Hi Ben, it would be great if you do that. Of course the windows installer won't be such an issue. I was even thinking that a virtual machine windows can be used for that. I use virtualbox win10 frequently for the sake of pfpx, vatspy and fs global real weather and my xplane folder is visible and writable from the virtual machine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

mgeiss has it right - don´t arm the A/T until lining up (for this very reason - it has happened in real life, too!)... To cancel the modes, FD´s off then on SHOULD work... if it doesn´t please post so in the support section! Thanks, Jan

The CG is not given in the ground service pop up menu, but has to be set (default is 20% MAC). I think HerrSchwarz's question is more pointing at "what CG would be realsitic for a GW of X tons". To illustrate that, I have emptied the aircraft of all payload and fuel to demonstrate that the CG still points at 20% (unless you change it - cf attached screenshots). If I remember correctly, this was already discussed during development phase - there's a thread about load mgmt somewhere, concluding that IXEG will not take care of the load management, since this is normally not the pilot's job. Remains the (very valid) question what is a good value to set... The CG is not directly depending on the GW. When the aircraft is empty (no fuel, no PAX, no cargo) it does have a distinct EW and CG (which is individual per aircraft, not by type, so usually you get this information alongside with the aircraft from the manufacturer). Adding fuel normally changes this in a characteristic way (since fuel is normally always distributed the same way when fuelling - wing tanks first and balanced, then center tank). So fuelling to an amount of x kgs should always result in the same CG (as long as there's no other payload). As soon as you change the ZFW (i. e. add PAX or cargo), the story starts becoming interesting: normally the CG impact is calculated based on seat row population and assignment of cargo to the FWD and AFT cargo compartments. Since you don't have most of this information (neither the neutral CG, nor the fuelling impact nor the redistribution of PAX and cargo), you cannot calculate the correct CG (even if you have a load mgmt software for a 733 at hand), you can only set the CG to something convenient. Something resulting in a TO trim of between 2 and 5 (i. e. valid TO trim range) is technically ok - just keep in mind that the CG is travelling forwards during flight (fuel is being stored behind the CG), so if you already take off with a very low CG (e. g. 4%) you will have a very "heavy nose" on flare... The proposed standard value (20%) is well chosen by IXEG - althoug you will rarely have such a nicely balanced aircraft, this hits quite the middle of the allowed TO trim range.

Yea. Would be nice if the aircraft was in the state you left it in. COM/NAV freq, fuel, switches etc etc..

Or just remember how much fuel you had from last flight would be cool!

Hi, quick info for EFASS users: The Flightplan-Export plugin for the IXEG is ready. How to install: Start EFASS Click File -> Addon Downloader Double-Click the plugin "Export to IXEG 737" to download it Click away all those messages and restart EFASS Export-Path for flightplans: <X-Plane-Folder>\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic\coroutes Loading the flightplan: Go to the RTE-Page of the FMC and enter the Departure-ICAO and the Destination-ICAO without space into the Co-Rte-Field. Example EDDLDTTA ALWAYS USE THE SAME AIRAC CYCLE FOR EFASS AND THE 737! ALSO THE SAME PUBLISHER (NAVIGRAPH/AEROSOFT). OTHERWISE YOU MAY GET A MESSAGE LIKE "AIRPORTS MISSING" Cheers, Cosmo

Can any of you talented individuals do a couple of Canadian Liveries "Aeh"

Would anybody be interested in making a Flybe livery?

