No.

You are right - but it´s not on the one that we portray ;-) Cheers, Jan

Hi sthenion, why don´t you send me a PM with the changes you made, so we can check them out from our side - and then either incorporate a change for everyone, or post this as a choice for advanced users to make. Thanks, Jan

mmerelles is correct - but I am not sure if we will update the oil temp in 1.1 - it is really not a showstopper, but it requires a LOT of research and coding to get right (across all ambient temperatures, airspeeds and engine states)... In a way I feel that providing an accurate engine model is really on X-Plane´s table, not so much on ours. The current bypass engine modelling of X-Plane is rudimentary at best and we had to make quite an intricate coding cast to get N1´s and thrust correct. I will approach Austin in the future (once the dust settled around 11.0) and may work with him to get a good and customizable bypass-engine per default, and that should then yield realistic oil pressure and temperature values as well. Jan

Most definitely

Just do me a favour and re-check your settings for all virus- and anti-spy software. We had instances where people turned off those programs, but then they somehow "revived" themselves... So check with windows defender, avast, anti-vir, etc... This is just to make sure that we are not chasing the wrong rabbit, here. Thanks, Jan

This is what it looked like on our planes:

Its still "processing" - let me know if you still can´t see it in an hour or so... Thanks, Jan

Hi everyone, I would like to share my (somewhat emotional) own personal farewell to the 737 I flew for 10 years here at Lufthansa. I started out as a First Officer in 1996, flying -300, - 400 and -500 variants. Later the -400s where phased out. In 2002 I transferred to the 747-400, and in 2008 I came back as a Captain to my beloved 737. I got to fly it until 2012, when, with the reduction in numbers, I was transferred to the A320 family. Last Saturday saw the last commercial flight of a 737 in Lufthansa service, but the plane has a huge following among "Lufhanseats", and we were not willing to just let it go like that. So together with the 737-fleet administration a plan was made to bid farewell to the 737 in style. Two 737-300´s were scheduled to fly to Heviz, Hungary (the "FlyBalaton" airport) on November, 1st - spend the night there and then fly back to Frankfurt on the 2nd. After that there was a farewell event in one of the huge maintenance hangars on the airport. Here are some pics: Checking in at the airport: A booklet we got and my ticket: Arriving at the D-ABEC "Karlsruhe": Landing/turnoff light assembly: Our head of fleet, who flew us to Heviz: Me getting on board (I hate sitting in the back!): Taxiing out, we saw the second aircraft to follow us an hour later, D-ABEK: Arriving in Heviz, after backtracking we were greated by "water fountains" from the fire-trucks! The Heviz airport: Some detail shots in the afternoon sun: Even the mayor of Heviz came out to greet us (and he brought some local liqueur!) Malev flies 737s (or used to?): After a nice celebration dinner in a downtown hotel, meeting with many colleagues and friends and a whole evening of "talking 737" we headed back out to the airport the next morning. Our two fine "Bobbies" waiting for us on the apron: "Fanhansa" D-ABEK: My old office Departure over Lake Balaton, so lifevest mandatory! And getting off the 737 for the last time :-(((( After we arrived, there was the farewell celebration in the hangar: They REALLY polished good old "Neubrandenburg" D-ABEN: And our CEO and my former flight-school classmate Carsten Spohr had some nice things to say about the 737 (even though he only flew 320s): Finally they pulled the plane out of the hangar in a symbolic "roll-out". The aircraft will be flown to the U.S. over the next few weeks, some of them will continue to fly there. So if you see any of them, give them my best... https://youtu.be/18qiHDDA-DU Good-Bye, Bobby! Jan

I can´t check right now, but I think we tied up the volume knobs to the default datarefs, so they should work just like on any other aircraft. I don´t use ATC comm at all when flying (virtually), so I can´t answer this with confidence, but try to turn the reception control knobs (if lit, reception enabled, turn to adjust volume). Jan

Lufthansa, for one. Jan

You need to click real fast . No, you are correct - it is a bug and I see what we can do. Thanks for reporting it, Jan

Hi Tom, I am not totally sure if there is an extra logic in place if one AP is already in CMD...but usually the A/T will engage in MCP SPD if an AP is turned from OFF to CWS or CMD. So, yes, the behaviour is intended as we coded it. Cheers, Jan

Hi Tamas, thanks for the feedback - especially the constructive part! We are aware of issue 1 and 2 - and will take your feedback on #3 into account. Further refinements and additions are on the way in the form of patch 1.1 - which is due "soon" tm. Cheers, Jan

Just set the transponder to AUTO and you should be set (this is mode S, which incoporates C). To squak IDENT, just momentarily push the IDENT button. Jan

Hi and thanks for the report...it is possible that something got changed (messed up) during the course of the 7 frantic hotfixes we put out between the making of the tutorial and today... I know Tom has fixed a problem with the RTE page, which might just be the problem you experienced. As long as the LEGs page is showing the desired routing you should be ok, but thank you very much for reporting the discrepancy! Cheers, Jan

Thanks for the report, we have done some work on a similiar problem (where you have a sharp kink in the route), but this looks like something else... I will see if I can reproduce it on our 1.1 testbuild... Jan

Good find, guys! Added to the list. Jan

Ah, ok - I didn´t know that - I thought it was a live taping of the actual event. I would say let´s see if it resurfaces with the new turbulence model in 10.51r2 and on, and then we can take a look. Thanks, Jan

My wild guess as to the most promising cure would be: You need to invest in some capable hardware. Cheers, Jan

Ok, had a bit of time to look at the video: Something unrelated to turbulence is going on. The speed cursor is stuck at 250, yet the magenta speed bug on the EADI is close to 340. The FMA is boxed all the time (it should stop after 10s). The vertical page says ACT CRZ - indicating the plane is in cruise mode, not in climb mode.... Not sure what is happening, haven´t seen that myself. Jan
