July 2, 201114 yr Hifolks,Long time lurker, who just took the plunge and registered. Wanted to say hello,and start out with a joke - Since the question hasn't been asked recently,figured I'd kick it off, when will the NGX be available??!! Seriously, a bit about myself - I am currently a First Officer for a major USbased airline flying the 737NG, and certainly this add-on has got me intriguedto say the least... In fact, I just got done building a new sim platform to runFSX so I can put the PMDG product through its paces. Between trips and familyobligations, I'd be happy to answer any real-world questions that might come upon the 737NG.

July 2, 201114 yr Hey Greg,Welcome to these parts. Right now I don't have to many questions for you butthat's certain to change when we have the 737NGX in our hands. Like someone saidwe'd love to know ultimately what you real 737NG drivers think of the software! Kirk Mayers
July 2, 201114 yr Greg,Welcome to the forums (good luck )Anyway, thank you for offering up your assistance. I do actually have a question right now that I guess could have been asked to any RW pilot but... When you are at cruise, what is it that you actually do? I can't imagine that you just run through abnormal procedures throughout the whole flight! Do you chat with the captain, sleep, dance, make fun of other pilots that are on freq? Thanks! Best regards, happy flying, Wallace

July 2, 201114 yr @ 737 guy : Does the VNAV lead the descent to a constant rate or it varies ? Let's say from FL340 f.i. to glide altitude or viceversaIf that's a constant rate, which is, please, the average V/S of both climbing and descending using VNAV ? ( Average wind,average load etc... ) Thanks a lot in advanceP.S. Which is the average descent rate over cute hostesses ? Is drag frequently required ? -
