Hi everyone !
i finally had time to try the new 737MAX 9, and here are my feedbacks :
- Overall a very nice addition to the fleet (maybe now time to give Airbus a little bit more love ?)
- I have the same issue with the -900ER, the basic FOB value is way too high (very rare to see a 737 loading this much fuel on the average flights people do, i suggest to get the same value as the A320 (7.7T) since the fuel is frozen, so when using simbrief we can have a higher loaded plane without getting to land the aircraft with a 70T (which is way above MLW) and also enables us to cruise at higher altitude (especially since 737 pilots love to flex on A320 pilots that they can cruise higher to FL410 ).)
- When i compare the startup of a real 737MAX with the one we have in the sim, and although i love the fact that the BRM (Bowed Rotor Motoring) is modeled, i still find the startup of the engine to be too quick (average start time for a CFM LEAP-1B is 1m15s per engine). I don't know if you guys in the coding can make the startup last longer ?
- I also find the wheel well light to be excessively bright, same with the taxi/turnoff lights (i know they are LED lights, but i'm sure they aren't that bright, the current in sim brightness for the taxi/turnoff lights are similar than the landing lights).
I hope this feedback is constructive enough and can't wait to see the response of the dev team.
