Not familiar with the 737 types. So a question:Are these 737's able to fly VOR Radials/Courses?Asking because the Queen needs special programming in the FMC, while the MD11 has this VOR TRACK feature build into the FMS, but does not perform correctly.Anyway I will buy the 737NGX. when it is released, to find an answer to my question.Regards,Harry
How is it not performed correctly in the MD11? It works correctly for me. Also for the 737, its going to be easier than it's older cousin the 744 as you don't need to do any special programming. Just tune the navaid on the radio panel and select the radial with the CRS knob. If you want, use VORLOC on the MCP to have the Autopilot fly the radial.

People are always pushing for a release date, and I've been guilty of that myself. When you think about it though, PMDG is developing toward a broader base of customers than most developers. I believe they develop first toward their own simulation standards; then to Boeing who has been cooperative in providing data for development; and finally to the individual consumers. I'm just speculating here, but that mindset would bring out the perfectionist approach that we're accustomed to seeing. That's all good! So I see delays differently now, understanding that maybe they're looking to impress Boeing, and not just us. :(

I'm just hoping that the Aussie dollar will still be at parity with the USD when it is release :)

I will bring the idea up with the team. Congratulations by the way - I watched the TV coverage of it all day today. Hosni Mubarak took power the day I was born - Oct 6 1981, when Sadat was killed. That event is something I've known about since I was a small boy.
Thank you Ryan, Really appreciate it and same here I was only 10 years old when he took power, it was a nightmare and ended in a beautiful dream, Thanks
Great idea, and best wishes for your Country Alaa, I wish your nation every success for the future!
Thank you Sir for your kind words and same to you .
As a Marley-ite i love to see a modern day revolution,, I hope Egypt leads the way in the people overthrowing currupt autocratic systems across the world,I hope a decent democracy is established, this really is a Goldern oppurtunity!
The intensity and adrenalin rush was unbelievable, I have to say to fight hard for your rights and get at the end is the best feeling in the whole world, you can’t imagine J thank you for your nice words.

Congratulations to the Egyptian people. Only tonight I discovered that Hosni Mubarak resigned. Your determination has inspired many other countries to fight against oppression. I really hope that now the Middle East can walk together toward freedom and peace. The NGX isn't out yet and you are already draming of a disaster?! That's not a good start for a plane in test phase, is it? LOL.gif
Thank you Sir, the price was enormous, freedom always comes with pain, but I guess this happened in the past for all free countries in the world today, as you said I hope now everything goes right and hopefully we will enjoy FREEDOM.

I think it is all the men and women in Egypt who stayed so determined that are setting the example. There are a lot of lessons to be learned here for all of us, especially when it comes to our complacency.

Hello PMDG,I just have a special request, I am kindly asking you to add EGYPTAIR livery for the coming NGX, with the words “Dawn of Freedom in Egypt 2011” or something, on the exterior, celebrating the revolution and freedom we have just achieved and won, it will be interesting and will be touching people at the FSX community.Only a suggestion JThank you Alaa Riad
When the plane and paintkits are released, If PMDG hasn't been able to do this, I will be more than willing to see what I can come up with. Congrats to you and your country. May the "Dawn of freedom" be never forgotten for your people.

I am speechless, thank you TMoney I am really appreciating your kind words and promise :)

Yes you are right and also a lesson for all dictators who thinks they can suppress and lie to their people, Thank you Sir

Ryan,Good to see that it works for you.....Just asking here, because of this thread:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/320849-md-11-vor-course-on-nd/Wonder how the upcoming NGX will do the VOR tracking AND how the ND will look, when that same course is entered in the FIX page.Regards,Harry

Hi will there be a option 2 make the plane look brand new like it was just delivered and dirty like it has been in service for a long time. When i say brand new i mean no dirt or grease and when i say dirty i mean a lot of dirt and grease.Thanks.

I may be jumping ahead a little bit but I know that the 777 has the ability to display charts like Approach Plates. Will you guys be able to display these charts within FSX?

I'm just hoping that the Aussie dollar will still be at parity with the USD when it is release :)
Try living in New Zealand with the exchange rates :(

The 777, as well as the newer versions of the 737, 747-8 and the 787 shows charts in the Eletronic Flight Bag, or simply EFB. There's one for each pilot. The EFB is part of the "paperless cockpit", since it eliminates the need of carrying a lot of navigation charts and performance charts as well, also because the EFB is able to do all the needed performance calculations as well as the FMC. Also, there isn't the need of carrying checklists too because now these planes have eletronic checklists made via one of the EICAS screens.Electronic_Flight_Bag.jpg
Will you guys be able to display these charts within FSX?
Probably not because they would have to build a HUGE database of charts even only from the major airports in the world and probably we would have to pay a lot more for the plane with all the charts or we'd have to buy them separately. That's because I assume that PMDG would have to buy them and probably resolve some copyright issues before being able to legally distribute these charts within the sim.
