Thanks for letting us know! Cheers, Jan

You can´t assign those as an axis? Or assign the top position to a different "button" from the bottom position?

We used to have a compatibility problem with Xenviro a while back - I thought there was some sort of update that fixed it? Make sure you run their latest version... Cheers, Jan

Hmm, why don´t you just operate it with the mouse? You only need to operate those fuel cutoff switches when starting or shutting down the engines, so its not really that important to have them on a HOTAS setup. Second - for a realistic start sequence you would need to move them one by one anyway - you could turn them off simultaneously, though. Maybe you can experiment with the command "Mixture lean a bit" and "Mixture rich a bit" - maybe they control all engines at once? Cheers, Jan

Hi Mooze, those switches are controlled by the "mixture" setting, iirc. So assign the buttons to "mixture more rich/lean" or even to "mixture cutoff/full rich". Cheers, Jan

You need to remove all other third-party plugins (addons, scenery, etc.) and then try again. When you see that the crashing stopped, you can add your third-party content again one by one and find out that way which one is conflicting. Cheers, Jan

I am almost certain it has to do with some third-party plugin you are using (I see the little yellow "Boardin" in the corner)...try to disable all your plugins, then see if the behaviour persists. Then start adding your plugins one by one to find out which one is causing the problem. Cheers, Jan

Hmm, I am really not sure what is going on there. The gear and speedbrakes work with the default X-Plane controls. Make sure you don´t have any third-party code (fly with lua, etc.) messing with things... Cheers, Jan

Hi Volvic, sorry for the late reply. The stall warning test not working on the ground was fixed in April 2018 - it may have been to late for 1.21, but possibly included in a small "ninja patch" that fixed the aircraft having wrong drag in XP10. You may want to re-download the latest version (1.21) and see if that fixes that... Cheers, Jan

Thanks for helping out, Iain. I have no idea what the problem with the OP´s report is, so I didn´t offer any advice. Afaik it doesn´t happen if you install the 737 normally... Cheers, Jan

Thank you very much (again!) mmerelles! Jan

Can someone chime in on this? I have never used simbrief, so I have no idea how to go about that... Thanks, Jan

Hi Werner, while your fix may certainly get rid of the "erroneous" water spray from X-Enviro, it will also disable the spray/dust effects you would rightfully get when operating the 737 over wet or dusty surfaces. I consider it a bit of a rough remedy. I am not sure why X-enviro is having this effect - unlike "everyone" I don´t have it installed . You could also turn off your engines - this would also get rid of the effect . Cheers, Jan

Hmm, this is weird - have you added any Orthophotos to X-Plane? HD scenery? 32GB of memory is really a lot, so I could only see extensive use of Orthophotos really exceeding that. Cheers, Jan

Hi mrene, I haven´t heard of that one before - but you MAY have activated some sort of Mac feature where the mouse "jumps and sticks" to an input field or such. I don´t have a Mac myself (I am a gamer ), so I can´t really provide any further insight. Just think I heard of a feature like that in Windows... Cheers, Jan

Yes, I agree - we are on the brink of VR becoming useable without too many restrictions. I totally believe that it is the future and in a few years the majority of users will fly only in VR. What is still needed to make the breakthrough, in my opinion: affordable headsets, wireless, good FOV, excellent resolution, comfortable to wear for hours CPU´s to fire these headsets at a good FR without significant loss in visual quality (i.e. not pulling all sliders left) - note: Vulcan will not fix that! sensory gloves to be really able to manipulate the virtual cockpit in a realistic fashion For now it *can* be done, but there are always compromises to make - so many that still most of us prefer to use a screen, especially for airliner flight. Cheers, Jan

Hi Marc, we haven´t added genuine VR support to our aircraft yet. Most things work "out of the box", but there is no VR file for it. My personal rationale about this is that it is not really possible to use an airliner in VR yet (either the resolution is too low to read stuff or the framerate is too low when you run a PIMAX or the like...). Lets give it another year or two for that. In addition I think that any user serious enough to want to fly a 737 probably has hardware yoke/joystick/rudders. And my personal preference and suggestion is to use those for VR flying, too. Did you try holding the controller in another way (more centered, or tilted even more to the right) BEFORE grabbing the yoke - so that the "nullpoint" may be in a different orientation? Cheers, Jan

Ok, then I am out of ideas. You are the only one out of several thousand users reporting this problem, so I assume it is something unique to your setup. I would suggest removing all add-ons, third-party content and plugins and checking again with a vanilla X-Plane installation. If that runs ok, add your addons in again to find out which one is causing the problem. Other than that I have no suggestions. Cheers, Jan

Yes, that is what I meant. Hmm, can you try at another airport? Maybe there is something wrong with the authoring and your aircraft thinks it sits on a dusty surface - this will also cause smoke/dust like that. Jan

Hi Dooleybird, Sorry that you are having problems with the IXEG. 1.) Make sure you set up the sound volumes in the IXEG preferences menu that pops out when you bump your mouse against the left side of the screen. You can adjust sounds that way, and may have accidentially lowered volume levels. Also note that unfortunately some sounds don´t move back up to "normal" if you have them set low on the IXEG (like the airconditioning) and then fly another aircraft in X-Plane 2.) Make sure that you have selected a valid (or make your own?) hardware profile when flying the IXEG 737. It is just the regular hardware control setup that you need to run, i.e. go to the "controls" tab in X-Plane and go from there. Let me know how it goes, Jan

See if you have "airshow smoke" turned on? Cheers, Jan

Yes, I think you can set the "runway state" directly in the weather menu. So even if the sky is clear, your runway could still be wet. You may have to scroll down the settings in the weather menu to see it... Cheers, Jan

You have a "wet" apron - this is the default X-Plane "water spray" effect. Happy landings, Jan

This moderator doesn´t like the mention of the word "Airbus" or "320" at all . Cheers, Jan

Hi Max, unfortunately not. Sorry, Jan
