The screenshots and vids from the VC looks razorsharp.For me , and many others using a multimonitor setup with 3 monitors as one wide (cockpit)view, this is good news.There are some 737 aircraft out there that become way to unsharp when having spread the VC over 3 monitors.Did you guys already try it this way ?

13900 8 cores @ 5.5-5.8 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.3 GHz (hyperthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D4 - GSkill Ripjaws 2x 16 Gb 4266 mhz @ 3200 mhz / cas 13 -  Inno3D RTX4090 X3 iCHILL 24 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Thermaltake Level 10 GT case - EKWB Extreme 240 liquid cooling set push/pull - 2x 55’ Sony 4K tv's as front view and right view.

A double derate (sometimes also called 'Common N1') is when you alter (reduce) the engine power rating specs via the FMC, by changing the thrust rating figure keyed into the FMC (this is effectively telling the FMC how much static thrust the engines can produce at ISA), then when you've done that, you also enter an assumed temperature other than the genuine OAT, so that this also derates the thrust used on take off. Thus you have used two methods to derate the thrust on the engines, and get a 'double derate'.Derating the engines via the FMC is a capability that is there for a number of reasons other than the one above, first, so you can tell the FMC which engines are fitted, and second, so you can fit different models of CFM-56 to either side of the aircraft and then alter how much thrust they will use in order to match them into a pair that will perform in the same way. Derating the thrust is sometimes locked out from normal FMC operations on the real aeroplane, so that only engineers can do it.The 600 series NG is a 737 where the engines are permanently derated to a lower thrust setting.Al
Thanks! Made perfectly clear for me. This bird is really gonna change the entire FS Market. Can't wait

Whenever I see any video of the 737NGX, it really does take my breath away.I am very excited about this still.I am guessing that nearly all of the precise development PMDG has done, the 777 will be as good as this 737!(Yes, I'm a 777 nut and am more looking forward to that project!)

First of all, this is amazing :( just how smooth it goes really it blows my mindBig%20Grin.gif just one question here, if i start up the aircraft for the first time and i set my personal settings into the FMC will those settings be there every time i start up a new flight?Or do i have to put those settings into the FMC every time i start up the aircraft?cheers Jeffrey.

Post #102 Vin said that the NGX remembers your settings so that you don't have to load your preferences each time.

Yes, when you reload the aircraft, it remembers the way you had it set up on your previous flight. No need to customize each time you fly.
Vin, I had a problem with that function on another aircraft because my FSX crashes very often when I go into the menus (including the one appearing when pressing escape).On this other aircraft the panel state was only saved when closing FSX propably which wasn't possible due to the crashes.Is the NGX designed in a way that the panelstate will be always saved, or also just when the sim gets turned off?Please make it saving the panel state every time it gets changed because that's much better than saving it only when the sim gets propably closed!The Video looks great by the way. I'm really exited about this plane, but please don't let the exitement come up and then do nothing for quite some time as it was in the past!

Greetings from the 737 flightdeck!

Blown away. I have no other words that I can use to express what I feel after watching this video. When the PMDG logo comes up at the start of a new video I feel I should bow or salute or something!!. PMDG I salute youim%20Not%20Worthy.gifim%20Not%20Worthy.gif Pushing the boundries of whats possilbe in FSX
As Andrew did... PMDG I salute you :( :(

Sounds like the UIAutomationcore.dll bug. If you select menus sometimes it would randomy crash FSX. I used to get it but after finding a fix its no longer a problem. Go to http://www.mediafire.com/?mik2mlqdz1w and download the Uiautomationcore.dll and just drop it into the location of your FSX.

Thus you have used two methods to derate the thrust on the engines, and get a 'double derate'. It reduces engine wear and stress on the airframe, but you need a big enough runway and obstacle clearance to be able to do it safely.Derating the engines via the FMC is a capability that is there for a number of reasons other than the one above, first, so you can tell the FMC which engines are fitted, and second, so you can fit different models of CFM-56 to either side of the aircraft and then alter how much thrust they will use in order to match them into a pair that will perform in the same way. Along with some of the maintenance modes and BITE pages, derating the thrust is sometimes locked out from normal FMC operations on the real aeroplane, so that only engineers can access them.The 600 series NG is a 737 model where the engines are permanently derated to a lower thrust output.Al
Just dont confuse the two. Derate and reduced thrust are two totally different means of lower thrust output. Rules apply to each one. You also mentioned that you tell the FMC which engines are fitted. You cant do that. Its preprogrammed information in the Ident page. As for fitting different models of engine to either side, the engines are all the same. From what our maintenance guys have told me its pretty much turn the dial and now its a 24k engine, then do it again and its a 22k engine. I am sure there is a wee bit more to it then that but in lay terms thats what he said. So when a 26k engine gets tired and cant produce 26k anymore they can pull it off and slap it on a 700 series and turn the dial down to 24k. JackColwill

I dont know what to say, I just getting mucus from my mouth, :Drooling:Yes a step furtherIt's very useful to make a change from FMC while you fly. So that means we don't have to change it from a loader program outside the fsx, that makes me annoying, so this is an absolutly perfect step! I have seen enough show inside the cockpit to reassure my self. I know the pmdg team working hard all day and getting terrible nightmares :( BUTCan we see videos of the NGX from outside flying, making some beauty turns, descend or climb. landing and flying some turbulent area something like that, please?? Bring%20It%20On.gifIt takes a few minutes or maybe an hour to fix a video like that for the best team ever I've seen (I'm not phlegm, it's real as it gets Big%20Grin.gif)If this is much sought, I will respect that, no problem :Peace:Anyway thanks

Even because it would be a huge headache to run through dozens of menu pages to reconfigure the aircrfat every single time we decided to do a flight Big%20Grin.gif.I'm already seeing that my first flight will require some manuals by my side, especially the one explaining the menu options.
