As such, it’s a hugely popular aircraft for simmers to want to get their hands on. In recent years there have been a lot of hot topics surrounding the aircraft maker, but the 737 is still one of the most used aircraft in the world. The aircraft developed by Boeing has always been a staple in the aviation industry thanks to its versatility, cost and overall passenger satisfaction. The 737NG remains on the most popular aircraft in the world. Whether you think it was PR suicide or genius, the fact remains that the community got a brand new 737 Next Generation aircraft almost out of the blue. At the time, the product named NGXu was never known to the community until a few hours after the initial announcement. Your simulator might be confusing FLT mode with OFF mode ( neither igniter system operating), which is the setting normally used in flight (as combustion in a gas-turbine engine is generally self-sustaining unless the engine, or its fuel or air supply, is severely abused).Īdditionally, on an NG, the EECs can automatically switch both igniter systems on (if an engine flames out) or off (if bad things happen during ground-starting), no matter what the position of the ignition knobs.Initially, PMDG sent the community into a bit of a panic when they announced that the long-awaited and fabled NG3 would instead be heading to Microsoft Flight Simulator and not to Prepar3D.On an NG, GND mode is another option for inflight restarts, in which case it uses both igniters (unlike how it operates for ground starts).In the real world, FLT mode is used only in conditions posing a significant risk of engine flameout (for instance, extreme turbulence or very heavy rain), or if a flameout has already occurred and one or both engines need to be restarted in flight - not for high-altitude cruise flight in general. FLT mode turns both igniter systems on, the better to help keep the engines operating under adverse conditions, or maximise the chance of a successful midair relight.GND mode on an Original or Classic, or on an NG that's on the ground, also uses a single igniter system, and is used for ground-starting the engines.CONT mode turns one of the igniter systems on ( which igniter system is used depends on the position of a separate switch), and is used for takeoff and landing.Each engine has four possible igniter modes (except for earlier-model Originals, which have five) - in clockwise order 'round the knob, they're GND, OFF, CONT (or, for early Originals, L IGN and R IGN), and FLT. The 737 has two separate engine-igniter systems (each of which has igniters on both engines).
