IXEG 737 Update 1.3 Video Preview (XP11)

Screenshots do not reflect the 1.3 update.

On YouTube, Jan Vogel, an IXEG developer, released a video covering update 1.3 for their 737-300 Classic for X-Plane 11. According to some, it is the most in-depth aircraft released to date for X-Plane.

Thanks to the coronacrisis, the team was able to put more time in the development of the aircraft. They still want to work on it and update it to modern-day X-Plane add-on standards. Vogel says that the update will be released relatively soon, probably within the next month. It’s not an update with a lot of new features. He calls it a “quality of life update”. The changelog below is made from the video and is not officially released by IXEG and is not complete. They will release one themselves when it is finalized. The team will also try to release short update videos regularly.
