Externalities and the NGX

Featured Replies

One of the shots we already posted was exactly that:NGX_External_Preview_013.jpg
Sorry for the fix up! I guess I missed that shot.Thats exactly what I was looking for.Thanks Ryan! :)Tinosky~
Tino, Never ment to be rude or create confrontation,. I understand you dont post here often, and to be honest, you can see that I dont post here that often either (That doesnt mean I don't lurk here often). The point is, If PMDG is not going to provide you the screenshot of the way the wing looked in flight, are you not going to purchase the product? Im am not trying to single you out here by any means, just understand that for everyone who wants to see this and that, theres upteen amounts more of people that would rather have PMDG work on the project and are lurking quietly in the shadows. I will not speak on behalf of PMDG but Its obvious in several posts that you can sense their frustration on this topic as well. We can all agree that we have been more then impressed with what we have been provided so far. The NGX is going to set the bar so high, it will never be touched outside of PMDG, and lets be honest as flight simmers who probally have purchased several various aircraft addons, we have settled for alot less, and still enjoyed it. Were from the same city, sorry if we started off on the wrong foot, us local FS'ers need to stick together.
No worries there my friend! I found out that one of the shots was already taken, It was a mistake on my part that I didn't notice it. :)Cheers!Tinosky~

+738But other than that, why not just go ahead and save the pics on your HD. It's what I did anyways so I have em in one place.sig.gif
You can save the pictures in the HD, but the problem is where to find them. There are many pictures in older threads that are lost in the others hundreds of pages in the General Forum. A pinned locked thread only with pictures would be great.
I know this might be too early, but any ideas how much could this beast cost? So i can start saving money immediatelly biggrin.gif
No price yet. As Randazzo said and I have been reinforcing, PMDG is discussing commercial issues, such as price, internally. This information, as well as how the NGX package will be sold and other informations will only be annouced by the time of release or when we get closer to it.
Dear PMDG-Team, I am really looking forward for this bird while I am reading the NGX Chief Manuals and waiting patiently. Nevertheless I would like to know, how the fan blades are simulated. As in the old NG737 version I loved so much the animation when the fan blades are beginning to rotate and the different stages of the start up procedure was shown. The whole engine was smoothly running and the fan blades were completly unsharpened. Did you also redesigned this feature on this new NGX737 Version or it is now more realstic as the real aircraft behaves ? Thanks you so much for providing us such these quality of simulation. :( Best regards Pascal-Antoin Ducardus
I think was Randazzo who said that this feature is being improved in the 737NGX, so that the blade rotation will look much more realistic than in the old 737NG for FS9. <<<[Just to remind some people that the real plane is called 737NG. "NG" stands for Next Generation. Since PMDG already has another 737 for FS9, they add the "X" to differ both products. NGX is a designation PMDG gave to their new 737NG because of the "X" in FSX. Many other addon developers do the same when doing something for FSX that already exists in older versions of Flight Simulator.]<<<

Question about the NGX Manuals,Which set of manuals have a full checklist for the NGX? [Does the Flight Crew Operating Manual Vol. 1 & 2 have it?]Regards,

It's in FCOM 1 in the Normal Procedures section. I believe there's another copy in the QRH and at least the Chief Pilots set has a separate laminated copy.

One thing to remember, and I think a lot of people are confused about this, is that the standard checklist is only 2 pages. It is very simple and brief, and for most of the time, this is sufficient and ruduces the complication. This standard checklist is the one that is laminated with the captains and chief pilots sets, and bound into in the QRH. There are however 86 pages of very detailed normal proceedures in FCOM Vol 1, Chapt. NP, Sec. 21. These proceedures are incredibly detailed, and include everything from the walkaround to testing the emergency systems to securing the aircraft. They are not the checklists, but meant to be used along with the standard checklist. For example, it might give step by step insructions for a proceedure, and then say "Do After Take Off Checklist", which you would then do using the standard checklist referred to above. Then there is a supplementary proceedures section in the FCOM Vol 1 as well. These are additional detailed proceedures for non-emergency events that don't happen on every flight. (eg. Bad weather proceedures) Emergency or abnormal proceedures are obviously found in the QRH. Here's an example between the standard checklist, and the proceedures found in the FCOM: (Sorry for the bad quality. Thank Mr. iPhone, not me!)Standard Checklist:T/O Proceedure from FCOM Vol 1 (Three Pages)Hope this helps! =)

Hey guys!I'd like to ask something: Could anyone explain to me the difference between VNAV and LNAV?Thanks a lot.Bruno Fontanella.

Thanks for the response. Yea, the normal procedure information I was inquiring about. I have the QRH with the standard checklist. Regards,

Very quickly and basically:LNAV = Lateral NAVigation - this is your path over the ground.VNAV = Vertical NAVigation - this is your path in terms of altitude.LNAV is autopilot mode that follows the magenta line you see on the ND, the waypoints you're flying over and such.VNAV has multiple modes, but in the PATH mode (which is usually what people mean by VNAV), you're following what are essentially FMC calculated glidepaths during your climb or descent. These are visible on the vertical situation display in a side-profile view if the airplane you're flying is equipped with the VSD option. VNAV allows you to hit altitude and speed restrictions in the climb and descent automatically as long as they are physically possible for the airplane to do.

LNAV=Lateral Navigation. This means navigating over a ground track. VNAV=Vertical Navigation. This is the control of your altitude. When programing the FMC/CDU, certain values are entered such as waypoints, VORs, etc that determine the LNAV data. Same for VNAV data. You can tell the FMC that you want to be at FL390 altitude when crossing the LDK VOR. When these modes are engaged, the aircraft will follow the directions entered into the FMC/CDU. It sounds like you may have some practicing to do before the arrival of the NGX. :( Take Care. =)EDIT: Too Slow!EDIT 2: My explanation is very simplistic. Ryan's is much better.

This is an important distinction to note - the actual "checklists" are very short, they don't tell you how to do every single step needed to operate the airplane - those are the normal procedures. There's some confusion about this in the FS world I think because some companies have huge step by step lists that they call checklists when they're really closer to full normal procedures. Real pilots basically commit the normal procedures to memory (these are the "flows" etc), they're not reading those out of a book/checklist.

2 more days to go to my birthday, Februar 18th :D I was hoping that the 737NGX would be released at this date but I think I'm wrong :( Really poor, because 18th my holiday will start. 1 week free of school :( Was hoping to fly the 737NGX then.:(-By the way, Ryan:The Flight Crew Training of the 737NGX will fully describe for example how to start up the engines? It will describe how to start-off from a cold and dark cockpit? It's will describe what to do before push back, before taxi, before take-off, what to do en-route, what to do before decending, approaching, landing, taxi, engines shut-off etc?In other words, the 737NGX Flight Crew Training will fully explain how to operate the 737NGX from begin to end? With operate I just mean: How to fly. Not how it works, because then I have to take the Volume 1 and 2. ;)Kind regards
