ThrottleUp

Oh I see its part of the 3rd party scenery, I get it now 👍

Great shot, can you post some of the VC also?

Great pics and story, thanks for the post. The plane looks like it came straight outta Fallout 4 😄

Nice pics friend, have you seen this mod?: http://simheaven.com/simdownloads/dense-forests/

Hi friends 🙂 I want to make the wingtip strobes of the default 737-800 much brighter and more intense. Ive flown a lot as a pax on 737NGs specially at night the the strobe is very bright whereas I find the sim version like a birthday cake candle. Anyone on here done such a thing? Please share your tips. Still a bit of an XP11 n00b at this time. A real world vid (not mine) is below. Do share any tips on how to tweak the strobe!

This is actually interesting! I didn't know the road traffic had been given this functionality., Must be an in-house Microsoft thing done for giggles!

This is FS9? 😮 You have really got it looking amazing, looks better than my FSX lol!

Thanks for this information. Yeah thats not too bad, I watched a YT vid of it and it looks amazing. They have done a lot of work on it.

Hi friends 🙂 Hope you enjoy the pics, real world route and flight duration is 1hr 26min. Ready for push at FLN Taxiing to the active Lining up on the active Rolling 😎 In the cruise Approach to EZE Was a bit windy😮 Welcome to EZE 😊 Further info on our destination if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezeiza,_Buenos_Aires

Can the wear & tear be disabled? So that it behaves like any other addon plane. Im also interested in it but the maintenance simulation side of it has no interest for me at all.

Hi, Quick way Just press this key combination: Windows key + P and then select Extend Alternatively: 1.Right-click desktop > “Display Settings” 2. Arrange the displays like they are arranged physically 3. Scroll down to multiple displays & choose the mode (duplicate, extend etc)

Thank you very much!! You are correct - the new versions of Zibo came with the sounds baked into it already (and encrypted) whereas the previous versions required users to download the FMOD seperately. I have been looking all over the place for that old independent FMOD and for the first time the mighty Google has not been able to locate it! I have to hand it to the authors - they have removed every last trace of it. A forum post on Audiobird also said that the intergrated FMOD on the latest Zibo will only work with Zibo. I wish I had kept the standalone FMOD from the older version.

@Colonel X Im so 😞 ! I had all my fingers crossed hoping your idea would work but unfortunately it does not. I dropped the FMOD into the default 737 folder and fired up the sim - no joy. I then went to the Zibo forum on Facebook and asked them on there and my fears were confirmed: The sound files are scripted into the Zibo aircraft and and cannot be used in any other plane. Some more research uncovered what the .SND files are - some sort of protected encrypted file system. So thats that! I'll just have to go back to the other freeware sounds I found. I will email the author of the Audiobird sounds and ask if what I request will be possible.

Oh! I did not know this, I shall try this and report back! Its just that I recall reading on AudioBird (they made the Zibo sounds) forum that the sounds are for Zibo only but I didnt think of fiddling around to see if it will work on default! Will let you know if successful! Tell me about it! I'm surprised it even runs the sim too! But it does and using just default planes it runs it smoothly, I'm even using the latest ReShade.This gives me (depending on scenery area) 20-30FPS. My settings: Visual fx=High(HDR), Textures=High, AA=4XSSA, World objects=Max, Reflections=Minimal, Parked aircraft=disabled This PC is 10yrs old now and Im saving up for a gaming laptop. Id much prefer a desktop but I travel a lot - 6 to 7 months a year so a laptop will allow me my XP11 fix while travelling.

Thanks for the link to the plane friend 🙂

Hi friends 🙂 The default B738 is my favorite airplane in this sim. I cannot use the excellent Zibo mod because it destroys FPS on my PC, I get 10-15 FPS with it, default 737 gives me 30+ FPS. I found a good replacement CFM56 soundset which is a huge difference from the default vacuum cleaner sounds. However when the plane is parked at the gate with engines off there is complete silence in external view. How to get an APU sound to play when I press SHIFT + 4 (external camera?) There is an APU wav file in the systems folder of the B738: Aircraft\Laminar Research\Boeing B737-800\sounds\systems\b738 APU.wav ..but still theres no APU sound at all in ecternal view (I've made sure its turned on). Would be grateful if other users of the default 737 have got this working and could tell me how? Thanks 🙂 I'd love to use the soundset that the Zibo has which is the best 737NG soundset I have ever heard in a sim but the sounds cannot be used in any other plane, they are locked to the Zibo modded 737 only. Regards, Nev

The F15 looks great! Im gonna go check that out 🙂

Thank you all for your kind comments. Look out for the next Brazilian 737 hop 🙂

Thanks very much. Forgot to mention im using ReShade 4.2.1, I like the ambient light/light glare effect which Ive seen IRL when flying in that part of the world.

Nice pics, welcome to XP11 , fantastic sim. Arent the Zibo CFN56 sounds the best? Ive ridden as a pax in many 737NGs and I have to say the AudioBird sounds on the Zinbo are spot on! And of course the Zibo modded 737 is amazing as well. Nice wingviews of the scimitar winglets!

Excellent post and write up. The purple looking clouds result in a really atmospheric shot 😲

Great pics, the plane reminds me of MS Flight, that sim had the same plane I think? Nice scenery in your Xplane11 🙂

Nice to see these old Russian airliners. Is this a payware plane?

Hi friends 😊 MCP-BEL (Macapa to Belem, Brazil) GOL Boeing 737-800 (real world route) ----------------------------------------------------- Ready for taxi at MCP Lined up at MCP Descent, approach & landing into BEL

This is a great trick , thanks very much for sharing 🙂
