  1. Yep, just hope to see some progress in the future which I'm sure we will.
  2. This is probably the only plane I can fly in XP11 thanks to not only the systems realism but the fact it imitates the sounds and camera shaking so perfectly, not even PMDG or FSL could do this so you guys should be proud. When I got the plane for the first time after purchase I was disappointed that I bought more of a unfinished beta rather than a complete product: the exterior doors didn't open (which for me in the first time in 10 years of simming is the first for a payware), and the FMS was missing so much stuff that I could compare it to the vanilla FMS from XP11. But what truly grunts me is that VNAV is not only not implemented (for descent) but that it's so buggy that every time I use it for descent it crashes my sim (XP 11.30). I really want to enjoy this plane; this is in fact one of 2 planes that I fly in XP11 this and the 737 Ultimate. But even the ultimate despite being freeware has a working VNAV system. Yes the FMS is not complete like that of other payware such as PMDG but that usually takes much time. The last update was more than a year ago and not a single thing no matter how minuscule has been added to this bird. Honestly IXEG you guys should've kept this plane back a few more years and release it with ALL the features it's supposed to have. I honestly wouldn't mind waiting another few more years to have a complete simulation rather than an unfinished beta., not trying to come across as rude but I want to get my opinion out because I CARE and WANT this to be the greatest addon for not only XP11 but flight sim itself. You guys had a great idea but poorly executed it's schedule, this entire situation with the incomplete FMS reminds me of the 737 MAX grounding, it just wasn't ready yet. Now yes I also do want a complete FMS in fact along with VNAV I want a complete FMS, because when the FMS is complete then the ENTIRE plane will be fully functional as it should be, I honestly don't care for the doors, it's all eye candy and 95% of the time is spent in the air anyways. I hope Jan you and your team will take a look at this and give it some thought, I am aware you guys are planning an update but it's been a while and this plane needs a full FMC. If the update could come out this summer than great! I would start spending more time in XP11 rather than P4D even though the latter has more functionality. Please IXEG.... you have the potential to become the PMDG of X-Plane, use it!
  3. You know what Jan your right, I can't because this is THE most immersive aircraft I've ever flown on a simulator, not even PMDG or FSLabs got their sounds & camera system as close as this. I do hope you will finish the plane soon though.
  4. Jan when will you guys release the FMS update, because I do know you guys are workin on re-doing the flight management portion. It's a shame that a aircraft like this was released in this state. IMHO you should have taken your time & released it in full, we can be patient & wait.
  5. Yeah I just want a fully functioning VNAV system & a full FMS, I can handle not being able to open the doors for a while. Quite a virtual fleet you got there, you could start your own airline!
  6. Probably late here for the party, any idea when the next update after 1.21 will come? namely to address the CTD issue when using VNAV on descent? This is the best payware plane for XP11 (IMHO) but the fact that the FMS is incomplete kinda ruins the immersion for me. IXEG I know you have it in you, guys you have to believe in yourself. You made a plane so immersive in sounds & especially in the camera system it makes PMDG look like nothing. IXEG I know you can do it! BTW I am more into the classic 737 than the modern ones, keep it up Jan & Friends!
  7. I love the IXEG so much, its THE most immersive plane I've ever flown not even PMDG could match up too it in sounds & especially the custom camera. The plane is almost complete & all it needs if a fully functioning FMS, however IXEG has been moving at a glacial pace and the last update was 6 months ago. I'm wondering if we will see a completed or at least near completed FMS system. As a Airbus pilot for P4D I'm used to using VNAV for everything. Any news from Jan or another dev from IXEG as to when an update to make VNAV usable on descent & complete FMC? Keep up the good work IXEG, this is your ace in the hole please help bring it to the glory it so very deserves!
  8. Ok I managed to pull it off again, what I did was insert the departure runway, then the route itself, then before activating & executing I inserted the STAR & an arrival runway, the end result is the progress page displayed the destination. I'm not sure if you need to enter the STAR before route activation to get the DEST airport showing but it seems to work for me. Hopefully waiting for the news of a V1.3 release that will complete the FMC soon she really is a fine bird it's just the FMC that kills me.
  9. Guess I was misinformed, I'm starting to think that VNAV on the 737 (at least for now) is somewhat like an advisory system used on CRJ aircraft, I'm about to start training for my Instrument Rating here at University & I use flight simulators (X-Plane/P3D) along with Navigraph to help me practice SID/STAR procedures, so it is important for me the FMC has somewhat full VNAV functionality. It's still a good plane anyways even if the FMC is not fully functional, hopefully IXEG will release an update soon. Exactly when we'll find out soon enough hopefully
  10. Haven't tried VNAV yet, Jan you said that real pilots (assuming on the 737CL) use V/S & FLCH for descent? I thought they use VNAV for descent
  11. Hmmm I know it is still a WIP but I forgot to mention in the previous post that I was able to get it to work by adding the STAR to the route during preflight, tried it again and it still didn't work. I want to know if other people have the same issue & if they did how they fixed it.
