The problem you are facing is that you don´t read or don´t understand what we wrote to you in this thread. It may be because you don´t understand english very well, or because you don´t have the necessary background in aviation or computer literacy or simply because you have a hard time reading and/or listening to people. Excuse me for being blunt, but my time is also not limitless and it is frustrating to talk (type) to people who don´t seem to read a single word I write. At any rate - the explanation and the solution to your problem was mentioned in the thread and we can´t provide support to those facing the above mentioned barriers. Happy landings, Jan

I don´t know who you sent a ticket to, but if it is to X-Aviation, you will not get a solutionr to your problem from them - they are responsible for technical support in relation to your purchase, the download or the installation not working. Anything not working on the plane itself (aircraft bugs/deficiencies) is handled by us (IXEG) through these forums. If you are experiencing a X-Plane bug, you need to tell Laminar Research through their bug report form. Cheers, Jan

Hmm, never heard of that. The only alarm bell in the aircraft is the fire-bell... and that should have nothing to do with the parking brake. There is the remote possibility that you have assigned the same key (V) to the parking brake and possibly also the fire-test button...I have seen strange things happen like that (people assigned B to brakes and beacon, for example)... If checking your assignments doesnt help, maybe post a short video of it happening? Cheers, Jan

Spoilers SHOULD be available in replay if you pick the preference of "show custom animations in replay" - at least on my system. Yes, the ground spoilers "pop up" too quick, sometimes, but visisble they are. Jan

The real cockpit is a deafening place. There is a reason we are forced (by rule) to wear noise-compensating headsets or hearing protection. It is common practice to lower the volume in the Level 4 simulators to 50%, just so the students and instructor can talk with each other (not over the intercomm). I don´t expect our users to play at realistic sound levels (what would the families and neighbours say?), but I think the sound is a good portion of the experience of what it is to fly in a 737 cockpit, a loud, rattling, shaking, dusty, warn and too cold or too hot place, stained with sweat and coffee . Cheers, Jan

Yes, I have been able to reproduce it, too. To tell you the truth, X-Plane´s replay system is not working well with custom-coded aircraft. It is just tracking and recording basic default parameters, and anything coded by third party developers won´t be recoded. So during replay everything custom made will not be working. The gear lever with his three positions (up, off, down) is one example of this. The logic is running during the replay, interfering with the recorded gear position. I am not sure how this could be fixed, so for now we have to live with those shortcomings, I am afraid. Cheers, Jan

Yeah, we never got around to changing that - if I recall the internal discussion it wasn´t as easy to change as I thought it would be. I am actually very happy with the windshield wiper sound - look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36DxYzNTFI4 It is a very loud and crude device. Our (well, especially mine) goal is to make the 737 as realistic as possible - including the not so convenient aspects. I was already overruled and we added a volume slider for the aircondition, don´t expect my help to nerf the windshield wiper sound . Cheers, Jan

Correct - on "AUTO" the cabin lighting will go off/dim/bright dependent on flight phase (crude implementation) - but due to an X-Plane bug the light will spill into the cockpit, even though the door is closed. The workaround is to keep the seatbelts set to ON all the time. Cheers, Jan

Or you can just do it like me - copy the new (Navigraph) data not only into the /Custom Data folder, but also into the /Custom Scenery/Global Airports/Earth Nav Data folder - then you will also use the new and updated data for all ILS approaches. Downsides: The LOC may not be exactly on the runway centerlines (on slightly misaligned airports) and you will be prompted to overwrite the data on every X-Plane update... However: The thing that is really interesting about this is that the OP said that he got the frequency for the ILS (109.75) from the X-Plane map, but X-Plane seems to use 109.70. So there are some possible reasons: 1.) A bug in X-Plane, possibly taking the data for the map from another source than the data for the actual indication 2.) A language barrier problem, maybe the OP took the ILS frequency from another (third party) "map", not the one in X-Plane Jan

The frequency that X-Plane uses is 109.70 in X-Plane and that works fine. The frequency MAY be 109.75 in the real world (it is according to my charts) - but X-Plane uses 109.70. If you see 109.75 on the map, file a bug with Laminar Research, because there may be the old "curated nav data" dilemma at work here. X-Plane will NOT use any updated data source like Navigraph or Aerosoft for the ILS approach information. The only way to change those is to file a bug report on the Scenery Gateway site, so Robin Peel can change the data manually. The reason is that they don´t want ILS approaches that don´t line up perfectly (because maybe the airport isn´t in the right spot). Further reading: https://developer.x-plane.com/?article=navdata-in-x-plane-11 Jan

Here is somethting to try: Tune the correct frequency of 109.70 Mhz for the ILS 22 EDDC (IDRW). I don´t think it ever was 109.75... Let me know how that goes!? Cheers, Jan

Thanks for helping out, mfor! We get this a lot - the "disable downwind ILS" option gets new users all the time . Cheers, Jan

It looks like you are right - you can´t see the inboard landing lights when in the cockpit (even with the window open), but if you move to the cabin and then out of the fuselage (there is no camera cage there), you can. This is not really considered a "valid" view, though - there is a distinction in X-Plane between "in cockpit" and "external" views - and some things (like what to display in which scenario) are defined in relation to that. The light-sources is one example, appearantly (even though you can see it´s effect on the ground from the cockpit). Not sure if this is something we can fix, really. Jan

This is not so totally uncommon in the real plane - sometimes the speedbrake still sits "on" the rail after not pushing it forward all the way - not enough to really be obvious, but enough for the warning to trigger. So the first instinct when you get the takeoff config is to slam on the speedbrake lever . Cheers, Jan

Try to fly with the option "show vortices" in the preferences menu turned OFF. This helped some users! Cheers, Jan

Possibly thrust levers not idle at touchdown? Cheers, Jan

Before the end of a week, yes!

No idea what you are doing wrong, except that you are doing something wrong :-) I recommend watching the enclosed tutorial videos and do like I do in them and you will learn how to fly an ILS. Happy landings, Jan

Before the end of a year!

...and if you find out, I would be interested, too. It may have to do with framerate (recording interval) or with the length of the previous flight (amount of storage space for recorded data) - but that is total guesswork on my side. Cheers, Jan

It "could" be done in 2018. And I am hoping it will, but I can´t promise anything. Jan

Hi, I am not going to stick my neck out with any predictions about the remaining FMS work - but it is high on our priority list. The flightmodelchanges in 11.10 are not something you will notice, likely. They don´t take effect yet (since you are not running a re-saved .acf) and the new (re-saved) .acf is adapting to the flightmodel changes, so the plane will fly just like pre-11.10 . Cheers, Jan

2018. I don´t know if you read the previous info, but don´t expect too much from this interim patch. The only thing you will probably notice is added reflections for the cockpit instruments. Beyond that it is some stability fixes to the FMS, but nothing else. Certainly not enough to mash your refresh button constantly . Jan

Well, the "two step" deployment you see is realistic - at the first touch you can see the flight-spoilers deploy (wheel spin-up) and on the second you can see the ground-spoilers deploy as well (they need main gear strut compression to come out). The wheels are not something we mess with - the amount of smoke is done by Laminar Research and beyond our control. Jan

Sorry, I can´t comment on liveries showing Ryanair
