hello, i just installed pmdg 737 ngx and i am on fsx load up the plane and it says intailsing system and the plane is off, how do you automatically change the settings for this? thanks.

It takes about 20 seconds to load. Once it does that you can select something in the FMC regarding aircraft states. Otherwise Just start FSX in the default c172 with engines and avionics on, then switch to ngx. The aircraft should be ready to go.

Like said earlier let the plane load then use the FMC to load the panel state u want. Dont load a default plane then switch to the NGX. Will cause problems.

Read the manual, specifically the introduction.

I did that on the FMc but still having problems it's not starting. Any recommendations please help

What exactly is your process when u go into the FMC. And what do u mean by the plane not starting?

I go into the FMc go into options select state and click normal or default and excuete and it loads up and the plane engines are still. Not running.

Set the plane up in whatever state u want it, then save that panel state in the FMC then u can load it whenever u want it.

I guess it's only a problem with the expansion pack cause the normal one works. Need to reinstall .

What is your default flight, the one you get when you start up FSX? PMDG says it doesn't matter what your default flight is and what plane has been loaded when you start FSX but I found out that's not really true: I had to reset my default flight to the FSX default in order to get the 737NGX working (I could start the plane from cold and dark but thrust didn't work at all due to my default flight having another plane in cold and dark).

Hi AllIf you read the manual and the introduction tutorial flight, you will see there that it has been written in no uncertain terms that you do not, I repeat do not have to load up a default FSX aircraft first before then loading the PMDG 737. This is a complete and utter nonsense, which I have never had to do for any PMDG aircraft.As someone said above read the Intro Tutorial, read the manaual, I will add to this mantra, learn your product.Nearly all of the problems discussed in this forum are due to people not reading, remember the old adage, "read everything befor doing anything".Wycliffe
