  7. FPL extension - coroutes

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi

    It is a bit unknown to me why IXEG chose to use this weir extension for flight plans format (only supported by simbrief), however I am trying to figure out how I can use PFPX and copy/paste the flight plan to notepad++ and add bloody fpl extension to it.

    Can someone help me, please?

  8. VNAV

    in Flight Procedures and Techniques

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am aware the vnav is not fully functional but I have no clue to which extent it’s working. Here is example: 

    1. Sometimes when I approach TD nothing happens. Vnav fully on, autopilot on, altitude set to lower. Descent path indicator stays solid in centerline, nothing happens. So I trigger manual descent and all of a sudden vnav “clicks in” and shows me that I’m above my vnav path, much above it.

    2. When descent works ok, all of a sudden sometimes it looses the path. It shows that I am on correct descent path and in split second it messes up and either tells me I am much above or much below. It happened few times already.

  11. Bank Angle + Cabin Altitude

    in Flight Procedures and Techniques

    Posted

    Hi,

    Two questions regarding use of bank angle limiter and cabin altitude. Before I have only flown 738 by PMDG and there was automation on both systems. Classic is a bit different :)

    1. Bank Angle - how to use it properly? Take off - 30 degrees, but should this be limited in cruise flight?

    2. Cabin Alt. I know that I have to set FL and landing altitude and change the system to flight from ground. But there is also possibility to set the desired cabin alt. How is this used/operated. Should it be at zero all the time?

  12. NavDataPro - Aerosoft - how to update AIRAC

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    I can see that IXEG uses NavDataPro as "base" NAV data supplier. Great, I am planning to update my database with it. I have small problem in deciding as to which folder should I point the installer to:

    Option 1: IEXG 737 Classic main folder

    Option 2: IEXG 737 Classic ---> fmc_data

    Using option 2 gives 2 more folders within fmc_data folder called NavData and SidStar.

    What should I do?

  16. Throttle not working on landing

    in 737-300 Aircraft Systems and Operation

    Posted

    I just did another flight and I noticed another interesting thing. When I move throttles to idle with auto-throttle on and flight in auto mode, 3 red light light up for the gear. Then, plane tends to loose the auto-throttle automation. Speed goer to ARM from time to time and I have to "re-click" vnav button for the automation to kick in. Then, on approach all of the sudden throttles were lost again despite being in manual mode.

    Hello Lude2Envy,

    I understand you are upset, but there is quite simple solution to your questions. I am also interested in creating PFPX profile (or SimBrief) profile for this plane. Various data are on the internet forums. I could not decide so... I loaded the plane, took the calculator and here is what I came up with:

    All weights are in LBS!

    DOW: 72753

    MZFW: 105000

    MTOW: 138499

    MLW: 113999

    FUEL: 35583

    PAX:149 - this comes up from PFPX

    When I compare other Boeing profiles on PFPX, I think I am quite close. I do have problem with MLW. Perhaps someone can correct me? Or can someone confirm if my above calculations are more or less ok to go with?

  20. 733 long haul

    I know this topic is “old” but how did you manage to export flight plan out of PFPX into IXEG? Or are you copy paste into notepad or hand typing it into fmc? I tried and nothing works for coroutes unless I manually edit it.
