This is what I will be flying the IXEG 733 in when it is released. Had a blast today and tonight on PilotEdge with my kids in my little 737-200 Sim. The approach into Vegas looked pretty darn real if you ask me. I made a comment jokingly on final that the controller dumped me into the approach to high hence the sink rate sink rate on approach LOL Thanks for another great day of flying on PilotEdge with my kids. My daughter was my co-pilot and my son recording. Enjoy the video, lots of cool action and radio chatter. Rob https://youtu.be/dJwXRpJ_9lU

A new video from Nils has been posted showing off flap vortices for the 737 Classic! Check it out below!

Anytime! I enjoy sharing the sim. Yes, I have done this on my own but had some invaluable input from some guys way smarter than me. I have been working on it for about 16 months probably 20hrs a week Allot of research time though and searching for info on the real parts.

Glad you all are safe!

If the IXEG is as good as it says then absolutely! The only change needed would be the EPR gets ignored and I would need to add a GPS. Cool thing is, most of my parts are from an early 737-300!

Fun to see people are starting to see signs in everything.

That is insane... I love flying at night on X-plane .. Very very real looking.. and this is extrememly real looking xD.. Amazing.

That's so cool!! How do you program the Attitude Indicator?

Fighting some crazy weather on the way into KDCA (TWA 727, KIND-KDCA) while I watch the crazy weather outside my window:

Hi Folks!, I've just finished putting together a video titled 'Sights and Sounds'. The purpose of the video is to showcase the latest version of the 737-300 project as it stands today with some sound additions, 3D model enhancements, and just all around cool effects! Work continues daily, and we can all see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully you're all as excited as we are! Enjoy!

LES Saab 340A is high tech simulator and one of the best (if not the best) aircraft for X-Plane. I am very happy to have possibilty to fly it. However, what is main immersion killer (for me personally) is the symetry of bothe engine parameters. In real life the engines are never the same, ie. they never have the same ITT at the same power output (%TQ). In reality it is usual practice to place label on on the side of worst engine ITT indicator showing difference in ITT ( for example 20°C) between both engines at the same output (eg. 70% TQ). Pilots must also perfom collection of engine data during cruise flight (TQ, ITT, NG, Np, FF, speed, alg, etc.). These data are then used for Engine Trend Monitoring program to check the deterioration trend of engines, or to reveal any hidden engine faults (HP air leakage, injectors failure, etc.). I would like to see, if it is possible to simulate, difference in power between both engines. The best model so far is A2A´s AccuSim model for FSX. Is it possible to model something similar in X-Plane?

You say you tuned & selected the ILS correctly? (I have tuned mine to 109.10MHz for the ILS Rwy 17 @ KTIW, Ident: ITIW). Did you have the correct AP MODE and SOURCE selected before intercepting the Glide path? For example did you have something like this:? FD, AP ENG, APPR & ALT. Notice NAV source selected to NAV1, NAV1, tuned and ILS ident checked. PFD showing LOC1 & ALT Active, G/S Armed Once you have intercepted the LOC the ALT lights go out. As you get ready to intercept the glide slope (within 1/2 dot) the G/S the mode should switch to ACTIVE (G/S in Green text). And the aircraft starts to decend on the G/S. You didn't say which airport, Rwy & ILS your trying to use, so are you sure the LOC your using does actually have a G/S associated with it? You also didn't tell us if you were flying or the FMS was navigating maybe using a STAR etc. before setting up for the approach? If you were using the FMS, please say what FMS navdata you were using. cessna729.

Hello Captains, I know a lot of you enjoy seeing some form of progress, so I'm providing you with a few screenshots showing off the exterior of the 737 Classic. As per usual, everything is a work in progress, but I hope you enjoy! Remember to click on the images to see a slightly larger version!

A small observation on your checklist procedure, but quite important on real life. You never put both engines running and then disconnect the GPU, because the GPU connection is below and close to RIGHT engine prop and the ground personnel may get seriously hurt or killed during operation. You have to start Left engine first and its generator, monitor left gen is producing electricity and ready (takes a few seconds) You disconnect external power on the overhead panel to transfer the load to l-gen You notify ground personnel to disconnect the GPU (hands signal, un-check the gpu on the simulation) External power available light extinguishes on the overhead panel Ground personnel make signals back to you it is safe and clear to initiate R engine startup procedure and you confirm. note: you may check real life procedure link below 04:22 L engine running, L gen reset/on, external power disconnect 04:24 Disconnect hand signal to ground personnel 04:31 external power available extinguishes (seems ground personnel disconnected the GPU) 05:22 ground personnel cleared the wing and notifies pilot, pilot confirms R engine (2) startup procedure. hope this helps
