Not actually important to this thread, but I wanted to say how sorry I am for those or that who will review the NGX. I've been reading some reviews here at AVSim and those guys really go deep on the product when testing it to make a review. The'll have so much to look into on the NGX... :( Imagine how long the article will be! Now, something relevant: Will the NGX need some seconds to load when you start a flight like the MD-11?

That's something I want to know too.Gabriel

thats pretty cool, thanks ryan and pmdg!

"State of last exit" would be a good choice. That is, the A/C saves the last state on FSX shutdown, and loads it as default for the next flight.

Now, something relevant: Will the NGX need some seconds to load when you start a flight like the MD-11?

Yes, that's unfortunately unavoidable - here's that section from the tutorial flight:

The NGX runs a 20 second initialization routine when it first loads into the sim. This routine first appeared in our MD-11and what the airplane is doing is setting up the simulator’s internal environment and restarting FS’s engine code in orderto better initialize the way we control the engine behavior from outside of the normal FSX framework. Our advice is tonot touch anything during this 20 second period to ensure everything is set up correctly. You may hear a quick burst ofsound when loading the airplane as the countdown starts, this is a normal quirk of the FSX sound engine when restartingthe sim’s engine code suddenly.

Ryan, just two question is it possible to set the altimeter standard to QHN? (so that we dont have to change it every time we start fs...)Will the airplane also saves data like fuel and payload state?thank you!

Yes, that's unfortunately unavoidable - here's that section from the tutorial flight:

Well, will this prevent a slight rolling-on in FSX? I eperience this every time I fire up my MD-11 in FSX, setting it to a specific gate/stand. After initialization, I need to re-position my aircraft, according to the ground-layout of the desired airport I'm on.

"State of last exit" would be a good choice. That is, the A/C saves the last state on FSX shutdown, and loads it as default for the next flight.

Yes, that was what I meant..

No, but if you saved a panel state of that situation after you shut down it will. What I'm talking about here is having it load a particular panel state each time you start a new flight - so you can load straight away at a gate and not have it come up with the engines running and stuff.

Ahh I see. That's actually great. Not that it's a big deal in the 747 after you load the airplane you just enter the top menu and load a cold'n'dark panel state, but it adds to the simulation that you don't start with engines running. It's great to start up at a gate and "simulate" that some MX crew just pulled it into the gate, and the BAT and maybe even the APU is on for instance.

Wow !!, what a great feature... Thanks for the updateWow !!, what a great feature... Thanks for the update

Yes, all of that is saved with the panel state. If you want one that always has the altimeter set for hPA just set that and save the state as "Cold & Dark (hPa)" or something. Any normal altimeter setting is "QNH" btw regardless of whether the units are metric or imperial:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNH

Hmmm...is this a clue we're really close?(...sorry guys)

well I did see on FB there is a 100% chance it will be released in the next 3 months

Excellent Thank you very much PMDG :( :(

Great news Ryan!

"State of last exit" would be a good choice. That is, the A/C saves the last state on FSX shutdown, and loads it as default for the next flight.

I disagree. A 727 I had for fs9 did this some years ago. It was a real PITA since I tend to land, taxi to the gate and exit the game. Not everyone do the proper shutdown procedure. FRED
