I had a great flight tonight form KJFK - KBOS and really am impressed with the new XENVIROMENT UPDATE and how accurate it displays the weather. As you can see I am sitting in Boston and the cloud cover in the distance is moving on in and matches perfectly with the picture I posted of the skyvector overlay. Also just added my Airpad2 to my desktop using AirFMC from Haversine for the IXEG 737. Worked perfectly.

I believe its the N key...but please try it before investing in a long flight..lol

Has anyone here done this yet? Im going on Saturday for a 90 min session flying the 737-800NG SIMULATOR (Fixed Base) http://boston.flightexperience.com/

A good habit to get into is to always keep the heading bug lined up with the direction you are to follow..just incase the LNAV for some reason lets go you can quickly choose HDG and maintain the same direction until you find the trouble that caused it to let go..or mabe a bug raising its ugly head.LOL

Thanks Tom! I tried it out last night and it worked great! Well done!

Your absolutely right about the pot I have calibrated this time and time again and cant get it to zero out..its the pot no doubt..and its a new one to boot! from GoFlight!.. I thought that the script gave me the option to set a value of zero to 100 allowing the existing travel and override xplanes default calibration values..Thankyou for your help..looks like I will have to replace this one also....

So last night I tried this..apparently it didn't do what I thought it would do.Followed instructions perfectly..all the scripts were working that came with it.. and tried over and over..but the calibration just wouldn't get my flaps to "0" it was always starting at 2 and when I hit the keyboard command to "fully up flaps" they went up but would jump back down nilly willy to "2" again. When I calibrate in xplane it does not show fully traveled in the up position..just the full flap position it will show..and stops short of "flaps up".

Wow...what a time saver!... great idea Tom..many of times I had wished this was an option

Thankyou! I will try this....

No rudder pedals..lol so please excuse the drift..

FLaps issue raised its ugly head again...what Im looking for is a plugin for setting values for a limited travel for my GoFlight TQ6 Advance. XPLANE will not zero out for flaps up unless I hit the keyboard command..and then it will just creep back to say FLAPS 1 .I know the pots that came with this unit is not very good...and I did make a modification so my flap lever went up and beyond its stopping point..which worked for awhile...so I changed out the pot and now its still there with the same problem. Potbelly seems to work only with assigning buttons...does FWLUA pluging fit this bill for doing what I need?

Well said..it certainly opened my eyes to what is entailed..in which I never really knew..I have been simming since Microsoft way back when..and this time around I really wanted a sim that actually mimicks true aircraft dynamics and challenges. Your aircraft is just simply amazing and so well thought out ..and the artwork is just amazing. Functionality will always be moving forward and getting better all the time..so to sum it up..My hats off to all of you..for such a great aircraft and to LR for giving us a serious sim platform to work from.

I am also interested in using my IPAD for AirFMC but havnt yet tried it...interested in knowing before moving forward on this

I had a CTD yesterday..IXEG 737 + XENVIRO as I taxied off the runway after a successful 30 min flight..report submitted to LR. .No other plugins running.trying to keep it simple during the Beta phases....

im getting 52-59 fps now after a restore...with all sliders to left after a bit of adjusting graphic settings in xplane Im back to around 30-35..fps VISUAL/TEXTURE -MAXED ANTIALIASING- 4X+SSAA+FXAA WORLD OBJECTS -HIGH REFLECTION- MEDIUM NO SHADOWS ON SCENERY/ CHECKED DRAW PARKED AIRCRAFT window mode- frames stay pretty consistant.. Full screen- drops out about 5 fps NO VSYNCH

what would I be looking for that might cause that? I just went and hit restore in the Nvidia control panel for a start and will work up from there

I have a question here... I decided to drop out in XPLANE11 all to the left, to low on everything just to see what kind of framerate I would get.and I am seeing the same frames stuck at 30 ..expecting to see a higher frame rate. When I put everything back to High /HDR and all to the right,except reflection (halfway). with most of my sliders the frames stay the same..mabe a quick drop to 27-30.VSYNCH is off ..My setup is the I7-6700K, GTX 1070 with a new MB Z170-E. Im curious as to why nothing changes..of course Im using the IXEG 737 solely...I am using drivers 376.19, 16341mb graphics, ...does anyone have any ideas why? suggestions? Edit...I even tried the Cessna defaut and they stay at 30...all sliders off..left...I think something is not right...

I base out of KLGA all the time with the IXEG 737....LOOKS AWESOME! Nice shot!

gonna take a shot in the dark on this one.....NY....LOL!

Nice specs on your rig...but lets hope XP11 will improve on FPS as the patches come out..your system should soar with FPS and mine too...when all said and done!

Thanks PT6driver....for high altitude flying XENVIRO all the way...but when Im flying GA aircraft..low and slow..SKYMAXX4 has the floor where distance isn't a factor.

Just ordered the MFG Crosswind pedals.

Usually if I have a soft crash ..mabe because of Gizmo or the IXEG 737 I can see that because of my fiddling around with the FMC...and of course XPLANE11 is still beta.. It just kinda stinks after an hour of flight and looking forward to a sweet approach and landing..and its just taken away from you....arrgh... but ,oh well..been doing this for years..used to it now

for me..getting the LNAV/VNAV and anything to do with the navigation spot on means more to me...only because while im teaching myself with information and implementing these procedures..if something goes wrong..I don't know if it was my error or the software not complying...but whatever they do for an update is thumbs up for me! the eyecandy can and take a back seat.