Hello together, I was wondering why my Saitek radio panels work perfectly for NAV 1 but not for NAV 2. If I change the NAV 2 frequency on my Saitek radio panel, the frequency does not changed in the IXEG NAV 2 panel. So I took a closer look on the datarefs and what is happening in the background and found a difference on updating values for NAV 1 and 2. I set NAV 1 & NAV 2 in the IXEG Cockpit to frequency 111.50 On the datarefs I can see following situation. sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz = 11150 ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00001 = 11150. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00010 = 1115. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00100 = 111. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_01000 = 11. Then I changed the dataref sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz to 11365. Everything is fine and the frequency in the NAV 1 panel of the IXEG gets updated to 113.65 The datarefs show exactly that change: sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz = 11365 ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00001 = 11365. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00010 = 1136. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00100 = 113. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_01000 = 11. Then I did the same For NAV 2 (sim/cockpit/radios/nav2_freq_hz). However, the NAV 2 panel of the IXEG does not change. It stays at 111.50 If you take a closer look on the datarefs, you can see that the IXEG internals were not updated automatically: sim/cockpit/radios/nav2_freq_hz = 11365 ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00001 = 11150. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00010 = 1115. ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00100 = 111. For me, it looks like there is a different logic behind NAV 1 and NAV 2 that causes the problem with the saitek panels. Maybe I am totally wrong but maybe you can have a look at it. It is not a priority for sure. However, it would be nice if you could add this to your list of things that need some attention :-) Many thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi, I would just like to say a big thank you to IXEG for letting me fly there wonderful 737-300 ( that's what it feels like im doing) In between all the bug reports and small issues I have flown for several hours now. Fine tuning my X-Plane to get the best performance. I have flown many circuits, routes, approaches and landings each one feeling like I was flying a living breathing airplane. I love FSX and a certain other 737 and J41 ( maybe IXEG can do a turbo prop ) I love the FS2Crew and VOXATC experience makes it feel part of living environment but I have now been spoilt with the feeling and flight model X-Plane and IXEG give me. Feel very bored in my FSX planes now! Great job Thank you Tony

Last post for this .......... I dunno whether to carry on laughing or start to cry lmao KSFO KSEA For some weird reason i decided to try to see if i could use heading to do a quick sightseeing tour around the bay, got a bit sidetracked Went awol without pausing the sim, came back thinking nothing about it, was way out to sea ! Back on course so now i know i can use heading whwner i want without messing things up Well, fiancee watching the lovely scenery/clouds on final to ksea Master Alerm went off, franticly checking i see Fuel light on, instantly dawned on me my sightseeing detour had used quite a lot of fuel !! Dohh After several master resets i got electric light up Dang it, if i didn't run out about 3nm from the rwy hehe Ohh well, was frustratingly funny Next run, no sightseeing for me roflmao Tony EDIT : Forgot to say fiancee was willing the old bird to glide but alas even her profanities weren't enough

Flight Directors are for wimps .

Thumbs up for storing the state of the beast ,-)

Could someone please take a crack at Air new Zealand?

Lauda Air "Bob Marley" livery Boeing 733 IXEG View File The second generation of Lauda Air jets after -200 was the 300. This particular jet was named Bob Marley. Reg: OE-ILF Submitter Niilo Submitted 04/28/2016 Category Heavy Metal Livery For Click Here For Aircraft X-Plane Version(s)

Thanks Everyone. I'll modify my routine to keep the auto throttle off until I'm lining up. @Litjan I'll try the reset process out tonight. I've heard tell of a "Southwest Taxi" but doing 90 kts was a little excessive.

I cracked it !!! Just did KLAS KSAN Short n sweet run I remembered to tune to 275deg for the landing approach lol Went manual for landing, was way too fast, but, i didn't end up much past the runway tarmac and was short of water, a ditch/drainage cut i think it is hehe Now for a longer route to keep me learning Tony

Our updates are generally driven by what customers are asking for, but I don't want to go into details at such an early stage! I do have a couple of new features in mind for a future update already, though.

We check specifically for whether the X-Plane dataref sim/cockpit/electrical/landing_lights_on is on or not. So I would guess that the IXEG is not setting that with the inboard landing lights. Probably best to take this to the IXEG forums.

I would compare both settings for some time. More fps doesn't necessarily mean a smoother sim. I am back to 1/2 refresh rate, as it gives the smoothest experience on my system. YMMV.

