Glad to hear I'm not the only one (though, sorry that you're also experiencing this). Interestingly, I don't have a problem with the A300 - that seems to work fine.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

The problem might be super isolated, but it doesn't make it any less valid. I'm a SaaS developer, and if I choose to use a dependency in my software, and that dependency causes a problem as significant as this, I'm expected to investigate and resolve it. That expectation carries over into any other form of software too, including flight simulation addons. At absolute minimum it should be logged as a bug and investigated so that, while it currently is super isolated (and therefore I don't expect it to be logged as a critical priority), doesn't come up again. My combination of hardware/software and OS is not at all uncommon either - Windows 11 22H2 Ryzen 9 7950X 64GB DDR5 ASRock X670E Pro RS with the onboard audio X-Plane 12.07 IXEG 737 1.5.1 I'm not asking for a solution, I'm asking for it to be acknowledged as an issue that needs to be looked into, rather than "I hope you find a solution". Spatial sound effects, or whatever they're called, are disabled. The drivers have been mentioned previously.

Hi again @Litjan, I did some homework into this, and it appears to be a pretty common problem with games and applications that use OpenAL. I came upon OpenAL-Soft which can be used to configure OpenAL on a system, and following some solutions for other games I came up with this as my settings: Unfortunately, this did not resolve the problem, and I continued to tinker with the Sample Rate and Resampler Quality settings. Adjusting these did make a difference as to just how distorted the sound was, but it did not solve the problem. I also uninstalled my onboard sound driver and let it fall back to the Microsoft provided one. This did not yield any difference. My final point of call was testing with other audio devices to rule out the hardware itself. To do this, I used a Rode USB DAC. Unfortunately, this also did not change anything. So, I can safely say that this is an issue with OpenAL. I realise this is not IXEG's product, but it was your choice to use it and so there needs to be some level of support over this matter. To say "Sorry that I could not provide a ready solution, I hope that you will find one!" and send me on my way is pretty poor. Is there a reason that OpenAL was chosen over FMOD, which has become very much the flight sim standard for audio?

I had a brief look this morning for hardware acceleration options but couldn't see anything. It's onboard Realtek audio on an ASRock X670E Pro RS board

Hi again Jan, I went through all the steps of disabling all plugins (except Gizmo and the X-A validator), as well as updating my drivers. This yielded no difference. Interestingly though, I happen to Remote Desktop to my PC from my work laptop and fire up X-Plane to check something today. The 737 was the last aircraft I flew, so I just hit new flight with everything as-is and loaded in. When I loaded in via RDP, the sound is perfect! This seems to suggest it's some kind of compatibility with OpenAL and my sound card (given that under RDP all physical audio devices are disabled), would you agree? After going through the above, I recorded a video as suggested. See below. The video is still processing at the time of upload.

Hey Jan, Thanks for your reply. I did disable things like World Traffic and xPilot, which did not make a difference, but I didn't try terrain radar or Fly With Lua because I didn't expect that they'd have any sound involvement. I have very little in the way of Lua scripts, so that thought didn't even cross my mind. I'll disable everything and see if that makes a difference. If I find a culprit, I'll report back.

Hey IXEG team, Despite this issue, I have been flying the pants off the newly updated aircraft and am really enjoying it. The issue I am facing is that in 1.50 and 1.51 my sounds are distorted - there's a horrible static over the ambient sounds (such as engine sounds, most notably in exterior view), and things like altitude alerts, dings (switching to ground power, APU power), alt horn, etc are either played at ~1.5x speed or a combination of this while also being very low volume. I troubleshooted whether it was the IXEG/Gizmo or X-Plane by: 1) Muting X-Plane from the settings - this did not change the issue because the IXEG sounds continued to play 2) checking other non-Gizmo aircraft - these all function as expected So it seems like this might be related to Gizmo, or something specific to the 737? If my description is not clear enough, I'm happy to record a video for you to demonstrate. Log attached, though from a quick skim I don't see any issues relating to sounds. Log.txt

