  1. Thanks for the response Jan. Indeed don’t bet your licence on the FMC! : )
  2. I noticed that the aircraft wants to turn in the wrong direction with a handful of SIDS. Last night I tried the LORED 2B departure from Runway 13 at Malta. Instead of a right turn to 180 and then a left turn back to 360, the aircraft wanted to chop out the initial turn and just head for 360 which I’m sure would upset ATC. I flew it manually with HDG select but raw data single pilot procedures aren’t the easiest, anyone else run into this?
  3. Great work on 1.31 guys, although I'm still running into this bug with the latest version. ETA I saw the response to others further down the forum. No worries!
  4. Great job guys, loving flying this aircraft and the flight model seems massively improved. Any chance you might tweak a few things for the ‘ready to fly’ panel state that seem a bit out of place? - position light currently off (would be on with power to the airplane?) - DH ref on 200 on both sides (have to drag this to -20 every time you ‘take over’ the aircraft - naughty outgoing crew) - transponder on TA/RA AUTO - wouldn’t it be to OFF and STBY at the gate? - Fuel pumps and ELEC hydraulics energised - I’m sure I read that for most of the service life of the classics, until the start flow you’d have the ELEC 2 and 1 off and the fuel pumps off apart from the (AFT?) number 1 feeding the APU? More than happy to be corrected by wiser heads than mine as to why these are all the way they are , though The only other thing on my wish list would be to link up the FO altimeter baro selector with the Captains’, to cut down the workload a bit and for those of us that fly the -800 a lot, putting the selection of the FLT/GND switch into the checklist as it’s easily missed. Cheers and keep up the good work!
  5. After flying around for a bit I kinda got used to it but with every single P3D addon using scroll the ‘other’ way I think it will become annoying if you hop between sims a lot. The accuracy of manipulating the controls sure has improved a lot though. It’s nice not to open and close the window blind when clicking on the pack switches!
  6. YES! it’s a bug with cinema Vérité. It’s now off.
  7. This is an odd one. I’ll keep troubleshooting and see what might be the issue. Glad to hear you’ve toned down the shaking. It’s one of my favourite features in the IXEG.
  8. Yep I'm just displaying turning off x-camera and also the IXEG camera shake effect. Headshake is not active. I'll delete it altogether from the plugins folder and try.
  9. Hey guys, I have a weird shake when braking hard in this aircraft. It happens with the 'camera shake' effect in the IXEG preferences on or off, or indeed with X Camera on or off. It doesn't happen in any other X Plane aircraft. I don't have headshake installed. Here's a video...any ideas? (Might still be rendering if it's not there yet)
  10. No biggy, there's enough light to see by night until the patch comes along. Have to admit now Vulkan is here I'm really enjoying this baby again, what a superbly immersive aircraft it is.
  11. I'm seeing exactly the same. The light is there but it's dim and you don't get the nice animated bulb flicker as it lights up. This is after updating to the latest beta and also applying the patch to fix the brake steering issue. I did both at the same time so not sure which one might have broken it. I opened up the IXEG in planemaker - did I read something about a certain version of planemaker breaks it?
  12. I landed at Southampton earlier (pretty sporty for a 737) and noticed this sound as I gave the thrust reversers the full beans. It sounds much like the engine whine at TOGA power.
  13. I'm sure Jan will chip in here but I'll tell you what both my 737 and 777 guys recommend which is autobrakes out once you're down to taxi speed - so 25kts there or thereabouts. Also you may be taking a high speed exit, so perhaps a bit higher. Taxiing in the sim is a lot harder than in real life, albeit much easier in X-Plane than FSX as the ground drag model is a lot better.
  14. A gracious response Tim. Thank you.
  15. No problem friend, different strokes for different folks. We spent 3 days making this. Our 777 Cadet Training Program will take two people three months to make, with 22 videos in total. All for the cost of a couple of pizzas from Dominos. This was Jonny - a friend of mine - coming round for an informal, off the cuff flyabout in the 737, which we pushed out totally for free. It was never intended that anyone would pay for it. Yeh it's kitchsy, but it's fun. People like it, the views have gone off the scale and I've had dozens of emails from folk saying how much they learned from it and more importantly from die-hard P3D users asking how to get into X-Plane. But when your 2 hour long, fully procedural, serious, totally professional, in-depth training video flights with your 737 pilot friend go up on Youtube do let us know, so we can let you know what we think.
  16. Very kind, thank you. We firmly plan to do a full series with the IXEG in due course. Jonny quite fancies throwing into Chambery for the circle to land. Will be fun to see how it compares to doing it in the Q400...
  17. Ouch. Well, sorry we gave up our Monday afternoon to bring you a free training product and it's a pity you missed out on dozens of amazing tips on how to fly your IXEG that the other 7000 people who watched it now know. Our thousands of happy Q400 Cadet and FO series customers love our execution. But you can't please 'em all!
