Is there a big update on the way soon? I read something earlier but cant find it. Holiday here tomorrow and then a first trip EKCH-LPPT is planned.

Any hardware support like CPFlight or Winwing?

There was an update to iFly manager when I loaded it this morning. I love the aircraft but for one thing that I hope they solve quickly. When I change views or go from full screen to windowed screen I lose the port engine in flight. I have to switch to full screen mode for my VR not to crash but when I step away from the puter I switch back to windowed and I always seem to lose the port engine and I cannot restart it. Have any of you experienced the same?

this from just a bit further above can be read as there is 1 patch coming and the final release v1 by the launch of MSFS2024 when they start working on the 2024 port:

as per hardware, I use the MiniFCU with Mobiflight, works pretty well some minor "issues" like speed is only shown as dashes and altitute can only be set in increments of 100s. but all fine

The update is still in the work but should not be that long anymore.. ( discord )

cheers 😉

Does anyone know if Comm 2 works. Trying to listen to ATIS on COM 2 with no success.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if its a bug.

 

Finally was able to utilize Simbrief profile - good! The bad thing is GSX profile is totally misaligned. The plane wings height should be adjusted to obtain proper fueling vehicle, also progressive refueling does not work as it does with PMDG or Fenix. Any recommendations in this matter?

As for progressive refueling I do exactly the same as in the PMDG (or at least as I did before GSX made this happen automatically): Once the GSX fuel truck coinnects and prompts to "load fuel via EFB", I go into the EFB weight & balance page, enter the total fuel and hit "set fuel". Then GSX fuels progressively (although the actual fuel is instantly added to the plane, just like in the PMDG)

There is Simbrief integration. Flightplan and wind data. What else do you need?

Does anything need to be done in order for wind data to be imported? In the Fenix I think it's done via the INIT page. I've seen in the MAX that there is a "forecast" option in the VNAV page - is that what I use?

all i had  done  was  enter  my simbrief id  in  nothing  else  nothing  more dont  know  why some  users  are  having  issues,  have  you  read  the  max  operation  pdf  page  4  expains  what settings  you need  to set  ( when your  in  the  legs  page  press the rte  data  bottom  right  and  than  you will see  the  wind  request hopes  this  helps

Thanks, I'll have a look at this on my next flight!

There are three different places to load winds. 

The first is in the perf init page; it has space for one wind entry.  Most people use top of climb wind here.  It can be uplinked with the rest of the perf data in reality, but not currently in the iFly, so this is a manual entry. 

Second place is the cruise winds, on the Legs --> Rte Data page.  These winds CAN be uplinked via the Request prompt. 

Third page is descent winds, on the Descent --> Forecasts page, as it sounds like you found.  These winds can also be uplinked via the request prompt. 

No wind entries are required; the box will just assume zero wind component for the whole flight for time, fuel, and VNAV path calcs.

Wow a great treat to my holliday 🙂 So far just passing boarding with the GSX and its amazing so far . Had just to express my feelings 🙂

Performance is on pair or better than PMDG so far

 

(forgot the sounds wow )

 

Also - i am using the PMDG 737 controller setup - any other suggestions along ?

Thanks

Guess not -  and i now understand why 🙂  simply  - i  setup my PMDG controller setup and all works as is 🙂

The RF SID ODN3A from EKCH was done nicely . I do stay away from Vatsim 🙂 They apreciated it i know guys.

The Performance in CRZ FL360 above the island FYN (in Denmark)is great - i have to recycle camera sometimes to regain performance? - otherwise small stutters) going from Drone to VC but simular to others.

Any 737 Lovers go a head

You'll probably find you want to change your reverse thrust binding.  If you use the one in the PMDG where you hold a button and then operate your throttles for reverse thrust, you'll find that works strangely in the iFly.  What I've done for now is re-bind my reverse thrust levers/buttons to "decrease thrust".

Exactly, here is a video that explains how. Don’t skip the Sensitivity settings as explained from 5:50 forwards.

Good point! Thanks for confirming that, as I have yet to try the 'Max. I also have "Decrease Thrust" bound on my PMDG setup for the "Flightsim Factory" 737 Levers (Honeycomb Bravo).

EDIT: Sorry, Correction, I have the "Reverse Levers" bound to "Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust", NOT "Decrease Thrust". For some reason "Decrease Thrust" did not work with my setup.
