Screenshot / Video WIP: LevelUp 737 Flare & Derotation Improvements

35 Upvotes

Hey all. I'm the guy that does the flight models for the LevelUp 737 series. I've been seeing a lot of feedback about strong nose-down pitching moments under heavy autobrake settings. I'm actively working to mitigate that with the next update's flight model changes. Here's how the 737-800 is coming along with regards to flare and derotation mechanics. This was a landing at AB 3. I was able to smoothly fly the nose down with the new changes.

Our real world 737 pilots on the team are telling me the nose down pitching tendency under high AB settings is realistic and should still be there, but maybe not as extreme as it currently is with the .51 update.

No ETA on the next update release, I got a LOT of work to do, but it's coming along!

After lots of development, I'm finally approaching the finish line! The scenery is currently undergoing beta testing, where I'm ironing out the last few bugs and making final adjustments to ensure everything is ready for launch.

I'm incredibly excited to finally bring Edinburgh to X-Plane 12, and I can't wait for you all to experience it!

Why is there no option to turn off ground vehicles?

11 Upvotes

I love X-Plane, don't get me wrong, but this is a feature I'm hoping will be added in the near future. It can be quite immersion-breaking when there's so many vehicles randomly driving around you on the ramp.

If anyone has a temporary solution, I would love to know! The few I've tried haven't had any impact.

I've decided to take the B77W to the Caribbean more specifically, to Punta Cana—to celebrate the end of the meteorological summer, at least in France. The heat waves seem to be over, and the rain is coming down hard. Pilots are also feeling the effects of the seasonal change, and sport flying and ILS approaches will be able to ramp up.

Rant Finally! Laminar Research Release Their Official Forums! I'm leaving X-Plane.org!

6 Upvotes

I just heard about Laminar Research released their official forums. I feel it's like someone is waking me up and given me an opportunity to defect from X-plane.org as a refugees. So I don't need to deal with my current nightmares problem. Ranging from unnecessary search cool down, strict and terrible moderation, censorship, even falsely IP-Ban me sometimes which I had to changr mu IP since my IP change time to time due to ISP's nature.

I can't believe I'm not the only victim dealing with problems in X-plane.org. But I'm looking forward the official x-plane forums continue to develop and release new features like freeware addons market place just like x-plane.org.

I'm looking forward Laminar release it's own store soon, so I don't need to deal with x-plane.org store stupid ID verification, and not dealing with terrible customer service including random false accusation for "sharing account".

Screenshot / Video IXEG 737 with the Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo Lite: Feat. MRM 19/10/26

55 Upvotes

A few screenies from today into a busy busy Sydney, here's some of my favourites, on the ground this time I captured from VATPAC's weekly "Milkrun Monday" event. As well as my experience with the Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo lite with the IXEG 737. I've used the IXEG 737 for 2 years, fantastic airplane handling wise, I have always loved the hand flying, feels very authentic, and what you expect a 737 to be like. I am not a real world 737 pilot sadly, but I have had limited experience in a 737CL simulator and 737NG simulators irl, and to be honest its quite close. The Honeycomb Alpha + Bravos come with 737 style quadrants, levers etc out the box, which was what cought my attention funnily enough. The roll feels a bit too light compared to the amount of tension in the pitch.. but the smooth throttle friction and other switches/handles feel good enough. I've attatched the Turtle Beach throttle quad under the desk, for some additonal buttons, levers too.

Plugin I'm working on an automatic livery installer for X-Plane!

3 Upvotes

The program automatically detects when you download a file and checks to see if it's a livery. If it is, then it finds out which plane it's for and sorts it to the correct folder; eliminating the hassle of having to go into your X-Plane installation and sort through folders each time you want to install a new livery. Just download and go!

This will be entirely freeware!

Low FPS over UK

1 Upvotes

It's too sad how I get 14fps flying over UK, got disconnected from vatsim and ivao.

PC specs:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D

RTX5090

48GB ram

1440p, high settings, no beta, just release version.

simheaven pro, xpme, airport enhancement package and global forest v2.

High CPU consumption, only over flying UK.

How do you guys have X-Plane 12 configured? nvidia settings?

Update on the AFL 737 max ?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone has any updates on the Airfoillabs 737 max. We used to have regular updates from them but nothing has been said since July. It was supposed to enter in beta this year if I’m not mistaken. Do you guys think that a late 2026 release is still on the table ?
