Yeah, the wingtip vortices where a "borderline" feature that worked ok in XP10 but caused some headaches for some people. We considered removing the effect altogether, and might do so for a future update. Happy you got it to work ok for you, cheers, Jan

Hi t4murphy, this is usually due to some other 3rd party program altering "art controls", like to get certain environmental effects, changed hue, colouring, etc. It could also be due to outdated graphics drivers. To troubleshoot, please disable all other plugins, then add them back one by one to find the conflicting one. Thanks, Jan

Hehe - at my real job I deal with roughly 800-1000 customers every day, and let me assure you, sometimes the customer is a total idiot . Now to elaborate a bit more in relation to this post: I don´t think that Shobhan Nandy falls into that category. But I think he is victim of false expectations. I think he is really really REALLY fascinated with the details of the FMC and I must say that we did not develop this aircraft to be a training tool for FMC technicians. What does the term "study level" entail? Well, there are different perceptions, but I don´t think that any software exists (and that includes all LEVEL-D simulators) that can truthfully simulate the real aircraft´s behaviour in all circumstances. I am fully aware of our FMC´s shortcoming (although I never even knew the " version, revision and update version no. " of the FMC when I flew the real aircraft). We have placed emphasis on recreating the experience of flying a 737-300 in a realistic, "close to true life", fashion. I don´t even know some of the features that Shobhan is talking about (capture mode? Agility tuning?). We get good feedback on the areas that matter to me as a pilot (flight model, system modeling) and we are planning to work on the FMC some more in the future. I am not happy with the speed of updates myself, but it is what it is, to quote someone I know . Study level? Certainly not for the FMC, I agree. I can´t say if the Zibo mod is better than our aircraft, haven´t tried it myself. Cheers, Jan

Well, here is all I want to say about the OP´s post: You are entitled to your opinion. Cheers, Jan

Hello Phillipp, here is the link to the original thread with the problem. fabiosko seemed to be able to trigger this one fairly reliably, but I am not sure how much he still experiences this. I will also PM you with some info on this. Thanks for helping us out, Jan

Hi shabani, I don´t think the problem lies with x-aviation or that they can do anything about your sound problem. We have our own IXEG custom sound engine providing the 3D-sound for our add-on and there is a chance that a combination of sound chip/hardware properties and/or other add-ons could cause your problem. At this point it is unlikely that we can fix or help you with your problem, especially since you are the only one who has reported it. I am sorry that you have a degradation in sound quality, but we can not recreate the problem and therefore not fix it. Cheers, Jan

Thanks, Ben - I dare not to tinker too much with my router settings. I remember an unfortunate attempt a few years ago to open some specific ports and that went really not well at all. I prefer the "get the long LAN cable out of the basement and run a bypass" solution . Cheers, Jan

Update: Finally got it to work, and I am posting how here to help other people with the same problem and X-Aviation in troubleshooting the problem. This is how my computer is connected to the internet: 1.) The signal (DSL) enters the house and goes into a WLAN router. 2.) The line goes from the WLAN router into a second WLAN router (in my office), type Netgear WGT624. 3.) The line goes from the second router into my computer. This configuration did not work with the download. However, when I plugged my computer directly into the first router (bypassing the Netgear), things worked flawlessly. Off to some winter flying! Jan

By using a conversion table - and now look at that: It is mounted right in the cockpit for your convenience. Gee whiz! Jan

Update: Tried with the firewall off, seems I got a bit further this time - about halfway...

Hi Cameron, yes, I run the regular firewall that comes with Win10... I always get the message at the same "spot" in the download, when about 1/3rd through the first (of three) packages. Never had a problem with downloading from X-Aviation before, so this is somewhat puzzling... Cheers, Jan

Hi everyone, during the download I got this error several times - only "ignore" allowed me to get past it (see attached screenshot). Then, during an attempt to load seasons into X-Plane, I get an onscreen warning and this in my log.txt: 0:00:00.000 D/HID: HID Bridge Running 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | There was a problem loading the scenery package: 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | Custom Scenery/SeasonsXP/ 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | The scenery may not look correct. 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | Please see the Log.txt file for detailed error information. 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: | (io_locate.cpp:394) 0:00:00.422 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:00.422 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/SeasonsXP/library.txt: 0:00:00.422 E/SCN: Incorrect version for scenery library file. Will skip. Running XP11.20. Any ideas? Thanks, Jan

