PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

Hi all. Despite reading all the various posts on not being able to engage CMD B once fully established with VOR/LOC and GS fully annunciated, I still cannot stop CMD A tripping out leaving me with a CWS annunciated. I have started cold and dark and have all hotfixes loaded. To be sure I was establshed I left it quite late before selecting the second autopilot and the diamond was pink (magenta?). I have the autopilot set to realistic. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.John

Hello,when i am looking at the FMC in flight some speeds show in MACH and some in KNOTS? is this normalthanksjames.

Hi Guys: Wondering how I would bind VNAV switch to a joystick button, see how to bind it to a keyboard in FMC but not a joystick, thanks.

Hi All I did see a post at some point about how to minamise this effect of the view tipping forward unrealistically when braking on landing, this can be minamised by changing some settings, anybody know where that is, thanks

Hello, I am thinking of getting EZdok for my FSX/NGX. Would you recommend it ? Does it affect FPS ? Thanks in advance Karim

I'm curious if anyone else is having this issue. It seems as though my landing light effects have reverted back to "default" style. I'm curious how to rectify this issue without re-installation of the NGX. It seems as though the issue showed up after adding a new livery, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll take a look after work if no one has any ideas.

I've put some serious hours into the NGX. I want some extremely hard approaches. I've mastered Kai Tak and Toncontin. Innsbruck and Sucre don't seem very challenging to me. Is there anything thing more extreme out there? List your most extreme airports that pilots wouldn't dare to do with passengers here!

NetJets please? 737-800WL! (To simulate a BBJ2..) :D We need some good corporate liveries.. and I'm not any good at repaints.

Hi Guys', again spent some several hours in this beautiful PMDG.Try to read a much as possible and realy made some nice and save flights. One issue keeps on irrutaing me and i can't find the answer, !! maybe i overlooked some seetings. When i start my takeoff roll and go over 40 knots and give full power, this f..king horn keeps tooting during takeoff.. i think i prepaired the cockpitwith all neccesary seetings but it still keeps tooting until airborn. Some tips please ? what i'm overlooking. Have a nice flying weekend Greetz Rob

I would like to see these option added to the 737NGX. 1. Non-Aspirated TAT 2. VNAV path pointer, deviation scale option, the NGX currently has the path deviation band, vertical ANP/RNP values option.

Hi all, I'm flying with a bunch of the 'simple' gofligth hardware - RP48 button and roatary switch modules (x3), GF-T8 switches (x2). These are usually easy to program because they're just picked up by FSUIPC as joystick inputs. I'm trying to interface this with the NGX, particularly to control the MCP. Tried using the Goflight settings for default planes - as expected, no luck. Tried using FSUIPC to adjust heading, IAS, altitiude - also didn't work. Questions: 1. has anyone got FSUIPC working for hardware control of MCP?2. this is potentially a stupid question - are there key commands to control all this? I'm used to these being in the add-ons menu, but there's just an '…

Hi everyone, Having a blast so far with this jet. But I, like others, have had numerous flights ruined by the panel freeze bug. I purchased the addon after hotfix #3, so I am up to date. I noticed that on occasion when using other views (spot, other aircraft, tower), I'd come back to the VC to have my panels frozen. This morning, on taxi to the runway at KPIT, my panels froze so I started poking around. I started playing with Views --> New View --> Cockpit --> Virtual Cockpit. I found that once I had a new window open with the VC in it, my panels started working again (you can tell in the VC window). Then I could just close that window (shift + ]) and I was bac…

Hi Guys OK, in 'my world' I want to get myself a new Ryanair B738...... So, can anyone tell me what process a new B738 delivery to RYR would look like ? Would the a/c roll out in RYR colours at KBFI ? How many test flights would be made and what sort of duration / routing do these follow. How is delivery made ? Is the a/c flown direct from KBFI to Shannon or is it staged through several airfields before getting to the UK? When it arrives at Shannon what happens ? Do RYR do their own test flights or is it put straight into service ? Sorry if I sound a bit geeky asking all of this, I just want to do this as real life as possible, humour me . Kind regards, Mark LindleyGra…

Dear fellows, Is there someone painting military variants for the NGX??? Regards

I just completed my first flight in the NGX from FlyTampa Athens to UK2000 Heathrow; around 4 hours total. Everything worked perfectly. Well done, PMDG! DJ

