This is more a wish but i think is feasible, most of us know fs-recorder, you can save your flight and then load back to record for video.The problem is you can't record in depth all instrument guage, hydraulic swithc, light etc. of 3rd party aircraft.With the complexity of the NGX and the upcoming sdk I was thinking that we can record a flight from Cold and dark to parking barke and then let other load it to check for training or just to get some help for wrong procedure from the Pilot in command.No more cheat and we can send the file to everyone just to get some help in particular procedure.I think there is an uge diffrence from video training and you can seve also the meteo so you got pretty much the same picture for everyone.Let's hope that can be accomplish.PS it can be intresting as we can simulate famous accident on aviation history.

To me it sounds a good idea, above all for us or PMDG when troubleshooting issues.

As a pilot you would not be allowed to use the blackbox anyway. The Box would be sent to the NTSB in Washington and you could expect info and data in about a year.Actually I hope after SP2, Military and ER Packages come out that their focus is shifted away from the NGX and full time to the upcoming 777.

As someone who provides tech support for a FS addon I would love it if I could get a black box style data dump of all the random button pushes and weird modes some users get themselves into.I can't count the number of times I have spent hours helping someone with what they think is a fault only to find they are loading the aircraft above MTOW, departing with the FD off and wondering why the FMA looks weird, applying full manual rudder in turns etc etc..

This is a very reasonable and valid point especially if you want to help people that are new to an aircraft of the complexity of the NGX...It could also make sense in bug tracking for developers "hint" themselves.There is this MD-80 that has what i would think is a simplified version of an FDR but nothing you could see the position of every switch and the such in.BestHolger Kneib

Not really the blackbox, but FOQA or as it is called. The thing that is usually used for monitoring flights within airline.

The Maddog does indeed have a digital flight data recorder (of course it has, its the Maddog :()

BLACK BOX .. Interesing idea for an ADDON !!A BLACKBOX should be something that a 3rd party developer, could quite easily produced, once the SDK is released.
