Good morning, it looks like you are running several - potentially outdated, incompatible or unstable - plugins like Volanta, a Weather Radar, XPRealistic, XPilot, a touchdown recorder, and so on. There is also a long list of errors pertaining to the CSL aircraft used by the XPilot plugin... I also see that you are running this on a laptop with medium to low capabilities and have a lot of add-on scenery (like Ortho4XP, OrbX Innsbruck...), there are several messages about running out of memory . This is what I would suggest: Remove all third-party content to revert the X-Plane simulator to a "vanilla" state - i.e. the way it was when you first install it. Now install the 737 and see if it runs. If this works, you can install your other third-party plugins and content ONE BY ONE to see which ones causes the crash. Let me know if this helps!

Hello Joachim, It seems that you do not know how the Autopilot and Flight-Director system of the 737 (and all Boeing aircraft) works, and I can not explain it fully here in forum posts. I see you are still in TO/GA mode (you did not activate an appropriate vertical mode after taking off) and of course while using the Flight Director the same flight-mode-announcements are shown as if flying with the autopilot, the only difference is that the pilot is moving the controls, not the autopilot. The vertical line "jumping" is normal take-off behavior, it is the way that the FlightDirector is coded...the pilot is not supposed to follow the flight-director until he has safely taken off. I suggest reading and studying about how these systems and the flight mode annunciation works, there are also some good tutorial videos on what these do and how they are supposed to be operated. If you fly without knowing how the systems work, you will have lots of questions about "unexplainable behavior".

Exactly - the pilot does not care how many people sit behind the cockpit door, he only cares about the weight and the center of gravity.

Here, I found the thread I was remembering:

Hi and thanks for the feedback - sorry to hear that you are having this problem! We have heard of a report like this once before - it seems to be a problem with the OpenAL sound library system that is happening very rarely on some systems, for reasons unknown to us. I will try to find the post about this problem and see if there was a solution to it - eventually we plan to move the sounds to the FMOD sound system, which should solve this problem. Can you try setting your volume lower or putting your sound out on a different device (i.e. going from monitor speaker to headset or so)? Maybe that will help as it sounds like the sound volume is exceeding a certain sound level on your system, possibly. Sorry I can not provide any more clear guidance, Jan

It varies from airline to airline and even then between different configurations. If you put in many small seats -> more passengers, and vice versa.

That looks very well flown!

If you hear nothing from us, assume that the project is not abandoned but no work has been done on it that would warrant us sharing any progress info. If we abandon the project, we will announce this here - so if we don´t - you know it´s not abandoned.

The arrival fuel on the PROGRESS page is still buggy and does not show the correct fuel. You can use a rule-of-thumb though and calculate your fuel use by assuming that you will need 2400kg of fuel for 400 nautical miles - or 6kg (14lbs) per NM. This is valid for "when at cruising altitude", so you can calculate how much fuel you will use until you arrive at the destination.

We thought about it, but there is a reason why we did not include this. On aircraft without automatic alerting of incorrect barometric setting below/above the transition level/altitude, it is procedure to change the settings separately. For example if you fly at FL 210 and ATC says "descend to 4000 feet, altimeter 1032", the PILOT FLYING will change his altimeter immediately to the QNH setting (so he does not forget and the plane levels of at the correct altitude), but the PNF will only change his altimeter as he passes the transition level (so that if ATC changes their mind and tells you "stop descent at FL190" you have one altimeter set to the correct STD value, still. If we had made the altimeters sync, too - it would be impossible to follow this correct procedure with the sync enabled.

I would just like to add that the use of the adjective "broken" in connection with the current state of the 737 makes me question the validity of the other arguments that were brought forward as it made me assume that there is a fundamental misunderstanding about how this airplane works and a fruitful discussion about it´s shortcomings (that are openly and for everyone to read in this thread https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/8526-things-that-are-not-going-to-be-in-v15/ would be very difficult to have.

Nope. I meant all the - vaguely concealed - attempts to lure out information that have been posted by various users every few weeks. Which have all been replied to with the same: There is currently nothing to report. I am here to provide support for users with problems/questions and so is the customer support of X-Aviation. So the support for the plane is alive and well.

You can read the recent posts regarding your question.

The gross weight can be entered on the approach page to check "in advance" what kind of approach speeds you would expect (like when you do the approach in one hour or so) - accounting for burnt fuel until you actually will fly the approach. This is rarely used, but the way it works in reality. Normally you are not supposed to EVER enter the gross weight or zero-fuel-weight after the initial setup. The fuel totalizer will add the current weight of the fuel to the zero-fuel weight (as entered by the pilot) and thus your gross weight will always show the correct, current value.

It sounds like you are doing everything right - there is really not much to it. There are several tutorial videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGRsg_6rB1D6f7lKjdw5r9P99swJtryhQ&si=t3vEGmLMysqJ3zHE If you "lose" your tracking, it could be that your joystick is noisy or spiky, deflecting the joystick carries the risk of disengaging the autopilot. It should come with aural and visual warnings, though. If that happens, you can increase your Joystick Deadzone in the preferences, so that a slight "jitter" will not disconnect the AP.
