Hi,It would be great if you could prepare an aircraft.cfg which could be used by Project Magenta users. ThanksThomas.

From what we are seeing from PMDG in the General Forum I am not sure you would need it. :(

I wouldn't bother using Project Magenta with the NGX. It sounds like a waste of $1000. If you buy the NGX, you shouldn't need Project Magenta. Since the NGX will already have an FMC, PFD, ND, EICAS and Overhead, MCP, ect which you have to buy individually with Project Magenta. Thats just my thoughts.

I agree with Alex, but of course PM is really meant for serious cockpit builders and for them, they need it and there is still nothing better (for builders). For the other 99% of the sim world, I think the NGX will have everything one needs. I really can't wait to play with the SDK. I think I'm waiting for that more. Having undockable FMC's and ways to interface the NGX with various MCP's on the market will be more than enough for most people. Even with the aging 744 PMDG made the windows undockable for us builders. It's a lot of time in developement to do drivers and get decent functionality which is why in some cases you need third party. There isn't much (if any) money in it so am glad there are still some companies willing to go the extra mile (kilometer).*Also before people get the wrong idea. You are not a cockpit builder just because you have 2 desks deticated to all your controllers and different gizmo's :PThat is where a good SDK will help us all.

Haha, Dan you are always cracking jokes. I agree, but PM is way too expensive. It is nice, but not that nice. I was wanting to build a pit for months, and never was able, I just don't have the money to do that.

Yeah, it's an aquired taste for sure and I never really "Had the money". I built slow back then, little here and there but not anymore. PM only cost me I think $340.00 since I got it before the increase to what I think was $800 (this was back around 2002). But either way, it's a lot of coin to shell out and I currently prefer the easier gizmo here and there with a means to interface them. Maybe after I someday buy a house I'll get back into building, I'll need a big area since I also want full and functional hydraulics for my pit (that is not a joke :().* I think I know what Thomas means since a PMDG aircraft has it's logic and PM is it's own logic but he may want to use the PMDG AC visually while flying with PM, is that what you mean Thomas?

Like Jonathan Richardson's?

"* I think I know what Thomas means since a PMDG aircraft has it's logic and PM is it's own logic but he may want to use the PMDG AC visually while flying with PM, is that what you mean Thomas?"Yes, this what I meant.I am a cockpit builder, I have a complete simulator with all the glasscockpits and most of the harware (MCP, Efis, Throttle, Overhead, FMC,...). Becuase PM and plane developpers have different logics, and this applies to every developper, not only pmdg, it is always very time consuming to modify the aircraft cfg in order to make the plane running with the PM logics. You always get conflicts between both logics, I meant that I would like PM and pmdg working on an aircraft cfg which would enable to fly the ngx (visually) with PM logics without having to spend hours in trying to arrange the cfg.Thanks for your interest in such a small community of simmers.Thomas