Okay, so this isn't the freeze you're expecting. I was completing a flight from EGKK to EGCC, and all went well until 20 feet on landing,when all of a sudden the aircaft jerked hard right, slamming winglet first into the ground. At first I thought the gear collapsed or that I didn't extend the gear, but then I slowed down, and realised that the NGX itself just froze.Not my sim, just the NGX. It was completely unresponsive to everything except throttle, and the displays were all stuck on 20 feet above the ground on final. Quite a bummer, since this would've been the first flight that worked well... Any ideas? I followed all appropriate checklists, but it appears the aircr…

Is anyone out there using the Saitek yoke, throttle quad, rudder pedals, and switch panel? Or any combination there of? I recently purchased these items, (had been eyeballing them for a while) but wanted for release of the NGX so that I'd get them all at the same time. every thing is installed and working fine...EXCEPT the switch panel. I can't seem to get it to work with the NGX. it works fine with all the default a/c in the hangar, but load up the 737, and NOTHING. I've tried just about everything. even registered my copy of FSUIPC. still nothing. maaybe I just don't know what the **** I'm doing but no information i find is pointing in the right direction. I even went t…

Helle Gents/Ladies some questions i hope you can help me with ;) 1. Landing ALT in Pressurearitationat just set it to 0 or is this important to get right. Tryed to see charts but cant se any alt on arrival airports? 2. Speed breaks(shift-') armed before takeoff, but should the turn it self off after take off, or do you have to turn them off? 3. RTO ON alarm goes on , if OFF no alarm when rolling on take off, ON or OFF? 4. How do you reset the IRS both on ground and in air, got a dissagree one time on ground......... 5. APU gen off lights(blue) lights in flight, have i not turn itt off? 6. reserv on fuel to set in FMC, is this in % or KG? lest say i put in 5 what dos it m…

Hi all- Is there a way to edit enb on the fly as opposed to opening the .ini > save > restart FSX? Thanks,Mark

I find that when following a star with a 180 degree onto finals I struggle to get fully established and fight hard to do so. Perhaps my choices are not as per real world and I'm using the incorrect ones for the approach to the runway. If I was to approach EGLL from the general direction of France as an example, irrespective of runway how would one select the correct star and transition? I guess the charts would provide all the answers ? please correct me!

Again going through full procedures.......having a problem starting L engine. Isolation Packs, dual bleeds, Start Switch on GRD, on IGN L, fuel pumps running, engine will not start after raising the Engine Lever. Noticed that N2 does not exceed 18.2% and FCOM V1 indicates minimum N2 required is 20%. I must be screwing-up something, cannot put my finger on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Thanks,Zach

Going through full procedures (800WL), there does not seem to be a C/R switch (Cancel/Recall). It's supposed to be just to the left of the Autobrake switch. Is this a problem or is it located somewhere else on this aircraft model ? Thanks,Zach

Just as the title says, FSX gives me CTD on startup with the PMDG_dll as the fault problem. If I remove the modules folder it all works fine! I have downloaded the latest FSUIPC, deleted all button and axis assignments. Yesterday after reinstall #3 it worked literally ALL day long, i assigned some basic functions thru FSUIPC and all was ok. Go to start up my sim today and now the dreaded CTD's. This not fun any more and actually quite frustrating. Any help would be great! Rob

Hello everybody, I'm new to FSX and PMDG. I try to do the tutorial n°1 and I have a problem that could seem very simple to you but I need help : the MCP speed knob doens't react. It still displays 100 and I cannot change it to an other number (149 for example in the tutorial). MCP heading knob and altitude knob both work correctly. Do you have an idea please ? I tried to uninstall and re-install the PMDG 737 800/900 files but the problem persists.Sorry for the bad english and thank you for your help.

Ryan,Just want you to know I'm very excited to see Tutorial #2. If I understand correctly, it will be a flight from Amsterdam (Schiphol) to Innsbruck.You may be aware, or for those that don't know, Just Planes Videos has done a cockpit series of Transavia Airlines featuring 737 700/800/300. One of the flights on this DVD is this very route in a 737-800. This video is very well done, instructional, and this flight features this very unique approach into Innsbruck. I have watched this video many times and can hardly wait to try it myself following your tutorial.The approach features the localizer dme east approach. A gear down, flaps 30 approach from 18 miles out. They…
