Madrid to Leon. UHD Spain.

Hi guys! Over the past 4 years, I've racked up thousands of hours in another company's Boeing 737 Next Generation simulation. I'm familiar with the 737NG inside and out, the quirks, the bugs, the flight dynamics, the (engine) performance...it's all just familiar to me. I bought this wonderful product and I have to say, coming from an NG, I felt right at home. Started her up as I would normally with absolutely no issue. She flies gracefully with that familiar stability of the NG but with a little bit of its own personality. Loving the classic instrument panel -- I personally have always enjoyed a little bit of steam mixed in with my technology, and the 737 Classic, 757, and 767 aircraft fit this perfectly. I'm happy to have this in my 737 aircraft, and it's even better that everything else under the hood works just the same as the venerable Next Generation. =] Now, if I had to make any suggestions to make this product a little bit better, I would kindly suggest the developer add a shortcut to the altimeter to sync the QNH setting between captain and first officer. The only bug I have to report is a major stutter when changing the Cost Index inflight. (Actually, anything that involves changing performance parameters or anything that requires the EXEC button to be pressed afterward causes a major stutter...) Otherwise, I'm in love. Currently taking N654SW as flight 1152 from Las Vegas to Chicago-Midway. Thank you IXEG! Keep up the amazing work! Hoping for a SWA-style CRT delete someday

Thanks for the nice words, Devrim! The pressurizatin problems SHOULD be fixed for the next update - as the temperature control (I learned to avoid the word WILL in this context...) Jan

Air-Child IXEG 737 Classic Livery View File Initial version of my Air-Child VA livery. This livery models the only 737-300 on the ACH fleet, SE-JOK "Johann Olav Koss". Please note: I consider this livery as a rather basic version, I just threw the ACH colors, logo and decals at the paint kit provided by IXEG (with some minor adjustments). There are still a few rough edges (e. g. the struts on the radome, rudder leading edge etc.). For me this will do, however if somebody with better PhotoShop skills would like to have a go, drop me a PM and I fill find a way to share the PSD files.

Welcome to EDDL

Today I did my 30th hour of flight according to my logbook,and only had experienced one problem (but now I know it was caused by consecutive flight), so It´s possible. I don´t know if it's good luck or what,but I'm having the best experience with Xplane I've ever had.

Would it please be possible to make these optional if you decide to implement it ? I don't mind at all that some parts don't cast shadows (in fact I didnt even notice:-)) but what I ABSOLUTELY LOVE about the 737 (among other things) is the amazingly smooth FPS I get with this aircraft. I would even go as far to say it's the best performance of any payware aircraft I own (and I own plenty), let alone a complex one like 737. This model has absolutely beatiful FPS and for me high FPS always trumps graphical eyecandy.

You will find that in flying, we have plenty of techniques to remember things. During my military flying there were so many acronyms. Though these are more NG(BBJ) driven, I put together this list to assist some of the new 737 guys. I've attached a file also.

HDG SEL, etc.) Planned Descent Point • Timing -- Approx. 10 seconds for every 100’ of altitude to lose • Distance -- Divide HAT by 300’. This is the distance to start descent from the end of the runway. Enroute Descent Path Planning • Build a waypoint 40 NM track distance from the landing runway with 240/10000 inserted for Speed/Altitude. - AND/OR - Use the fix page and put a 40 NM circle around the runway (or FAF) and plan to cross the circle at 240/10000 for a straight-in arrival. • When planning an enroute descent to radar vectors to final it can be difficult to determine how far out you will be vectored and how soon you should begin your descent. Request a descent at a distance that will allow a constant 1500 fpm descent. To determine this descent point: • Load the expected approach using the FMS DEP/ARR page • Load the FAF or OM point/altitude on the descent page at 3R. • You can monitor the V/S as you approach this point. When the V/S approaches 1500 request descent. Even if the descent is not granted immediately, you will have a very good target descent rate when ATC permits the descent. This technique provides a constant descent that mirrors our constant climb to cruise profile. Descent Profile • 3.5:1 (Miles : Altitude) • For every 50 Kts of wind +/- 2 Miles • Losing 10 KIAS Takes 1 NM 10,000’ check during descent (10,000’ AGL for higher field elevations) (FLAAPS) • F-uel Pumps (Ctr Tank management per alternate operating procedures) • L-anding Lights -- EXTENDED/ON (consider 18,000’ in high-traffic areas) • A-irspeed -- decelerate to 250 • A-PU -- On/as desired/WX considerations • P-ressurization -- set for landing field elevation • S-eatbelt (double ding by going on/off/wait 1 sec/on) Cat II/III ILS (ABCD) • A-PU -- On • B-rake Setting • C-at II/III ILS Procedures • A -- Approach Brief • A -- Alert/Decision height callouts • A -- Altimeter bugs (radio and barometric) • D-epart runway plan (How will you taxi to park -- SMGCS?)