Buffalo Airways C-FBAE - IXEG 737 Classic (Plus) View File Buffalo Airways, established in 1970 and based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, has garnered attention and admiration from aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike for its distinctive operational model, prominently featuring a fleet of vintage, piston-powered aircraft like the Douglas DC-3 and Curtiss C-46. These venerable aircraft not only serve as operational assets but also as flying monuments to a bygone era of aviation, reliably serving remote northern communities with essential passenger and cargo services. The usage of these classic planes, appreciated for their durability, reliability, and the capability to be maintained in-house, is driven by both practical and sentimental motives, including the preservation of a tangible, functioning piece of aviation history. In a compelling blend of historical and modern operational approaches, Buffalo Airways recently integrated a Boeing 737-300 freighter, registration C-FBAE, into their fleet, marking a substantial upgrade in their cargo transport capabilities. Formerly registered as EC-LJI, the addition of this jet-powered aircraft not only signifies an expansion in the airline's capacity and service scope but also symbolizes a convergence of the classic and the contemporary in aviation. This strategic incorporation ensures that Buffalo can continue to proficiently serve the remote and isolated communities of northern Canada while also exploring new avenues and opportunities in the cargo and charter sectors across extended distances. This livery is compatible with both the IXEG 737 Classic (X-Plane 11) and IXEG 737 Classic Plus (X-Plane 12). For best results, use alongside the RGMod (currently only available for the XP11 version at the time of writing), or the window plug mod by Recreation (compatible with both). Using this livery with the RGMod will also provide an under-wing registration mark along with the reg placarded on the panel.

Airwork B737-300 Fleet Pack View File Airwork is an aviation business based in Auckland, New Zealand. The Airwork Group is New Zealand's largest general aviation company. It focuses on fixed wing maintenance, leasing, and operations working with private and public entities on aviation operations, with a fleet of 737 freighters. It operates freight services in Australia for Toll Priority, Qantas and FedEx. It operates night postal services for New Zealand Post and Freightways through a joint venture agreement. Its main fixed wing base is Auckland Airport in New Zealand. The Australian freighter fleet has its headquarters at Brisbane Airport, with operational bases in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Darwin. Airwork owns a fleet of 15 Boeing 737 Classic, 3 of which are the -300 variant. ZK-TLE joined Airwork in 2010 and was originally painted in the Toll Freight livery, in which it operated right up until 2020 when it was stored due to the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on the aviation industry. It re-joined Airwork in 2022 and was repainted in an all-white livery. ZK-FXK joined the fleet in late 2019 and has operated with Airwork since then in the original colour scheme it had under the previous owner, Bluebird Nordic, albeit with the logos removed. ZK-FXJ is also formerly owned by Bluebird Nordic and joined Airwork alongside FXK in September 2019. It has also retained the original colours, though at the time of writing it had been through a hard life and had recently been photographed wearing one all-white engine cowling (right side), and one half-blue half-white cowling (left side). This is how it has been painted here for some variety. The paints are compatible with the IXEG 737 Classic (v1.3 XP11) and Classic Plus (v1.5 XP12). For a cargo appearance, you may use the RGMod (available elsewhere) or this window-plug mod by Recreation - the liveries are compatible with both, though the RGMod (only available for v1.3 at the time of writing) will provide the reg on the underside left wing and placarded on the panel.

No problem, completely understandable that this was a much higher priority.

To clarify, there are no further changes in this update? This is simply to resolve the Level 2 failure error and nothing more?

Where I am, it's been the 15th for 17.5 hrs. I'm ready for this to release now so I can start my weekend

Tell me you don't understand what goes into these things without telling me you don't know what goes into these things. There is a very good explanation of why we have been waiting as long as we have if you'll just use your eyes to read the thread.

You literally posted in the thread that's talking about the progress toward an update for XP12 compatibility...

Is it your first day in the flight simulation space? Nobody hits their goals/estimate. ini keep their mouth shut until the product is 99.9% complete, then announce a release date - that's completely different to what's going on here, where we've been kept up to date with the development along the way. It'll be ready when it's ready, and, as a long time user of the product, I'm grateful for that.

Oh, she's a pretty girl. She needs some paint though! What awesome news, thank you! This is a plane we've been needing in X-Plane for a long time. I'm really looking forward to it. Understandable regarding the textures. I get that there is a standard, but I also understand it's easy to get carried away and scope creep.

Emerging from my lurk to take a stab at it - 717? It's the only one of their fleet that doesn't already exist in X-Plane in some reasonable form. On topic though, I'm incredibly excited for the 737 to make it into XP12. Please don't let perfection of the lesser seen areas, such as the cabin and galley, get in the way of a release. Personally, I'd much rather get the updated aircraft with old textures in those areas and then get the updated textures as part of a later update. I honestly don't even recall the last time I panned the camera into those areas in any aircraft.
