LevelUp 737NG vs Zibo in XP11?


Recommended Posts

  • Commercial Member

So after flying Toliss A319 for couple of years (and really enjoying it), I wasn't able to fly a single flight in A Pilot's Life v2 for a 3 months, so I got fired by Aegean, haha. So, I got the 737NG license and accepted the job in Air Europa, that has fleet of 17 B737-800.

To summarize, for some reason, I enjoy LevelUp rendition more, possibly and mostly because of the audio package. It sounds really really good. But if ZIBO (latest version for XP11) is more stable with LNAV and VNAV, and generally regarding navigation, I might go with it.


Your opinions after testing both?

LVUP uses an old version of Zibo as it's core, since then zibo have update a lot in XP11, so I'd say that's the way to go.

LVUP is already an abandonware, and Zibo for XP11 although still updating, not really much going on, their main focus is on XP12 version.

Yes, I'm aware of the facts, and that Zibo is still going strong. I also noticed a lack of features in LVUP version. But I've read somewhere that LVUP has better flight model and flaring, although, that was at the time after the release, and ZIBO worked on updates since then a lot.

I was mostly interested how LVUP performs LNAV/VNAV/descents/ILS captures, etc.

As I remember, -800 is OK, but others is disaster, it seems to me LVUP didn't adopt the AP system to their flight dynamic, especially longer and shorter fuselage would changes how AP should be tuned.

Thanks. That is a good news since I'm exclusively flying -800.
