This sounds like maybe a default failure of X-Plane is invoked that makes the gear "stuck"? There is no failure coded into the IXEG 737 that will make a single gear not extend - if you fail the A hydraulics (either through the failure menu or by simply not turning on the pumps) the gear will not extend, but the manual gear extension will drop it. I don´t have the QRH in front of my, but going by memory pulling the manual gear extension handle on the cockpit floor will ONLY manually release the uplock hooks (they hold the gear in the up position). But if you still have hydraulic power holding the gear up, it will not extend. So if the gear lever is in UP and A pressure is available, releasing the uplocks will not do anything. There are certain failures (like the gear handle being stuck in the UP position) that trap A pressure, so to bring the gear down you have to release the pressure by first depressurizing the A system by turning off the pumps and THEN cycling certain A hydraulic users, for example the speedbrakes.

Hi Rob, Some people missed the email - mostly because they actively opted out of email notifications. The FMC is unchanged from the XP11 version, namely that it does not have certain aspects (you can read about all shortcomings in the pinned post in this forum, it is up to date), same for FMOD. There is no ETA, it is planned to improve/update these aspects, but currently there is no estimate on when that will happen. Cheers, Jan

Not anymore. It was a limited time offer.

We agree! Unfortunately coding such a functionality is a very big task, especially for a complex aircraft like this one. It can be done, no doubt, but at this point it is unlikely that this will be accomplished in the near term, unfortunately.

No problem with noses sticking out anywhere . But you are right, the FMOD transition is not progressing right now due to other things in life taking precedence and the current sound application works fine for the vast majority of users - to the point of where I am going to say that if it does not, something is not set up correctly in your hardware/operating system.

Finally a fruitful discussion. I hate it. Your´s?

Hi Bodo, yes, this is a shortcoming of the current model, the wings are "mirrored"...not ideal. It is on the list for improvements, but no ETA on those. For now it is what it is .

Every time someone asks, the project slips by another year . Do you have any further questions?

I am fairly convinced that if you delete (not disable, delete!) Better Pushback, FlyWithLua, LiveTraffic and especially Volanta, things will work again.

Thanks for reporting back. This is the common problem, people install shady add-ons in an attempt to "improve" X-Plane to their liking, but really this is like inviting a total stranger to sleep in your house...and then later on you wonder why all of the silver cutlery is missing . There are unfortunately a million dubious hacks/plugins and add-ons out there that will happily change files or art-controls that are not supposed to be messed with - and Laminar (and sometimes add-on devs like us) have to deal with the fallout when suddenly "hey, my X-Plane does not work anymore, I did not do anything, I swear!!"

Have you switched the dim/bright switch to dim? Also, are you running a standard X-Plane installation, or have you installed other third-party software that may change light brightness?

Unfortunately I don´t have a cure for this ready - the sounds are done with the OpenAL and on some systems they don´t seem to work right :-/

Thanks for reporting back...I really don´t know how a livery could affect the nav-radios. There is also the chance that you have the "disable downwind ILS" function enabled and if the wind shifts, the ILS signal will turn off for the downwind runway...

This is strange - does this only happen at one airport or at several? There is always the possibility that other plugins interfere (fly with lua, etc.) if you could attach the log.txt file from a run where the ILS did not work, I could take a look. Also, try to post a screenshot that shows the Mode Control Panel (where you set the ILS course) and the VHF NAV radios (where you set the ILS frequency).

Hi Patrick, just reading this - I am happy that you got it solved - and thanks for reporting back with the solution! Happy flying!
