Bottom line, Just wait for the NGX. You'll know it will work for sure.:(

No doubt about that. But in the mean time it is nice to fly with a great MD11, 747 8i, J41 and a nice 737NG with the latest Sids and Stars in a proper working FMC .Regards,Eric

Make sure you have FSUIPC 4.3 , newer versions won't make your AP/LNAV/VNAV/HDG workCheers!

I didn't changed my FSX.cfg.But It was a long time ago I did fly the plane. So I forgot that it is not like the MD11 procedures or 747.Reading the manual helped and the AP and AT now works like it should be.http://www.fsstation...pmdg-737ng.htmlThis tutorial helped. (of course no need if you're already a specialist)Regards Eric

I used the guide as given above .On www.flightsumulator.com (someone called Robbier) I also found this tutorial:1. Install the PMDG 737 into a folder OTHER than the FS2004 or FSX folder, I installed it into my desktop/FS2004. 2. Drag the contents of the files in the desktop/fs2004 folder to their corresponding location in FSX. For example, drag the contents of the desktop/fs2004/aircraft folder to FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes folder, and so on. If you find a folder that doesnt have a fsx corresponding folder, just drag it to the root FSX directory (PMDG, and FMCWP, for example). 3. When you get to the "Modules" folder, drag it to the FSX root folder EXCEPT for the "fsuipc.dll" file in there. 4. Install FSUIPC for FSX from the FSUIPC site. 5. Go into the "aircraft.cfg" of all of the newly installed planes, and put "quotes" around each value starting with a "ui." For example, change ui_manufacturer=Boeing-PMDG to ui_manufacturer="Boeing-PMDG" (notice the newly added quotes) . Do this for every aircraft.cfg file (the -600, -700, and -700 winglets) 6. If you want, you can place a "thumbnail.jpg" image in the texture folder of all the liveries of the -600, -700, and -700winglet aircraft to have a thumbnail in the FSX Aircraft selecting dialogue. This is purely for visuals in the aircraft select dialogue and is optional. 7. That's it! **If you wish to install liveries, install them BEFORE moving everything to the FSX folder (So, install them into the "desktop/fs2004" folder, or whichever folder you chose to use).** **If you want to install the -800 -900 addon, proceed with caution! I have heard of people having a lot of troubles trying to get the -800 and -900 into FSX. If you want the PMDG 737 in FSX using this guide, I advise you to stick to the -600 and -700, or you may face further difficulties** KNOWN BUGS: The sim will give you a message sometime after the airplane has been started telling you that it is unflyable, this is NOT true! You may also get a low fuel warning FSX message, but this has not proven to be true either. All very small issues. I copied the 600/700 but didn't copy the 800/900 model and the fsuicp.dll file. After starting FSX the FMC worked.Last night I did copy again the 800/900 model (after all worked well with the 600/700) and the 800/900 versions work as well.It is old, I know, but a very nice plane.Eric

If I may ask. When you did these steps, did you have any problems getting the textures to show? Everything works great except for the textures showing on the plane. It is all white.... very white! I have made sure about the quote marks and all. Any ideas on what I need to do? oh.. Im using FSX, WIN7 64.

Hi,No, no problems with the textures. Maybe you use DX10? That's not possible. (on my system)Eric

Hello,Yes indeed I had DX10 selected! Thank you for the idea and will remove that later this week and see if my plane looks normal again.James

Eric, I just wanted to update you on your suggestion about DX10.. You were right. DX10 was interfering..Once again thankyou. Now if I could just figure out the pesky problem while on final, being just left of ILS and landing on the left side of center on the runway. Once again...Thankyou!James

Why not do what RL crews do 98% of the time - land manually? :rolleyes:Iain Smith

LOL yeah... but i'm so picky about my sim that I want to be able to do both! LOL... I want my cake and eat it too.. oh.. have you had any problem using the PMDG 800 or 900 in FSX? I'm thinking about getting that one too now that I know this works.Thanks again for the suggestion... I'm now, once again, giddily flying the friendly skies in a PMDG.Best Reguards,James
