June 6, 201114 yr Thank you for the update Mr. RandazzoI will be looking forward to the video! Man you guys at PMDG are doing an incredieable job with the NGX, this bird is for sure gonna be the most realistic A/C for ever made.. You guys at PMDG are way ahead of any competitors!Hopefully you know that there are many people waiting for the NGX, who don't give a **** about release dates etc... We will wait for the masterpiece to be finished, and we will be ready with our credit cards the day the NGX is released... So don't let all the negative post about release dates and promises not being held affect your mood... You are doing an amazing job with this aircraft, keep up the good work, and we will be there the day this beuty releases"!Thanks again for doing this bird Anders Weber ATPL(A) Student EKBI - Billund, Denmark
June 6, 201114 yr The one thing that concerns me is when he states that the aerodynamic forces of the 800 are nearly perfectly simulated on the NGX. Ok, what about the 600, 700 & 900? His verbiage leads me too believe all this recent vnav work has only been for the 800. He only refers to how the 800 performs..... Eric
June 6, 201114 yr :( :( :( Thank you really much Robert. It looks like it will be perfect.B) B) regards, Alexander Marx
June 6, 201114 yr Again and as always PMDG is keeping us updated on the progress of this revolutionary product. Skipper Robert keeping on marching and I appreciate the updates and I am looking forward to the video. Richard Spencer Churchill PVT SEL GYSGT USMC (ret)
June 6, 201114 yr (Also, Boeing and your airline don't want you touching them, but you've probably see this in your SOP writing.)I've been spending a bunch of time in the QRH lately- and I don't recall seeing a single procedure asking you to monkey with a CB...Hi Robert,While I fully agree with PMDG's decision not to include the C/Bs I wanted to add the following info just for the sake of completeness... :( Boeing instructs the crew to pull or reset circuit breakers in some non-normal checklists like the loss of both engine driven generators, landing gear lever will not move up, the partial/all gear up landing and the ditching non-normal checklist.Regards,Sylvain Coolsaet Download my repaints at AVSIM.

June 6, 201114 yr Thanks for the update, Robert. I'll make sure that my friends at VPA read this.Now, back to Portuguese class. :( :( Matheus Mafra
June 6, 201114 yr Fantastic news I'm waiting with all patience!!!Patience will be rewarded with perfect working 737 NGX :( Volkan
June 6, 201114 yr RSR quoted: " the aerodynamic forces of the 800 are nearly perfectly simulated on the NGX." I assume from that being said that the 800NGX will exhibit the actual stall characteristics of the 800 NG. Is that correct? :( Regards,jen noulet
June 6, 201114 yr The hydraulic Electric Motor Driven Pump (EMDP) consumes a WHOPPING 7.824 amps of energy while running. But, if the same-side engine driven pump (EDP) fails or is shut down, the EMDP is left carrying a much greater workload to keep the associated hydraulic system running, so the energy consumption increases by 4.3amps to a grand total of 12.124 amps!This is a stunning amount of electrical consumption- and if you are watching the amperage load on the electrical meter, you will see this change take place just as it does on the airplane.That's simply amazing.I wish I had such a sophisticated PC-based simulator at home when I was doing my training long, long time ago! :biggrin:Kudos to you Robert and to your team. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
June 6, 201114 yr Im sure that when the NGX releases the team will make enough money to go to a relaxing paradise island like I am this summer. Thats what the team deserves and trust me, the profits from this add on will be massive and own leman brothers and their horrible profits they made in the past Joe Barton
June 6, 201114 yr Sounds awsome. Can't wait to get my manuals and start studying.Thank-you (in no order of importance!) Robert, Vin, Ryan, Jason, Dr. Vaos, Alex and anyone else who I'm forgetting ( sorry!) for giving life to what will clearly be the standout release in PC Flight sim history.I think I can see the approach lights through the fog!
June 6, 201114 yr Thank you for this amazing update.Makes the waiting much more pleasant to know the details and the amount of work put in this all ! Greets,Xander
June 6, 201114 yr Hello everyone and PMDG team I am new here I have been reading this forum for sometime and now I think I should join the party as we are getting closer to the release !I would first like to thank you PMDG for developing and putting so much effort, detail and time on my (and others) favourite aircraft; Boeing 737NG.The truth is, with so much detail and complexity that you are adding into this aircraft, realistically (if you compare with adobe products, autodesk products etc etc) this product should technically be worth at least $2,500 and by being so close to realism (and BOEING APPROVED!) it should technically be used only for pilots who are taking that type rating. Yet, that is not the case at all. This surprises me and im so glad it is not the case. (Maybe PMDG does secretly work with airlines and provides this add-on software to there pilots) doesn’t matter anyway, as PMDG is providing to us FS enthusiasts such products with very good prices and amazing complexity.(Please bare in mind that I am not bringing the topic of prices, I’m just suggesting on how much this product is worth in the market nowadays compared to other software companies)Now I have two questions:1- how complex is this add-on compared to the real thing? in a scale 1-10? in other words: If i was to fully learn everything about this aircraft, instruments and its procedures could I make a successful flight? Yes i know i would have to know how to fly the plane in the first place, lets assume i got that skill :( (sorry i don’t know exactly how to word this example)2- Could you recommend a pilot who is currently taking a type rating for this aircraft to use your flight simulator add-on? In other words: can this product ever be airline approved for teaching there pilots?Thank you in advance for your replies. And again thank you so much for developing such an aircraft. My only concern is when I have this aircraft in my possession, I will think I will be flying a glass plane, any mistake and it brakes!:( Wilson Goncalves
June 6, 201114 yr Great to hear.I am curious Robert (or anyone involved), what is Boeings response when you guys strive for so much accuracy and detail? I'm sure Boeing have had quite a lot of dev teams work with them (to whatever extent)over the years. I know with other simulation I take interest in some developers really strive the detail and usually the manufacturers are quite taken aback by it all to the point where they sometimes use it for their own marketing reasons.
