Strange, I just tried to download it again and it worked fine. Did you try downloading from Skymatix gdrive folder?

No. 3_6 was a week ago. 3_7 a couple days ago.

For me, downloads are not exceeded on the 3_8 patch alone.

The workaround for when that warning does happen is to select more than one file for simultaneous download (ctrl+click). The Google will bundle both files in a single zip (or if one happens to be slurping down pre-made ortho tiles, as happens sometimes, it will end up being multiple many-gig zips) and then let you download it.

"This is an issue affecting only certain Nvidia cards/drivers. Please use the C172 to start the flight then switch to the Zibo when at the gate..."

😀WHAT?

what's next, do we first have to fly to Paris before we can take off from Chicago?

On 3.8 already, and a true joy to fly.

Added the Avitab and terrain radar, and I am more than good, actually better than in MFS with the PMDG because the Zibo feels a ot more convincing in terms of ground physics and flight physics...

And... Heck! It Is For Freeeeee !!!!

freezes my pc completely (latest xplane beta), unless I do as suggested, load the C172 first. supposedly happens only with Nvidia GPUs. anybody else seen this?

😞 hope you can fix it ...

In my case:

Ryzen 5600x + Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti with latest Studio drivers. Windows 11. Works flawlessly.

Default scenery only, and plugins are : 

- avitab

- terrain radar 

- skunkcrafts updater

- toliss

Yes, however it does suggest in the installation guide to load the c172 before the Zibo Mod. :-

 

"f your Zibo mod does not load correctly, XP freezes or Crash to Desktop during the load process. Please use the C172 to start your flight FIRST. Once at the gate you can change to the Zibo mod. ~ Please understand that if this was a Zibo code error Zibo would have fixed it already. Logic dictates that if it was everyone would have this problem and we all know it is not so, at this time. ~ We do not currently have control over this and cannot fix it from our side Either Laminar Research or NVidia or both of the companies, need to fix whatever it is that is causing this issue"

Good morning. I am just following a YouTube tutorial and when it says to switch Yaw Damper ON, it immediately springs back off. This is just after connecting ground power ON and setting the IRS.

Thank you for your advice. I can switch it on after loading FMC.

Hi Jean Paul,

Not sure what your knowledge is with the NG series aircraft, but this flow may help you... I use this when I have friends in the flight deck that don't know the airliner at all, we go step-by-step through the flow and they get to push all the buttons, switches, rockers and so on. It will take you from cold and dark to securing the aircraft on the back end.

I strongly recommend this superb series of videos / tutorials for the Zibo 737.

They're 2 years old but not outdated, very well done !!!

The author appears to have been attracted by the looks of that other arcade sim, but maybe he can get back to XP12 one of these days if he ends up noticing that looks don't make flying .... 🙂
