Hi, guys ,Is it possible to implement a function for loading the plane (737ngx) , using the loadmanger , by using a lsk from the fmc,if you want to load the plane you have to use the loadmanager but if you want to make a second connecting flight you have to minimize fsx , use the loadmanager go back to fsx and continue but i think it would be nicer if you can bring up the loadmanager by clicking a fmc lsk ,(just like opening the doors in the md11 ),load the plane and continue , in this case you won't have to leave fsx wich i think is more realistic . Best regards ,Gérard

In the js4100 the load manager is implemented in the loadsheet in the VC. Its my guess that PMDG will implement something like this to the NGX as well, as the js4100 was a test bed for the NGX.

I dont see how adding fictional pages in the CDU is more realistic, but I do agree that it would be a nice feature

There's already precedent for doing this with the MD-11 though... the NGX has a bunch of "PMDG" pages accessible from the CDU's root menu that allow you to set options and whatnot. There are no fictional pages inside the actual "FMC" portion of the CDU.

It's a good way to intergrate the options IMO, considering there is a seperate PMDG root menu. Much better than going through FS/windowed menus.

Will we be able to go to an alternate airport if needed? Using the FMC, obviouslly. (or maybe not):(

They did that with the 747, and maybe the original 737 which I havn't had the pleasure to fly, It would be incomplete without alternates availible.

So Ryan, there's no "FS Shortcuts" page like the MD-11? I kind of liked that, but am always game for something new and improved.

Yes there are, but they are accessable only from the root "Menu" page. It would be unrealistic if they were availible through the FMC or ACARS modes.

Exactly. It would even be realistic to get HBO from the root menu of the CDU. Who knows, if we can get SkyBlue radio by simply tuning a radio frequency in our airplane, this should also be a possibility.

Thanks guys, that makes sense. I think I was looking at the "FMC" as Ryan described too broadly to mean the entire CDU.

Very cool. I do not own your MD11, so this is a new feature for me. And most welcome.

There's actually 2 root menu options currently:PMDG SETUP >FS ACTION SHORTCUTS >PMDG SETUP has all the stuff actually pertaining to the aircraft itself like the Honeywell vs. Collins MCP, PFD/ND vs. EFIS/MAP etc - FS ACTION SHORTCUTS is your fuel, payload, doors, pushback, etc.
