In a rather long post over at the X-Pilot forums has Cameron, founder of X-Aviation, announced an imminent release of a new update for the IXEG 737 Classic for X-Plane 11. Current owners of the addon have been noticed about the update via email.
Version 1.3.1 of the aircraft brings new features, bunch of improvements, or numerous bug fixes. For example, an option to use two separate hardware axis for throttles has been added, textures have been updated slightly, APU fuel use logic has been tweaked or BetterPushback now works again with the aircraft.
The new version of the aircraft can be downloaded via your X-Aviation account, and if you want to buy the aircraft, you can do so via the X-Aviation website for $74,95.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed mousewheel scroll direction for all manipulators
- Various Gizmo Beta Changes/Fixes
- Fixed first digit of engine #2 manual N1 setting indicator to bleed over to engine #1
- Removed “C x 100” labeling from Fuel Flow gauges
- Fixed two screws missing (CPTs EHSI frame and overhead panel)
- Stopped stickshaker assembly from clipping into footrest cover
- Re-enabled BetterPushback to work with this plane
- Enabled autothrust to set correct N1 at high-altitude airports for takeoff

Improvements:
- Tweaked “fur” texture of pilots seats to avoid “see through” effect near edges
- Removed further “texture bleed” cases of bad UV mapping (APU fire control box in wheel well)
- Changed and improvement manipulators for flap and speedbrake handles (more intuitve to use, hits detents better)
- Tweaked APU fuel use logic (draws from left side fuel manifold when running, according to fuel system setup and pressures)
- Increased EDG oil temperatures a bit to avoid needle being pegged at left edge of gauge
- Several improvements to initialization setting of switches and rheostats (lights, TCAS/Transponder, DH, Radar system, etc…)

- Allow use of “ground services” menu while in motion or even in flight for fuel, weight and CG adjustment
- Various minor texturing/UV tweaks
- Total makeover of many manipulators in the cockpit for optimal mouse and VR use.
Additions:
- Added option to remove “ghost throttle” symbology
- Added option to have a mouse manipulator to move both thrust levers simultaneously (for VR or mouse fliers).
- Added option to use two separate hardware axis for throttles (no locking lever at idle).
- Added VRconfig.txt for optimal VR compatibility
- User created PBD (Place / Bearing / Distance) waypoints implemented on LEGS and RTE page
