Yep, can't complain about framerates with that bird.ChrisHunt wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 11:33I tried out the Zibo 737-800 yesterday afternoon on a short hop from Manchester to Heathrow and it's certainly a beauty. On take off I left the flaps out too long with the result of overspeed damage. The subsequent approach to Heathrow was a bit more exciting than I wanted probably due to flap damage which resulted in a pronounced roll to the right when extending the flaps. Rudder and engine bias didn't work so a rather hurried retraction resulted in a flapless landing at 180 knots. What seriously impressed me though was that despite a rather systems heavy aircraft the flight over a heavily populated London was as smooth as.
The flight preparation, however, is still a bit annoying. Winds and temperatures aloft, surface wind, runway slope, transition altitiude, cost index....ugh.
I'm seriously considering writing a checklist for preparation.
Flight plan handling in the FMC is also sub optimal. If you screw up a waypoint, all you can do is start over. Wish I could use the actual keyboard instead of the mouse.
What's cool, however, is that 124th ATC picks a SID and STAR for you, so all you have to do is get your clearance or be on descent and then hack the assigned route into the FMC.
One huge drawback is that all the custom datarefs can't be saved, so you can't resume a flight if you can't finish it for whatever reason.
