First of all, I don't own the plane. That's why I ask these questions, to find out something I have been wanting to know for some time now:1) Can you save the panel state of the 737 (for FS9, of course, not the NGX!)? It doesn't have to be as fancy as the 747 or MD-11, it's fine if it's in the way of the J41.2) If 1) is answerd with no: exactly how time consuming would it be to enable this functionality in the 737? Will it require a complete rewrite of the code, or is it a quetsion of an extra module that saves all outputs of the gauges to a single file?

You can save flights as "cold and dark" situation files, that is about it. I would imagine trying to put in functionality like that after initial development would be difficult.

That's too bad. I'll stick to other planes for now, me thinks. I'll await the plans of the NGX, and if it doesn't come for FS9, I'll see what I do.

Ben, this was PMDG's first FS effort and was developed for FS2002. Saving a full panel state was never a function intended for the product. If you do a search, there are a few good workarounds which folks have developed. It will be interesting to see what the NGX brings. :(

I don't really need a way for cold and dark (I know how to do that one); what I need is a way to save the panel state in-flight. Since the old 737 doesn't have it, the NGX will probably not make it to FS9 and also Ariane 737s don't have panel state saving, I wondered if there's a way to still implement it afterwards. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, as long as I can start a flight, quit in the middle, and return the next day. One of the reasons I don't have the PMDG 737, is because I can't save the panel state... It really is of vital importance to me.Sometimes, I do make exceptions. It all depends on how much I want to have a given plane. For the 737 I don't make that exception, however, becaue I know I want to do medium-haul routes with it too, not just short-haul.

I don't believe PMDG will be doing an further work on this product. They have stated as such in a few posts. They are working on the NGX. Doesn't hurt to ask. :(

There's absolutely no easy way to implement this, it's a core feature of the gauges. The NGX will have it.
