Solving bugs

[amoassessi]

Hello 

 

I purchased IXEG B737 classic from your website about a month ago and I fly with it!

 

Currently I’m Cade pilot and also passed theoretical exams of type rating Boeing 737 classic .

 

I search too many add on internet after buying and testing of B737 classic like :

captain sim b737 on P3D v5 , 

Wilco PIC b737 classic on fs2004 and fsx

Aero fly simulator B737 - 500

 I got the IXEG is the best ! (But have some bugs) 

 

The new one add on for MSFS2024 isn’t release yet (CSS B737-500) I didn’t try it !

 

At end I want to help to solved and develop IXEG !

 

Some bugs exist in :

 

1- EHSI : when you select ILS or VOR frequency on Aft electronic panel (no matter on VOR 1 or VOR 2) the needle on EHSI isn’t work (in RMI) work correctly 

 

2- when use light test (on Preliminary procedure) the bell is also activated!

 

3- on FMC in copilot side in ident page when you want enter position it is not working!

 

4- WX reader switch in copilot side is not working!

 

Best regards

Hi!

3 and 4 are known (and mentioned in the "Things not working in..." post I made. The others are new to me - I will test that at home, but I think you are doing something incorrectly.

The bell only activates if you do the fire warning test on the center pedestal fire warning panel. This is correct and the real plane does it, too.

The light test is not part of the preliminary procedure (enabled with the BRT/DIM/TST switch), and it should not trigger the bell.

The VOR needles on the EHSI should work, make sure you have the button on that enables the arrows and that the VOR can be received.

I made mistake about preliminary procedures ! Light test is in preflight procedure by captain!

I added mango sounds pack for IXEG b737 maybe it is bugs of it !

anyway in light test should check only light not bell sound.

 

and for EHSI there isn’t no bottom for active or deactivate of needle! (It is only for RMI ) also in this model of b737-300 for VOR/ILS frequency settings only two knobs exist! (No Auto or manual mode design ) So I’m sure needle is not working!

[Litjan]

I am not sure if you are using the IXEG or some other aircraft??

Here is the LIGHT TEST button, if you activate it, no sound is played:

 

Here is the Firewarning test switch, if you toggle it to the right, the warning lights illuminate and the bell sounds:

 

Here is the EFIS CONTROL PANEL with the VOR/ADF pushbutton, if you enable it, you can see RMI indications on the EHSI map:

For EHSI I made mistake the needle was for ADF I expected it is for VOR!

But for light test I really have problem I upload the video for more details! 

[Litjan]

Huh, that is weird - I don´t get the bell at all when I use that switch. Maybe a plugin is interfering?

According to FCOM, they are ADF pointers

Here is my Plugin list!

What happens if you don't have the Mango sound pack installed?

Hi, glad it’s been mentioned because actually I’ve noticed too that since installing the Mango sound pack the lights check activates the bell. It’s an error on their part, not from the IXEG team, I recall prior to the Mango sound pack it was working fine. It’s a small bug for an excellent sound pack so I just deal with it.

Thanks for confirming that, @SeaHawk14!

It highlights a problem that not only we at IXEG but also Laminar Research has: Buggy add-ons that lead the user to report a "bug" to us (or Laminar).

I wish that everyone  would test their X-Plane (and our IXEG) without any other addons possibly interfering before coming to us (or Laminar) crying BUG!!!!
