PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

Hi everyone, whilst not having the knowledge, talent nor the skills to this myself are there any willing 'volunteers' to do the following paints?BMI BabyThomsonflyBritish AirwaysJet2I think the 600 series would be a good?Understand they are not exactly RW but I think they would make a wonderful addition to the fleet?! Alternatively anyone know of a good tutorial for me to have a bash at myself!?Many thanks in advance :)

Just a quick mention,The 900 series has indeed gone bonkers after sp1B and also noticed the wings (looking back out from the 700 VC)have gone for a walk.I don't care too much about that.It has become even smoother now.Thanks TEAM PMDGCheers, Rick

I recently upgraded from a Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q9650 (overclocked to 4.05 GHz) and built a new computer with a Core I7 2600K. This processor has turbo boost technology, and with an Asus motherboard, I just check on box to get a 100% stable GHz. With my original processor, I was getting "manageable" FSX performance and hardly "bearable" NGX performace. Hardly bearable being 12-18fps at airports and 30 fps tops at altitude.Now, with all texture settings maxed out, default FSX aircraft are for the most part holding steady at 60 fps no matter where I'm at (Vsync enabled via Nvidia inspector). The NGX is getting a very smooth 30-35 FPS while taxing around Flytampa airports …

Captains-I am in the process of uploading a ton of stuff for you this Friday evening. (Provided that a ton is defined as "approximately 1GB give or take a few megabytes )For those that do not know, I live in a place that has third world internet connectivity so my upload speeds are only enviable if you are still on dial-up. Since we are releasing SP1b, this also means replacing the installers on the distribution server, so the total upload size is quite large and can take many hours!I am trying to get all of this uploaded before the temperature drops tonight, as our cold nights tends to cause my DSL connection to drop and reconnect randomly. (Thank you AT&T... and…

Before I buy the NGX, I just wanted to make sure my system will be able to handle it well. I have read that it is quite demanding on resources. I have a homebuilt i7-920 2.67 ghz overclocked to 4.0 ghz, GTX-275 1792 mb card, 12 gig DDR3 Corsair ram, and Windows 7 64 bit. FSX runs quite well. Any ideas? Thanks. Tom

Hello guys,Could you please confirm If the following happen to everyone or just to my config:After acceleration height (A/T TOGA mode with no Autopilot) once the BUG UP speed is selected into MCP the Flight Director commands correctly an acceleration but with a target speed of MCP speed + 20 instead of MCP speed.Any opinion about?Thanks

HelloFirstly, the NGX is awesome! However, i am experiencing intermittent frame rate drops when i use control inputs via either the rudder pedals or joystick. For example, i will be flying at altitude or taxing at the airport and if i use the rudder or ailerons to make a control input my frame rates drop at tmes up to 50%. I flew handheld into KLAX with the 2D panel the other day and it dropped to nearly 5fps at some points! I never had this problem previously with the NGX so it seems to be recent for some reason. The same approach was flown with the level-d and it they remained in the upper 20's under the same conditions! The only association i can make is the the frame …

I know the answer will vary by operator, but can some of the folks who work for airlines tell me what policies are in place on when (and when not) to use the HUD for aircraft that have it installed. I'm wondering if most operators only use it during low visibility approaches, or if some use it all the time. It is handy to have your airspeed and aim point displayed for you, even if the visibility is good, but I wonder if I'm "cheating" by using this while I (hand) fly approaches.Bill Rowe

I am using Radar Contact. RC gives me vectors to the final approach course. I engage VOR/LOC & the PMDG 737NGX turns onto the approach course. Both Flight Directors are on, the approach course is set, both radios are tuned to the proper frequency. The FD shows VOR/LOC. I am below the glideslope. Autopilot is set to CMD A. The FD slows MCP speed, ALT ACQ. At about 10 miles from the airport, I press APP on the MCP. Nothing happens & the aircraft continues toward the runway, passing above the glideslope. What am I doing wrong?

Hello!I have investigated quite a lot regarding the combination of 738 FMC and FSX ATC (the built-in, not r/l like VATSIM/IVAO). I know that many of you guys don't like the built - in FSX ATC - but for me this is the only alternative as I am not yet ready to go IVAO.This is what I *think* to know:a) FSX ATC is unable to handle SID/STAR A FSX Flightplan cannot be "loaded" into 738 FMCc) A flightplan typed into 738 FMC will not be "understood" by FS ATCd) If I want to have some kind of *real" flightplan that can be used by 738 FMC & FSX ATC I have to use a third party add-onMy questions are:1) Are my findings a) - d) correct?2) If yes: Is there a freeware Flightplanner …

