PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

Hi Sometimes I have a problem with the NGX where the engines don't spin. They are fully functioning, but they don't spin, they just stay static from the exterior view. When starting up, you can see the smoke puff out of the back when they start up, but the fans don't spin. Also when this happens I've noticed the centre piece from the engine (don't know what they're called!) can't be seen, it's just like a white circle where they should be. Anyone else get this? I will try and post a screenie next time it happens! Martin

Hi there, I was working on a paint for the NGX. I know it is WIP and some issues are not being solved. Anyway, the fuselage is not glowing but is looks matt. I have saved it as dxt5 .dds and no mipmaps. So how can I make the fuselage glowing? Erik

hi simmers, i am planning to invest in this pre build gaming system , it is quite expensive 2700 bucks. what do you think ? would that computer be good for fsx?

I am trying to do a flight with the 737NGX following FSX ATC (yes, I know, FSX ATC sucks so let's not get into that but stay on topic ^_^ ). The problem is that I do know how to fly the 737NGX in 'automatic' mode, so how everything goes after completely setting up the FMC and let the plane do all the flying automatically. However, as soon as I have to do something different and I want to switch to flying still with the autopilot but with manually entered settings (so ignoring the FMC) I am totally lost... In the Airbus X for instance I can go to HDG mode while speed and alt are still in managed mode. I can simply change the altitude and the plane will change alt while…

Thought you guys might like to know that we just fixed that weird small jump in the flap animation as they come up into the fully retracted position. We noticed the 777 doing it too (more pronounced in that case because they're bigger) and RSR just tracked down the cause in the code this afternoon - expect that for SP2!

Hi, Can anyone explane me the real benefit of the to/go switch for takeoff? I always use it with my 737, but is this the right procedure in real life, do pilots always use it, or are there also manual takeoffs? Thanks.

Hi Flight Simmers! I just got the PMDG 737-800/900 because everybody says it is a really good jet. But I have a problem that REALLY bugs me. The problem is that I can only use the plane for about 2 or 3 minutes until it enters skeleton mode and gives me a OOM message. Sometimes the plane enters skeleton mode before I even start a flight (still in the Free Flight screen). My settings are: --------------------- Graphics: Custom Aircraft: Medium High Scenery: Very Low Weather: Very Low Traffic: Custom ------------------------ In my Graphics I set the display resolution to 1280x800 and set the Global Texture Resolution to High (otherwise can't read…

Hi, just one question before entering the FSX century (Yes I am still on FS9) Is it possible to have the VC open on the main monitor, while displaying/operating the 2D overhead panel and/or 2D FMC on a second/third monitor? If possible, would this mean any major impact on the frame rate? Thank you Peter

I`ve get this message. "The activation of the fulfillment is denied by the activation policy because max extra activations exceeded" each time i enter the activation code. I emailed PMDG (opened a Ticket) asking for the reactivation code but all i got is Extended download procedures and cost. What dont i get?

Hi guys, those of us who always try to enhance the realism of our flights will know that before every takeoff, the pilots will calculate a reduction of engine thrust to lower stress on the engines and reduce both fuel burn and noise. This calculation involves factors like runway length, wind, pressure, runway condition, slope and airplane weights, of course. Now, there is one excellent tool for this - TOPCAT. But, it does only include the 737-700 and -800 variants - needless to say they are simply the most common ones. However, there are also some very interesting 737-900 flights that I would like to simulate as realistic as possible. Long story short: Where c…

Hi everyone, I'm showing you this screenshot so you can see the kind of problem I have only with Ryanair livery. If I select any other, ngx works fine. But with Ryanair ones, either from PMDG website or avsim library this happens. Any idea why? Thank You in advance. Angelo Laranjeira

Hi guys, Just thought I would share a little video of my setup using the NGX westjet livery for the french Canadian simmers out there. Enjoy and let me know what you think :-) Thanks Chris

I noticed that there is provision in the CDU/FMC Descent Page to enter in a WPT/ALT Restriction for any part of the Descent Phase. However, it will not accept any input? Just checking to see if I am in error operationally, or, is the provision just eye-candy and is non functioning? Appreciate any assistance/clarification. PS: I've even attempted to enter details into the field during MOD ECON DES, but still doesn't accept any input. Rgds, Steve

Hi Guys, I've been struggling to find an answer to my question so thought I would start this topic. Sorry if this has already come up before. I want to load my 737 back to where I left it. For example, I flew from A to B and it was 3 hours. So time to my next service is now 247 instead of the 250 when I first started flying the aircraft. How do I save the aircraft so that when I do my next flight from B to C I will start with 247 hours left until next service? Thanks

Hi guys, Here is the same route as the last video but this time in english. Let me know what you think. Software used: PMDG 737-800 NGX FS2Crew + alot more Hardware: CPFlight MCP & EFIS 2 monitor setup + alot more Dont be shy to comment :-) Thanks Chris

Version 3.5.2012 REX latest Not seeing any wind readings in my upper left ND PMDG 738NG. Running REX as Admin all other weather diasbled FSINN etc. Still no joy with this. Have posted on REX as well. Anyone have a fix?

Hello everyone, I have not been able to find anyone with the issue I am having so I am starting a fresh topic. In the 737-800ngx my position light switch will only switch to the down position (steady). It will not go back to off or to strobe. What am I missing?? Thanks!

After starting FSX and when selecting 737NGX I have a skeleton of an aircraft with flight deck, Engines etc showing as it revolves and no airframe to speak of. When selected I can see through chunks of the Flight Deck that are missing so it is difficult to fly (with all the light and air rushing through and into the Flight Deck)...Can anything be done to sort it?

Hi, team: Is there a working software product that can be merged into the NGX or is there a mod to the NGX that will allow semi-authentic weather radar displays? It would be nice to see what is in the towering cumulus and CB's that I'm about to fly into. Thanks. Kev

Do you fly the NGX in Admin or user accounts? Are there any issues with flying the NGX in a user account set by a PCs admin account? Or do you do you fly in the admin account? I would appreciate your views here. Best Regards Julian

Would someone help me find the fly Dubai paint? I looked on Avsim without any luck

This is aimed primarily at the NGX development team, but if anyone else has any suggestions feel free. I'm looking to map the HGS lower/raise function to an axis on one of my throttle quads, but it isn't that simple. The biggest problem is that FSUIPC (which I'm using to do the mapping) doesn't allow a keyboard press on an axis map. FSUIPC only allows button presses as keyboard emulations, which means even if I assign a keyboard key to the HGS through the CDU options page, I can't then assign that keyboard key to the lever axis through FSUIPC. The only list of functions I can assign through an axis are the FS Actions that come with FSUIPC. Since the HGS is a cust…

Hi all. I was just wondering if air display for the iPad is worth the money it costs on iTunes? I have seen on YouTube about being able to undock the fmc and dragging it onto your iPad! One big question does it effect the frames? So should I buy or is it not worth it Cheers

Hi guy! How i can (if i can?) remove the window line from the 737ngx?

Hello, I recently did a trip from Las Vegas KLAS to Los Angeles KLAX, using departures and arrivals as follows. 25R Departure 25R Arrival Using BOACH4.HEC ... HEC.RIIVR2 All goes well until approach, where at SHELL, the plane just starts to dive into the ground, no disconnects, or mode changes. I have to quickly go into Vertical Speed and set it to not crash. Monitoring the approach, the descent path is perfect, well at least until SHELL. Hopefully this is user error here. I tried the same flight twice to the same end. And insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Adam Blanchette
