PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

  1. Hi all, In the flight sim accessibility add-on we're writing, I want to be able to display the overhead electrical panel meter in an accessible format. This requires reading the meter data with fSUIPC.I can read the first and second line of the meter using the SDK, but all I get back is a series of numbers on each line, without any labels. I'm guessing the labels are part of the sim, but I can't get to them, and since I'm totally blind, I can't read them.Can someone tell me what these numbers correspond to?Thanks!

    I have searched the forums for help on my issue, and I may have missed something but here goes anyway. I am running P3D v5 with both the Aerosoft a321 and the 737 NGXu, When I added EZCAM to both of them, the cockpit view would jerk or spasm in VC. I resolved the a321 problem by turning off "views" in MCDU 3, but I haven't found that option in the 737. I can make the jerking stop momentarily if I double click my mouse, but in a few moments it starts again. Does it have something to do with 737's panning camera (global?) that loads upfront? Then you must push the space bar and hold the middle mouse button to get the same kind of VC view that EZCAM loads upfront (and you d…

    Good day. I see my PMDG operations center has just updated my P3D v5 NGXu to 2.91.0647. No change log or post on their forums yet...just a heads up!

    Hi there, I wasn't sure where to post this, so thought I would start here. I am using FSX SE and PMDG 737NGX. I used to be able to do ILS landings quite routinely, however, lately the following problem has developed... Both localiser and glide slope are alive, and I am on final approach. Suddenly the airplane goes off course, seemingly in a random direction. This does not happen every time, but probably in about half the instances. I don't know whether this is some kind of a known bug or an operator error on my behalf. I would be extraordinarily grateful if someone would suggest either how to fix the problem (if a known technical bug) or what I may be doing wrong pr…

    Hey folks, I have the PMDG 737 NGXu installed on P3D v4.5 and there is a yellow message shown on PFD (INSTR Switch) see the snapshot. I looked up for it in all NGXu's manuals but not found. I was wondering, What does it indicate to? Is it a warning message? If yes, how to remove it? Do I have to solve it before the flight? Finally, I face a problem of engaging the CMD after take off, Do this (INSTR SWITCH) has any effect on CMD engagement? Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hello guys, Some background information: flying in real-life is not really happening these days, so I would like to keep my IFR/flying skills up to date. I decided to get the FSX SE with PMDG 737NGX to work on this. I previously used FSX with PMDG and it worked awesome. But that notebook crashed after some time and everything was, well, gone. Anyway, my problem is that PMDG 737NGX doesn't work on my FSX SE. Any reason for this? I have read a lot on forums and different topics. I performed the steam integrity control of the game, deleted fsx.cfg multiple times, I checked the 'preview DirectX' box, lowered the Graph quality of the game. But still the same problem…

    I revisit old videos of 737 MCAS system, because now I've a better understand of how the 737 works. MCAS is supposed to auto correct the pitch angle when it detects a steep climb. In the video, the plane pitch down 10secs, level off 5 secs. Is this a software bug or the pilots were not trained to handle MCAS system? But during 737 Max demo at air show, the plane performed well and even demonstrated zero gravity.

    Hi, I was flying on Vatsim this evening and the controller told me to level off at FL 110 at my next Waypoint GIVME which was approximately 30 nm away. At that moment I was flying at cruise level at FL 210. My plan was to use VNAV descent for that job. So I changed the altitude of GIVME in the FMC to FL 110 and pushed the "Des Now" Button on the DES page of the FMC. The plane started to descend with a V/S of exactly 1000 fpm. The controller asked me if this will work. Since I was 10000 feet above GIVME and the distance was approx. 30nm I thought the FMC will do everything correctly. I think the formula is 21000-11000 = 10000 feet 10000/300 =…