THX for this. The OAT temperature doesn't use a slash for its entry and that's what my code is choking on. I did test for "Characters", I simply never tried a slash Fixed -tkyler

Here is a friendly suggestion for those who can live without deferential braking. Define two keys for hold regular and max braking, ive changed x-planes default "b" and "v" from "toogle" to "hold" In saitek's "smart" something software set left and right toe to use "bands". Ive set mine like this: 0-15% - no input 15-95% - key b (hold regular braking) 95-100% - key v (max braking) Remember to activate your profile. Sent from my SM-T211 using Tapatalk

I think they will create an update just for you within the next few seconds... :-) Greetings, Sebastian

Same procedure as before - KSAN visual approaches - got a picture this time, though...

Dude, first of all, you posted in the general part of the forum. Go to the support part for better help. Also, im sure the IXEG team is sleeping or not available right now. Do you also have any plugins? And can you please show us a video of the LNAV and VNAV not working. I've never heard of this error before. You also need to give us more information rather than the LNAV and VNAV aren't working.

prog page is wip

As a previous user of FSX and PMDG, i can totally say that X-plane is way better then FSX. What it was missing was a PMDG level aircraft.And this plane certainly fills that missing part. Sure it still has a few bugs. But taken account what i have experienced so far, it is a well 75 dollars spent. Watching the development stages since the last 2 years and the devotion i saw from the developers, it is magnificent. I will keep supporting IXEG for what they are trying to achieve for the simulation community. And I am pretty sure that they will eventually solve these little bugs, which are in fact small problems with FMC. Since the last 1.02 update i only have issues with pressurisation problems at cruise altitude and when you switch to standby mode it is all cleared. (don't forget to push horn cut out though) Thank you for this lovely aircraft. I respect for all your efforts and dedication to make something more beautiful. Keep up the lovely work.

Received this email today from Tanguy. Awesome photo, so I thought I'd share it (with permission) I'm a B737 pilot with more than 1500h on B737/300/400/500W and wanna congrat IXEG for the amazing product you created. Im Very impresed with the fidelity. Still some minor bugs and fix but its awesome. Attached is a pic for you guys. Kind Regards! Tanguy

Route to IXEG FMC View File This is a quick and dirty Windows Console application i made in order to create Company Routes for the IXEG B737-300. To get company routes which you can open by the FMC you could also use a simple text editor, however it was a tedious process so i decided to do this converter. All you have to do is to copy the route you are going to fly to the clipboard, only its waypoints and airways like this for example "XENAK UM985 LEDRI UL140 ALAMU DCT TEGRI UL605 NEKUL", then run the "route to ixeg fmc.exe" which will now ask you for the ORIGIN and Destination Airport (4-Letter ICAO Format in CAPITALS for each), once you entered those its done and there should be a coroute file ready to be opened by the FMC of the IXEG B737-300 If your ORIGIN is, as in this example, LROP and your Destination is LTBA just enter LROPLTBA into the "CO ROUTE" line of the FMC and the route will be loaded. But first of all for setting it up you must check and enter the location of your IXEG Coroute file folder in the Settings.ini of the application. Mine is "D:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/X-Plane 10/Aircraft/X-Aviation/IXEG 737 Classic/coroutes/" so i entered it as a default. Also be carefull when you copy your route to the clipboard not to include any Airport, Runway, Flight Level, Sid, Star, Transition or anything else other than Waypoints and Airways (DCT and DIRECT is acceptable), it also has to be in CAPITAL letters same as the ORIGIN and Destination.

