And DONT enter PLAN fuel, as I see many doing... It disables the automatic function of calculating actual weight form ZFW+ fuel on board! Jan

Hi, all of this is correct - no wind calcs yet, so you need speedbrakes in a strong tailwind situation... This WILL be fixed and also the DES NOW button. Thanks for the report and your patience, Jan

correct, will be fixed...eventually ;-) For now just do like cmbaviator said! Thanks, Jan

check the custom commands for this plane - have to map it, its not default in X-plane. Read docs on how-to. Jan

Yep, that would be the outcome... we really can´t take credit for it, though - Laminar Research can ;-) Cheers, Jan

Try to disable ALL plugins, reload X-Plane and let me know? The "heartbeat" framerate graph is normal - we do some calcs every two seconds... might spread that out more later. Jan

use the hotfix 1.01 and then you should be able to use the old XPUIPC again. Jan

Ok, will look into init pressure of the accumulator - if you move, start the APU and use that to power the hyd systems... for now. Jan

check out tutorial #3

Please check the pressure in the accumulator - it is this gauge: If this is depleted (by pressing the brake pedals with no hydraulic supply running), the parking brake will not work anymore (just like in the real aircraft) Please be aware that the top indicator works only if the battery is on - the lower one (not relevant in this case) also needs AC power to work... Jan

Thanks for the reports - I would need to know the exact conditions (weather, scenery used, position, etc) to reproduce this - can you help me with that? Jan

And disable all plugins before you try this as well... thanks for reporting back! I have tried in winds of 40 gusting 50 and the plane didnt move one bit for me (on a dry runway) Jan

Hi everyone and thanks for the nice words - we are reading these posts with a lot of joy and some anguish.. . I am really sorry if your initial experience was not a pleaseant one and the whole team is cranking right now (like I have never seem them in the last few months...) to bring out the first update - with many more to follow! Cheers, Jan

Hi Jim, I think you should be able to! But I confirmed it´s not working here, yet - what an oversight... will add to bugbase and fix soon! Thanks, Jan

Thank you, Javier - this means a lot to us, especially coming from an accomplished aircraft maker like you! Muchas Gracias, Jan

I second Cameron´s advice... we hear your complaint with the noise level - I hate to say it, but I feel it is spot on, especially in being really bothersome . And engines are NOT the most prevalent sounds in a jetliner cockpit, I know that most users (sitting in the passenger cabin) have a different experience...Maybe some other 737 pilots can join in on the discussion and share their view? Currently the sound-level sliders aren´t working very well - the "cockpit" slider is also reducing the engines sound - we will fix this. So soon you can turn down cockpit sounds, while retaining loud engines. We are discussing making "realistic AC-noise" an option, so you can turn that lower if you need to keep the noise down in your house... Cheers, Jan

There have been some more reports on stutters. Here are some tips: disable other plugins (and reboot X-plane) temporarily to test if they affect this disable windows defender (or add an exclusion to the X-Plane folder) make sure you don´t fly with a MOD route - it recalculates the route every two seconds (until you EXECute), this is a heavy load on the CPU Let me know how it goes, Jan

We will think about making your choice persistent - but remember: No plane ever crashed because it carried too much fuel (except maybe Lindbergh almost on takeoff...) Jan

Also watch tutorial video 3 for more info on this Jan

Right - off the top of my head: Trim in green band flaps takeoff setting spoilers all the way down parking brake off Jan

And I already have an updated XPUIPC file for you from Torsten, the creator of XPUIPC. It will add compatibility - but please make sure that you install at your own risk and neither IXEG nor X-Pilot or X-Aviation can be held responsible for any possible adverse effects of damages you might suffer herefrom. You can also wait for the next hotfix which SHOULD be live within a few hours - it will also fix the AP problems. Jan XPUIPC 2.0.4.7.zip

Thanks for the reports, everyone. You can output the FPS in a graphical representation, using the "Settings" and "Data input & output" menus. Then check the third box from the left near field 0 frame rate. Now let the sim run for a bit, then go back and go to the DATA SEE tab. Here you can see a representation of your FPS over time. There are a lot of calculations set up to run "every two seconds" and you can see that in the representation, like a negative "heartbeat". I will add this "problem" to our bug database, it isn´t really a bug but more of a coding limitation. Just maybe we can try to even the load out a bit more. Jan

Hi PX, excellent finding, thank you very much! I invite everyone else with the same issue to try this and chime in on this thread, we need to get these showstoppers sorted out, rather yesterday than today! Jan

It is a warning. "Your throttle is at idle and your gear is not down! Are you sure this is what you want?" Happy landings, Jan

Just be aware that IXEG can not be held responsible for any damages that may spring from these "thoughts"....
