Hi, yes, this was removed last second (after I did the tutorial) due to some issues... we will hopefully get it back, but it´s also easy to just use a text editor to make your COROUTE... Jan

probably plugin conflict (soundmaxx, JARdesign, etc.) Remove all except gizmo and reboot x-plane to test. Please let me know if that helps? Jan

I think someone said something about setting something in the XPUIPC interface that makes this go away... sorry, can´t remember exactly what it was? Jan

Still feels good reading that, though...

Everything is worth a try... I have the issue (although its really minute) on my beefy laptop, but not on my (slightly less capable) desktop. So it´s not purely a matter of raw computing power... Jan

Hi Philip, fortunately I get these weird sound "cracks" on my laptop as well - so there is a chance we will track them down. Working on it! Jan

Well, if you followed procedures, your hyd pumps should be all on LOOOONG before starting any engines ;-) I checked with Tom, and he said that the accu initializes with 3000psi (full load). You may deplete it doing various stuff (pumping brakes) and it will likely not refill when you repos the plane - do a full gizmo reboot to recharge it. Good luck, Jan

And DONT enter PLAN fuel, as I see many doing... It disables the automatic function of calculating actual weight form ZFW+ fuel on board! Jan

Hi, all of this is correct - no wind calcs yet, so you need speedbrakes in a strong tailwind situation... This WILL be fixed and also the DES NOW button. Thanks for the report and your patience, Jan

correct, will be fixed...eventually ;-) For now just do like cmbaviator said! Thanks, Jan

check the custom commands for this plane - have to map it, its not default in X-plane. Read docs on how-to. Jan

Yep, that would be the outcome... we really can´t take credit for it, though - Laminar Research can ;-) Cheers, Jan

Try to disable ALL plugins, reload X-Plane and let me know? The "heartbeat" framerate graph is normal - we do some calcs every two seconds... might spread that out more later. Jan

use the hotfix 1.01 and then you should be able to use the old XPUIPC again. Jan

Ok, will look into init pressure of the accumulator - if you move, start the APU and use that to power the hyd systems... for now. Jan

check out tutorial #3

Please check the pressure in the accumulator - it is this gauge: If this is depleted (by pressing the brake pedals with no hydraulic supply running), the parking brake will not work anymore (just like in the real aircraft) Please be aware that the top indicator works only if the battery is on - the lower one (not relevant in this case) also needs AC power to work... Jan

Thanks for the reports - I would need to know the exact conditions (weather, scenery used, position, etc) to reproduce this - can you help me with that? Jan

And disable all plugins before you try this as well... thanks for reporting back! I have tried in winds of 40 gusting 50 and the plane didnt move one bit for me (on a dry runway) Jan

Hi everyone and thanks for the nice words - we are reading these posts with a lot of joy and some anguish.. . I am really sorry if your initial experience was not a pleaseant one and the whole team is cranking right now (like I have never seem them in the last few months...) to bring out the first update - with many more to follow! Cheers, Jan

Hi Jim, I think you should be able to! But I confirmed it´s not working here, yet - what an oversight... will add to bugbase and fix soon! Thanks, Jan

Thank you, Javier - this means a lot to us, especially coming from an accomplished aircraft maker like you! Muchas Gracias, Jan

I second Cameron´s advice... we hear your complaint with the noise level - I hate to say it, but I feel it is spot on, especially in being really bothersome . And engines are NOT the most prevalent sounds in a jetliner cockpit, I know that most users (sitting in the passenger cabin) have a different experience...Maybe some other 737 pilots can join in on the discussion and share their view? Currently the sound-level sliders aren´t working very well - the "cockpit" slider is also reducing the engines sound - we will fix this. So soon you can turn down cockpit sounds, while retaining loud engines. We are discussing making "realistic AC-noise" an option, so you can turn that lower if you need to keep the noise down in your house... Cheers, Jan

There have been some more reports on stutters. Here are some tips: disable other plugins (and reboot X-plane) temporarily to test if they affect this disable windows defender (or add an exclusion to the X-Plane folder) make sure you don´t fly with a MOD route - it recalculates the route every two seconds (until you EXECute), this is a heavy load on the CPU Let me know how it goes, Jan

We will think about making your choice persistent - but remember: No plane ever crashed because it carried too much fuel (except maybe Lindbergh almost on takeoff...) Jan