Would anybody be interested in making a Flybe livery?

to open/close the window just clic on the window manipulator, no need to drag. To open the window the cabin must not be pressurized. If you are starting the aircraft "ready to fly" the cabin will be pressurized ready for takeoff, but due to the time it takes to presurize if you load the aircraft and quickly clic the window it will open, but this is just trick. The important thing here is, cabin pressurized no window opening, cabin unpressurized you can manipulate the window. If you start the aircraft "ready to fly" but you want to open the window to ventilate the cockpit a bit or to listen the engines music during taxing, just go to the overhead panel (the big panel above your head), right down side (just above light switches strobe, anti collision, wing, etc) and toggle pressurization switch from FLT to GRD mode. Do not forget to set it back to FLT mode before takeoff. Hope this helps

Yes turning off Windows Defender's scan of X-Plane folder works great. Surely in the long run there must be a way to have the plugin not hit the file system so hard (I am guessing that is the issue) so that Windows Defender doesn't conflict, but for now it works fine this way. :-)

Heya, Very Yummy Thankyou so much Tony

Hiya Celis, Well i can't comment on it to help you as i'm new myself Still looks a nice landing Best is for me, i did a landing at ENBR days ago, to me i think i was like 75% realistic, had what i think were the correct lights, had sorted my flaps/speed in fmc, set landing rwy altitude, from watching other vids on yt and Jans tut vids, i think my flaps down timing was on the ball Then i hit fraps key, err, didn't have it loaded lol But, fun is fun is fun as i say Learning is easier if you enjoy Tony ps: don't worry about posting pics or vids in my posts, i need all the help i can get hehe

Hi, fellow simmers, just added the IXEG 737 to my inventory of Boeings at X-Plane, and after the inaugural flight from Munich to Thessaloniki I am impressed... well done. For those of you who want to fly "realistic": Jet2 just started a Vienna-Edinburgh route. G-CELK operated the maiden flight, and it features the "steam" engine gauges. For photos of the inaugural flight at Vienna Airport go to https://www.austrianwings.info/2014/05/fotostrecke-jet2-erstlandung-am-flughafen-wien/ (the text is in German, but the images are very nice indeed).

Heya Celis, Your's looks brilliant I think i have gibraltar installed, might give that a try Ohh lastnight before sleep (well very late am lol) i had a try for laughs from lowi, just to check on settings for roads etc i latered, perfect clouds and temps i guess, i got flap vortexes, frapped a very short clip of it, will post later I can go A-B via fmc now, taking off-surviving-landing, now it's the hard job of the small routine items and in the correct sequence This amount of fun would be taxed in the UK if they could lmao Never missed so much sleep over a sim in all my life Take Care Tony

Nice Tony, Thats how I like videos.. as it is... trim those Trees I'm learning and enjoying everyday flying this beauty...

Ok, thanks Jan... Will check and test that one.. Perhaps it will work just entering a new company route too.. Anway, thank you

It's in the Unreliable airspeed section of our QRH. But rule of thumb 6 and 60.. 6 degrees pitch and 60% N1 for level flight clean and level flight flap 5 speed 180/170. This will change with weight but it's a good starting point. 3 degree ILS is about 2.5 pitch and 56% N1, again ball park figs Sihfty

Hiya MDDXP, Thankyou Will keep an eye out for a possible update Cheers Tony

Here's some footage from a flight around Zurich the other day. I was going to go around the lake but it started raining and decided to climb out of the bad weather. No sound sorry!

Little Fun-Fact: Retracting the flaps from 40° to 0° takes exactly the same time as the guitar solo of the Top-Gun Anthem. So guys! Don't tell me that happened by accidence

They should put jan and jonny together (smartcopilot if it's fully working by then). I'll sign up for jumpseat that day!

Well, I was almost certain that this wasn´t a bug but superior IXEG/X-Plane physics that I wasn´t quite familiar with (I´ve flown other XP payware aircraft before ). So thanks for taking your time and explaining this. Sounds very convincing and therefore - as soon as you know what to expect upon flaring - I think landing the IXEG 733 will be way easier . But - because I see that you take these physics extremely serious - I really hope that we will be able to have these ground physics from v1.0.0 as an option in the future (I use a separate joystick as a tiller). The new physics seem to be less realistic - still way better than others in XP . It´s just that now upon landing you also slide a bit on the runway when applying rudder (you know what I mean?).

Here are some user "advises" from me and my god, I don't have a monster GPU. For the X-Plane rendering settings: - shadows to 3d on aircraft or lower - water reflections to low or even to off - texture resolution to very high - objects and other settings to what your hardware can handle, but one notch lower Another good advice from my side, is to use a little script for FlyWithlua called "Auto LOD". Grab it here http://x-plane.at/drupal/node/385 The script adjust rendered objects in distance by changing the LOD level (basically world detail distance in X-Plane) in connection to a preset FPS value.
