Even if fuel consumption isn't featured yet, it would still be totally worth it to let us adjust both fuel and payload already
within reasonable limits. Otherwise flying the same plane quickly feels repetitive due to the lack of weather.
This would have no disadvantage for those who don't bother as they wouldn't need to change the settings.
So: Big improvement, relatively small effort compared to other features like ATC or weather.
And even after implementing fuel consumption, which I think should be the next thing anyway, there could be a checkbox "infinit fuel".

If we take time write a menu to allow you to change the weights of all payloads and fuel we may as well do the last 20% of the work to make the weight of fuel decrease over time.

If fuel consumption costs you less effort, than programming a bit of UI,
I wonder why you haven't done this long time ago. -

I wonder why you haven't done this long time ago.Decreasing fuel takes less time than adding fuel, payload and a menu for it, is what I said.

Hello Jan, please don't forget to add the flight surfaces control in the system page of the 737 max. Thanks😊

Already have it active in my developer build. It will be added next time I merge my stuff into "production"

If this is about the MAX lacking a nosewheel light, the real one doesn’t have it either.

Who of the DEVs had guessed 6 days until they find a hack for MCAS?

When will the mac app store version of Aerofly FS 4 be updated? I'm quite excited to be able to start flying this aircraft!

this is stuck to the alaskan registration for now. in future it will be changed to be airline specific like the 787-10.

Yes, this has been reported before and is already fixed internally but is not yet in the public release.
Hi Jan, I'm cruising at 35,000 feet in the MAX 9 right now and it's in the CRZ N1 limit, which the FMC says is 95.6%. Am I being stupid or is this a bug because the engines are only using 81.3% (267 knots indicated) should the limit therefore be around 81.4%? just wondering because 95 and a half % N1 seems a bit high for a cruise thrust mode.
also what has been amended in terms of the new 737's power at altitude as was mentioned in another post? did that mean even if in CRZ as opposed to CLB 1 or CLB 2, at altitude it will be able to maintain current airspeed without bleeding back?
-
The indicated green numbers are the thrust rating indication. Depending on your desired airspeed and your current payload and fuel level you will need a different amount of actual thrust. That's why there is a margin between what the engines could do (green rating CRZ %) and what is currently needed to maintain the target airspeed (current N1%)
Oh I see righty

How do you check the APU egt and rpm? Is there a analogue device (like the NG), or in the SYS page like the 787? Thanks

In contrast, the 737 MAX, although it uses almost exactly the same APU as the NG (still the [now Honeywell] 131-9(B), just with minor bugfixes), lacks the NG's EGT gauge:
According to an FAA document ,from Nov 2020 on the 737-800 and 737-8 (aka Max) differences, which was "Approved by the Aircraft Evaluation Division", the removal of the APU EGT gauge does not impact the procedures or flight characteristics and is categorized as level-A ("Self-Instruction").

The B737MAX has been made annoying to use: none of the takeoff thrust derates work right now.
