Yeah, we never got around to changing that - if I recall the internal discussion it wasn´t as easy to change as I thought it would be. I am actually very happy with the windshield wiper sound - look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36DxYzNTFI4 It is a very loud and crude device. Our (well, especially mine) goal is to make the 737 as realistic as possible - including the not so convenient aspects. I was already overruled and we added a volume slider for the aircondition, don´t expect my help to nerf the windshield wiper sound . Cheers, Jan

The xenviro bug is well known. You don't get any rain effects unless you start switching the weather mode around, then eventually it starts working to some degree, but it's very patchy. It's a real pity, coming from FSX, AS spoiled us when you compare to default, xenviro or SMP. I have swapped between these programs many times, trying to decide. SMP looks nice and has the rain effect, but I feel like I am flying in a mini weather zone, about 10 miles wide, whatever the cloud cover is, be it 2/8 cover, you constantly have clouds in front of you and it's very predictable, instead of random placement clouds xenviro is better in this case, but you miss the effect, the haze seems too strong. I don't know if xenviro plan to resolve the issue. Roll on AS release!

Jan, sorry to dig up an old bug, but I see the cloud illumination is still made by one of the turn off lights, I think the left one. Not sure if it's possible to change this to one of the inboard landing lights. I know this only works in SMP, doesn't work in xEnviro at all, but I am going to try SMP again as I want the rain effects back). No big deal if you can't manage this. One other thing, I like the windscreen wiper effect, I am sure the sound is modeled on the real thing, but it sounds very rough, like grinding stone against each other. What do you think, just like the real thing or maybe there is a plan for a new version, or maybe there is a way to reduce the volume for this effect?

I have xEnviro and have never had a crash with it, after maybe 100 hrs of flying or so. I have Vortex off as I remember there was a bug with it, but this was to do with rendering from the cockpit. I can actually recreate the bug quite easily, use KBOS by MisterX6, go to any gate, sit in the cockpit and switch Vortex on and off, with it on, the rendering outside is obviously messed up with Vortex on.

Hey ya'll! Hi everyone! The X-Plane Developers Community's Workshop website is now a public wiki, everyone is allowed to contribute to the site. Please feel free to add to the site! (i think you need a google account) It's meant to be a controlled platform where I and a bunch of writers would document, but alas time is money, and most of us can't actively commit to the site. I'll try my best to maintain consistent quality and graphics after each contribution, making it easy to read with diagrams and visuals. Heres is the link to edit: https://sites.google.com/s/0B7XuYN5QvPP9Q19mNnpsV19xbGM/edit Cheers everyone!

I too look forward to 1.21. I'm hoping the taxi and landing lights are going to be a little brighter. I recently purchased this plane and it's already my favorite. The excellent/ very realistic flight model makes it a real joy to fly for me. I couldn't believe how well CWS mode works. This plane is a marvel in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree, landing light would be better. We will see what we can do ;-) Jan

Pretty sure the 737-Freighter is going to be released next
