!!! The latest X Plane version is required to run this new version of the Zibo mod !!!
By special permission from Lubos and by arrangement with x-plane.to, I will use this platform to distribute the Zibo mod as a complete aircraft and update it on a weekly basis if an update/fix was released during that week. You are welcome to download it and then patch it on your side if you want to update it yourself or you can wait for the update when I pubish the next complete version here.
This is the same files as in our Google drives or on the Torrents.
The only difference is the update interval and that this file actually includes all previous updates/fixes already included up to the time that it is published. Press the question mark (?) on the EFB to see the version that you have!
New Fresh Installation:
1) Open the Zip file
2) Extract the B737-800X folder directly into your X-Plane 12\Aircraft folder
Updating an exisiting Zibo mod Installation:
Before you start, please check the version of the Zibo mod that you have BEFORE you accidentally downgrade your model!
- Find your version by pressing the question mark in the top right hand corner of the EFB then follow the instructions below.
1) Please make a backup of your preferences files as well as any other files that you might have customized such as X-RAAS or any of the default liveries's cfg files before proceding to update the Zibo mod with this download.
All default Zibo mod files will be overwritten during the update process!

For some reason, my Zibo 737 (no matter the version) just can't shut up about the cabin pressurisation even if it has been flying at 38000ft for much of the cruise. It just gives up at some point and I have to always descend and fly low altitudes.
This is not exactly a knowledge gap as I have tried with different planes and systems; I love the zibo, but this is actively preventing me from using this amazing mod.

Engines spool up extremely fast when applying throttle making it feel more like a video game than a simulation. Might have to do with X plane 12's latest beta update as that's when I noticed this issue but just posting it here for awareness. Overall, great airplane, super spectacular.

I am uploading a video in which I have shown a large ZIBO oscillation on ROLL
What is also worth saying the wind was really stable and there was no need for such a big counter

Here's an issue: when taking off with the new update, the takeoff config is flickering even with appropriate flaps also, speedbrake can no longer arm.

I have the same issue.... I think it is a bug or something, because im using checklist every time and I am certain that it has to do with the plane.
Skymatix 19 day(s) ago
I will upload fix 40 for you shortly. I am not aware of flickering, but it is time to update anyway so i hope it will be fixed for you.

Has the work flow in the FMC changed? It doesn't ask me to activate after finishing the route page.....
Skymatix 1 month(s) ago
Yes, Zibo refined it to be more real BUT depending on the version you will see anomalies while it is a work in progress

What an amazing mod! I've learned so much from the Zibo 737-800—IRS, bleed systems, and how to successfully perform cold and dark starts every time. Next is manually programming the FMC using charts to create a flight plan usable by the autopilot. Cheers.
HighTurbulence
This plane is awesome. I've been flying it on virtually every route for almost a year.
The APU has an failure at startup, but I read that this has been fixed with a new version.
P6GSRJ5P
Seems there's always an issue. I couldn't cold start the aircraft because the APU wouldn't light. Fixed that , then engine two wouldn't start but one would. Fixed that, now she'll cold start with all systems functioning BUT the IRS will not align. I've given so much time to resolving this without success. Manual entry, system switching, nothing gets me past both sides flashing Align but without the coordination data required to fly. I get a count down as the system appears to be trying to connect. I see that the EFIS Mode/NAV frequency Disagree and there is a TCAS Fail.
Want to love the plane but...
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

The Zibomod is not like other sim aircraft, you need to study, learn, practice, a lot!
Join our Discord if you need help or post on the official forum if you want tech support. Please

Thanks for your encouragement. This is a special mod and much is to be learned. I'm really enjoying the challenge. Cheers.

I don’t know if it is just me. But when I am in cold and dark. The battery on humming sound is audible. I don’t think I heard that in the previous version.
Skymatix 4 month(s) ago
It is fixed now in V4.04 Full

B737-800(ZIBO) V4.03.8 ELEC SYSTEM bug or design error
Scenery: A/C Cold&Dark, BATTERY Switch OFF, External GRD PWR plugged in (blue GRD POWER AVAILABLE light illuminated). Although the battery switch is off, the GRD PWR connects to the TRANSFER Busses when the GRD Power switch is toggled to ON. On a Boeing 737 this is only possible, when the BAT Switch is in the ON position.

Skymatix 4 month(s) ago
I have no problem with it, I use xCamera and it is fine for me. Please post to our forum for more help, we do not help here, as per the original post.
RAFIK
Why does the yoke on the CRZ during normal weather conditions no turbulence shake/vibrate all the time? is this behaviour correct? interestingly during climb or descent the problem disappears
Skymatix 4 month(s) ago
Fixed in the latest version
GrosserKrf03
has someone ever happened to be starting the 800x but the horizon on the pfd doesnt load? like the ---, ,--- markings do appear but not the sky or terrain, i uninstalled and installed the latest version imma see if it changes anything
Skymatix 5 month(s) ago
Did you align the IRS? Sounds like you forgot to do that
harrymowbs
it says I am missing files
Skymatix 6 month(s) ago
Not possible. Please check the installation and that you do not have remnants of the aircraft in other folders
daeaffaa
It seems there is a bug with the latest version: one of the two engines does not start.
Skymatix 7 month(s) ago
The new EEC has proved challenging. Zibo and Antonia seem to have fixed it now.
Please go to the forum for support in future, I do not monitor this page as mentioned in the main post already
trevog
Great, but the engines spool up way too fast! They basically have no response time at all
trevog 7 month(s) ago
Seems to be an issue with the latest version 4.02.32 (for me atleast). I downloaded it from the Google Drive now and it works better. Also, it seems to me the APU switch and the APU startup is a bit bugged? I thought when putting the switch to START, the LOW OIL PRESS light should come on for a few seconds, and the APU should start up. That's not happening here. And the radio frequencies doesn't show the last digit. Like 122.800 it shows 122.80 and the last digit is a blank space.
