  1. the ixeg aircraft has its own preference menu on the left side, you select there metric units or not.
  2. can you attach a screen capture or a video how you are trying to enter ZFW? also check you are not messing pounds vs metric based on your preference. if you do not enter ZFW, VNAV will not engage never ever, because VNAV needs to know the aircraft weight to calculate and populate the vertical profile to the flight plan.
  3. The aircraft has a liveries folder were you should put the liveries (this is the same for all xplane aircraft in fact) copy the liveries of your liking to '/x-plane 10/aircrafts/x-aviation/737 ixeg/liveries/' under your /liveries/ folder it should look like /American/ /United/ /Iberia/ etc. one sub-folder per livery
  4. I have signed and downloaded the app to give it a look. Those text files (under Profiles sub-folder) are internal parametrization files. Aircraft profiles/datarefs/custom commands mappings are not open for users to modify. They are hardcoded/compiled on the 'VAInterface.exe' binary (you can open this file via text editor, search for IXEG and you will see there). I can also confirm VA is using the incorrect datarefs for VS mapping thus the problem you see on the display. I put the correct dataref VA must use for VS display a few posts back on this thread. Correct datarefs & custom commands to use are documented on the aircraft included PDFs (under documentation folder, 2-xxx.pdf) I am sorry to say you are stuck to VA fixing the profiles and adding new profiles whenever you want to fly another bird Hope they have plans for releasing an SDK for third party people to develop on top of their hardware without requiring their VA interface and/or they redesign their VA interface for allowing users to create/modify custom profiles by themselves.
  5. when you load xplane it will allow you to select airport and aircraft, but it will not allow you to select liveries. to select a livery, once you are on the aircraft. Go to aircraft menu then load aircraft then select the 737 on the left side and select the desired livery on the right. (the aircraft will not reload, it will just change the livery). xplane simulates random failures, go to aircraft, failures menu, disable 'allow random failures'
  6. No, in fact all 7 patches since release were about systems so far. Upcoming release 1.1 will introduce aesthetic updates they started to share over this spoiler alert thread among more systems updates.
  7. No, more than a year ago. Latest patch was a few months back. But saying major release 3.0 was released a month ago is like saying windows 7 was released a week ago due to the latest patch via updater.
  8. IXEG has said on their very first release of the aircraft that external hardware compatibility is second priority once they have completed the aircraft simulation to the levels they want to... You can see on the link below, what is already done, what is still pending. You should understand while having FDS CDU is really cool, this a pretty expensive piece of hardware and a very limited number of people may use it, while there is a huge user base awaiting for all features of the aircraft being available. Having said that, i do not know anything about FDS hardware, but IXEG already provides all custom commands and datarefs for an external hardware or software based CDU to work (they are pretty well documented on the aircraft DOC folder). I do not know what FDS requires from them to work their way, but they should be able to put a piece of plugin software on xplane as of today for commanding the aircraft CDU from their external hardware. There are already external CDUs working with the IXEG without them required to change any single bit of code.
  9. to go outside go to xpane views menu and select an external view like chase or circle, once the camera is outside. Move the camera using the arrow keys to the external view position you like. Then save the view to the slot you like 0-9. So everytime you press that number you go to the outside view preset. here you have a view someone made to explain views. This is not about IXEG, it is the same for programming views for any aircraft.
