Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic v1.33 Update Released!

[Beachdog2001]

Is there a way to set the ND to north up instead of heading up? I seem to be in heading up mode now for some reason. Can’t find a switch anywhere.

[Litjan]

Hi Beachdog,

I assume you are talking about "track up" - there is no option to have "north up" - except for the PLAN mode (we have that as well).

this has been requested a few times - appearantly a few airlines are operating with this option.

I have an issue in our gitHub with this request, but it is a fairly invasive coding effort, so I am not sure when we will get to it.

From a philosophical standpoint I can only say that flying with "track up" seems to be wrong to me - its like having an attitude indicator where the little aircraft banks, instead of staying steady in relation to the horizon and the attitude indicator banking and pitchting  (staying fixed) with the aircraft.

In my opinion, the top of the map should always be pointing where the aircraft is pointing. That way you see objects on the map at the same relative bearing as they are in real life. Imagine flying at a 20 degree crab angle, due to strong crosswind. Now you want to see the airport - on your (track up) map it is straight ahead, but if you look straight out of the window, it can´t be seen (because its 20 degrees off to the side).

Cheers, Jan

Yes, I meant track up.

Hello IXEG team,

I was doing a flight from CYYZ to KMSP and I was expecting MUSCL3 arrival with no specific runway information due to I was enroute with the Center controller; I was able to check the ATIS so runway 30L and 30R were assigned for landing, I chose 30R (runway only with no approach procedure) in order to enable the STAR. Once I changed to the Approach controller he told me to expect ILS 30L so I went to DEP/ARR menu on the MCDU but I couldnt change the approach procedure, I clicked many times on KMSP ARR but nothing happened so I ended up flying manually to the 30L.

Did I do something wrong?.

Thank you very much for the response.

Hi - can you tell me which dataset (Navigraph or Aerosoft) you are using so I can check this on my end?

Normally when you click on the ARR line-select key it will offer you ALL available runways, so I am not sure what went wrong :-(

Cheers, Jan

Hello Jan, thanks for your time.

I have the Navigraph suscription so the 737 AIRAC is updated to cycle 2009.

[Litjan]

Ok, I just tried with my navigraph dataset and it works as expected.

Here on the first pic I selected the MUSCLE3 with ILS30R and the TRTL approach transition:

 

Then (assuming I got instructions to change to ILS30L) I clicked on DEP/ARR then on ARR (next to KMSP) and got this page:

Now all I had to do was click next to ILS30L and it worked fine...

Maybe you can "drytest" this again on your side and tell me the sequence of events (or even better make a short video) so I can see if its a genuine bug, an error with the dataset (those happen quite a bit) or something unexpected you did?

Cheers, Jan

May you please try just selecting the MUSCL3 arrival with runway 30R (only runway, no ILS approach)?, then try to change to ILS 30L, that is what I did.

[Litjan]

Sure - I just tried it - selected MUSCLE3 and only the runway 30R, it looks like this:

When I click on DEP ARR and then next to KMSP ARR I get:

 

Picking ILS30L works as expected for me at that point...

 

[jarisaizprua]

Well it worked also for me now but I'm on ground just checking the changes, I have to check it while enroute.

Thank you Jan.

Yeah, sometimes the code is weird like that - it could very well be that it somehow choked up in that particular situation when you were flying. If that ever happens again, please let us know - with as many details as possible (i.e. route entered, wether route was closed or had DISCO´s etc...)

Thanks, Jan

Well, you are the Captain. Just tell them to get the *** out of your airplane! ;-)

Increasing the numbers is - as unfortunately we now experience at my airline - not quite so easy.

Any news regarding the 737-300 Development? We've never heard anything since the release of 1.33.... Is the aircraft still being worked on as it was since the updates from version 1.30?

 

 

Thanks

It's only been a month and a half.

[smokey43]

     Yes it's only been a month or so, I been really pleased that my favorite airliner is back to being loved again.

[ArthurSG006]

How is the development of the next update? I know it's difficult to talk about ETA, but are we close yet? Maybe this month?

Thanks!

It's ready when it's ready.

What Cameron said. And definitely not this month. Events in Texas certainly threw a big wrench into the wheel. It is really hard to do good development work in a cold house with a computer that has no electricity.

Keep up the good work IXEG, every time I rejoin with Xplane, your aircraft is logging the hours.

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if anyone still got a working link to the latest version of Gizmo64 compatible with X-Plane 10. I like to fly IXEG 737 in X-Plane 10 for its great flight model, especially when I want to hand fly it. Unfortunately the version downloaded by the 1.33 installer doesn't work and is not detected by the sim even if I choose the X-Plane 10 option and point to its root folder as required.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Good Day Dear Developers!
Please tell me if work is underway to improve and update the ixeg 737 after the MU2 project, as mentioned earlier?
At what stage of development is the ixeg737 project and how long will it all take?
Thank you for the answers

P.S. Will I live to see the next product update?

[Litjan]

1.) Not yet (MU2 project is not finished)

2.) The 737 project is done about 95%, I would say. Most notably some FMS work (VNAV, Holds) and 3D work remains.

3.) It is unknown how long it will all take.

4..) That is unknown, but I hope so for you!
