Hey guys,Just wondering if PMDG have any plans to include some little extras for the virtual cockpit, like charts attached to the clip boards next to the Captain and F/O seats, papers tucked into the pocket above the MCP or pens in the holders on the captain's window pillar; just eye candy to make the aircraft look more active.Cheers,

No, sorry - we used up almost all of the available texture and animation space doing it the way it is...

I can't imagine that stuff would add much value. It always bothered me to see charts in the virtual cockpit. It's a neat novelty until you realize that every time you fly, regardless of where you're going, you have the exact same approach plate sitting on your clipboard.

After making a lot of jumpseats in 737s, I observed that NGX windshield are too big compared to real NG. Also they are making a V shape that is not the same in real life. That's too bad cause your addon is wonderful and you just need to correct some small details. I hope you can do something for the windshield size included in the SP2

What about some kind of thing attached to the yoke and you can open PDFs (charts), and get them on your yoke, that would be really usefull.

The view from the jumpseat vs. the view from the seats up front is quite different. Sorry to say, but PMDG have got this exactly right.

My thoughts exatly.

I don't see it.

They look just right to me. Plus I believe PMDG used Boeing blueprints, so they should be right on.

I'd like to see a clean NGX... Hahaha!

I agree - always thought that was silly having a chart from the dev's home airport always on the window and stuff in other addons.

This type of thing has been said before, but I'll say it again:1. We used the exact measurements from the blueprints, checked against the real airplane. We didn't just eyeball this.2. Perspective and shapes ALWAYS get distorted when you're projecting 3D geometry onto a 2D surface. There is no way around this - you're not seeing a real 737, you're seeing a 2D computer monitor - you do not have peripheral vision and you do not have 3 actual dimensions. There's always distortion when you do that.

Forget about it Just Fly man, Fly.

OK thanks for the replies people! :)

Thank you very much Ryan, I'm in love with the NGX :)
