs / 181 kgs of each other on taxi / takeoff / landing OR 800 lbs / 362 kgs during flight, to avoid Fuel Imbalance EICAS message. First, orient yourself on the overhead panel, we'll be working in the 2nd row (or middle row) of the FUEL panel area. (Fuel.PNG) All three of these buttons should be extinguished under normal operations. Gravity XFLOW Press to begin the process, there's a 1 second delay after pushing the button for it to illuminate OPEN. This will allow fuel to flow freely between both main (wing-based) tanks. There is no EICAS notification that this is open/occurring. (gravity.png) To observe what's happening in the sim. You can go to the Challenger 650 menu -> Study -> Engines -> Fuel System... You'll notice that whatever Main Tank (either Left or Right) has more fuel that this will continue to consume, whereas the side with less fuel will not. Thus balancing the tanks. L (R) to AUX XFLOW Press the appropriate button to begin the process, there's a 1 second delay after pushing the button for it to illuminate ON. This will remove fuel from whatever side is select and transfer it to the auxiliary tank. Determine which tank has more weight in fuel Left side? Choose L to AUX (L to AUX.png) Right side? Choose R to AUX (R to AUX.png) There is a lock out mechanism that does not allow you to press the opposite button when one is already selected. Pressing L to AUX, for example, then pressing R to AUX, will no longer illuminate the L to AUX button. Pressing the R to AUX button again will resume the L to AUX transfer and the button will illuminate ON again. Once you're done balancing the tank, make sure to deselect the previously selected L (R) to AUX button. The aircraft will now suspend fuel consumption from the two main tanks and pull from the AUX tank until depleted. *Edit* Thanks! @airforce2 As long as a main tank is below 93% full, the aux tank feeds the main tank to maintain the level at 93%. Once a main drops to 93%, the main quantity will remain constant and the aux level will drop. It will appear that the engines are burning from the aux tank, but in reality the engines are burning from the mains and that fuel is being simultaneously replaced in the main tank from the aux tank ejector xfer pumps. To observe what's happening in the sim. You can go to the Challenger 650 menu -> Study -> Engines -> Fuel System... Note: The plane will display an EICAS warning message: FUEL XFLOW SOV OPEN if either button is ON for more than 50 seconds and the tanks are balanced within 100 lbs.

Yes, we load in the X-Plane 12 navigation data, whether default or updated via Navigraph or Aerosoft

The TEGB bug is triggered even if you aren't in the region, I think it's caused when the G500 reads the data from a wide area around your current location (perhaps 1000NM or maybe the entire globe ?) which includes the scenery.

Wait... I was able to reproduce it and looking into this.

I have this too

Thanks much!

Yes, we will be integrating this into the G500 ourselves (we build our own builds of OpenGPWS that we deploy with our products, but that is mostly a technicality). In the interim, replacing the current OpenGPWS with the one provided here should handle what you need. We don't touch the DSFs ourselves in any of our products so the bug here should be contained exclusively within OpenGPWS.

Yes, but it didn't happen when I entered there the night I went through it and wrote that message . Try this: Challenger 650 Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) Volume 2 [Entertainment]

The default global scenery is at the minimum of plausibility, alternatively there is the one made from simheaven here which is based on OSM data, it's always plausible, it means that you could find the buildings really present, but maybe with height-shape-color a little different, however it is much better than the default Trains and cars often disappear or appear out of nowhere. It's plausible that there are rails and roads as VFR references, but cars and trains should avoid looking at them

Not to be rude, but X-Plane 12 has been out for over a year now, and devs had access to the SDK even longer than that. Is there any ballpark ETA? Is it weeks? Months? Next Year? X-Plane 12 runs so much better on my PC and I miss the TBM! I'm starting to get withdrawal shakes Its my favorite plane to fly!!

Could of posted that months ago. Thank you.

Once you’re down to those levels the sensors are unreliable and not all fuel in the tanks is even usable. You should be planning to land with 4,000 lbs, obviously something went rather wrong in your fuel planning.

any chance of a hotfix for the satphone CTD, so that we at least can use the plane, while we wait for the major update?

Will this functionality ever be natively supported in the module? I'm sort of shocked that I still can't adjust the payload in the stock version of this thing.

It's been a while...

I do, have refined it to the new version... still need some work and I couldn't make the cargo doors to work but you can always use the interface, sometimes the doors get stuck too. XP12_737-300.xml

I REALLY don´t want this thread to devolve into the same old same old "my sim is better than your sim" discussion. We X-Plane people don´t care how many copies MSFS sells (maybe a little bit, the more the better since it introduces people to the flightsim genre that might try X-Plane as well later on), we only care about how many copies we sell and if those are enough to cover our cost and make us enough money to keep doing this. We could make a LOT more money coding some farm game where you can raise pigs or plant barley, but we like making airplanes better.

@skiselkov@Pils Hi guys! Finally had a chance to test the descent yesterday; had the smoothest and most pleasant descent ever in my 231 hours on the CL60. The problem was indeed what @skiselkov diagnosed: having the GND SPOILERS set at AUTO instead of ARM did the trick. Thank you very much guys for taking the time to troubleshoot my issue, and pointing me in the right direction. You have no idea how much I appreciate! Have a great day!

Status report, I just got my hands on V12.06....and the reverse seems only marginally better, still not right IMO. I expect a back and forth with Laminar on this one...and hope we can see eye to eye. If not, I'll have to overwrite and rewrite my own prop governor...not my first choice as it'll take a bit....*sigh -tk

hope this plays. last one was encoded wrong. this is H.264. In this video, When moving the levers UP in BETA...I am "holding down" the lift levers command to illustrate how it only lifts and "captures" when in the zone. (though I screwed up, leaving the pref window "in focus" for a bit before I figured it out.) levers.mp4

On the APPROCH REF 3/4 page, the approach climb gradient is for the single engine case. Landing climb gradient is 2 engine.

Don't switch off the battery while the is APU running and this APU event will not occur. Can be reset by accessing the APU fault panel on the left rear fuselage.
