It was removed on purpose to not clash with the XP12 ground truck GPU that you can "summon" by calling ground services. Also a lot (most) airports will provide GPU power via a simple cable from the jetway or some ground socket, so the old model was not appropriate most of the time.

On a second leg, when inserting TRIP FL at PERF INIT page, gizmo crashes
Litjan replied to vinileite's topic in Bug Reports
Ok, guys, thank you for the additional information - I will try to recreate the problem on my side so we can fix it. For now - after you finished one flight - maybe hit the "reboot Gizmo" option (right side pop-out menu) before you start the second flight. That should help with avoid the crash. Thanks again, Jan -

You are entering the cruise altitude on the CLIMB page?? -

Thanks for reporting back on this! -

Litjan replied to vinileite's topic in Bug Reports
Thanks for the report - I am still trying to replicate it. The gizmo problem said: Number expected, boolean received or something to that effect. Do you remember what you entered for cruise flight level? Did you enter FL240 or was there maybe a character still in the scratchpad (maybe a "space" that was not visible)? -
This is a known bug with Laminar Research and fixed internally already (XPD-14746)

IXEG 737 Classic for X-Plane 12 Announcement
Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
It looks like you maybe installed something wrong: 0:00:00.201 G64: warn: prefs.load(): No prefs file found! Gizmo could not find a preferences file. -
ice-accumulation and impossible to take off
Litjan replied to frankbyte's topic in 737-300 Aircraft Systems and Operation
Yep, tried on the latest beta 1...or maybe it was actually beta 2 when I tried today. And yes, it completely set all icing to zero and prevented any further buildup. I used the DATA OUT values that you can find with "ice" in the search box and also the "weights" field (it shows how much ice weight the plane has). -
Take Command!: IXEG 737 Classic Plus v1.5.2 Update Released!
Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
The logo lights are not required navigational lighting - they are purely for marketing purposes. Whenever I forgot to turn them on I justified that afterwards by "trying to hide who is waking people up at night with jet noise" . -

Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
You are confusing the 737-300 again with newer 737s (or A320s) :-) The bulbs for the logo illumination are in the wingtips of the main wings. -
ice-accumulation and impossible to take off
Litjan replied to frankbyte's topic in 737-300 Aircraft Systems and Operation
I just tried and adding a hold-over time totally and completely stops (and removes existing) all ice accumulation on my aircraft. -
Yes, the replay functionality in XP12 is still a bit "under construction" - and it has problems storing many datarefs that are needed to show the full functionality of add-ons. We are waiting for it to stabilize a bit more and then will see if there is something we need to fix to make our plane work better with it. There are some functions (like the FMS) that will never work fully with replay, but the lights should.

I will try the function myself - it is possible that Laminar changed something in a recent update... -

Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
You are confusing that with other 737s. We never had the altitude ladder, neither in the real 737s I flew. The logo light INOP appears when you choose the option "Winglet", as it covers up the logo light bulbs. -
Yes, but it should normally be off, unless someone actively turns it on or if the plane looses main generator power while on the ground.

An interesting question. The ZFW displayed shows the "REAL" weight of the aircraft, a luxury that real pilot do not have. I do not know if X-Plane provides a dataref to show the "pilots think this is right" ZFW... one way to prevent this is to use the default X-Plane "anti icing" function to keep the plane free of snow and ice until you take off (this should be done both in the real world but also in the simulator).

Litjan replied to frankbyte's topic in 737-300 Aircraft Systems and Operation
You can use the default X-Plane option to "spray" ant-ice fluid onto your aircraft to protect it from icing while on the ground. -
The view selection window was removed as it is redundant. You can set up and save views very conveniently with the X-Plane view menu.

I personally would not mix SAM and X-Plane 12 anymore than I would mix matter and anti-matter, but everyone can do what they like within the confines of their own dwelling, I guess

To me it looks like the turn radius is calculated wrong - either you are not flying it at the speed that the FMS "thinks" you should fly it, or there is some data missing for the FMS to calculate it correctly (weight, altitude,...) If you use the FMS correctly, the turn radius will be calculated correctly and the plane will fly it accurately. Have you watched the tutorial videos for this aircraft?

Thanks for your help, @Pils

IXEG 737 Classic for X-Plane 12 Announcement
Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
Yes, these should be good enough - the difference between a -500 at 45 tons and a -300 at 45 tons should be negligible. The -400 comes with stronger engines, so the landing distance on contaminated runways (where reverse thrust is taken into account) would be different. I am unable to share my original data for legal reasons, unfortunately. -

Litjan replied to Cameron's topic in General Discussion
Hi! You can use the included charts I added in the EFB function with the avitab...or if you don´t want to use the avitab, just look at the .pdf files. The trim you notice is the so-called speed-trim system, it is active with flaps not up and high power settings and is indeed an automated speed stability system. Did you look at my recent videos? I show how to use the avitab in the first one here (fast forward to 17 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehOXR__e9rU&t=33s Cheers, Jan -
Key command to set landing gear lever to off position
Litjan replied to Stephan737's topic in Feature Suggestions
Yes, that is on the wanted feature list. It IS kinda flimsy in real life, too, but we will provide a command for that.
