Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
There is no history/logging between flights.. So the MTBF is "resetted" everytime you load the aircraft. So the MTBF just say something how often the failure can occur. But maybe some logging between the flights would be something for the next version. Thanks for the idea -
That is not normal. But IXEG is using default X-Plane logic for the autobrake. And that is the way X-plane doing it. Correct me if im wrong Jan.

Ill just use the step climbs that PFPX are giving me. PFPX should consider the winds at the different flight levels for the most economic flight My destinations so far have been: ESOK Karlstad EGFF Cardiff BGSF Kangerlussuaq CYYZ Toronto KLAS Las Vegas PHNL Honolulu PKMJ Majuro Atoll AGGH Honiara YSSY Sydney YPDN Darwin WAAA Ujung Pandang-Celebes Island WSSS Singapore VTBS Bangkok And now im flying to VGEG Chittagong After VGEG I will head to the interesting airport VNKT / Kathmandu

Good to hear..:) If you think you get failures to often, change the MTBF_hours to 20. That will be the default in next update -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
Hello My script was created for randomly enable the failures that IXEG have made for us (+ some extra failures as engine fire). Check first post for available failures. The IXEG 737-300 have custom made systems and logics that are not covered by X-Planes failure model. -
Hello @JaimeC I think you need to look at some other datarefs for actual winds acting on the airplane. sim/cockpit2/gauges/indicators/ wind_heading_deg_mag float 900+ no degrees_magnetic Wind direction currently acting on the plane, in degrees magnetic. wind_speed_kts float 900+ no knots Wind speed currently acting on the plane, in knots true. Im not really sure what values sim/weather/wind_speed_kt is indicating. But Sim / weather / wind_speed_kt [0] is X-Plane wind layer 1Sim / weather / wind_speed_kt [1] is X-Plane wind layer 2Sim / weather / wind_speed_kt [2] is X-Plane wind layer 3 It is max 3 wind and cloud layers available for X-Plane.

I was a bit excited about this airport. So I did record the flight from just before top of descend. Hope you dont get motion sickness if you watch it

Since Im on this long haul adventure I decided to do another one.. Im actually thinking of flying the whole way back to europe. I dont have any specific route, so I just planned to continue from PHNL and to a suitable airport. Ended up with PKMJ (Marshalls IS INTL). Dident knew anything about that airport, PFPX was showing runway lenght of 2412m so that sounded perfect. Im enroute now and just checked the charts and some pictures of the destination airport. And I got a bit surprised Glad this island is wide enough to fit this airport

Its not often Im doing >2000nm flights. But very nice to have the opportunity
-
Hehe.. Interesting reading.. That really could be my flight. Started with about 100 pax, but ended up with 60 pax, so I had enough fuel (and skipped ETOPS planning)

Hi all.. Today I decided to do a long haul with the lovely 737-300. I dont do long haul that often since I prefer shorter flights, but wanted to push the limits with this bird. The flight was from Las Vegas (KLAS) to Honolulu (PHNL). Route distance is 2469nm and the flight was estimated to take 6h25min, with a average headwind of 34knots. I really had to kick out some passengers to be able to do this flight. So the ZFW was only 38.4 tons and with 16 tons of fuel. Flightplan: As you can see I planned with CI 0 to get the max range. The cruise level was FL360. (Step climb at HEC) Planning tool is PFPX. 4h30m into the flight. Soon top of descent. Finally see some land And at the gate. I landed safely on 08L PHNL after 6h30m with 2.4 tons of fuel left. Just as planned. The fuel usage was spot on all the flight. Always interesting to see for every waypoint you pass if you are ahead or behind on fuel. But no supprises today From vataware: https://vataware.com/flight/59883dfd5352336271000002 What is your longest flight with this bird ?

If you want you can attach your log.txt file from your x-plane root folder. Maybe we can find the answer there
-
But most important. Does it have Wingflex and cabin light?
-
Hello Tim. There is no automatic function that sets the altimeters to standard value when passing transition altitude. Does it happens everytime? Have you checked your plugins, and LUA-scripts (if you have Flywithlua installed) Cheers.

Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic v1.2 Update Released!
Tom Stian replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
It is the Saitek X55. Its now replaced by the Saitek X56. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x56.html -
Just tested, And its works to enter with suffix 'F". But the range are from 86F (30C) to 157F (69C). So it may be wrong.

Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic v1.2 Update Released!
Tom Stian replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
From the latest Q&A from Laminar Research, they are talking about introduce a "rate limiter" on the nose wheel steering. I use the axis on the top of my right thrust lever for the tiller, and I have no issues doing smooth turns. Remember to use small movments on the tiller. 22:50 about the rate limiter. (Watch Austins reaction) BONUS: even real pilots struggles -
Datarefs for barometric setting controls
Tom Stian replied to jixeg737's topic in Hardware/Cockpit Dev
Just tested.. And it looks like the "mbar" is not writeable.. try with ixeg/733/altimeter/baro_inhg_sby_0001_ind -
Possible to make external lights datarefs accessible as commands
Tom Stian replied to mgeiss's topic in Hardware/Cockpit Dev
Custom commands would be the best I guess, but could Xlua do the job for you ? That is built-in. -
1000ft difference between main and standby altimeter
Tom Stian replied to parapro's topic in Bug Reports
Standby instruments are not that accurate at those altitudes. So its perferctly normal And the difference on your screenshot is 80ft if i see it correct -
Allready got the monitor. Fast delivery! And wow.. First impression is amazing.. Testing with different FOV settings. This is with FOV 85.

Just Landed at EGKK from LEAL. Busy day at Gatwick on VATSIM
-
Impatience as I am I ended up buying a ultrawide monitor. Rip that money. But from what I read around on different x-plane forums it should be very awesome.

Take Command! IXEG 737 Classic v1.2 Update Released!
Tom Stian replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
You need to map a button on your joystick to the X-Plane sim/engines/TOGA_power command , or push the toga button on the throttle quadrant.
