Hi PROBLEM: From my very first flight attempt yesterday everytime the IXEG 737 got its rear wheels off the ground, a black cmd.exe window would appear advising to press any key to continue. The simulator would pause until you cleared the command window. Clearing the first cmd.exe would simply open another, then another, and another with no end in site. You are forced to crash/kill X-Plane to break the cycle. Tried the trick of removing my preferences from output, disabling LUA, and even uninstalling and re-installing the 737. None of my other aircraft have this problem, and it happens for the 737 no matter what airport I am at. End result is that none of my 737 flights until just now had ever got more than 10ft off the ground at the end of Wellington Airport's runway! SOLUTION: Found a thread in the Saab forum where someone had found it was the JAR TugMaster plugin causing the problem for that aircraft, disabling it when using the Saab from X-Aviation removed the issue. I attempted the same fix with the IXEG 737Cl and hey presto -- problem resolved. I've not tested it yet, but I suspect if I turn the plugin back on again after resetting the plane, I would have the same cmd.exe pop-up problems. I do believe I saw a wee note in log.txt right at the end around TugMaster when having the problem - so will look to re-create, confirm, and lift the relevant part of the log out to paste into here should it be of use to the developers. Hopefully the above helps anyone else battling the same problem as me. Happy flying PX

Hi Sitting here in New Zealand @ 5:15pm on a Saturday afternoon waiting semi-patiently like the rest of you :). Something else people might like to go look at given the level of systems detail it appears this model will have - AngleOfAttack's PMDG 737 video training material. I purchased and downloaded the individual files for their PMDG 777 course and used them with the X-Plane 777 Worldliner. Few minor differences ofcourse but generally pretty 1:1 and a good watch regardless. Lots of detail about how all the individual systems work right down to the APU, and a number of example flights. I've got the last of their 737 material downloading in the background now --- all 50+ Gig of it Thankfully we aren't charged per Meg here in NZ anymore. You do have to pay a separate surcharge to unlock the downloads bit, but not needed if you only want to watch it streamed - several different planes and courses, you just pay for the ones you wish to subscribe to. http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Hope it is of some interest. Right - back to waiting --- P.X.
