I wanted to note that the sound I've included is of a physical fire bell. Most 737s these days now use electronic speakers for the fire bell, which is what most pilots are used to hearing. This recording is that of the classic, physical fire bell.

Yeah Ill do that. Post will be updated in a moment

Im pretty sure the sound thats in the current public version is a placeholder. I would imagine so, as its labeled "temp" and has artifacts, is muffled, and "noisy". The current beta version may have a different sound. The current sound is nowhere near the quality of the other sounds.

Hey y'all, I recorded a new sound for the fire bell. Heres a quick video demonstration. Much better than the original. Jan, if you want me to send it to you to include in the next version, PM me.

Nothing solid

I will conduct some tests right now I will report to you if I come up with a solid link between xEnviro and Gizmo (I only have IXEG so I cant test the SAAB

Absolutely. Are the gauges being re-rendered at multiple stages of flight/time (or maybe the gauge reflections are real time?) The crashes occurred at initialization during the tests yet I also experienced the same crashes at random times. I think a solid test we could run is to disable the rendering of gauge reflections and see what happens then. Then move on from there. 100%. Nothing makes things more difficult (and annoying) than those who point fingers and start drama. Programming is a world where so much can go wrong over the dumbest little things that it'd be foolish to blame anyone for specific problems.

I believe I may have found a conflict between the IXEG 737 and xEnviro. Unfortunately, the log files for all plugins and programs are inconclusive as to what is exactly causing CTDs. No mentions of xEnviro, Gizmo, or anything else for that matter. Although, the crashes only occurred with the IXEG and xEnviro together. This is going to take me a day or two, but I will be running a series of tests with the IXEG 737, xEnviro, and other aircraft to determine the problems (hopefully). After several tests tonight, I can confirm 'Draw Vortices' did not effect whether or not there was a CTD with the IXEG despite the fact that Draw Vortices does change the visual detail. Here is a collection of data I made after performing 3 exclusive tests in X-Plane 10 with xEnviro The following tests were conducted by loading to a new airport aprox every 1 minute Test 1 IXEG 737 + xEnviro + DRAW VORTICES ON - CTD?: YES Time elapsed (from start to CTD): 6m59s _______________________________________ Test 2 IXEG 737 + xEnviro + DRAW VORTICES OFF - CTD?: YES Time elapsed (from start to CTD): 2m09s _______________________________________ Test 3 Default C172 + xEnviro - CTD? NO Time Elapsed (From start to END) 15m00s - At 15m00s the aircraft type was changed to IXEG 737 (Draw Vortices OFF) - CTD? YES Time Elapsed (From 15m00s to CTD) 2m47s _______________________________________ Test 4 Rotate MD-80 + xEnviro - CTD? No Time Elapsed: 15m02s _______________________________________ Please note!! Neither IXEG, X-Aviation, or even xEnviro are directly responsible for these crashes. These are coincidental and simply mean the two addons are POSSIBLY butting heads.

I don't know about Europe, but here in the states the STARS are pretty dang complex which makes descending on Vnav impossible with the IXEG. Heres teh AARCH1 I came in on last night, VNAV was completely incapable of handling it. http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1613/00360aarch.pdf#search=KSTL

737s in general tend to keep their speed up in descent, a bit too easily. That includes the 737CL. Unfortunately, the IXEG 737 doesnt seem to handle VNAV descents too well, combined with a realistic flight model, makes descending on VNAV near impossible. A 280kt descent is the target for most carriers and this can be achieved by simply descending 15-20 miles earlier than when it wants. Also, speed brakes are your best friend. Jan has much more experience on this, I'd like to see what he has to say

In 2017, the Boeing 737CL will become significantly closer to extinction as Southwest Airlines (US) will be retiring all of their remaining 737-300s, leaving only a few dozen still operating in the world. Very sad realization to see such a capable aircraft quickly being tossed in graves. https://skift.com/2016/04/21/southwest-is-sending-its-oldest-planes-to-early-retirement/

Must've been the APU pressure. I had packs off and all, then remembered I was at 7,300 MSL. So in that kind of situation would they bring out external air? Seems like it would make sense to.

Hey there, I was wondering if this was normal behavior. Pushing back and starting Eng 2 I noticed the N2 started falling off at around 20%. I usually introduce fuel at 25% but had to do so much earlier because the N2 wasn't spooling as high as fast as it usually does. This is a first for me and I have a feeling it has something to do with the airfield elevation being 7,300 feet MSL. Do the engines behave differently at higher elevations? thanks

That is really good to hear. I bought RWC without realizing I needed SMP but after seeing the SMP4 screenshots I decided not to request a refund and buy SMP4 as soon as its out.
