thanks for the methodical madness and masterful pilotage im guessing you might be from SA from the accent and that is makes you pretty wise. looking forward to tryong out your work with support ty.

Hi Nico. I didn't get to join the live stream, but after watching the replay of that wild takeoff I wondered whether or not you had the yoke full forward like the flight directors always show until you get up around 80 knts. I couldn't see any downward deflection on the elevator during the replay but maybe that was because of the camera angle. Not trying to throw shade on your takeoff, besides you more than made up for it on that great landing. Thanks for all you do to help the ZIBO community and have a great day.

Do you prefer default XP weather or Xenviro?

Xenviro 1.34 will cast cloud shadows in the ground or not yet?

Zibo pulls 4500 vertical speed. Isn’t this a bit steep? Shouldn’t it be within 1000-2500.

Scenery looks surreal!

Thanks!

there was actually one time when xenviro was discounted by 20 dollars if i remember correctly. And that was the time when i got my copy. I always loved it, but still for me (not that i couldn't afford it), it didn't seem adequate 70 bucks. But it's only my opinion though. I don't know how much it cost to maintain the servers and develop it. I don't know how many people buy it. I just get a feeling that for this price, the customers should expect little more in terms of regular updates. If the price was lower that it would be ok as it is. Again just my 2 cents, not an attack on developers. Good day all.

Good morning, Nico. I wanted to ask you, what do you use for ground handling?

Are you Zibo?

!pc

Fascinating. So a big difference between Zibo AP and PMDG is that the AP here is a "take over" mechanism, not a "get me there" mechanism. I like that very much.

I learned something new today, thank you Nico. I am going to reinstall autoortho, and use your method.

@mjl1966y Everything is here as well as on my KZfaq Channel forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/forum/384-zibo-b738-800-modified/

What happens when you don’t have better pushback?

Can u help me plzz......as searching for this file for a long time, still i didnt got them coz my account still on aproval. please can u sent me those file plzzzz.....

i thought was only me but i really do not like how it looks. I thought i broke my sim but if thats how it is i need a fix. My textures ground and clouds are grainy and just low res in a way

Greetings. I have the same problem since I updated to 12.1, I still haven't managed to make a complete flight.

Nico i like to donate and support , where can i find the link please?

Good morning, Nico. I would appreciate it if you could help me to understand something in Zibo. A) configurations I made appear to be applied only to particular livery/aircraft in which the changes were made. Is that how it's supposed to be? B) All my aircraft/livery has pretty stretched out nose, noticeably different from yours and others in my view.

I am disappointed that X-Plane 12 doesn't look as good as MSFS.
