DarkKnight1083 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Hey i was just asking myself if we get the option to choose between the two different engine gauges you have in your 737. Since i dont really like the analog ones it would be awesome if we can change them as we like =)sorry if that has already been answered =D Quote
jettojig Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Yeah, from what I've heard I'm fairly certain you can switch between analog and digital on-the-fly! Quote
Jah Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Just help me out, can you post an image what the difference is exactly. You don't mean the NG cockpit right? Quote
DarkKnight1083 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 Nope. Those would be the analog ones : http://www.b737.org.uk/images/engineinsts_200adv.jpgand those are the digital ones: http://lessonslearned.faa.gov/BritishMidlands092/displays_small.jpg Quote
Morten Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) You can switch layout on the fly... Edited November 22, 2015 by Morten 7 Quote
Jah Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Ahh there we go.. thank you! Really cool feature! Quote
SwissCyul Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Sweet!! This aircraft is simply a dream come true!! Quote
Wycliffe Barrett Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Loving the analogue readouts Quote
alpha12125 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Awesome shots, with the analog guages you really start to realize that the 733 is not that far away from the 732, with the digital panel you tend to forget that Quote
ilias.tselios Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) You can switch layout on the fly...This is great, but make it as an option when you load the aircraft to select which layout you want to fly. Probably by choosing which airline (livery?) you are going to fly, get the actual layout. But not on the fly. This plane is going to be the epitome of realism, so please consider my suggestion.

Lufthansa for example uses/used both layouts so making this changable on the fly is certainly the best option in my opinion. Quote

Probably by choosing which airline (livery?) you are going to fly, get the actual layout. But not on the fly. This plane is going to be the epitome of realism, so please consider my suggestion. I see your point. It is one of those decisions between ultra-realism and ease of access. I think, however, that restricting the choice is a bit too harsh. It is not like either gauge form is "easy" and the other one "hard", so there is no unfair advantage of one over the other. Yes, switching gauges or winglets while at 37.000 feet is not realistic, but neither is changing the weather, weight or time of day (and X-Plane lets you do that). And changing gauges and winglets is just "optical" change, no functionality change. We don´t allow access to the "ground services" menu while the plane is in motion, I think that would be too unrealistic. But for ultrarealism regarding changing of aircraft equipment during flight: Don´t do it! Cheers, Jan 3 Quote

Cheers, Jan I agree with you Jan, it is far easier to have a single .acf and switching things on the fly than it is to have multiple for simple things like this. In sumulator world, the realism has to come from the user too, we have to trust ourselves not to mess with other variables on the fly so we should here too - imagine having to completely re-load X-Plane just to get a different time, or weather pattern!

Lansch Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Which of These Engine Gauges uses Lufthansa? Quote

kpregira Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 I really like the analog gauges, I think they add to the realism. I can't wait to buy this plane. I can't believe no one else has developed it before now. I know FlyJSim has the 737-200, and it's one of my favorites, but I really want a FMS and from the looks of this one I am very impressed.

Litjan Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Which of These Engine Gauges uses Lufthansa? To my knowledge all of Lufthansa´s 737 Classics (-300, - 400, -500) only used the analog mechanical instruments. I can confirm this from 1996 to present day, and I don´t think they had any EIS versions before that... Jan Quote
