Back to business - started to set up 7-segment LED displays

You are doing something wrong. The icing effects in X-Plane are definitely there. I just tried it. I get a marked increase in drag, and a marked decrease in lift. I attach a picture - try to display the same data on your screen, then hunt for icing conditions: Fly inside clouds with a temperature just below freezing. Careful: You must have a TAT below freezing, not an OAT. Also too cold - no icing. Snow won´t ice. All this is realistic. Also: Don´t have anti-ice equipment running (some planes might have this on by default). Jan

No Voodoo It is called reverse engineering. We use information from many sources; Real FDR data, Performance engineering manuals on both aircraft and engine (the real engineering stuff, not regular pilot operating manuals), and many hours in the big full motion simulators testing edge of the envelope situations. Finally, we have our real 737CL pilots do quality assurance tests on the feel and numbers inside the envelope. We have also "tuned" XP's flightmodel in many areas to get where we want. So we know (and can prove) that we are extremely close inside the envelope, and very close on the edges. Together with XP's superior flightmodel, this will give you a very unique experience handflying this aircraft. And actually, it will also dramatically improve realistic operations on autopilot. Your vertical profiles on climb and descend will be very realistic, engine performance in the entire envelope etc. So the "voodoo" is a combination of having the best information available, engineers that can understand it, programmers that can code it, and pilots that can test it, and offcourse the best sim platform M

Yes, it is stricken from the list. Other stuff will be announced later on.

Winner is both! One is officially and the other is soon to be my two most favourite most flown X-Plane aircraft! Well done IXEG!...much appreciated!

De-dusting DC-3 and flying around Sweden.

Southwest had many 737-200, when the old planes phased out, there are a lot of 737-200 pilots. Instead of providing a massive amount of training to the EFIS, they just covered the new Autopilot functions and Autothrottle (737OG does not have AT) and marked as INOP. Pilots are not allowed to use Autothrottle (not sure if they still do) and VNAV. Only basic Autopilot functions. Even the DUs in some of the NG aircraft are displaying "Analogy instruments".

Thanks for the replying! Nice job IXEG team, all the details of the aircraft and systems are perfectly programmed and modeled, this is gonna be the most accurate simulation addon ever Can't wait to fly it.

welcome to flightsimming where development spans several generations Do you have kids? maybe they can come tell you how it is, when you are in the elderly home.

This is in General Discussion, criteria...Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board. If this topic doesn't interest you there are other topics you can go and gaze at.

For those who wonder what they look like

Update 20/11/2015 Another productive week Updated all the sounds (internal an external) and they sound amazing! Soon Ill upload a short hop showing the current status, but definitely getting there. Also, had a chance to work on the night textures. It's not 100% complete, but I'm satisfied with the result

Just another small update since the Wunderbaum added: got some time again to re-bake some of the cockpit textures and add some goods here and there, like clock, blinds, thermometer, etc. Now the overall feeling in the cockpit starts to resemble to the real thing There are still lot to do before the release, but I'm on track to finish the plane before Christmas

I just had some time to continue adding extra goodies to cockpit like clock, temp meter, suncovers, etc... and of course my "signature" Wunderbaum
