Thanks, Captain Jan. Looking forward to your updated videos.

@Cameron Was this for me? Safari says the address is invalid.

May I have an invite please.

@axmiha If you message me I will provide an answer and, possibly, some supporting documentation. Cheers, Maestaru

It was Friday, end of the week.. To be expected

Hi Richard Not a typo. I am using X-Plane Settings/ Special Viewing Options/ LFOV. In conjunction, I set up all my screens using the X-Plane Ctrl + Num process. This way I end up looking exactly where I want, and the views in all my planes match nums 0-9. M

I have mine set to 7556.. This places me close enough to read the numbers without zooming in yet far enough back to see the first two waypoints on the FMS.. Screenshot to follow; working off my ipad right now.

I stopped using FSX due to continuous OOM when combining glass cockpit jets, add-on weather, and a frame-rate-eating scenery package.. When I moved to X-Plane I immediately entered a relatively stable platform, excellent scenery, the opportunity to build my own world via mostly free (and very well created) airports and scenery and, best of all, the IXEG 737-300.. I have never had a problem with system resourses.. I fly every day, and my circuit is all over north america, sometimes also to Europe. Everything functions better than I could hope.. And the 737 is absolutely amazing.. Like Jan said a while back, this experience is sure a lot more immersive than watching TV.

Excellent. Thank you. I was hoping to be able to get near a flight limit of 3000 nm.

Not sure if I even addressed your question, but as a follow-on, if you want the 27 coroute txt files I created, I would be happy to send them. Mostly North America, with a few in the UK and Germany, inclusive of alignment to runways.

I started downloading pre-made FP's from the free, online software FlightPlanDatabase then exporting the applicable data to a .txt file using IXEG's format, then storing them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 10\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic\coroutes. In a short time I have developed both a simple, repetitive process as well as quite a good list. Do you do the same? For me, it is at least a viable workaround until the import feature is added.

Hello folks. I have a question regarding the fuel capacity of the 737-300. The fuel planner provides a maximum fuel estimate based on 11.4 tonnes which gives an approximate range of 2000 nm. This is in line with spec sheets I have (e.g. "range of 2,270 nm fully loaded"). However, in the IXEG version, the tank capacity is 16 tonnes (centre = 6800 KG and 4530 KG x 2 for the main tanks). Why is there a difference? Is this tied to the ZFW and the GW?

What software is used to paint this kit? And are there instructions for producing a finished product that is livery level? Thanks

I have pretty-much figured out the FMS; it is very logical and, wow, does it make flying an excellent experience! Thank you all for your help. On a different note, does the Alternate Airport feature work? I am referring to: FMS/ALT DEST, "Request Nearest Airports" where no alternate airports appear in the list. Am I doing something wrong here? See my screenshot. Thanks, M

Thanks Poodster (and Mmerelles). So sequence is FP first, then load fuel estimates and other general details. Makes sense... The confusing part was: Jan is a very good speaker/ teacher and meticulous in his presentation, and I am the latter when following instruction. M

I am following Jan's "Tutorial 1: Basic FMS and Navigation", beginning 4:07 mins in. There is no mention about loading routes. I tested what you said in your second post, and it works. But the video is a stand-alone tutorial.

I am going through the YouTube tutorials with Captain Jan Vogel and noticed that my FMS is not functioning the same as his. On page 6 of the manual (and @ 4:07 mins on YouTube) Jan's FMS is lit; mine is not. As the video progresses, I enter all the data exactly as Jan does, but the EXEC never lights. Then at 6:36 mins Jan clicks on EXEC (lit) and says that this step will initialize the FMS to track fuel. That does not happen for me. I did notice at the beginning of the video that Jan had a previous flight loaded (KLAX to KSAN). I am not sure but is that making the difference here? Appreciate some guidance on how to EXECute my FMS, with light on. Jan, if you follow these threads, do you interact with newbies? I love your teaching style and the video end-product. Thanks, M
