August 5, 201114 yr Thank you PMDG! I was lucky enough to be one of the first to download the NGX last night when they went live. I installed the program with no issues at all and fired up FSX use ASE for a flight from KLIT to KDFW. I have dreamteam's KDFW addon installed. Without reading any of the manuals or even the intro package, I was able to start (from cold & dark) the NGX and fly the route (LIT.BYP w/ RWY 17C approach). The interface is very intuitive. The only thing for which I spent any significant time searching was releasing the wheel chocks. I used the HUGS for the approach and what an asset it is! I'm running an i7 920 overclocked to 3.8 GHz on a Gigabyte motherboard with a nVidia GTX 265 OC video card. I experienced no stuttering at all and was able to maintain 16 - 25 fps. I know I will be spending many hours on VATSIM flying this new machine, and I can't wait to delve deep into her systems for a wonderful simulation experience. Thank you!

Billy WorkmanI flew the exact same flight, except my ch pedal brakes arent working and my first flight ended in an overrun! I'm still trying to fix the brake problem today. I haven't left the ground yet. Chris Hicks