  10. I have quite a bit of experience on the IXEG datarefs you are required to use, also in programming. But i do not have the VA interface neither their hardware. Is the VA interface free to download to anyone not having the hardware? if so, i can try to give it a look on the code and confirm if they are using incorrect datarefs for VS and suggest you a fix eventually. Or it could be another issue or hardcoded and you are stuck no matter what. EDIT: i.e., can you guys digg yourself on the VA code and confirm the following? -For the VS display to show correct information they have to have mapped dataref 'ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_dial_ann' (if they are mapping xplane default dataref it won't work) -For the VS wheel to properly adjust pitch they have to have mapped dataref 'ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_vs_target_act' and apply +/- 1 value to the memory position based on user wheel rotation direction to increase/decrease pitch which will result on the VS display adjusting automatically as well
  11. You are welcome. Enjoy this magnificent simulation
  12. this aircraft as any other x-aviation software has a installer application. You do not drag the file to aircraft. 1. Download the file from x-aviation (this is a zip file) to your desktop of whatever (i think you did this) 2. Unzip the file and you will have a mac and a windows installer executable 3. run the executable file via double clic, it will ask to select where your your xplane folder is 4. install the aircraft will be installed automatically into /xplane 10/Aircrafts/X-Aviation/IXEG 737/
  13. as said above this aircraft has no LNAV neither VNAV. -For vertical profile you always use: VS mode (vertical speed), this will set the aircraft pitch fixed to a desired target VS for climbing or descending. Aircraft speeding varies based on thrust setting and altitude. IAS mode (airspeed), this will set the aircraft speeding fixed, and the aircraft pitch will vary to maintain speeding based on thrust set and altitude (climb in this mode please not to stall the aircraft) -For lateral navigation you use NAV mode (unless you wanna fly in HDG mode) You can use old school VOR navigation You may use the GPS for creating a flight plan and follow the magenta. To switch the NAV source (VOR vs GPS) press CDI button on the GPS. Hope this helps! reading the manual will also help to better familiarize yourself on the aircraft systems and capabilities.
  14. @Morten when i am flying on the sim and offline i do use vnav a lot for climbing and descending, once i perform the funny part of the takeoff and initial climb i do switch to vnav for grabbing a coke, see something on the laptop or whatever. The same for initial descend via VNAV, when the funny parts starts (approach) i do go manual mode. when i am on the real life, even when practicing on PE, ATC is another thing. You are more like, authorized directo XXX, descend and maintain XXX, authorized climb to XXX. So you do not care much about VNAV either because ATC over busy airspaces rarely let you alone via the procedure. Most simmers will fly offline, if online there is no near congested airspaces and circumstances that arises as on the real deal. So you find yourself via vnav/ap and doing something else just my personal opinion.
  15. On your first picture seems there is not a route, but i you look closely there is a magenta line going opposite direction where the aircraft nose is pointing. if you put the selector in CTR MAP mode position, do you see the route? can you capture please: -a screen capture pressing LEGS and being on page 1/x? -a screen capture of DEP/ARR being on DEParture page? EDIT: just in case, while you were programming the FMC did you see any text based terminal popop window raising on the screen from nowhere?
  16. maybe you can attach a few screen captures of the fmc and aircraft displays to see what is going on? most common cause you the see the magenta over the PLAN mode but not MAP is you did not ACTIVATE the route, so it is on PLAN but not ready to use. if you press RTE did it offer ACTIVATE soft key bottom right? if so, press there, then press EXEC.
  17. You can re-install your products on a new upgraded pc. No issues. That is why you have up to 3 installs on your keys per product per default. just in case your HD crashes and you need to reinstall, or you buy a new rig for better performance. The thing is, you can not redistribute your keys to family members, friends or anyone else. The keys are for your exclusive and personal usage.
  18. cool, report back how it goes...
  19. I did not perform much testing on this honestly, but i do recall bank limiter worked when tested. Still it does not intervene always as you may think. LNAV & LOC mode it will not intervene. The aircraft must intercept in LOC mode and must complain lateral procedure requirements under LNAV. It won't care what you set. HDG sel mode and VOR mode should work note: I do not know what you tested specifically.
  20. the tail logo light only works when winglets are not enabled logo lights are mounted on the wingtips, winglet version does not have them. this is by boeing design on this bird.
  21. XP11 is looking so damm good, and this is just the beginning 11.0 beta 1 very nice video sr.
  22. cool. pull the trigger this is a fantastic bird, be ready to study a bit
  23. you are welcome when you make a change inflight the fmc keeps recalculating, the aircraft is moving, until you exec. it is not the GPU actually, is the CPU that goes hell due to windows defender kicking in to analyze the scripts and becomes the bottleneck. GPU usage goes down, nothing to do on a freezed simulator
  24. maybe a typo? standard price is 49.95, having this study level bird for 29.95 looks like a very good deal to me edit:
  25. go to your windows defender configuration and add a folder exception for the entire /x-plane/ folder (folder, not file exception there are both!). this will fix your issue.
