Seeing this topic, I'd like to share my experience with Lufthansa B733 this summer. I was on my way back home from a trip to England on 16th July. D-ABED(LH941)took me from EGCC to EDDF, then D-AIGL(LH780) took me from EDDF to ZSNJ(Nanjing, China). One thing to be mentioned, the aircraft for LH941 was A320 when booking this flight but about one month before departure, the type changed to B733. At that moment, I was flying IXEG B733 frequently on VATSIM, that news made me really excited. This was my first time but also my last time to fly Lufthansa B733. Weather in Manchester is not that good, at gate 24 ready for push/start. Moments after departure. It was the first time that SWISS CS100 flew to Manchester that day. I could see groups of people gathering at the spotting location near runway 23L when I was lining up the runway. B733 safety card Cabin shot. Final approach to 25R, great view of the terminal. Remote stand, first time to get off the plane from back door. Fanhansa livery, taken inside the terminal during the 6 hour transfer. D-ABEH D-AIGL waiting for boarding. I chose to fly Lufthansa because of the A343 but B733 gave me a great surprise! Climb out of runway 18, very nice rate of climb. In fact I prefer a 25C departure because it could let me take some overview photos of FRA airport during the climb. A343 cabin. In the end, some shots of airshows in England Thank you so much

Hi everyone, I would like to share my (somewhat emotional) own personal farewell to the 737 I flew for 10 years here at Lufthansa. I started out as a First Officer in 1996, flying -300, - 400 and -500 variants. Later the -400s where phased out. In 2002 I transferred to the 747-400, and in 2008 I came back as a Captain to my beloved 737. I got to fly it until 2012, when, with the reduction in numbers, I was transferred to the A320 family. Last Saturday saw the last commercial flight of a 737 in Lufthansa service, but the plane has a huge following among "Lufhanseats", and we were not willing to just let it go like that. So together with the 737-fleet administration a plan was made to bid farewell to the 737 in style. Two 737-300´s were scheduled to fly to Heviz, Hungary (the "FlyBalaton" airport) on November, 1st - spend the night there and then fly back to Frankfurt on the 2nd. After that there was a farewell event in one of the huge maintenance hangars on the airport. Here are some pics: Checking in at the airport: A booklet we got and my ticket: Arriving at the D-ABEC "Karlsruhe": Landing/turnoff light assembly: Our head of fleet, who flew us to Heviz: Me getting on board (I hate sitting in the back!): Taxiing out, we saw the second aircraft to follow us an hour later, D-ABEK: Arriving in Heviz, after backtracking we were greated by "water fountains" from the fire-trucks! The Heviz airport: Some detail shots in the afternoon sun: Even the mayor of Heviz came out to greet us (and he brought some local liqueur!) Malev flies 737s (or used to?): After a nice celebration dinner in a downtown hotel, meeting with many colleagues and friends and a whole evening of "talking 737" we headed back out to the airport the next morning. Our two fine "Bobbies" waiting for us on the apron: "Fanhansa" D-ABEK: My old office Departure over Lake Balaton, so lifevest mandatory! And getting off the 737 for the last time :-(((( After we arrived, there was the farewell celebration in the hangar: They REALLY polished good old "Neubrandenburg" D-ABEN: And our CEO and my former flight-school classmate Carsten Spohr had some nice things to say about the 737 (even though he only flew 320s): Finally they pulled the plane out of the hangar in a symbolic "roll-out". The aircraft will be flown to the U.S. over the next few weeks, some of them will continue to fly there. So if you see any of them, give them my best... https://youtu.be/18qiHDDA-DU Good-Bye, Bobby!

Wingflex is on the to-do list, don't worry I think however you will very soon get bored looking at it since the short and stiff wings of the 737CL require significant "bumps/turbulence" to get some visible action. The winglet aircraft however will show slightly more movement. The reason is winglets increases span and thus moves the center of lift further out on the wing causing increased bending moment. It's also visually easier to notice offcourse when the whole winglet moves.

I also have to say, though, that "the IXEG is an excellent plane" isn't really a rebuttal. We get that the plane is great (we all fly it, obviously) but saying things like "it's the best plane ever, it doesn't need wingflex" isn't helpful to anyone. I do agree there are more pressing matters.

Here are a couple of X-Plane screen shots, not the most recent version since i have to export the whole thing again since i made changes

Here are a few pictures of the WIP. Now I need t wait for the XP11 scenery documentation since this will definitely will be released for XP11

do you know the difference between a nice-to... and a Must-have? shame on you not having understood what you have in your hands, nobody defends a developer, on my side at least I give my advice to let devs know not everybody is keen on fps killing animations. The interest we have is to keep this add-on free of useless rubbish that would impact its performance. This add-on, unlike others, that cannot cope with systems qualities, does not need any nice to have eye candy animations to be what it claims to be: the best simulated 737 out there!!! it is a master piece as such and no distraction is needed. as many stated, if you would try to master what is in this X-Plane jewel, you wouldn't even have the time to go outside of the cabin to watch "flex", on my side I would not even miss any objects outside of the cockpit... too much to do in the cockpit, but that is just assuming you actually fly this thing and are not touching yourself watching the plane land by itself in Autoland mode. and if you still miss those, I would recommend you take on some other sim/ad-on combination to satisfy your very personal need for aviation-pornography! Have a look at JAR, they do some very nice ones, or the classic FSX/Aerosoft-cartoon-plane-on-the-rails-simulators. But please guys, stop the rubbish about wingflex. There are more important things to fix.

To make this aircraft perfect, there must be WINGFLEX. And dont tell me that aircraft is small. and it is not so importent. To feel the plane , the wind it is very nice. You can leave everything like it is, but wingflex must be. And it will be the masterpiece of IXEG.

It seems to me , that you all guys have interest in defending you friends developers. We can eat without spoons and knifes too, but I dont think you do this, like we can fly without wingflex. But nowdays it is important to have wingflex. If you dont want it go to Xplane 5 and fly on windows 95. I wonder , why you write something here and make developers never even think about wingflex. Shame on you !

HELP very much. To enjoy the game.

As the title suggests, I've been chased off both the org and avsim due to overzealous modding. Here I am, to hopefully find some people to share my hobby with.

Do we have wingflex, I cant see it. This is very important for realistic atmosphere .

The world goes crazy. May be later somebody help me in my wish to have an exelent aircraft with biautiful WINGFLEX. You guys can futher play even with 2d panel.
