August 18, 201114 yr Have you ever tried to walk away from the NGX cockpit while in the VC? If not, try it. You'll find out we're actually inside a Level-D simulator room. I took some shots from the sim. Take a look: Weird, huh? I found it pretty funny, also because it is invisible from the inside. Any thoughts on why is it here? Matheus Mafra

August 18, 201114 yr The cubic part, no idea why... as for doors, wings & everything else, it's so that you can see them from the cockpit i guess... Vincent Caudron
August 18, 201114 yr Author I'd assume copyright? So the VC can't be ripped off and added to someone elses NGXGood guess. It seems like a good explanation. The cubic part, no idea why... as for doors, wings & everything else, it's so that you can see them from the cockpit i guess...About the wings, doors and stuff I know. As you said, it's there for us to see from the flight deck. I'm just wondering about the big PMDG box. Matheus Mafra
August 18, 201114 yr Also, I wonder why they took the engines off the wings... I use FSRecorder and that view is missing the engines... I guess to improve FPS...

August 18, 201114 yr This was mentioned in another thread last week IIRC and PMDG answered...it has to do with moving the camera out of the VC and the way FSX deals with that. Or something like that. Scott Burns

Because in the 737-800/900, unless you smash your face through the glass, which would depressurize the airplane and do considerable damage to your face, you really can't see the engines.

August 18, 201114 yr At least the PMDG techs have a sense of humor.

August 18, 201114 yr Have you seen the HGS tube? I don't even know if it's a tube, but there is certainly something. Know about that little "bug" when the markings on the EFIS panel disappear with the HGS extended? When you move your eyepoint, they will eventually reappear, and the "shape" how they reappear seems to reveal some geometry involved around the HGS. It seems to be transparent though and in fact for me it could only be "seen" with the ENB mod on, don't know why. It's as if you could only faintly percieve its border like a layer of refractive glass or so, very easy to miss. Quite interesting but hard to explain.
August 18, 201114 yr To realise what the cube is for you will have to "think outside the box" lol lollloyd jones.
August 18, 201114 yr To realise what the cube is for you will have to "think outside the box" lol lollloyd jones.i think that box contains NGX's own secret simulation platform. it contains its own secret PMDG platform. That box can easily move into Microsoft's Flight next year.. Antoine v Heck --- Ryzen 5800X3D, 32Gb DDR4 RAM@1600 Mhz, RTX3090 (24GB VRAM). 2TB SSD - VR with Quest 2 via link cable
August 18, 201114 yr That box is the next step in aerodynamic: Yet again humans learned from nature, this time a falling rock gave the push in the right direction ;)
