And this problem will be reverted for the next patch, too.

XP10 as well, I believe. Jan

For all you nosegear-door lovers out there: And for all the night-owls: Cheers, Jan

This will get fixed for XP10 users with the next update. Jan

Drive generator temperatures have been slated for improvement for a while now - not sure when we will get to that. Known issue, but thanks for reporting it anyway! Cheers, Jan

Airline pilots are pretty much the same...

There are no plans to do so at this moment, but we are not ruling it out, either! Cheers, Jan

The inner nose gear door is of utmost importance to the whole IXEG team, and especially to me. It is without argument probably the most pivotal area of the whole airplane - and we had to hold off until now to really texture it well and do it justice. Thanks for your patience! I have spent way too many minutes lingering near the inner nosegear door during my outside checks... one time the First Officer came down to look if anything was wrong, just to find me staring at the inner nosegear door with that dreamy smile on my face. Needless to say, we left late that flight. He also stood, admiring the beauty of it, until the ramp agent walked over to ask if we could finally get going. After we explained sheepishly, he couldn´t help but see our point, so the three of us stood and stared for a few more minutes. I later asked my employer if I could go ahead and launch my own (pay to visit!) website of "www.nosegeardoorsinside.xxx.com", with some really juicy pictures of that looker of a nosegeardoor, but they said no . I am happy that someone else is sharing my affection with this - often overlooked - very special area of the aircraft. Jan PS: I can´t believe that the 737.org is not even featuring a section about the nosegear doors!! Slackers!

Here you go: Jan

Hi Ian, thanks for bringing this up again - we simply did not have the time to investigate with you on how to incorporate this yet. Our lead FMS developer is still busy with another project, so his contribution for 1.1 had to be limited to the bare necessities in fixing the most blatant bugs. We will certainly get in contact regarding this in the future. Cheers, Jan

Just off the top of my head, the takeoff config warning will sound for: parking brake set trim not in green band flaps not at a takeoff setting (1, 5, 15) spoilers not all the way down (don´t "arm" them for takeoff!) Cheers, Jan

Hi Austin, that is really odd - usually this happens when the "idle values" are not adjusted via planemaker - the engines idle so low then, that advancing the throttle is just "choking" them and they won´t rev up. Can you post a screenshots of your enigine instruments at idle thrust, please? Thanks, Jan

Hi and thanks for the nice words. If you post in this thread, which is aptly named "ixeg-737-in-x-plane-11-how-to-get-it-work", I trust that you have read the first post and followed the instructions given there? Just want to make sure before I spend the time to dive deeper into the problem you still seem to be having. Cheers, Jan

Hi Chris, thanks for that elaborate report! You are right, the most obvious stumbling block for VNAV is a complex set of altitude restrictions, and those become more common all the time, with airspace getting more complex and crowded. We have a pretty substantial rewrite of VNAV in mind to be able to handle that confidently. Cheers, Jan

Thanks for the report! Jan

I hope you are not saying that the Captain´s head is ugly in any way? Seriously, something went wrong with your installation or registration - so your scripts are not running and the 737 is not functional. Cheers, Jan

Hi Sacha, thanks for your feedback. I agree that lighting levels in desktop flight-simulations are not fully recreating the experience you get in a real cockpit, but I don´t think that is actually possible with todays technology. But of course we will consider your input in further development, Cheers, Jan

...or just watch the tutorials I made for this plane for exactly this purpose

...and if all of that fails - just use FLCHG to climb! It doesn´t do anything different from VNAV, except that the pilot needs to set the MCP speed window to the speed specified on the CLB page (if you want to climb at that speed). VNAV will get an overhaul in upcoming fixes, and it is likely that you are not doing anything wrong, but that there is a problem with the VNAV calculation (especially if you have altitude restrictions on your departure). Jan

Rumor. There was something wrong with the very first few downloads of 1.1 (some files missing), so X-Aviation sent out an email to those affected. This may have started the "patch" for 1.1 rumor. We are, however, looking at re-instating the hotfix mechanism for "code only" patches, but that is still in the future. Jan

That may have been a result of your last landing...

Hmm, you said that your X-Plane failures menu showed the engine driven fuel pump failed - so you must have had failures enabled. We don´t trigger failures at all. The only other way to trigger failures for our plane (besides the X-Plane default failures) is to use Tom Stian´s great script. Cheers, Jan

Oh, there may not be 32 days in May in the UK. But then again, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road, too...

We may actually leave the cockpit-door thing as it is - as a reminder of the philosphical questions in life. How things can look different from other perspectives. How a door can be open, but at the same time closed. How things are not always what they seem to be...
