I don't use any LUA scripts. I noticed it during a couple of VATSIM flights. I also did a quick offline departure just to see if it happened offline too, and sure enough, it did. I'll have to nose around and see what add-ons/plugins I have that could influence this. Tim

Do the altimeters auto set to 29.92 at transition altitude on climb out? I just now realized this is happening, and was wondering if this was part of 1.2, or some hidden X-Plane function I may have accidentally turned on. Tim

I've had mixed results. Changing the landing runway/approach usually works, but has broken the route on occasion. Changing the STAR often times breaks the route beyond repair, or there are waypoints missing. Closing discos in the RTE page also often leads to a breakdown, so I avoid that at all costs, and try to square things away with the LEGS page only if possible. I still don't have much confidence flying this bird online, especially in the northeast corridor where approaches get updated frequently. Tim

I'm not claiming victory, but I just made the KSDF to KMDW flight again, and this time VNAV behaved, and stayed in it's cave. Prior to starting X-Plane, I deleted any HOTAS buttons assigned to VNAV. There were two of them in my .prf files. This is really, really, really strange, because other than A/P on and off, I've never, and I mean NEVER assigned any advanced A/P functions to my controller. I have no idea how these became programmed to my HOTAS. While I'd like to suspect those darn Russian hackers, I'm at a loss to explain it. The bottom line is I think the HOTAS button that got assigned to toggle VNAV on and off was noisy, and would randomly turn on the VNAV. That's the best I can come up with. Unless it happens again, I'll consider the issue resolved. If it does rear it's ugly head again, I'll report back. Tim

How dare you impune my flying skills sir! I will continue to try and sort it out. I've just removed all VNAV button commands from my controller viat the .prf files, and will see if that works. If it doesn't, I'll dig deeper. Thanks, Tim

That's why the creator has to be careful what he creates. One day, you may be enslaved by your creation....lol Here's a clip. https://clips.twitch.tv/ResourcefulBovineAntelopeDBstyle Tim

Cycling the AP and FDs did not help. I actually did a second flight, and had the same thing happen. The VNAV came on with A/T on, but everything else off. I even tried to bind a button to the VNAV toggle, in an effort to stop it, but no joy. The only thing I've done recently is update the FlyJSim 727, but that is an SASL aircraft I think, and doesn't use Gizmo at all. Quite the mystery at the moment. Tim

That's good to know. Thanks for the response. Tim

Just did a quick flight from KSDF to KMDW. I programmed an RNAV approach, and this may be the first time I've tried an RNAV approach with the 733. Anyhow, I don't care for VNAV much, so I always fly with LNAV activated, and I control altitude and speed with the MCP. However, during this flight, everytime I crossed a waypoint, the VNAV would turn on, and try to take control. I would then turn it off, and resume MCP control, but at the next waypoint, the VNAV would come on again. I eventually just turned LNAV off, and that stopped VNAV from coming on by itself. Question: If a RNAV approach is selected, does this then force the use of VNAV during the flight? Tim

I know what route I was putting in, I think I can reproduce it. I'll try it again in few days. Tim

So, I'm guessing the cockpit in the video is the x737, or the XP11 737, and not IXEG's next project? Tim

I will try that. Thanks. Tim

Thank you very much for including night lights, now hopefully, that b-fest can be put to bed.....Hahahahahaha! Now if only you would include the tiniest bit of wing flex as well, to put that to rest too. Tim

I've had limited success with this process, including a Gizmo soft crash or two. How do you all clear out the current flight plan when you're enroute, and reprogram it to divert to an alternate? Tim

The other day, I was getting ready to do a VATSIM flight, and decided to program the STAR without including the approach, as I didn't know what would be in use on arrival. Well, long story short, many minutes of trying to delete route items, many INVALID DELETE's, a Gizmo soft crash, and several curse words, I decided to cut my losses, and just reload the plane, and start over. Is there a way to reset the FMC and start over without reloading the entire aircraft? Thanks, Tim

Oh snap! Tim

Yeah, you're right, that bottom one is way off. The first one is definitely correct. Maybe IXEG can fix it. Tim

Unless of course, "God" decided to change the real world atmosphere, and Newtons laws of physics to benefit Boeing aircraft, so that they had better performance, and were more fuel efficient. Two sides to every story... Tim

Your logic and example is valid.......to a point. But, with that said, neither you or I use XP10 and the IXEG 733 to commute back and forth to work, so I don't think the comparison is entirely fair.

Tkyler explained in this thread the reason for the long delay, and I can understand that the 737CL is a secondary business, but it is a business none the less. Once you hang out your shingle, and release a product, it's not unreasonable to expect it to be supported. Once you take another persons money for a product or service, the reasons for not having enough time to support the product or service really don't matter to the buyers. So, I can see avantime's point for sure, and I think it's a very valid one. On the other hand, for me, I guess I just don't care that much about it to get worked up. I too came from MSFS, so I didn't realize that the payware world was "different" in X-Plane, to put it politely. I'm still enjoying the 737, and will roll with the punches. Tim

Very nice! Is ARB going to be payware? This is getting me pretty hyped up for KDTW. I have quite a few aircraft wearing the Northwest Airlines livery, just waiting for a gate at metro. Tim

As I understand it when it comes to the SAAB, the coming update will make it version 1.4, and it will be the final update for X-Plane 10. After 1.4 is released, the next version will be version 2.0, and will be exclusive to X-Plane 11, and will not be backward compatible to X-Plane 10. Apparently X-Aviation has had the update 1.4 for a while now, but it's still hasn't been released. I too am waiting to buy the SAAB for XP10, but I want to see what the final update will address. So, my credit card will come out, once the update is out, and I see the user response to it. Regards, Tim

Hahahahaha. I could almost feel your anger as you were furiously clicking. The funniest part was when your glowing mouse curser was virtually touching the yellow flaps extended symbol on the attitude indicator! I think we've all had these types of moments at one point or another. Tim

I think you will have to send Jan a self addressed stamped envelope, and he will drop it in the mail when the update is ready. Tim

That's kind of funny, considering the real aircraft only took 36 months to design and deliver. Even funnier when you consider that the 36 month timeline started with the purchase of the land in Seattle, and they had to build the gigantic factory before they got to work in earnest on the aircraft itself....LOL.
