I'm trying to find in the literature a figure that defines Boeing's term "icing conditions". One would assume this is near freezing temps with visible moisture; what is the actual TAT that indicates "icing conditions" according to Boeing?Secondly, knowing that TAT is used to figure out when to use anti-ice, that would mean higher speed is desirable when in known icing, correct?

where did he go? He hasn't been on here in months and he used to repaint our BBJ liveries?

Hi guys,I'm currently on enroute with SWA131 from Orlando to Phoenix. Since the take off I had a very hard time with about 60 kts headwind and thus using more fuel than I thought of. That's why I did configure an step climb from FL380 up to FL400. The FMC showed me about 4% saving from this but instead of making the climb soon after I entered it into the system but rather 500NM later. I have now done that climb and it was the right decision: now I've an fair tailwind of about 10kts and saving some fuel.So my question now is: How does the plane know when to make that step climb?

Hi:I've noticed that everytime I have the Terrain display enabled on the ND I will sooner or later get a CTOD, without it everything is fine. I have a i-7 950 with 12 gigs memory, 586 Invidia card, REX & ASE UTX enabled. Frame rates seem fine right up to the crash. Any ideas? Other than that I love the NGX.Lon Duncombe

Hi guys,After installing sp1b awhile back and sp1c just today, my aircraft.cfg files are still showing "Current with Build: 1.00.3057". Is this normal? I ran the installer again and it said that it detected version 1.00.3219 but no change to the .cfg files.Thanks

Hi fellow simmers!1st sorry for the spelling in the headline ;(So I've been flying in and out of Innsbruck and Salzburg these days. Both airports have requirements regarding climb gradients on departure and on missed approach procedures.My problems is, that I have not been able to figure out how and can calculate if I meet those requirements, based on weight, thrust, weather and so on?Looking through FCOM 1 I can only find climb gradients for Go-around with one engine INOP at flaps 15. That takes care of the whole Go-around issue.1. Regarding TO climb gradient, I've been unable to find any table? Have I missed something? (using the GA table would be incorrect, as the clim…

Hi everybody,since i have installed SP1c, Leisure boats will be displayed as Traffic at the Navigation Display.Can someone else confirm?Gr. Harald

Hi All,For some reason on the flight I'm currently on, the ATA time continues to jump to random numbers on both the FMC as well as on the moving map display. It hasn't done that up to this point. Just curious if this is something I've done wrong or if it's some sort of bug. I saw someone else had the issue at another point in time.Thanks for the help,Connor Duchen

I came across these videos on youtube and they're really good, take a look!here's the first video and there are more on that person's youtube channel: =Kind Regards,Dan

Are you okes concerned about deck angle when the airplane is light on take off or not really? What do you do'if you are, lower thrust setting or just let it accelerate past V2+20?FRED

Well fellow NGXers....I opted to remain quiet about this prior to embarking on this adventure (in terms of forum announcement) just in case I crashed and burned during the sim experience, and then I'd have to openly admit to all at the forum I was an embarrassment.The good news is simply this.....I managed to handle the bird quite well for my 1st time in a 738 Level C Full 6-DOF simulator. A whole 3 and a half hours! And boy,does time go FAST!Now for the meat & potatoes.Background: I am not an aviator, just an aviation enthusiast. I've been flying the NGX since August last year (ie 2011). I've taken the time to read as much of the documentation PMDG has provided, in a…

Hi to all guys, I'm using HIDMacros, a very useful tool, to assing key sequence in NGX to a 2nd keyboard, but I'm having many troubles with 737 NGX, while with others aircrafts works well. I'm using also EZCA, but I suppose this is not a problem.Seems like HIDMacros doesn't send (but most probably PMDG doesn't recognize) CTRL, SHIFT, ALT or sequnce of CTRL+ALT etc etc operator to 737 PMDG NGX, but only the single letter, e.g.:If I set in PMDG CDU: LANDING LIGHT with CTRL+L (as deafult) sequence and write in HIDmacros the sequence ^l (stand for CTRL+L) nothing happens, but if I set in PMDG: LANDING LIGHT with only L key and set in HID Macros the sequence l it works great, …

Tutorial #2. If if I find anything else, I'll just reply here.15C - (first two digits of the altitude x 2)So for our cruise altitude of FL390 its:15C - (39 / 2) = 15C – 78 = -63CIt should be 39 * 2, not /.Just for the info.

Got this one about FL070 landing at SBCY... SCANNING DME FAILFCOM2 10.60.8:ALERTING MESSAGE SCANNING DME FAILCAUSE Inputs from both frequency scanning DME radios have failed.CORRECTIVE ACTION Clear the message and check position. Radio updating of FMC position is not available. I did the CORRECTIVE ACTION and the position were OK. The distance to ILS were correct but the VNAV was unable to reach at 2100 FT at FAF, the only restriction on the approach.Someting to do with the dme fail or just coincidence? I have made this approach several times and was the first time that the VNAV was unable to reach FAF at correct altitude... winds less them 8 kt all the way down and i was…

I never had any problems with NGX since day one. However, since the installation of SP1c, a small thing has occurred when flying a flight plan.Having setup the FMC with a company route using Flight Sim Commander and the latest Navigraph data after take off, and the autopliot activated etc, the aircraft begins to fly an S pattern in heading toward a waypoint. After passing about 4 or 5 waypoints things straighten out. I am using Sids and Stars where possible but I can't imagine that would be a problem. Very strange. I attach a pic to illustrate the problem.Sure could use some help on this as it has me stumped.Jack FentressRe; the attached pic, I couldn't get it to attach…

On Twitter it says that the release of FS2Crew for the NGX is just a matter of hours now...... :(

Should it be set to Both or Left/right after engine start??

tuto #2 page 96"Press LSK 1L to copy TESGA into the scratchpad.• Type 270/20 after it - the full entry looks like TESGA270/20• Press LSK 1L to insert the new waypoint.We now have a TES01 waypoint that is located on the 270 degree bearing from TESGA at 20nm"tried it many times just works fine !I also tried to create a new waypoint TES02 that is linked to TES01 with bearing/distance info = TES01350/40 and that did not work ?? Could you please check and confirm or not ?If confirmed, is that normal not to be able to create wypts linked in sequence with the previous ones ?thanks ins advance

After installing sp1c i had to reinstall my liveries but the panel config changed to other liveries. Example my air berlin panel config changed to my gol livery. I tried to reinstall the ngx but no it didnt fix it.And when configurating my panel on the fmc I saw that the registration number was incompatible with my livery.Exemple i was with a PR-GUF and the fmc said that I was with the PR-GIO.can someone help me .Thanks

Hi,I downloaded and installed SP1c on both variants on NGX, but did not have enough time to install my liveries before running to the (RL) airport...do I need to redownload the mcphat installers again? I remember someone saying they change the key everyday or so...
