Tried the VOR intercept and it worked fine for me - can you give me some repro steps on that, too, please? (you DID remember to set the course on the MCP, right? I think the NG will do this automatically, Classics won´t and once in a while you will have to buy a beer for your colleague when the plane does the wrong turn on the ILS intercept because you forgot )

Especially embarassing if you are standing in the way with 5 other guys waiting for pushback and you can´t taxi out yet because you have to do an ELAC reset

@CptIceman Hmm, I just tried an engine spool up at sea level and I am getting 24.8% N2 even at +25C. See attached pic. Also tried the "idle taxi" you reported and the plane will break free readily at 22% idle N1 and pick up speed briskly with a weight of 50t (110k lbs). I am wondering if you maybe have some sort of plugin that interferes with our IXEG? I also could not easily reproduce the lua error you got for the "erazing of approach", could you give me some further steps that helps me reproduce it? Trying VOR interception next...

Thanks for those two reports - especially the lua error is a super high priority fix! Keep `em coming!

Hi, first - lets try to stick with english here, so we can all understand each other. Second, thanks for your observations!

Try a (hard) landing and see

@berilojr If you want to, post your vrconfig.txt here for now so people can use it in the interim until we can get the fixed version in. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the tip - I think the goal is to have this working without the restart, but as with all things "computer" - a restart often miraculously helps (I flew Airbus for a while )

Use the command "Autopilot take-off go-around".

Thanks for the feedback and nice words!

I would debate "normally". They were an option but my impression is that they were the exception, rather than the rule.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Reading all posts, taking notes!

If you get stuttering when you modify the route in the FMS, make sure to exclude the X-Plane folder from Windows Defender live virus checking.

Check sound device settings for Windows AND also for X-Plane (sound menu). Restart computer also sometimes helps.

Hi @judeb, I think what is probably happening (I just tested this) is that the autopilot stay on when you override the modes (the green CMD still shows) but you revert to CWS (control wheel steering) modes (shown in yellow). You can´t disengage the autopilot by moving the joystick, it will only fall back to CWS and the autopilot warning light flashes (but no warble).

Hi @blondejfx I just tested this and for me the trim does not start to run if I ONLY use the Flight Directors.

I have had reports of the VRconfig file missing, I will doublecheck and fix if I can verify that!

Let me know how this works for you! I agree, you never forget your first airliner, I get on my FO´s nerves by reciting the "Leaving airplane checklist" from memory when we shut down our 747-8´s IRS mode selector - off Fuel pumps - off Galley power...

Thanks for letting us know about this! I also wonder what you thought of KABQ (I made the default airport in XP12)

There is now a default GPU on many airports in X-Plane that you can request via the ground services menu. I realize that this GPU just drives up, stays for a while then leaves again (and that it´s presence does not coincide with the availability of ground power), but we did not want that GPU to "clash" with the default one. Also, often ground power comes not from a cart (this is nowadays the exception), but from a fixed wire at the jetbridge or from a ground socket.

It will take a while - you probably have a "Level 2" activation issue like many other people, X-Aviation will come up with a solution very shortly, I am certain.

You can input the total weight from the X-Plane menu into the GW (grossweight) field of the PERF page and then the FMS will calculate the ZFW (and fill the box) for you. Check your fuel level if you start "engines running" but they don´t run. If that still does not work, follow standard X-Plane bug resolving protocol, remove all other plugins and retest.

Hi John, we are in the transition to a better load&trim page - for now please use the default X-Plane weight and balance menu. Unfortunately the default X-Plane menu does not detail the zero fuel weight, but if you just read off the "Gross Weight" and then enter this into the 737´s FMS, the PERF page will do the calculation for you and the ZFW will appear. Hope this helped, Jan

Strange, thanks for reporting, I will check and file if I can confirm it.

@Meg4VoltKnown problems but thanks for reporting - "next days" will be a bit ambitious for the update, but we will hurry ;-)
