Hi Jan It's fixed, since I have had so many stable flights, and nobody else has any similar issue, it had to be something unique! A few tests and I find when I active XP Realistic, the yoke moves to the right! I have assigned the 0 key for this, which is also aileron trim left...doh! I used to have it assigned to something else, which I will do now. I also found you can find what a key is assigned to in the keyboard menu, which makes it easier to prevent conflicts. Also want to mention the control delay (from my other recent post), I see now that the yoke follows XP control positions, so the delay I see is actually XP reading the joystick position, not something in the aircraft, I would still like XP to ready my joystick quicker, it seems delayed when moving "fairly" fast to full deflection. Playing with the control sensitivities doesn't seem to have any effect in this aircraft, I will look into it, no big deal. Wish I tested a bit more before posting, but thanks for the top notch support as always, especially on a Sunday morning! Time to get this Jet2 from Basel to Palma this morning!

Hi all. Done a few short flights recently but have a new problem. My understanding is that the startup state is determined by the setting in the preference menu, for me it's on Turn Around. With 1.1, I notice is doesn't load in this state, it's not in the state I left it in, it's not turnaround or engines on, it seems to be tunraround but with the APU off, on startup there is a constant buzzing sound until you connect ground power. The next issue is when the aircraft power comes on (ground or apu), the yoke slowly moves to the right with about 10 deg deflection, and this is now the neutral position of the yoke. I checked my stick and the control location in the data output and can see that the stick is centred. This is really strange and I think this problem may have started during a flight when the plane started banking right in mid flight! Also, this all started at the same time as I was having problems with VNAV, I couldn't get it to engage, couldn't get heading heading hold to engage, maybe because the yoke was off centre. I also tried to change a speed limit below 10'00ft from 250 to 280 (common to do in many places), it worked on previous flight but on this one I got a gizmo pop up error then the FMC wouldn't work correctly anymore. Maybe this is a VNAV limitation but this has worked before. Main problem is the yoke movement to the right and the startup state, I think they are linked as the aircraft seems to be starting up in a confused state. Screenshot below is after selecting read to fly in preference menu.

Hi Litjan Thanks for the detailed explanation, I was thinking it may have been discussed before. I've not actually found the turbulence too bad, I really enjoy it, reminds me of my glider flying days in windy Scotland, well, maybe a 737 shouldn't be so similar, your probably right then! Thanks again for your time.

Hi all When sitting in my normal view position for flying, pan to the right and click the L-PACK off/auto/high. Unless I click dead on the clickspot for this switch, he eyebrow window behind toggles the green blind. It seems the windows green cover can be click by pressing on the overhead panel. I think the clickspot for the switch needs increased a little and the window blind click spot altered so you must actually be clicking the window. No big deal but something to resolve in a future patch if possible. One other thing, I notice in approaches when using a lot of yoke input to fight winds and turbulence (approach to BIKF recently in crosswinds, the yoke seems to have quite a bit of a delay during aggressive inputs. If I rock my stick left and right fast enough, the yoke in the plane is delayed enough to be opposite of my input. I check the calibration and it seems fine, checked with other aircraft (smaller GA) and there is a delay but nowhere near as much. The delay in joystick cal page is zero so XP sees the stick in exactly the position it is no matter how fast I move it. I just wonder if this is deliberately done to simulate the delay in move the real aircraft yoke, or maybe it's done to give the impression of the mass and intertia of a real 737 when flying this way, or it's a limit of the code or XP interface. Looking at some really aggressive yoke control on youtube, 738 I think, it seems the yoke can be flung around really fast and I guess the real ac has no delay between input and control surface. Cheers Iain

Canny wait for this!

Well done to the team, a massive effort during your busy day to day work! I have not flown the 737 for a few months so looking forward to getting back into it. The only thing I need to work out now is how to get some good traffic in the air to make use of the TCAS, this is something I have not got my head around since switching from FSX to X-plane.

PNF love the trim wheel, knee busters! As seen at 44:00 when he jumps in his seat, one of my fav video's below.

Cheers Litjan, thanks for the update.

Great news, keep up the good work! Any chance of changing the cloud illumination from runway turn off lights to the wing root landing light? Only if does not slow down progress of something of bigger importance! It's only a "nice to have" and I think I'm the only one with this wish All the best Iain

1st shot, the highest hill at your 10 o'clock, I lived in a small village at the bottom of that hill for 25 years. Flown into EGPH hundreds of times in the sim and about 100 times in real life. Nice to see these shots.

Tell me how it works, or a link? If I have time I would love to join. I use VATSIM many years ago so I guess it's similar?

Nothing wrong with the question, there are plenty times with LOC is used on it's own before press APP, it's pretty common way to do it, especially if you want to track the LOC while flying the descent profile in another mode like VS.

Make sure your course selector is set to the ILS LOC heading, double check the frequency is correct or try another airport to see if the same thing happens there. Another thing to try is to press the VOR LOC button much early, a few minutes before you intend intercept it, set a heading to intercept the localiser with a typical angle, maybe around 30 degrees offset and see if the autopilot catches it.

Tip Top Tom! Will see what options develop. Cheers Iain

Hi Tested and much better for me now. Thanks for you work. Is there a way for the user to adjust the volume, I'm interested to see how they sound when they are a bit quieter. Cheers Iain

Hi Jan I like the shake effect, would like to keep it enabled, the sideways movement I find a but unrealistic like the OP experienced. I'm sure it's a hard effect to nail! Maybe it's possible to only enable the slight shake in future. Cheers Iain (Pink Ponk!)

Hi Using default lights. Ok, wingroots makes sense then Maybe it's possible to allocate this illumination to one of the landing lights. But's it's no big deal. Cheers Iain

I had this strange effect and I am pretty sure I stopped it by disabling the IGEX headshake option under preferences on the left side pop up screen in cockpit. Cheers Iain

Hi I noticed this too. Same with the FO course selector nob. Works opposite from Captains side.

Hi all. I searched but could not find a reference to this "bug" I'm having. When flying through clouds at night, I noticed that the clouds are illuminated by the left hand runway turn off light only. All the other lights have no effect? Is that correct? I love this effect though, doing plenty of flights to US east coast from Scotland via the Azores and approaches through clouds are great, as long as you remember to switch on that light! It also doesn't matter if the gear is retracted or not. Cheers Iain

Ok, good to know. Maybe slightly louder in the right would be enough. I have my volume loud (IGEX sounds are awesome) so any single channel sound makes you jump out your seat a bit If my wish is in the minority, it's fine to leave as is.

Would like the thrust set option, or takeoff power set? As long as it's set disable by default then can only be positive for those that want it Maybe a silly question, can the sounds be made stereo, just now they are only in my right earpiece.

Superb, although I must say I like the 1st vid sounds the best but all are great. Will try it out tomorrow.

Positve rate, gear up. I'll have the fish please... etc etc

Looks great!
