What kind of bad habits? Anything you should watch out for if your ambition is to become a commercial and/or private pilot?

The biggest problem I had was more of a intuitive instinct. Normally in the sim, what do you do if you're too high, you pitch down right? It makes logical sense even in real life. The problem is what happens next; your speed increases. The correct action (unless you did want to speed up) is to use power to descend; especially on final. What this actually does is maintains your airspeed while changing your rate of descent.This ties into a big rule when on approach and landing; AIRSPEED. Many pilots, even those who have been flying for years fly the approach too fast. Slow it up to the correct airspeed and you'd be surprised how easy it is to land (with practice of course). Now mind you this primarily applies to smaller aircraft. They have less inertia and the throttle response is immediate if not very quick. Larger jets can handle a pitch to an extent because they have way more drag but by the time you're flying those, you usually enter the approach stabilized anyway.And as always; if in doubt, go around.

klick hereLook please ! Thanks

Dear PMDG Teami have found a Bug in the extern fuslage the EmergancyExitl lights over the Wings must be bigger! look:thanks best regrads

I agree with this they should bigger. plus they are more round on the PMDG 737 but are more rectangular in the real photo.

Guys,This is SUCH a small matter! Do you really want to delay the release?? You'll only ever see them once or twice and its not going to affect the way the aircraft flies... So lets just leave them the size they are ;)Regards,Tristan

Its easy to fix this It s only painting. But i have see many bugs in the exterios fuslage but i am silence OK? I want a perfect B737 NG no bugy B737Ng PMDG . I think its better one Month longer developmet and its perfect , befor you release a bugy produkt.:( best regards

I agree.! Window size is small matters,. . . ->.737 NGX is the main focus! :DRegards,

As they said the NGX was put together using Boeing blue prints. As this is a picture of a -400, maybe the NG is in fact different. Also, it's not that easy to fix. Yes they have to fix the paint but they also have to fix the model (if it were wrong to begin with) so the door opens to match the paint.

Looks fine to me, see this 737-800...(click to enlarge!)

What's your definition of "bugy"?

Of course PMDG are wrong, after all there only using blueprints for the real aircraft, from the actual manufacturer. I see no faults with the external model. Looks like a NG should.

I remember the first time i played a flight simulator on my own computer, it was FS 2004. I had this obsessive goal of completing all the lessons before i would go on to bigger planes (never did them all but most of them). I usually set these kinds of goals for myself which sometimes helps, and sometimes makes something fun become boring haha :D Anyway the Student Pilot lessons were pretty great imo, and i remember Rod Machado talking about trimming for an airspeed and using power to controll the descent rather than pitch, and you are right everything became so much easier (if you were successful at trimming which is not always so easy in a sim). But moving on to bigger and more complex airplanes such as PMDG/LDS i found that i used the autothrottle alot until very late in the final because of the limited realism of throttles, which doesnt move and make it harder to "pick up" where the autothrottles left the power, when disconnecting A/T.I guess relying alot on the A/T to control the power limits your control and prevents you from using the throttles to control pitch, you only have control of the yoke when A/T is engaged, afterall.With the, hopefully, implemented N1% indication of your outside-of-sim throttles on the NGX that might change.EDIT: with throttles (bolded) i mean the HID-throttles that you use outside of the sim, not anything inside FSX.

Emergency lights are not going to let me sleep tonight because my simulation experience won't be 100% knowing that they are smaller than in the real life.Serously some of you change of drug dealer.Geez :(

There are some throttles out there with servos for position mirroring between the sim and the external hardware, but they're nowhere near friendly in price.I would attribute the whole "flying the wing" theory to Wolfgang Langewiesche before I'd credit it to Machado. Stick and Rudder really changed how things were taught, to include Machado's own reflections. Don't get me wrong, Machado is great, and has great humor, but I really have to give the nod to Langewiesche.

If by "outside-of-sim throttles" you mean something like joystick throttles, PMDG already said that the NGX will have, or can have (don't remember very clearly) that in the N1 indicator.

Yes, thats the one i mean :D. Really hope they implement it as it would have a big effect, imo, on handflying. Right now the engine N1 might be at 70% while my throttle is at a completely different setting, making a transition less stable.Credit goes to Eric Szczesniak for coming up with the ingenious idea.