Hi evry one, I always crash FSX after a flight with the 737NGX.Everything is up to date, and fresh installed including WIN 7 64 bits (change my motherboard and processor).I am flying with the 737NGX, the MCP Pro with 2.03 driver version, EeasyDock and Saitek Pro Yoke. With this combinason I always have a crash when exiting FSX. The event in windows dont tell me exactly what is the problem, I have only the information "cross-thread" in the octets parts of the event of windows.Does any one experience this problem ? Of course the crash only happen when using the 737 NGX.A part from this problem, every thing is working perfectly and this plane is a great "toy" to flight, than…

Ho ho ho fellow flight simmers!here is an early preview of airberlin's special 'Santa Claus Tour 2011' livery. Still got lots of things to adjust - as you can see - the paintkit has got its weak points.I am still in search of a good image of the small logo next to left forward entry door but I wasn't able to find one yet, if anyone has one, your help is wanted .Kind regards,

Just wondering if reactive windshear is modeled in the NGX as I'm just after flying through some fairly heavy WS but no alarm. I get that there probably wouldn't be predictive windshear if the wind in FS is anything like rain and clouds, but reactive windshear should be easy enough to define by a few parameters.Rónán O Cadhain.

Hi allAre there any issues to fly the NGX with Active Sky Evolution?? When i do simulation graphics tend to freeze after a while,Than after a few minutes my screen get black, but no CTD, can stil hear sounds of FSX. Could this be a cause of myhardware are to weak? Memory?My specs:intel core 2 quad Q6700 @ 266GHz, 4 GB RAM, nVIDIA GF GTX 480 and Win 7 64bit. Corsair 750W PSU.I'm worried it is my system memory that are not good enough because some times i've got message that says"system ran out of memory". I can tell that i have no issues when flying other PMDG addons, i have 747X, Bae JS4100and the MD-11..I've started a new PC-build that will be ready in two weeks, than i …

I've tryied to fly an offset route using the offset page on the CDU. The page shows the offset input but when trying to use it I allways get a "invalid data" message.I've tryed entering the offset distance in different formats like "2", "1.5", "002.0" without success.Is there some bug with this function?Regards!

Hi guys,I've been following the forum for ages but have not yet said hello or needed to post a problem. Recently i have been flying the NGX and noticed that shortly after take off and set up on LNAV the aircraft starts to sway left, then over compensates to the right and so on........the rocking gets bigger and bigger until i give up and shut down FSX. Does anyone know why this could be ? I have the latest NGX update and everything else is running well. I also have a licensed FSUIPC.Thank you in advance guys.Andrew Blake

Hello,where is 2D thrust panel in 737NGX??BRLukas

When flying under average conditions (Weather etc) in the real world, at what point before landing does the pilot normally take over the controls and manualy fly the plane?Does company procedure policies apply here at all or is it P.D.?

Hi, I'm sorry if there are already existing threads of this type, but my search button weren't co-operating with me.Allow me to explain my problem:I recently bought the NGX-737, and have really enjoyed it. So to emphazise on the realism in this plane, I wanted to use FSP with it. I started my flight, and got to my T/D, before my screen freezed and it went saying FATAL ERROR, RESTARTING. I thought that this was merely a one time event, and therefore restarted my flight. As I started the board, it froze again. I did this 5 times more to be sure, and then went to write on the FSP forums, and I was told to delete my .cfg . I did this, but the same problem is occuring again, a…

Hello,where is 2D thrust panel in 737NGX??BRLukas

The following is an edit of Martin Boehme's thread back in August as I'm experiencing the exact same issue using the NGX SP1....I'm using a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with additional throttle quadrant with the 737NGX, and I'm having a bit of trouble setting the 737NGX up to work correctly with separate throttles (i.e. "throttle 1" and "throttle 2"). It works manually, but not under A/T but the "cyan arc" feature does not work correctly, and sometimes moving the throttle causes the autothrottle to disconnect even though I have "A/T manual override" set to "NEVER" (or indeed any option). This is in MCP Speed Mode, I appreciate depending on the override setting if in ARM mode m…

Anyone know how to set in the correct time in the FMC 'POS INIT' page. I can set it through the FSX option for 'time -date season'. But I cannot set it directly into the FMC. In the PMDG NGX Flight Operations Manual /Vol 2/ 11.40.10 , it is stated "" If the GPS time is not valid,GMTstarts at 0000.0Z when the FMC is first powered. MON/DY is blank. Manually enter the correct GMT""..----I have tried. everywhich way to manually enter from the scratchpad getting repeled each time . Thanks ahead for any replys. Hopefully one day I will have learned enough to allow me to make a reply !!!! (gonna be a while though !!)