  12. Greetings As I have just moved (although I still have my old sim) from P3D to X-Plane 11 I have noticed a massive difference, now X-Plane 11 has a WAY more advanced rendering engine that allows a more realistic environment than P3D however it is missing one of the critical features which I loved so much and that was a soaked ground. Whenever it rained in FSX/P3D the ground would become shiny and would become "wet", however when it rains in X-Plane 11 there is no such effect but there is however for snow. I know it's possible in XP11 judging by the 2 pics bellow, and I have xEnviro. Not sure if it does have this effect & if it does is there anyway to enable it?
  13. Hello all Recently purchased the IXEG 737 classic since I'm a real life pilot (PPL, working towards my ATP) and because of this I'm a massive hardcore systems simmer. I do checklists according to the real FCOM & the 737 by IXEG is my PMDG for me for X-Plane. Now the IXEG 737 isn't perfect (nothing ever really is) the FMC does not have full functionality and I can live with that for now, hoping IXEG will release an update in the future which I believe they will after reading previous threads. The problem I have now is that I program the FMC according to real world procedures, inserting the coroute & completing the PERF INIT & TAKEOFF page, however it shows the LEGS on the PROGRESS PAGE but does not show the destination AIRPORT & the fuel remaining. I followed procedures from the FCOM & memory and I haven't had this issue with other aircraft either in X-Plane or P3D. Now I know the FMC is not complete (hopefully, Yet) but there must be something I missed? I don't have much experience with the 737 classic especially in X-Plane so can anyone recommend any ideas?
  14. Yup the legendary plane of x-plane.
  15. Hey guys I have the XPFW MD-80 Delta that I fly around so much. I love the plane as if it was my wife but the problem is that the doors don't open. There are animations for it in plane maker but I have no idea how to open the air stairs, cargo door, or the boarding door. I've tried everything such as slider ratio or even canopy open but I'm not getting anything. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful.
  16. I LOVE this airport, This is the main base of all my GA flights. Youve made florida come to life 3TB! Now just move onto Page Field's companion
  17. Where is it I cant find the 2nd version?
  18. 3TB it works perfectly, I tried it with my GA fleet and the airport is just PERFECT! I remember when I was 14 or 15 I flew paragon flight training, I got about 6-7 hours with a Cessna 172 Your airport makes me VERY happy
  19. THANK YOU:) I will conduct the flight and let you know how it is, wait for screenshots to be posted here!
  20. You should also make a Southwest Florida International airport scenery once you release Page field. Then Fort Myers would be complete!
  21. Thats excellent news 3TB, I cant wait for Page field to finally open Please upload it as soon as possible so I can commence charter flights because I have been waiting for a X-plane version of Page field. I remember when I flew FSX that I used Page field but it was very unrealistic. Your version however is better because this one has default runway lights and taxi lights attached to the ground unlike FSX where they float above the ground O_o The buildings is what brings this airport to life and thanks to your fencing around the airfield I wont have to worry about deer or drunks trying to get on the runway and ruin my plane. The lighting is also going to be the best thing when this is released. The control tower itself is also well done from looking at your screenshots, I hope that you continue to do this in future sceneries you make. The runways and taxiways are well done, no missing taxi lines or lights just like a true scenery developer. The base ops building is just perfect and dont worry about that T-6, I just like it the way it is now. Im pretty sure other people would say very positive things about your scenery once its release for both its realism and the fun it brings to General aviation to X-plane. Don't worry I will be sure to put this airport to good use, I will park my Challenger 300 by the base ops building because then it will look so AWESOME. If you want I can send you a screenshot once you release the scenery.Once again our GA fleet has found a perfect home with its awesome runways and buildings. But argh I CANT wait to fly your Page field scenery! need it now.......
  22. Well looks like my challenger 300 has found a home. When will this be released by the way? Also are you sure that there is a fence that covers the whole perimeter of the airport because that is the mistake that many scenery developers make is leaving an airport with no fence. Just so the deer can get in. The airport you've shown is different fortunately and the base ops building looks real and so is the Paragon flight training. You did a VERY good job with the building and to the smallest detail the sign that says "come learn to fly". The hangars for storing the planes are also well done and realistic even for x-plane. I have a very good feeling this is going to be a hit for those GA sceneries in florida. You keep up the good work Looks super realistic by the way in terms of the hangar and the night lighting and I do hope it will not have a big hit on fps. But other than that looking good. Ive been waiting for an airport like this since I started flying x-plane and now I will finally have a full airport instead of having that empty default Page Field. Keep up the good work and I hope it will be uploaded soon! "I used to be a pilot, until I took a rudder to the knee" -Capt. Marc T. Stanford
