I almost always hand fly, and I noticed a chugging sound that is almost constant unless I am literally flying straight and level. Does anyone know what this sounds is? It sounds a bit like when you are messing with the trim.

Not available for MSFS 737.

When do we know that the aircraft is at the acceleration altitude? I guess this is when we increase the speed? Also, I just had to restart the sim, because the aircraft became unresponsive during cockpit preparation (EFB, FMC etc). Re-loading the flight didn't work. I then noticed that the iFly MAX8 Plugin is not is the system tray. Am I missing something? I previously replied with "On the NG (might not be the same as the Max), the pitch mode on the FMA changes from 'TO/GA' to 'MCP SPD' at the programmed acceleration height. (Pitch mode is on the right of the FMA)." This is actually wrong. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, you realise you don't... I don't think there is any indication of when the acceleration height is reached. At reduction height, N1 mode on the engine display changes from TO/GA to CLB, so setting them the same is a good workaround. The pitch mode will change from 'TO/GA' at 400 ft if VNAV is engaged on the ground, or when another pitch mode (LVL CHG or V/S) is engaged during initial climb. CMD engaged LVL CHG by default on the aircraft I tested on, so that will also work. Pitch modes on the FMA are: VNAV = VNAV SPD, LVL CHG = MCP SPD, V/S = VS. Engaging a pitch mode will also cause the bugged speed to increase from V2 to V2+20. Hope this helps!

Had some issues where the engines didn’t stay synced during t/o roll, had to abort the takeoff. And sometimes the aircraft can’t seem to follow the targeted speed in VNAV DESC, forcing me to change to LVL CHG or V/S. Other than that and a few other quirks, awesome aircraft! 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

I don't know the reason why; I've never seen the system torn apart. But some are more like a "clatter", and some are more like a "whoosh" (these are technical terms of course 😉) and some can definitely be louder than others. So really, there's some wiggle room here for all 737 devs to claim they've got it right. I'd say both the PMDG and Max have pretty plausible sound effects for the trim. If I had to complain, my complaint for both devs would be the same: the trim sound doesn't play without a delay, meaning that a very short-duration "blip" of trim isn't even heard. It's kind of... What's the buzzword? "Immersion-breaking?", when you apply a click of trim in the sim and you feel the effect, but you never heard the trim. Andrew Crowley

That issue with the engines not staying sync is due to joystick noise and will be fixed next update. As for the VNAV target speed - if it's in VNAV PATH it will prioritize the path over the target speed, so that would be correct. If it's in VNAV SPD it should obviously reach the target speed asap. EDIT: As for your increasing speed after takeoff manually when reaching acceleration height - that's also correct (called "bug up" in real life, usually to 200kts and then when reaching that -> engaging VNAV).

October 23, 20241 yr Still possible to do it that way but there is no need anymore to bug up in a MAX. You can perfectly arm VNAV on the ground already. VNAV will command pitch to accelerate automatically after passing FMC accel alt. Download my repaints at AVSIM.
