Michael Moe It's all I have been flying now. I think the PMDG 737 is going to start gathering dust.

Indeed , i love ALL of them 🙂 my next half year of flying is a bland of 737-900 - MAX and the 777-300ER. I hope Winwing eventually will support all 737´s Michael Moe Edited January 31, 20251 yr by Michael Moe Michael Moe

If you fly in APLV2, after you land while still on the runway, APL thinks the taxi light is the landing light, so, turn off the taxi light otherwise you will lose 1 point. All 100's after I found out about that.

All 100's after I found out about that. Good tip, so FSFO does turns off the Landing Lights, that's fine, is there an option to have the FO turn off the Taxi Lights as well? I usually get clipped for forgetting to turn off the Taxi lights before shutdown and do it myself before I get to the Gate. i913900KF (5.8GHz) | Case: Fractal PopAir RGB I Gigabyte Z790 UD AX| MSI Gaming RTX 4070Ti Super 16GB | Kingston Fury Beast 64GB DDR5 5200Mhz | SOLIDIGM P41 Plus 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD | Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB | Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 MM Liquid Cooling | LG EVO 42" Monitor 3840 x 2160 120Hz | Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo | Logitech G Pro pedals | Tobii EyeTracker | 850W Thermaltake 80+ GOLD |

Once one gets used to the preflight it really doesn't take that long to load it out and do weight and balance. Eventually you'll bump into an autopilot quirk and have to take temporary control, try and get it to an FMS waypoint it likes and then turn the AP back on, but other than that it's been pretty solid for me. I'm curious how you like taxi and takeoff roll steering behavior - to me it seems so much better than PMDG 73's and 77. I just can't go back to the PMDG until they make major improvements in ground steering and turn behavior in flight. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

They do, and not only is it a visual effect, it actually improves visibility. I was taking the iFly into JNU in dusk rainy conditions one night, right near minimums of 1/2sm vis for our RNP through the cut, and approaching minimums and not seeing approach lights yet I realized my wipers were off. So I did what I'd do in reality and called "wipers high" to my MCE first officer, and with the first swipe of the wipers, bam, there was the entire approach lights system. I was impressed!
