January 25, 20188 yr This is a very nice modelled plane. I own her myself, however I do prefer the IXEG 737. The flight dynamics of flyjsim are sometimes ridiculous. Last week I was flying the 732 to Dubrovnik. Surface winds +35kts with gusts to 50! The 732 was UNflyable. One moment, fully configured for landing, the nose pointing towards the ground and 5 seconds later 15degrees up. I had no control of her whatsover so I failed to land her. I felt this was not normal, so I flew the same approach with the IXEG 733. Boy what a difference. Very natural response of the airframe in these winds. She was actually flyable and I did manage to land her without any skidmarks on the runway. BTW, did you know that the 737-200 is not a classic but an original? Boeing calls the 737-100/200 series The Originals. The 737-300/400/500 are categorized as The Classics. 737-600/700/800 being the Next Generation of course. Keep 'm coming! :) Regards, Vital Vanbeginne

Keep 'm coming! :) The flight model is currently flawed, due to changes in XP after 11.10. The elevator axis near ground is behaving very weirdly. I think we’ll see a fix with the next stable version of X-Plane. I love the IXEG as well, but although the ground effect is pretty annoying in its current state, I can’t stop flying the FJS Twinjet! ;-) And I managed to get her down at EDDK with winds gusting at 55kts, that was some serious work! ;-) Yeah, I know that the classic series is the 300-500 series. The „classic“ in the thread title refers to the 200 Adv being an aviation „classic“! :-) And, thanks a lot for the kind words!
