Awesome news, good job, thanks, Ramon!

There is an older version of XPUIPC that works - it is just the last version that does not...but I don´t remember the exact version number.

Just got home - this is the cockpit with all lights turned down (except for the EFIS screens and CDUs):

TCAS works - if it does not work with a third-party program (like live traffic or Traffic Global, please contact the vendor of those programs). The weather radar showing weather may be the tilt being too low, the beam will hit the ground and you will see ground returns.

...and while this is not meant to belittle the need to actually implement the HOLD mode, you can pretty easily fly holds with the autopilot fairly accurately and easily if you use the FIX page together with the RADIAL feature, and then use the map mode and HDG SEL and the stopwatch to fly the patterns.

Take a look at the big round white light fixtures behind the copilots seat - are they lit?

Hi Scott, The down lights are probably the map lights - you can turn those buttons all the way to off (in reality you push them in to turn them off, then turn them left-right to adjust intensity). I am not sure about the panel being always lit, some ideas are the "emergency exit lights" or the "cockpit dome light" being on?

It is still alive, but I can not make any predictions as to when the hold feature will be implemented.

I will doublecheck that - one can disable the IXEG camera shaking in the preferences, though.

Hi Nick, thanks for your kind words! There are - as far as I know - no plans to offer the regular discount again. However, there are occasionally sales on most of the aircraft for sale at X-Aviation, including the 737. As to when the next one will be, I have no idea - but if you are still on the mailing list as a regular customer, you should get notified when that happens. Cheers, Jan

Hi Ramon, thanks for posting over here - I am hoping maybe a user with some experience along those lines, or even @tkyler or @Cameron have an idea what the problem here is?

I don´t see anything unusual in your log - I would doublecheck for latest drivers and no overclocking...but other than that - no idea. And it is not a problem I have heard of before :-/

That is good, why don´t you let us know, too?

You have (I believe) three activations - so you can use the IXEG on three computers. As soon as you try to activate it a FOURTH time, you will be forced to FREEZE one of the previous activations, rendering that machine unable to run the IXEG forever. So I can not believe that - in order to activate the license on a second machine - you have to deactivate the first one. You get three activations before that step is necessary. Did you maybe install the IXEG on other computers as well (like a traveling laptop or on another machine upstairs or so)?

Hi there, switching to Win11 should not cause any problems like this - but may the configuration of your joysticks is off center now and this will prevent engagement of the autopilot - just like in the real aircraft. The autopilot will only engage if the yoke is not deflected. Let me know if this helped? Cheers, Jan

Thanks for reporting this! I can confirm the problem with the packs - the cabin pressure should leak, but it appears to be almost completely airtight (resulting in 0 rate of climb with packs off), I will investigate the code! The FLT/GRD switch only works while the aircraft is on the ground, as soon as it lifts off, it is automatically entering flight mode.

It has taken a while for me to test this - and it works fine on my side using the default X-Plane AI traffic. If it does not work with Vatsim, they need to fix it on their side, it may be that they changed something and do not adhere to the X-Plane conventions for traffic indication.

Yep, disabling Zink should solve this.

Hi and thanks for the feedback. Your point about the engine starting speed is known - we are using the default X-Plane behavior and the initial ramp up to starter cutout speed is too fast, a fix for that is forthcoming. However I tuned the full startup to take exactly as long as the average start does in the real aircraft. Your last point is also a know issue and well described in the pinned post https://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/8526-things-that-are-not-going-to-be-in-v15/ which I put up to be fully transparent to prospective customers about what to expect and what not to expect from our model (see the last point about the FMS). The other quirks you describe are unknown to me and may be a combination of third-party content (like your sound pack) and/or user error/hardware setup problems. If you could capture a short video of what is happening, I might be able to analyze what is going on - when you disconnect the autopilot there should be NO input to the flight controls whatsoever (except for the pilot´s inputs), so there should not be anything moving the yoke or interfering with your control at all. Cheers, Jan

Lol, we are not far away from the glorious future where chatbots will fight with each other...I will just have to teach ChatGPT to read these forum threads for me...now what am I going to do with all of that free time? (I certainly won´t have to spend it on developing the 737 anymore, because ChatGPT will find an excuse for me not doing it ).

Hi Joachim, thanks for the info - yes, they are a bit more weak than in 11... and the one on the tail is missing indeed, we intend to add it back! Cheers, Jan

Yes - this is not a flight phase annunciator, it it is the thrust limit annunciator and will indicate to what maximum value the autothrottle is allowed to set power to if it needs to.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dominik, I will doublecheck...

Hmm, that sounds weird...make sure the option in the default X-Plane flight setup window is set to "engines running" (checkbox checked). The only other reason I could think of is something wrong with your monitor resolution so that the mouseclick does not hit the right spot?