Thanks, that was it. Back at ~60fps

Do you sport a 60hz Screen? In your Nvidia Settings it says: Vertical sync: Adaptive (half refresh rate) That would explain why you're locked to 30fps!

when you open the aircraft menus on the left, or pressing IDENT on the FMC says 1.0 or 1.0.1? if 1.0 then you need to pull up the email from x-aviation it contains the instructions to install the HFIX

Hi, yes, this was removed last second (after I did the tutorial) due to some issues... we will hopefully get it back, but it´s also easy to just use a text editor to make your COROUTE... Jan

I registered to say thanks for this wonderful aircraft and speedy update. It handles so much better in the taxi phase now. You guys really have 'completed' XPlane for me with the 737-300, amazing job, well done. Looking forward to future updates and enhancements.

And DONT enter PLAN fuel, as I see many doing... It disables the automatic function of calculating actual weight form ZFW+ fuel on board! Jan

Yep, that would be the outcome... we really can´t take credit for it, though - Laminar Research can ;-) Cheers, Jan

We made some progress on O'Hare airport! Enjoy

Well there is a horn cutoof button close to the right side of the throttle on the pedestral, but i don't know if it will cut that specific sound

I would like to offer my congratulations to both X-Aviation and IXEG. The 737 Classic is a brilliantly realised aircraft with systems depth and accuracy which I have certainly never experienced in any flight simulation software. Given the level of pre-release expectations from your customers I think you have all performed admirably in releasing such a fine product. The superb level of after-sales support you are providing and the efficient manner in which the current update has been delivered is something which places you right at the top of the heap in comparison to other developers. Congratulations again and I wish you continued success in the future.

How about you give me a few months to recoup my investment of time, energy and the rest that went into this thing? The code builds, it just takes time and energy that is needed elsewhere to make this viable. That said. Even if I do publish a Linux plugin in future you will still be faced with the fact that X-Aviation only publishes Installers for Mac and Windows. In theory you will be able to install on the other OS and move the folder around. This is a trivial task by Linux admin standards. Hopefully in the future I will be able to justify the cost of a dedicated custom built PC rig that will be more suited to Linux and Windows. At the moment the only machine I have with any power is an iMac and the sound drivers break in Linux. Be nice, please. And we'll try not to make _this_ thread get hostile. Deal?

From first sight: You seem to be a bit fast, but maybe you are high on weight. Also you are a bit high, the VASI are all white. Try to be at 50 ft at the threshold and look outside! During the final moments your scan should be "airspeed-touchdown markers". Your flare is a bit hard, flare slower. I try to fly the plane level at 2-5 ft, the decreasing airspeed will do the rest. And don't get fixed on reaching 5° pitch, raise the nose by about 2.5-3° depending on your pitch during approach. There is also a description on how to do it in the handbooks. And don't worry if you don't do a soft landing. Most important is, that it's in the touchdown zone, if you can't make it then do a go-around and try again! Last, but not least... do a dual-channel autopilot approach and watch how the AP does it. :-)

We will think about making your choice persistent - but remember: No plane ever crashed because it carried too much fuel (except maybe Lindbergh almost on takeoff...) Jan

It is a warning. "Your throttle is at idle and your gear is not down! Are you sure this is what you want?" Happy landings, Jan

Hi folks, Here is a link to resources I have gathered over the past year or so which will help you fly this wonderful bird. https://spideroak.com/browse/share/breadwild/Saab_340A_Resources/340a%20Resources/

I'm happy with the new plane. The cockpit is a total win for me, I like the move away from physical instruments to electronic. We live in the 21st century, and while backup is important, you shouldn't fill the cockpit with mostly backup-worthy material. I love how Boeing found an effective hull design with the 727 and stuck with it. On the other hand, there are flying sausages (Airbus) that seem to all look completely different from one another, and none are particularly aesthetic.
