[Will there be level up 737 for XP12?]

Is it me or there is indeed testing going on for the level up?  Not sure.  Does it work yet on XP12?

[Will there be level up 737 for XP12?]

does it work with xp 12?  if so how?  do we need to change any mod files?

[Sam for X plane 12??]

Yes, right click the acf file like you are gonna drag it, then simply release it in the same folder, and click on "Make Copy" and it will make you a acf file with -copy at the end of it.

I’m on Mac but I get it. But when I do have a copy how do o activate it instead of the new one?  Will activating the copy miss any updates?  Are they actually updating the acf file?

[GroundServiceXP Issue - FF757 and FF767 tailstrike when loading/unloading]

Sorry, but changing that setting makes no difference here.

The FF767 still tips on it's tail when loading/unloading using SAM even if Override Weights on Flight load is set to 'disabled'.

 

I think the sequence by which you load matters.  Flight Factor although nice planes behave in a strange way.  Try adding fuel first alone.  Then passengers and cargo.

If it changes the acf file then yes you have to re-install the mod each time you update.

Do you know if there is a way to save that act file and put it back after the update?  would it work?

[Update for 767-400]

question, if another update is pushed by flight factor, will we have to re-install the mod again?

nice

Anybody hear of any news yet?  Just curious

[Simbrief Planning for LEVEL UP]

Does Simbrief have the correct profiles for the Level ups aircraft when planning flights?

No, we don't give ETA's. Currently development is slow because of developers personal lives as well so internal ETA's aren't really a thing at this time. Churning along - but slowly.

ok....patiently waiting

[Levelup Updates]

Any word on when Level Up will offer the first update?

This thread is supposed to be about X-RAAS which don't equate to any zibo files to be replaced. You can take Zibo's X-RAAS.cfg file from his B738X and put it on the LU this will eliminate the warnings.

Question.  Why doesn't the Level Up have this X-RAAS.cfg file?  Was it supposed to be there and will be part of next update?

[Simbrief Profiles]

Hi. Do I have to do anything special when loading a flight plan? Are these profiles readily available in the drop down list?

Do keep in mind that we won't offer support on people who do this. As it's preferable to wait for an update from us than telling someone with no experience with tinkering to exchange certain files

Understood.  Will wait for an update from Level Up Team.

Depends on what is in the update, and I only fly in the weekends, so usually look on Friday what the latest version is.

Like, yesterday I went from .19 to .24. And I always check if there is an update before I start my sim if I plan to fly the LevelUp or Zibo.

But I do update LevelUp whenever I update Zibo.

I hope that answers your question

Yes this answers my question.  I did update Zibo with .23 and will copy the FMOD folder to the Level Up Folder.  Unfortunately I am unable to download version .24 it is not downloading for MAC.  but I get your point.  I feel like a pro now.  LOL.  Thank you.

Yes, transitioning from Airbus to Boeing can be a challenge. It would be the same for me going vise versa.

Glad I was able to assist.

Happy flying

Question.....do you update with every new Zibo Mod update that comes out?

That is a good question.
And one better to be answered by someone from the LevelUp development team.

All I know, and as you can see, there is only one Plugins folder in the 737NG series folder, and that one has a ZiboMod sub folder, and the steps above have fixed some issues reported in other variants than the -800. As an example, I experienced the -600 and -700 porpoising (chasing VNAV) during cruise as well as on final approach. Updating the ZiboMod folder did resolve that issue for me.

Got it.  Makes sense.  I did upgrade the folder while keeping a back up of the original and will fly.  I guess we will wait for the LU team to address but for now I am still trying to land the 737 but getting there.  I do love the 737 and nice to fly.  Coming from Airbus has been a challenge but a nice one.  Thanks for all the feed back.

I don't have a mac, but recall reading Mac users stating they use merge instead of replace. So, YES, you would merge

I have a question.  Aren't the Level Up aircrafts supposed to have a different flight model?  Meaning isn't each variant supposed to act differently of fly differently?  By copying the Zibo Mod plug in, does it make the airplane all fly exactly like the Zibo or am I not understanding?

I can understand that it's confusing.

1: Copying the xraas.cfg file to the main LevelUp folder is the fix for the "too fast and unstable" call outs.

2: In order to implement the latest Zibo updates in the LevelUp aircraft, you unzip the latest Zibo patch (currently B738X_3_51_16.zip)

- Now open up the unzipped folder and look for the sub-folder: B738X_3_51_16\plugins\ZiboMod.
- Copy the ZiboMod folder.
- Go to your main LevelUp 737NG series aircraft folder in X-Plane11\Aircraft (my folder structure is ..XPlane11\Airplanes\LevelUp\737NG series) and open the plugins folder there.
- Paste the copied ZibMod folder into the plugins folder and when asked let it overwrite existing files and folders.

Now you have updated the ZiboMod implementation in the LevelUp 737's to the latest Zibo.
This has proven to save some "behavioral" issues with the base LevelUp model.

I hope this shines some lights on the 2 different "patches" that are being suggested.

And sorry to the original poster for partially hijacking this thread with the ZiboMod "update"

 

Ok I will try and thank you.  Will advise BUT ..... I am using Mac OS.  Will it ask me to replace or merge?  If so, do I merge instead?  

[xraas saying "too fast" and "unstable" even when the approach speed is correct.]

I am a bit confused please enlighten me.  I copied the XRAAS.config file to the level up folder and this stopped the screaming landing "too fast and unstable".  Are you saying copy a folder in the ZIBO folder called "ZiboMod" in the Zibo plug in folder and take that drag it to the Level Up folder?  If so, put it in the level up plug in folder and this should resolve a lot of issues?

[CMD Autopilot wont engage - Ever]

I hace no issues engaging autopilot especially after the community help letting me know I need to make sure I am stable and in trim.  It works very well.  no issues on my end.

Porpoising is basically an up and down motion.  Similar to how a dolphin jumps in and out of the water when it's happy.  

The issue really stems from the plane incorrectly chasing VNAV markers with the yoke rather than pitch trim. 

Now that you mention this I have noticed it does that making it difficult for smooth landings.  And I while it probably better to just use Zibo, Level up offers some amazing graphics and has other variants.  I will probably stick with Zibo until Level up fixes with updates.  However, I did copy the XRAAS config file which did fix the screaming plane "too fast on approach".
