Interesting issue - you need an accurage magnetic variation value for non precision approaches - it is the 1 in 60 rule at play here so the error is magnified accordingly. Who is going to update not sure - seems the out of date AIRAC as well is something that LR just let go after XP11

I will not labour issues here re LR and Searches- Learnt out of this and for others that Linux installs of X{12 - well behave like Linux installs in general - even LR's version still follows the Linux logic and hence search functions. Sheesh!

Hmmm interesting problem for me then - Little Navmap finds the airport and logs it in as part of XP12, but not Laminars internal change location dialogue - curious Navmap describes YCWB or Winnepeg as being a VFR airport?

Caught my attention so had to go and have a look at CYWG (Winnepeg) - to discover that it is not included in the default airports. Curious omission by Laminar.

They must have done something I have not noticed AA issues for a long time, always crisp and sharp. Couple of other Beta changes bit more problematic.

Well so far quite happy with the FF757, A really interesting Boeing being that first iteration of the NG aicraft by Boeing. As I understand it the 757 was positioned as a 727 replacement - same seat capacity, range and general performance but with the NG systems and layout, Two engines as opposed to 3 but hey it is too the high Flight Factor standards Sure someone will want to disagree. Did not get many out the door to regular operators but I am sure Boeing leant on a few to tickle the order book. Not sure about the Trump skin but hey the Trump has stuck with his 757 for a long time, so it must work, be cheap to operate and a reliable ride.

Thought about it in the meantime as one cannot get enough Boeings so decided to get the FF Boeing 757 as it was the NG replacement for the 727 in its day. FJS will have to wait awhile maybe about 3 months before I think about it again.

Think we might agree, probably not, that the way Boeing designate the aircraft they have built over the years is at times peculiar. So lets agree that Boeing have shortened and lengthened the 73 airframe to provide, 150, 180, 190 and 200 seats. Either way it is a long way from the original 737 concept that produced the 100-200 series. After all what is a 707 - a 100/200 or 138 or 300 depending on how they pitched the product to the buyers. What do you want short or long, big or little, way it goes. Have fun

Bumping this - I have amassed a collection of aircraft models for the sim to suit any taste I guess - complicated to austere. Old to New. Heavy to Light. So on interation 12.4.3. b there is a lot more Internal AI generated activity, background on apron and if you have Live Traffic in the skies. The environment is dynamic with shifting winds and trees - I can run max clouds effortlessly. So I set up a flight plan to do xyz pick a suitable ride and load up. - BOOM everytime lately I then sit back look at what is on screen - and go wow! You cannot help but just to sit back and watch events unfold it is truly an amazing experience - and XP12s treatment of night lights is second to none. So you sit and watch the show but as for that sim flying proposed not a finger was had

Indeed - I have Boeings going back to the B314, then on via time - 707, 720, 747 200 and 400. Then onto to the 738s and 737s and I include the MD hiccup or the MD80. So in time naturally we shall round off with the 737-200 frm FJS. As for the 300-400 NGs maybe in time So if it is not Boeing I am not going LOL. And if it is not Linux then we will not be going anywheres either. Yeah got the same Airbus bug so pretty widepread!

That is true three time more 738's - however the 737-800 is classed as a B738 not A B737 which is what the designator for the Boeing 700. Then there is the 900 or B739. Splitting hairs. We shall see where they go with the Boeing . As for the freeware 400 needs a lot more work and some XP12 atttention. Looked allright but functionally a bust on 12.4.3

Alas the IXEG 737 400 was not a Linux Bird and relied upon the dreaded Gizmo plugin. Nice model etc but strictly MS Windows. Had it and lost it going over to XP Linux. ☹️

Never quite sure about the Max as a viable Aerodynamic structure. End of the 737 line engines too big, wing completely redesigned and relying on hydraulic digital operated control for longitudinal stability. Not something that takes my fancy at all I am afraid. Can undestand the interest though. Think I go enough 737s now - whew!

Considering we have the Laminar B737-800, then the Efforts of the ZIBO team to take the 737 to another level of realism and functionality - It was a curious effort by the LeveUP team to then modify a variety of the 737;s to cover the variants of the 600, 700, 800 and 900 series Boeing 737's. Given the 737-700 is in fact the definitive B737 (as per Boeing) and the most widely manufactured. I mention this on the bass the FJS now propose an XP12 version of the B737-100/200 aircraft. I think the LevelUP project is now moribund or stopped. The outcome was to provide XP12 with a complete coverage of the Boeing 737 Does one really want yet another Boeing 737 in XP12?

Seems Q8 got himself an advance copy to do a promo. 737-100/200 conceptualised 1964 out the door to the customers in 67-68. You can move 100 sods 1500nm, Still
