  1. An irregular grid of squares appears in parts of the sky. Sometimes they're black, sometimes they're white (as shown). Changing aircraft doesn't make a difference. I've fiddled with a number of settings but all the changes I've made only move the squares around a bit. The screenshot was made with the settings at default. Machine specs: MacBook Pro 15" Retina, Mid-2015. 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 w/16 GB RAM. AMD Radeon R9 M370X w/2048 MB VRAM. Running XPlane 10.45 with SkyMAXX Pro v3.2.1 and Real Weather Connector. SkyMaxx reports I have 10862 MB of video RAM free (which seems really absurdly high) and 1466MB of system RAM free at the moment. The only thing that seems to make the squares go away is disabling either the Gizmo64 or the Pilotedge plugin.
  2. Start up ready-to-fly and put KAVX as the destination, then select RWY 22 for arrival. Gizmo immediately crashes. The crash occurs whether or not a departure airport and runway has been selected. Same crash selecting RWY 4. Nav data is the default that comes with the plane. Gizmo log attached. No IXEG_FMS_debug.txt was generated for this flight. GizmoLog.txt
  3. In the x737 and Ramzzes 777 I felt that way and almost always flew completely automated. But in the IXEG 733 the flight dynamics are so docile and controllable I'm having a blast doing most of it by hand and juggling all the manual piloting with talking to the Pilotedge ATC. I can trim level flight at 10000ft/240kt without as much trouble. It's faster speeds that seem to give me more trouble. I can see what you mean about full size controls, though -- those trim wheels are huge and must allow an incredibly fine degree of adjustment.
  4. I've been hand-flying the 733 more recently, and it's a treat (when I can manage to get it right). At high speed cruising, near the barber pole (say, 330 kts at FL280), I've noticed the elevator trim gets really sensitive. A tiny trim movement that would change V/S by 10fpm at lower speeds will produce a 300-400fpm change. Makes it much harder to maintain a perfect cruising altitude -- I keep bobbing up and down +/- a couple hundred feet. Is this a RW flight dynamic or a bug?
  5. I see, so it's flown more or less like a localizer-only approach. That'll work!
  6. Thanks to Jan's excellent tutorials I'm pretty confident flying the 737 on the ILS. But I can't seem to figure out how to make the plane track the vertical path on an RNAV/GPS approach. I assume the real 737-300 is capable. Can anyone give me pointers?
