  1. Yes, this worked! Accumulating hours in the 737-300, what a wonderful plane. It's really a terrific job.
  2. Thanks your values are, of course, spot-on. Another side question: After landing and taxiing to parking once the plane is stopped I can't set up the parking brake for some reason, is there anything that should be done?
  3. Howdy, I would like to know if there's a tool or profile to get good fuel consumption predictions for the 737-300. I use simbrief but from what I have found the plane consumes a lot more than what simbrief calculates. I don't want to run out of fuel in one of the long flights Thanks! L.
  4. Thanks for the explanation of the lights. About the strange issues I think you shouldn't worry. The A/T issue I think it was because AT was armed too early (I come from the A320 so habits...) The braking issue I solved thanks to your advice about displaying the braking info, for some reason my toe brakes were getting stuck at max brake power even when released, just pumping the brakes a little helped getting them unstuck, now that I know why the problem happens I'm sure it's no longer a problem. Thanks for your help, the plane is fantastic in all aspects!
  5. Hi Jan, thanks a lot for the answers. About 1 it happens on the ground so I don't think A/T might be the issue and there's absolutely no way to stop it, and the throttles do not respond to my lever, when A/T is armed the throttles still respond to the throttle lever. About 2 I always have avitab enabled and I know hot to turn it on, the problem is that sometimes the whole tablet disappears leaving an empty frame for it. About 3 I will investigate. The problem I have is not only that the plane stops completely but that after it stops it won't move again. Example: I did a flight last night, after landing and using reversers to slow the plane I very lightly touched the brakes to exit the runway, the plane stopped completely on the runway and then it won't move, even with max forward thrust, I use the brakes and the plane gets glued to the ground. I will investigate what you mention about the Data Output tab and let you know values. Thanks!!! L. Sidenote: I have a very small question that I couldn't find in the docs, there are three lights on the far left side of the cockpit, one white, one orange one blue. They say something like "outer", "airways" and I think "middle". Can you tell me what are those?
  6. Hi! I just got the IXEG737-300 love the plane, it's awesome. I've been having some strange problems and I think maybe someone with experience might help me. 1. Sometimes the throttle moves forward on its own and I can't control it with my joystick throttle. This strange problem happened 3 times already, the throttles would move to the max on their own will and the plane won't respond to my Hotas joystick throttle lever, the only solution I have found is to restart the flight completely, if I do that problem usually goes away. I have removed XUIPC because I read somewhere that it may be the cause of the problem but today it happened again with XUIPC removed. 2. Sometimes Avitab just disappears, I have a blank frame for the tablet, other times it shows just fine. This is a minor nuisance but I have no idea why it happens. 3. Sometimes pressing the toe brakes on my pedals will cause the plane to stop completely and stop responding to the throttle, it won't move at all, it gets stuck to the ground. The workaround I found is to call betterpushback ask for it to move the plane, inmeditely cancel it and then it will move again normally. But the toe brakes don't work well even touching them causes the plane to stop fully and then it won't move. The 3 issues appear or not randomly, sometimes I have a normal flight, sometimes issue 1 pops, or 3, etc. I'm not changing anything.... Thanks for any help or pointers to solve these issues!
