I first noticed this in the flyjsim 732. That a knob assigned to do nothing made loud click in cockpit and I pulled some hair out trying to find where the clunk was coming from and what I had changed but gave up. Configuring the JetStream Chieftain this morning and assigned 'n' key to DO NOTHING and sure enough, when I pressed 'n' there it was. A click in the cockpit! It probably is doing 'nothing' but I bet xp12 has 'do nothing' assigned to a sound sample. So when testing they knew it was assigned correctly. Then maybe forgot to take the GUID out for the sound? Only tried 2 planes so far but.....if anyone else wants to try it out it would be interesting to confirm!

Sorry if wrong place . I've started hosting my own images on my own site and want to run a test. Got a few nice pix from this show if anyone can recommend where I should post them? Possibly as I've just started this site design the image link might break when I make changes. F15 Strike Eagle and A321 XLR taking it in turns to show off their maneuvers! Here's a better one :

Update info

Seeing as there a lot of 737 simmers here, I'll share a link I found from a pilot studying for 737NG type conversion. 737 Type Rating Material Scroll down the page for the most complete (to me!) set of procedure flow docs for the NG series I've ever seen. Direct link here:125 page PDF 737NG Type Rating Training

I'm not assigning blame here, I know the LU is built on top of Zibo base project. I've just never had a good approach/landing in any of the above. Regardless of hardware syncing IF I disconnect AT via hotkey (yoke button sim) or on the MCP the throttles SHOULD be manual. I know the FF planes for example require you to sync positions before you can take over but I'm cycling mine through full range and nothing is syncing. I'm at the stage where some planes work great with my hardware and some don't. The 747 Felis uses the same ghost levers by default as does the FF when you enable them in options. These work great. Just a thought: I know these days devs have added the option to auto arm vnav for missed approach. The plane is acting ALMOST as if it's going TOGA and MA on its OWN, without input from me. Although the 'stuck in idle' when on glide path is a further mystery.

If engines are stuck in idle or toga setting speed on MCP obviously won't help you. It's a bug/compatibility issue. I know how to operate every control but when they don't respond as they should you're helpless.

The LU and Zibo are all unflyable for me. The hand flying and worse the auto throttle on approach/landing regularly goes into permanent idle or permanent toga. Can't disconnect either. I've even cut the fuel valves and glided down on occasion. I'm loving the 732 though which suits my needs more. I'd love a solid payware NG which is where I started my sim journey in fsx with having absorbed every available manual around for it but I'm counting my blessings with the 732.

Which plane has the issue for you? I saw your original post but it wasn't clear to me.

Update to my earlier post. Although default Xp12 ATC does not interact with LiveTraffic planes it DOES detect them and clears YOU around THEM if not the other way round. As well as warning you when they are close to you in flight if they are taking off/landing you will need to wait for them. For example today leaving RCQC Penghu Taiwan I was asked to hold short (no reason given). I looked to my left and indeed an ATR was on final. I switched to the ATR camera via LT and saw the landing and my plane holding short. It landed then got stuck on runway (that does not normally happen- maybe waiting for atc to give taxi instructions but it could not?) After a minute I opened LT status panel and made the plane NOT visible then immediately I got the clearance for take off. So ATC was definitely aware of the ATR if not able to communicate with it! I feel we are SO close to getting it good.

I just started using LiveTraffic as I I have a Navigraph sub. Navigraph uses flightradar24 traffic to inject in the sim (I actually sub to that too when I'm sat at Biggin hill cafe plane watching). Interaction with ATC seems non-existent and occasionally I'll get planes stuck on taxi ways but in the air I love that they fly the same SIDS/STARS that I do I need to keep separation. Despite the lack of ATC guidance I'm impressed that ATC will regularly give me a plane to look for that's close to me. Look out the window and there it is, the IRL flight livery 500 feet above same airway! I miss the AIG stuff in P3d for sure, but like the OP I've been in XP all this year so far except to fly the PMDG 747 in P3d.

Throwing this here as seems useful but not sure if actually suits your purpose. https://x-plane.to/file/436/intentcities-light-controls-x-plane-12 https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/82888-flywithlua-ng-next-generation-plus-edition-for-x-plane-12-win-lin-mac/ Above requires LUA scripting. is full SDK light creation info. From what I'm understanding so far... You need to create your own lights and get the plane to reference them.. Not sure you can edit existing lights... https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/topic/281535-xp12-object-lights-for-aircraft/ Finally.. Someone asking for the same info a couple years back. Good luck! If you succeed we'd love to know how 🍀🤞😎

Those older 737 models are called Classic for a reason. 🤔😎

Do you have a source on this? Link?

Hi Thanks for sharing, could you explain how this differs from the Map Enhancement Mod for XP12? From the title does it focus on urban areas? It infers that it generates objects from the downloaded tiles in a similar way to sim heaven (I believe?).
