[@pointerprideaviationandtra4751]

Some tips Pilot 83: Tip #1: For the start up states, you can set your start up state, then load a startup instead of having to restart your flight. Tip #2: There are serveral systems that you can test in the cockpit (pilot air, fire warnings, GPWS, TCAS, etc.). Tip #3: Simbrief plays enormous part when flying IFR with this plane. Ever since I built my high-end gaming PC, I've been logging alot of hours in the 737 since it first released on the in-sim marketplace (I bought the others from PMDG soon after). A very high quality product, up there with the likes of the Fenix A320, and the FBW A32NX.

I started simming on Xbox and eventually transitioned to PC because of the better support PC had for aircraft and all. Seeing this today on Xbox makes me happy for Xbox users. I used to be part of the Xbox MSFS camp. Big win for you guys. This plane is a must buy. I'm surprised it looks exactly like the PC version. Did not see any features missing.

Are you talking about moving into the cabin? You can in the passenger version for sure, not sure about cargo variants. The difference between the 700 and 800 is effectively just that the 800 is longer. The 800 is the most commonly flown variant currently as well.

[@Rob-gs8lq]

A couple of issues I found, there's texture flickering on the EFIS panels and a display frame issue that appears when highlighting the PFD, ND and ECAM digital screen displays. The texture flickering is currently being looked into by PMDG, but as for the display frame issue, they said they are unable to adjust it. PMDG has apparently reached out to ASOBO regarding this issue before, but ASOBO never replied back which sucks because the frame obstructs the view of the information that's displayed on the PFD, ND and ECAM digital screen displays. Best thing to do is to report it directly to ASOBO and make enough noise for them to listen to feedback.

[@IceViper777]

Is the display frame issue the bright outline that appears around the screen?

[@Rob-gs8lq]

@@IceViper777 Yup, according to the developers it happens only when you are using a controller. So if you're using keyboard and mouse you won't see the issue, but it's still there and it's annoying.

[@Rob-gs8lq]

​@@Pilot0083 That's correct, the PMDG developers told me they contacted ASOBO since SU 9 or 10 and have no feedback over it. As for the texture flickering issue, everyone seems to be experiencing this issue. I also have to reach out to Just Flight regarding bugged textures on the 146-100's fuselage. It's a shame that we are spending more time reporting issues to the developers instead of enjoying and playing the game.

[@IceViper777]

@@Pilot0083 another issue I’m concerned with is outdated nav data. With no way to update it, what are you gonna do when you build a flight plan in simbrief and type it into the FMS and it tells you it’s outdated? People with paid Navigraph are encountering that because the SIDs or STARs aren’t current. I guess the plane can’t figure out what to do with it
