I noticed that the heading of the fixes pertaining to the ILS approach into KMCO17L are not correct. The IXEG FMS shows a heading of 172 on the ILS; they should read between 184-186 according to real world navdata. This also occurred with fixes on the ILS of KDTW22L. I'm on the stock navdata of the IXEG, i.e. 1509. The problem corrects itself when I get close by the first approach fix. All the 172's turn into the right heading. I really cannot tell if this is part of the issues with VNAV in general.

Hi Jan, Thanks for getting back to me. "Quite the hangar" ? True, but not many plugins, I guess. Here's an overview. XHSI, AirFMC, QPAC ... that's it. The trouble is I can't reproduce the mishap. The only 'other' clue might be the custom scenery of Simheaven (a tile bc17). It didn't occur in other places ... I'm a bit at a loss too ! I'll try something new, without Simheaven. I appreciate your attention and passion. Theo.

Once again, now with the 1.04, all of a sudden my FPS dropped from 35 to 2. CPU load was 25% and I couldn't feel any overheating. VRAM load was 30%. I guess that rules out the heating problem? Most of my processors had a field day ... I was on descent from KDTW into KMCO, almost on final. FMA indicated V/S (VNAV not reliable) and I just did a DIRTO to a waypoint in the LEGS page, being KAKEY the first one on the ILS into 17L. I had to choose another airport (KATL09L) through the X-Plane menu. FPS came back to 25 ...

No my iMac is not getting hot AFAIK. This dramatic drop in FPS only happened for the first time with the 733 on version 1.03. I was on CRZ ALT with not much detail in sight and smooth sailing. Frame rate was near 35 and then I decided to change an altitude further down the road. That's when the rate dropped to < 10. I don't have these 'hot' issues (severe frame rate drops) with the FF 757, 767 and 777 nor with JAR A320 and A330. Just with the new version of IXEG 733. But I will test fly this puppy again to exclude pilot error ... KATL27R - BRAVS sid - OTK - PIGLT star - KMCO17L at FL310.

Thanks Benjamin for expanding my knowledge. Am I right not to install Avast?

Vielen Dank Jan. What do you mean with "heath problem" and how do you guess? Can I cool her down? My iMac runs the 733 perfectly with 30-35 FPS. It's a weird incident when the FPS drops to 3 or 6. Is there something I can do about it?

Hi benjamin, I'm on a Mac. AFAIK there's no Avast for OS X. Thanks for your input. Theo.

I reported this behavior too, today in another topic. The graphical path indicator (GPI) changes the diamond between +10000 feet and - 10000 feet on the same leg. It happened on the PIGLT4 star into KMCO, coming from KATL. The exact place is in-between HKUNA (FL270) and MTATA (FL250); the leg is 50 nm long. So, the FMC bridges 2000 feet and has 50 nautical miles to do so. The GPI went more or less berserk ...

Same issue here. When I changed an altitude in the FMS, the MOD-light came on and I ended up with an FPS of 6. Then the beachball showed it's ugly face ... After a while the FPS came back to 30 and I was able to EXEC. And now I'm back to 8 FPS, Unusable for flight ... I have to quit X-Plane. Just before that, VNAV did some weird stuff. On the graphical path indicator, the diamond chose positions between + 10000 feet and - 10000 feet.

Maybe it's related ... You'll be the judge ... Version 1.03: In the Preflight menu, I set for about 2.5 hours of fuel. I click on "Set Typical" and click on "Apply Settings". After that, the 737 reboots and I lost the fuel settings.

With me it was the spoilers. Don't arm them ... and you're good to go!

Wow says it all ... It applies as much to your sense of service ...

Thanks so much CMBAVIATOR. How do I install XPUIPC on a Mac? Where does it go? ?Probably Resources/Plugins? I've downloaded it, but it has foremost Win files: /XPUIPC/win.xpl /XPUIPC/32/ /XPUIPC/32/win.xpl /XPUIPC/64/ /XPUIPC/64/win.xpl /XPUIPC/XPUIPC.ini /XPUIPC/XPUIPCOffsets.cfg

You mean Flightradar24?

I'm on a Mac ... where do these files go? Never noticed them ...

The spoilers act differently on a Mac; compared to other aircraft like the FF's and JAR's it's the other way around when using the 3 and the 4 keys on the keyboard ...

The IXEG 737 is buggy ... On almost every flight I lose LNAV and/or VNAV. Even HDG and V/S don't work anymore. So RNAV is out ...

FPS is just great on an iMac with 8GB and 27 inch from late 2012 early 2013.
