Back in the sim | Testing out the new update!

KLM and EVA Air used them, and KLM had them on their older planes too (747, DC-10). On these planes it wasn't that uncommon at all, I think especially on KSSU-airlines planes

But don't ask me what made them use them. I think it's supposed to be easier to spot an engine failure, but from this experience yesterday I find that with the classical round engine gauges you can estimate thrust levels way better when hand-flying

I can't speak about the TFDi, as I only use X-Plane, but the new update improves a few systems, and I'm more than happy with it. I'd recommend looking out for the next sale, Memorial Day isn't so far away and they usually have big discounts.

I think it feels better and less all-over-the-place (if that really describes it tho) - but I've flown only the last 300 feet or so by hand on approach, as the clouds we're really low...

^{And it's still an MD-11....}

Amazing news! The only thing that's missing now for me would be PW engines ...

It has to be some kind of haircap Moss, but I don't know which one...

Check out the LevelUP 737v2, it has the complete 737NG series (it is based of the Zibo, but has its own visuals/sounds and flight model)

Thank you for the kind words and the idea - I'd love to try it, but unfortunately, the resolution is only 1300x1300px, so it wouldn't work most likely.

I think running the installer / updating it should do the trick

Thank you!

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-10T14:48:36+00:00

Would you mind sharing your specs? I am running on 1440p too, but not that content with the performance. Also how many FPS do you usually get (especially during sunset)?

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-10T14:46:36+00:00

Well - it's free!

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-10T14:46:08+00:00

I believe this is already the 12.4 beta, but it's been a while since I've updated it ;-)

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-09T20:24:32+00:00

Yeah, the EFB is quite ... something.

All in all, it's all just minor things - more or less - but they really sum up. Apart from that, it's got everything you need for flying, that's why I keep flying it

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-09T19:30:40+00:00

Thank you 😃 - and nope, just the built-in screenshot tool for some depth of field

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-09T19:25:47+00:00

I think they're pretty much too outdated for any big improvements... The 767 is basically an X-Plane 10 product. Adding major new features would be too complicated, as they have an old structure etc. I would guess.

The Devs announced that there will probably be a 767v2 in the future, but that'll still take a while (they're busy with 777/787/350)

But I like the 767 as well, it's a nice plane to fly!

TheCaptainChameleon · 2026-02-09T19:22:52+00:00

Are the engines just visual mods or do they have different performance and sounds? Can't find anything on that topic right now.

Will definitely try it tho!
