Difference in EGT/Oil Qty and pressue is normal and intended - different levels, different engine age, it is random. If you open the crossfeed, fuel will never balance if you keep all pumps on - this is a common misconception! One set of pumps is always a "bit" stronger than the other, and if you understand fluid dynamics, you will see that that tank will then supply fuel exclusively. To balance fuel: Turn open crossfeed. Turn OFF the fuel pumps for the tank with less fuel (memorize: Low fuel - low pressure). Wait until levels equalize, then turn on all pumps again and close crossfeed. Jan

Hey Buddy, Well last night I never got it to work but with a fresh start this morning and fully caffeinated I downloaded a xjoymap file from another post in this forum and it worked. I was able to map my first button. After mapping with a program like LINDA in that other flight sim -LINDA with it's nice GUI- I find this process of coding each button rather daunting. Even trying to use the GIT software to map switches is a rather convoluted process. Luckily the MCP and the GF gear panel are a more straight forward process with their included default setups. Yesterday my GF MESM panel arrived (the engine start panel). In three hours of trying I was never able to get it working in the GIT software. In FSX it took 2 minutes to map it. I might just grab a GF EFIS and radio panel since they seem fairly dialed into IXEG getting them to work quickly. I have more $ than time. I guess what I am saying I think one of the creative coders (or plane developer) around here could make a better GUI and charge for it. I would pay $50+. I have donated multiple times to LINDA guys for their freeware. mmerelles - you are a star!! I have read around and seen you help others too. This is my first forum posting for Xplane and it has been a better experience with your help!

My fault not being clear enough. Assuming your xjoymap plugin is up & running properly EHSI mode & EHSI range commands should be under main/ tree not under xjoymap/ default tree see below noted in red [EHSI Range] new_command=EHSI Range dataref=ixeg/733/ehsi/ehsi_range_cpt_act description=EHSI Range values = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 [EHSI Mode] new_command=EHSI Mode dataref=ixeg/733/ehsi/ehsi_mode_cpt_act description=EHSI Mode values = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Note there is no tree specification in the command, this means they will be created under xplane main/ tree by default, scroll for them there to map If you want your commands under xjoymap/ tree, the syntax for the lines above should be: new_command=xjoymap/EHSI Range new_command=xjoymap/EHSI Mode note: you can also create your own tree. i.e. new_command=IXEG737/EHSI Range note2: don't ask me why commands you create with no tree specification goes to the main/ and not to the xjoymap/ by default. Devs decision hope this clarifies.

xjoymap plugin allows you to create assignments on a per aircraft basis. Every aircraft developer provides their own datarefs for their simulation. you create a 'xjoymap.ini' text file on a per aircraft basis and the file has to reside on each aircraft root folder. Everytime you select an aircraft in xplane, xjoymap will check on the aircraft root folder you are selecting if an 'xjoymap.ini' file exists and load it for aircraft assignment parametrization or will do nothing if the file is not found. No need to have a file for each aircraft in your hangar. Just for the ones you require special assignments. xjoymap.ini file has a syntax structure for making the assignments you must comply. The documentation is included on the plugin and several examples over the forums. this is an example of the xjoymap.ini file you have to place under the 737 root folder to map the captain's EHSI range and EHSI mode to buttons or keys. ******************* xjoymap.ini [EHSI Range] new_command=EHSI Range dataref=ixeg/733/ehsi/ehsi_range_cpt_act description=EHSI Range values = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 [EHSI Mode] new_command=EHSI Mode dataref=ixeg/733/ehsi/ehsi_mode_cpt_act description=EHSI Mode values = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ***************** note: 0,1,2,3,4,5 are the values the 'range' dataref will cycle under each mapped button clic. Each value has a corresponding range on the simulation 0,1,2,3,4 are the values the 'mode' dataref will cycle under each mapped button clic. Each value has a corresponding mode on the simulation you can order the modes as per your liking or even cycle between less values. 1,4,5 (assuming you have no interest for 0,2,3 range selection) Now you go to xplane joystick & assignment tab or buttond adv tab on the right side you will see under xplane standard list the new commands EHSI range and EHSI mode for you to map

No, it does not need an update, and future updates will not adress this. I am sure that it is something that is going on with your computer, especially if it happens mostly after 2 hour flights. You can post your log.txt from the X-Plane main folder here, and maybe we can have a look if you run a conflicting plugin. Cheers, Jan

Working on it! Au revoir, Jan PS: Day before yesterday fixed some bugs with Nils on the TCAS (some online-traffic staying fixed in position relative to aircraft, erroneous RA´s when X-Plane AI aircraft spawn....) Yesterday fixed a bug with Tom relating to aircraft not flying straight to first point on SID´s with long, straight initial segment (like LFPG 27L RAN1AD, for example)...

Check out this post: Meanwhile try out the FIX function on the FMC. Its just as fast if not even faster. Dont let that stop you from flying events with this bird

737NG but need 737-300 completed first, no variant of this model for me...
