Noah- i just downloaded your app for my iphone, and want to tell you i think its great! File sharing, and the PMDG checklists are pretty cool. Finally i can put the AOM, QRH And FCOM pdfs in my iphone.Thanks mate!

Hi,Like Mike said an iPad or any other tablet PC makes flying more comfortable. I plan my routes and the needed fuel before my flight. Than I open the checklists and charts. On a long trip I browse in the internet on my iPad. Best regardsJonathan

Why ??? You have a computer with a (comparitively) monstrously big screen, why would you choose to surf the net on your ipad while sitting in front of the beastbox watching it do nothing much for several hours ?Genuinely curious ...Gary

got myself a cheap second monitor for charts + EFB. Really helps alot especialy as its a low energy monitor (max 18w for a 21inch) so i dont feel so bad about leaving in on during flights.

Hi Gary,Thats a good question. One of the reasons for using my iPad to browse in the internet is that FSX doesn't likes it when I change into the window mode. Somtimes there is no problem and somtimes the FSX crash. Also I prefere browsing on an iPad instead on a PC. Don't ask my why, at least it is more comfortable for me. Normaly I play or browse 10 or 20 minutes then I look back on my computer screen to see what the plane is doing now. Later I grab my iPad again to look at the charts of the destination airport. I open them in iBooks and when I need them they are only some 'clicks' away.A second screen would be an other possibility, but unfortunately I dont have one. :wink:Best regards Jonathan

If memory serves, then you are (or were) part of the team who gave us the beautiful King Air B200 for fs9?

Wijnand,Yes, I am that guy. To be fair, all I did there was test, as well. I will say this: Testing was a LOT easier on the B200. Fewer systems to learn!The NGX is going to challenge a lot of assumptions and change the way people sim, in a good way!

I've recently unchecked the option "pause on task switch" under the general settings tab in FSX. Now I just Alt-Tab out when I'm too lazy to use my laptop's touch pad. Just FYI as I had forgotten about this option until recently.

Wonderful, thanks!

Wonderful, thanks!

Don't suppose there is any chance of an Android version :( In terms of the NGX. i really like the idea of little problems that are not catastrophic failure but small problems because i might have neglected an item on the checklist. This should force me to concentrate on every single flight.

Not right now, but if there were an Android version, it would be a tablet version. The Android tabs still haven't even gotten close to popular enough to justify the time to develop a whole new version for such a niche market.

no bother Noah, thanks for taking the time to reply

Flew from KLAS to KSAN this afternoon. We started from the executive terminal, sitting with the forward passenger door open for some time while I set up the FMC. We had ground power, ground air, and a ground air conditioning unit hooked up, but the door open on a scorching day in Las Vegas made it just plain hot in the forward part of the aircraft. We don't usually think of stuff like that in the sim.

Soooo... If we were stopped at KLAS, parked on stand/at the gate, door open, on an average tunr-around time, lets say no less than 30 minutes but no more than 45, how would we be able to stop the duct overheat? Even with the ground air conditioning unit hooked up? Would we have to close the door, even when the aircraft is boarding.. What do we have to do when we get the NGX flying in these conditions? Just generally wondering :)Thanks,
