The road map is to get the V11 compatibility version out, which is imminent....then go back over the FMS ...VNAV, holds, etc. While that is ongoing, we are also working on new cabin 3D elements. That is the immediate path. After all that...and the plane is performing well and looking well, then I myself will be interested in some failures type of interaction -tkyler

Hey guys, I have the fabulous 737 from IXEG working in XP11. Because this plane is not officially supported in XP 11 yet, I had to do a few tweeks to get the bird flying. I see a lot of people, asking the same questions in this regard here. What I'd like to do with this post, is to help people who would like to use the 737 in XP 11, by providing a single post with all the required steps so that people don't have to search that much. So, here we go: Installation Install XP 11 as you like by using the X-Plane 11 Installer.exe Install the IXEG by using the windows-installer.exe that comes with the download Specify your XPlane 11 (not 10!) root folder when asked by the IXEG installer When this is done you may, or may not be able to already fly the plane without further tweaking. However, I wasn't and here are the two tweaks I did. Fixing APU not starting and plane not correctly responding to thrust problems Make a backup of the file B733.acf under X-Plane11\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic In your XP11 root folder, open PlaneMaker.exe Select File -> Open and find the file B733.acf under X-Plane11\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic Select Standard -> Systems Navigate to the Electrical tab Check the following APU Checkboxs: auxiliary power unit (APU) APU provides bleed air for engine start APU provides generator for electrical supply Close the View with X (Note: Close the view, not the program) Select Standard -> Engine Specs Select the Description tab Set hi idle fuel adjustment to 1.16 (fuel ratio) Set lo idle fuel adjustment to 0.88 (fuel ratio) Close the View with X (Note: Close the view, not the program) Select File -> Save Quit PlaneMaker.exe And that's it. Go have a good time flying this beauty :-) For the sake of completeness: I use Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1; Build 7601: Service Pack 1) X-Plane 11.01r2 IXEG 737 1.0.7 No other add ons Cheers, Chris

ok thanks!

PROG page is not working yet, under development. Do not use it.

I love a man who pays attention. What a guy!

Well he said: "However, during this flight, everytime I crossed a waypoint, the VNAV would turn on, and try to take control. " This sounds more like an addon that automatically engages VNAV when crossing a waypoint - unless he overspeeds on every turn. So I'd recommend disabling everything except for ixeg (and gizmo) and see if it is still happening.

So the 747-400 it is. Great. Any updates? Will it have wingflex?

Cool, you certainly present X-Plane at its finest!

Here a good link to 733 training videos, dont know if its linked here before.

XP 11 update is next

A little story from my last flight. Had a interesting flight yesterday between LSZH (Zurich) and ESSA (Arlanda) during a VATSIM event, when a failure was triggered. Its fun to (try) troubleshooting and find out what has happend without looking at the logfile or the failures menu. (All picture is taken on ground just to illustrate) I had about 400-500nm left on my flight to ESSA when I got this master caution. I obvious have some issues with flight controls and the hydraulics. So my next step is to look at the overhead panel. The first I notice is that both hydraulic pumps for SYSTEM B is indicating LOW PRESSURE. And I noticed the indicators for the flight controls, but my main concern was the hydraulics. So I checked the pressure and quantity for SYSTEM B and confirming that I have a total loss of that hydraulic system. So I was thinking, what to do, what to do. I had no problems flying the aircraft with the autopilot. And everything else worked fine. My next step was to check if the QRH was covering this issue. And it did. Luckly for me. First two steps is to set SYSTEM B FLIGHT CONTROL SWITCH to STBY RUD and set both hydraulic pumps for SYSTEM B to off. So far so good. Still flying. And I made a decision to continue my flight to my destination as planed, it was after all a nice VATSIM event with alot of traffic. I started planing my next steps. What system have I lost ? How do I handle that ? The QRH says this. Systems that are handled by SYSTEM B is. Outboard flight spoilers. Autopilot B. - No issue for me, flying on Autopilot A. Yaw damper. Alternate nose wheel steering. No issue SYSTEM A is covering Nose wheel steering. Normal brakes. SYSTEM A have to handle the brakes, and that means that Autobrake is INOP. Manual braking only. SYSTEM B is also covering flaps, so alternate flaps have to be used. The QRH says I should plan for a FLAP 15 landing. Not sure why, but could be performance issues with a go around or if I lose of a engine, since I cant retract the flaps with the alternate system. Active runway for landing at ESSA this night was 01R (2500 meters). I did ask ATC for 01L (3300 meters) for landing, but it was denied (shame on you ATC) So 01R it is. Winds calm. VREF with FLAPS 15 was 144knots + 15. So my approach speed would be 159kts. The QRH says that alternate flaps extension from flaps 0 to flaps 15 takes 2 minutes. So had to plan this and make sure I was able to set flaps 15 in time. On the approach. At < 230kts I enabled the alternate flaps. Set the flap lever to desired flap position and extend flaps on maneuvering speed schedule using the alternate flaps position switch. Landing checklist: I was able to set the flaps in time and the landing went fine. You can learn so much from the failures IXEG have made availble for us. And a 2 hour "boring" flight from A to B can be pretty busy when you need to start troubleshooting and flying the aircraft at the same time. Pretty sure I was doing a lot of mistakes, but it was great fun From the logfile. The flight on vatsim: https://vataware.com/flight/5926fe4253523315c9000008
