Thanks Apollo. It's quite a big undertaking because, I think, with a product the quality of PMDG you are quite literally teaching yourself to fly a modern day jetliner. I guess it's one of those questions asked a lot but do any of you think if you clocked up enough hours and a thorough understanding of every system you'd be (capable, not proficient) at using the jet in the real world? Provided you had suitably inherent ability and nerves didn't get to you.... What do you fly in real life by the way?

Hi Luke -- yes, I agree, that learning the NGX is very much like learning the "real thing". And it remains my opinion that with FLIGHT coming from MS, that the add-ons are going to get more real and more detailed once we can really put our full computing power to work. But it is all something to enjoy and the learning, for me, is half of the fun Well, I slowed way down on my flying when I decided to raise a family, build a home, and college-educate my kids. But back in the days before that, I logged over 1K hours in small planes up through the Beech Duke class with one of my favorites being the Cessna Skymaster for just plain fun flying and a good cost (back then, not now). Never a commercial pilot -- it was always just fun and sport and I have always loved aircraft from radio-controlled through the real thing Hey, good luck with the learning process. I do recommend the two volumes of the Flight Crew Ops Manual. I went crazy and bought the pair which I am really enjoying working my way through. But you get them "free" with the plane in pdf format. Happy Flying ---

Hey all, Thanks for the help you've provided me with thus far. I have come from DCS A10 which is another highly complex flight simulator, however it only has a 760 page manual. My problem is, I'm not sure how to learn this jet. The manuals (other than tutorial one) seem to assume you've got some level of training already. Is there anything (other than the AOA training which isn't released yet ) Which can teach me things like... How to start the jet (including diagrams and an explanation of why youre doing things) or does that simply not exist? As it is, the manuals are absolutely great but there seems to be a "midway" point which is the point between knowing the basics of flight sims and diving into the deep stuff which the manual does not cater for. Is it simply that this is too early in the birds life? Thanks :)

If you know any RW 737 pilots, talk to them nicely and they might give you a copy of their Boeing 737NG CBT !!! You will never need to look at a book again.

Ughh. Boeing CBT. Shoot me now.

I wish I did, unfortunately they're all Airbus pilots...Flying them is pretty much a sim in itself :D
