Glad that worked for you! Let me know if XPRealistic plays along (it should).

FYI, Put XPRealistic back in and all is good

I give up for now.. I put download real world weather on and back to square 1 again.. I cant see anything out of the ordinary on msi afterburner and on plugin admin so I don't know what the problem is. I think I'll wait till the Latest Gizmo is out and future updates.. Not gonna lie, bit bummed out v.v . 

Rig rundown just in case cos it is a dinosaur

It would be nice to add the IXEG 737 to SkunkCrafts Updater so automatically the plane can be updated online.

Make sure you run in a low resolution (max 1920x1080) and not at maximum texture resolution. You are probably hitting your VRAM limit or CPU bottleneck...

So we only really need it for the "Ready to Fly" state? That's understandable at least. If we use one of the other two as default state then it doesn't matter if the box is checked or not? Thanks.

FYI @Pils....this release really is 'foundational' with an eye on moving forward.  Indeed we've had to strip out a few things to make way for more remodeling.

Part of our roadmap is to not only focus on the aircraft proper, but also develop more informational resources, i.e. a web-based documentation system to augment the written stuff, similar to the MU2....so there will be an 'IXEG website' where we can put out this kind of information, documentation and other value added content for users to access.

NOW...will folks read the stuff we provide then?   who knows   but we're going to be putting it out there anyhow.

Anyone else think the pitch on takeoff is still really over sensitive?

Also do we need experimental flight model on

One has to relearn a bit how to rotate the 737 - a very gently input to start the rotation, followed by more "pull back" at 10 degrees and then relax again as the plane climbs out.

Also make sure you set the trim correctly according to your center of gravity (use the MAC% from the X-Plane Weight&Balance GUI).

There is no such thing as experimental flight model in X-Plane 12.

Would be a great resource for pilots who wish to educate themselves and to point people to, I think. I also like the 'things not going to be in vX.X' post as it makes it transparent about what to expect, now and in the future

What I did was start a flight with the 737 which worked fine, then went back to the main menu and started the flight from a different location, which then fails to load the aircraft properly because of the Level 2 authentication failure.

On my system at least, even with no plugins enabled this error appears 100% reproducible.

Same here.

Absolutely! most recent addons use it, it simplifies updating process, so why not IEXG use it too? I won't break activation checks... just saying.

If I reinstall the IXEG the installer will download the necessary or available updates, correct?

Pat

The installer not that simple, it uninstalls the previous ver than installs the newer one, i assume that is to ensure a clean update.

[jenijek]

I think that the installer that is used in ixeg and other developer products is the best option for installing and updating the product. Not everyone has decent and high-quality internet that can be updated online and through “skuns up”

X-Aviation have their own ways of doing things. The developers won’t be getting involved with SkunksCrafts to use theirs.

I didn't had much time to test but I found what looks like some issues on pitch oscillation due continuos  trim when AP on.

You're welcome.  we wanted to have this up and running prior....but in the heat of battle,  it slipped through.  Hopefully when this 'infrastructure remodel" thing is done,  information will be more cohesive and intuitive to find.   Eventually we'll have a more comprehensive docs section for the IXEG similar to the MU2 (example below)

Thanks for the update. Some wear-in is expected with every release. No worries. Appreciate that you guys have been on here, keeping us updated. For me that is the most important. Bugs will sort themselves eventually. IXEG was my first payware back in 2017 and I'm grateful that it is being given a new lease on life in XP12

[rafapiloto195]

Note to everyone: This "older " XUIPC version posted here to make IXEG work,  f*&@¨%!@$!@s up big time with the default A333 and the A332 mod....make it impossible to start the engines....

I dont think you understand how the skunkcraft updater works, it looks for altersd, missing and updated files, and only replaces deletes as necessary. Means you may only need to download 300 meg for an update than the full 1.5gb. Its far more efficient especially for those on low bandwidths. But it means your tied to another developer and another cost. No reason why Gizmo couldnt do the same thing.

[S3rg1o]

What bothers me the most is reading "license invalid" on Gizmo console ! I never had such a problem with any legaly purchased software... it's really frustrating! I hope XA figures it out! I don't think it is an issue to be solved by IXEG...

Gizmo currently has no role in the (un)installation of X-Aviation published software, so that would be a huge change in its scope.

This is what I am dealing with. Happens everytime. Removed plugins, uninstalled 737, reinstalled. Also seeing the Level-2 check fail each time. I click retry and we're done.

This has been resolved. I had barely used XP12 so I did a full XP12 dump and fresh install.

Appears to be okay now. I was also having issues with the DC3 several days before the 737 release but I wasn't getting this error. DC3 appears to be okay also.

I did try the ol' remove plugins technic and uninstalls/reinstalls of the 737 beforehand. No joy.

That was my solution for a barely used XP12.