Hi Patrick, we use a whole bunch of custom code to control systems, so not everything that works for the default planes will work for ours...however: I don´t have the PFC but you may want to check any buttons for moving "mixture" to lean or cutoff, I think. The engine controls are pretty much default X-Plane, and when they run, the only thing stopping them is either the "mixture" setting (emulated by the idle/cutoff switches) ... or you may be toggling the fire switch inadvertantly (check on the center pedestal if one is "up" a little bit)... For the spoiler, reversing the direction may work - or it may be assigned to a lever so it won´t react to button input, no idea how you try to control it. Good luck, Jan

Thanks for letting us know it worked for you! Cheers, Jan

Hi everyone, I discussed the behaviour with Laminar Research, and they found this out: ************************************************************************ I got to the bottom of this. There is a nosewheel spring constant entered in Plane-Maker for the IXEG that is NOT in the LR 737. More details: 1. X-Plane 10 allowed a spring constant on a nose wheel or tail wheel, e.g. think bungee steering on a C172. 2. X-Plane 11 supports this ONLY for tail wheels - the code for bungees is a little hacky and doesn't work with the newer wheel physics in v11. Having proper nose wheel bungees is on Austin's future todo list, but for now X-Plane only uses this for the tail wheel (true for ALL of v11) for 11.30 Austin has a wording change coming until we fix all of this. 3. X-Plane wheel steer with differential brakes automagically if the plane has bungees OR castoring. So: set the spring force to 0 (correct value for an airliner, right??) and the brakes will stop braking. In the future we (LR) may start ignoring this variable if there is no tail wheel. ******************************************************* So please try to change this (if you are affected) in planemaker: Opem the 733.acf in planemaker, then open STANDARD/LANDING GEAR and click the GEAR DATA tab. In th top right corner you can see the "nosewheel spring force" - it is currently set to 30. Try to set it to 0 and let me know if this fixes the problem! If this fixes the problem, we will change this for the next update! Cheers, Jan

Good to hear you got it solved! Jan

I looked at your log.txt and you are running more (possibly conflicting) plugins than I could count in an afternoon . I would ask you to remove them (temporarily) to find out which one is the culprit. My money would be on flywithlua or FSUIPC, possibly also the python interface. There is a boatload of warnings about "unassigend joystick axis" in your log as well, so I am not surprised that something isn´t working right... Cheers, Jan

Its not modeled in the IXEG 737, but certainly works in the real aircraft. We are planning to add it later - a (poor) workaround is making the point visible with the FIX page (enter a bearing and a radius, use HDG SEL to fly to the intersection of those). Cheers, Jan

Hi Ian, this sounds exactly like the problem Stephan describes. I have filed a report with Laminar - I can not figure out what our plane is doing differently from the default 737 (where just one axis for yaw works fine...) Cheers, Jan

Ok, I have just tested myself: The same thing happens to me, if I only assign one axis to "yaw", but no other axis to "left brake" and "right brake". Iirc Austin talked about this - as a mean to "help" people turn the aircraft if they can´t use brake pedals. Some smaller aircraft need to use the wheelbrakes to help turn the aircraft... I am not sure when they implemented this, but I will file an (angry) bug report right now. For you the only option right now is to live with it, or assign some other axis to "wheel brake left" and "wheel brake right". Ideally get some rudder pedals with brakes, they are pretty much essential for realistic flying, anyway. I will let you know what they say, Jan

Hi Stephan, put out the values for gear steering and brakes to screen (using the Data Out tab). That way you can see what is going on. I don´t know how you control the wheel (rudder pedals, twist stick, mouse?), so I can´t say anything but that this is not what I see on my end Cheers, Jan

Thanks for the feedback! No idea why your autobrake disarms . All other points are known, noted and agreed upon, we hope that we can remedy those in the near future! Cheers, Jan

If you check out the airport in the map view (M) you can see that the opposite ILS (runway 10L) also has the frequency 111.10. I think it may be possible that you are catching a signal for that ILS inititally. To check that theory, click the checkbox on the general setting page in X-Plane 11 that says "Disable downwind ILSes". Let me know how that goes! Jan

The answer to your question is in the text you quoted. Please post again if you are having trouble finding it! Cheers, Jan

Hi, you will need to file a ticket with X-Aviation if you are having a problem with the license. The normal download contains the latest gizmo version, so there is no need to download that extra. If you are having problems with your license, only the support at X-Aviation can help you. Cheers, Jan
