March 31, 201115 yr Ok, so it's fairly regular for me to have to re-install my FSX on my PC, and when I do so obviously I reinstall all my add-ons including my PMDG add-ons...With the NGX coming out soon, we've heard alot about how the failure system was linked in with the airframe hours logged (or at least this was hinted at), so when we do a reibnstall of the NGX will there be a way of imputting how many hours have been previously logged before the reinstall, perhaps via the FMS orthrough the "Failure Options" menu as I really don't want to have my hours hit mabey about 80 and then drop right back down to zero...:blink:Just a thought though because I really would like to experience this however the liklyhood is, that it won't happen unless this is implimented...The bird looks great and I wish you well with the final stages of developmentThanks,Rónán.

March 31, 201115 yr Good point! I'm interested in this as well. I think Ryan (maybe Robert) said that there would be a thread that is dedicated as a preview of the failure system. I hope this still stands, because this system seems to be the most advanced that we have (not) ever seen!Exciting times! Hopefully these forums will come back from the dead now. I remember a couple of months ago, there was a competition of sorts where someone would ask a question or post a picture about the NG, and then people would try to come up with the correct answer. This was fun to watch, as well as informative. The forum has been kind of dead the past couple of months however with the exeption of the externalities thread and hardware discussions.

March 31, 201115 yr when we do a reibnstall of the NGX will there be a way of imputting how many hours have been previously logged before the reinstall, This could be very easily accomplished by preserving an old file with the failures data and simply reusing this file when you uninstall and reinstall. It would not have been very smart to use FMS for this purpose. Michael J.

It would not have been very smart to use FMS for this purpose.No, the FMS doesn't seem like the best option, but the "Failure Menu" in the PMDG options section of the inflight menu would work well, instead of having to save files or parts of the CFG... Customer friendly like Rónán O Cadhain.
March 31, 201115 yr but the "Failure Menu" in the PMDG options section Menu is just a user interface, it is just a software, it has nothing to do with preserving the data. The data must be stored somewhere and since the dawn of computer age files have been used for data storage. Michael J.

Customer friendly like The NGX has no menus - it does not use the old PMDG Options or any of the other dll based stuff.

The data must be stored somewhere and since the dawn of computer age files are used for data storage.You must have misunderstood me... You input the data from the previous airfame from your memory into the failure menu... or perhaps if you wanted you could set it to a later data to simulate more frequent failures... Rónán O Cadhain.
March 31, 201115 yr The NGX has no menus - it does not use the old PMDG Options or any of the other dll based stuff.um...wow that is a big deal. that sounds awesome. The potential to never having to go to an FS menu to set things up.Richard Glatter
March 31, 201115 yr Author Oops, Posted that a bit late... :( But for simplicity's sake the option to imput the data through a user friendly interface, it would be appreciated... Rónán O Cadhain.
April 1, 201115 yr A variation on that option would allow pilots to tell FSX that the airframe they are checking out is a tired old one well past its maintenance window as opposed to one fresh out of the shop. Much more realistic then the current way of requesting X failures per hundred hours etc. Paul Smith.
April 1, 201115 yr Yes, Accusim have nailed this failure system so something similar would be awesome with the NGX Gavin Price
April 1, 201115 yr Leonardo has something similar with their MD82 as well, with INOPs staying from flight to flight, unless you clear them of course
April 1, 201115 yr For that we would need a MEL. Can Anyone with the documents tell me if ones in there?
