| This is the Zibo mod Version for X Plane 12 .
It is the complete aircraft up to and including the version mentioned.
PLEASE NOTE that you also have to read the "changelogs" at the bottom of this main post to see the changes and REQUIREMENTS. No one can help YOU if YOU do not read and follow the instructions correctly!
!!! 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!
2) Open the Zip file
3) Extract the B737-800X folder directly into your X-Plane 12\Aircraft folder. Over write all the files when prompted
4) Copy your backup files back into position

Still giving Vulkan Error -_-

I am tired by the untimely disconnections of the autopilot on all versions that come out for XP12

Please ask for support on the forum, I never have that so you will need to provide lots of information to help us help you

Man, a lot of you don't know how to read a manual. If you did, you would've read that you need to disable Window's "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" in order to make this plane load correctly. Disabling that requires you to restart your computer. After that, the plane will load normally. This is why a lot of you are getting the "vulkan device lost" error. You could also just load a flight with the default cessna, then immediately load a new flight from there with the zibo plane and you're good to go without disabling Window's GPU scheduling.

Thanks for letting us know. I scanned the manual but didnt come across this part, Im just glad i seen your comment about it.

What the hell are u doing? You post tons of updates,but the main problem still exists!!!! It's just ridiculous,that u have to load a default acft prior loading the Zibo. Maybe u have to focus on this bug instead of making useless updates.
PS The aircraft itself is really good,but u have to work on full xp12 compatibility!
Skymatix 2 month(s) ago
Geeze bad attitude much, really???
I fail to see that it is our problem if you do not follow the official forum or read the Zibo install guide. You could have had the solution like everyone else a long time ago already 😊 All links provided in the original post above, happy reading mate. Cheers
Super_Hot 2 month(s) ago
So, do you offer me to disable hardware acceleration? You know, I'm frustrated because Only the Zibo 737 requires it and it's not OK is it?

What are you talking about? I fly the zibo on xplane 12 every day and I have had no problem at all. What glitches are you experiencing? Its probably an error with your sim and not with the plane itself.

Version 4.0 RC2.7 still will not load. Error dialog box says something about Vulcan. It worked the first time, but not since even though I removed the plane and installed again.
TomTheFox1337
This is garbage. You can't even boot into the aircraft. Do some troubleshooting and try loading this aircraft on different types of PC's before you go publishing them. You got me really happy thinking I could fly an updated Zibo in Xplane 12, so I'm very bummed.

If you have downloaded X-Plane 12 through Steam, try saving the files to this location: Click on "View Local Files" for X-Plane 12 in Steam or navigate to the following path: C: Drive > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > X-Plane 12 > Aircraft

you didn't follow instructions most likely, make sure you are using latest beta from steam or laminar installer
Skymatix 4 month(s) ago
Please read and follow the Zibo Install guide then you will be fine. The support forum link is n the original post as well.

После 2-3 минут загрузки зависает и больше не прогружается, получается его загрузить только после загрузки любого другого самолета. Все делал по мануалу

Отключите Windows, аппаратное ускорение графики или начните сначала с C172, а затем переключитесь на мод Zibo.

were there any changes for taxi lights dataref in 5.7? I have OVHD panel integration with lua script that was reading switch position value from laminar/B738/toggle_switch/taxi_light_brightness_pos, but with 5.7 it returns nil...

i have installed the zibo for xplane12, i followed each step to download it, but when i load into the zibo, it loads for around 5/7 minutes and then my xplane crahses, never had with with all my other planes like ff and toliss.., i have a friend who has it and works perfectly for him.

I have the same problem. First load a default x plane aircraft tracking real time weather and time. Then load the zibo mod which works for me. As you said strange this is happening. It works on my x plane 11 with no issues. Only x plane 12 it seems to have a few bugs
avegeek21p 6 month(s) ago
thank you very much, seems to work now love it since its a freeware aircraft and its at PMDG 737's levels, I used to fly the 737's on p3d but I needed to download lots of scenery, and the were way to heavy, so now for short hauls I started to use xp12 and mfs2020, and I gotta say that this zibo is amazing

Why the Zibo install guide is important. Please follow it diligently

Great work done so far! Suddently the ILS (APP,VOR/LOC) doesn't work :/
Partej 6 month(s) ago
I am having the exact same problem! anybody know how to fix this? the standard 737 that comes with the x plane works with app/loc. Also x plane crashes when I load the zibo mod. I have to start a new flight with a default aircraft for it to then work
Skymatix 6 month(s) ago
That is not a Zibo bug, unfortunately. For support, please go to our Forum
Partej 6 month(s) ago
Would you please be kind enough to send me the link for the forum explaining how to fix this? As I cannot find it unfortunately

Wrong version (3.55) is downloading for me, even though the button clearly says 4.0
Skymatix 7 month(s) ago
I do not read here often BESIDES I told you very clearly, that I do not do support here. You need to put support comments and requests on the forum, The link is provided in the original post.
Also, this is the correct version, you need to learn to read it correctly - V3.55 is the base version and 4.0 is the Ealy Access version number of the v3.55

Running B738X_XP12_EA_4_0 with great success on my Max Studio on the X-Plane 12 platform. The Zibo 737 is excellent in all manners and highly reccommended. Thanks for the continuous updates!
