February 19, 201214 yr Hi Robert and the gang,I have finally bought the 737NGX and it is brilliant. In particular I just wanted to say a big thankyou for someone FINALLY producing a plane for FSX that trims properly!It is the first flightsim plane I have flown (since around 1991!) that handles in pitch with anything like the stability, and accuracy of trimming, that I have experienced in my (admittedly limited to GA) real world flying. This makes it a joy to handfly (which I do for all approaches).Again, great job and thanks.Richard Shumack
February 19, 201214 yr Get the 600/700 expansion pack as well. It's great. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
February 20, 201214 yr Taxi it around a little bit too and you won't feel disappointed either! Ken EhlersF70
February 20, 201214 yr Commercial Member Yeah, +1. Also if you have a 3D monitor (like me) you will just enjoy it that much more. It feels like I can reach out and push buttons, just speechless.
February 20, 201214 yr +1. I agree, just combine it with a good yoke, some rudder pedals and TrackIR, and you're just one tiny step below having a Level D sim. Thanks, Kevin L
February 20, 201214 yr Commercial Member You're welcome Richard - trim was a big thing we focused on in the development. Way too many FS aircraft have super fast and oversensitive trim and it makes it almost impossible to handfly.

February 20, 201214 yr Author No worries Ryan!And yes Kevin, the yoke helps too (mine's an old CH Yoke that still does the job).Diego, maybe I'll get the expansion pack in the future. In the meantime I'll try to perfect the -800 with some circuits at YMAV @ 1500' (as per some QF training material I got my hands on)...Richard Shumack

February 20, 201214 yr Yeah, +1. Also if you have a 3D monitor (like me) you will just enjoy it that much more. It feels like I can reach out and push buttons, just speechless.Is 3D worth the money? Sorry for hijacking this post :(
February 21, 201214 yr Commercial Member If I got a 3D monitor it would be for the 120Hz support without 3D on... basically eliminates tearing with Vsync off unless you can get above 120FPS. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
February 21, 201214 yr Yeah, +1. Also if you have a 3D monitor (like me) you will just enjoy it that much more. It feels like I can reach out and push buttons, just speechless.Thanks for reminding me, just tried it myself. The 3D effects are more impressive in the NGX (I'm using Nvidia 3DVision) than I remeber for other FSX aircraft. I think this is a happy result of precision graphic design translating into good 3D results.-Roland F.
February 21, 201214 yr Kelvin,Just completed a flight in 3D and it was very cool. I think the excellent 3D effects with the panel actually aids my perspective of the outside environment, have you noticed that?Performance wise I'm not seeing much impact on framerate using 3DVision. What is really interesting to me is the GPU utilization I'm getting. I have two 480(s) in SLI, which I normally drop out of SLI when running FSX.I've experimented with SLI however (to spread the anti-aliasing load) and could never get GPU utilization above fourty percent, so it never seemed worth the trouble. With 3D enabled, GPU utilization stays near eighty percrent. All this time I've tried to make the GPU do more work in FSX and forgot about trying 3D.-Roland F.

February 22, 201214 yr Commercial Member Yeah, I get the 3d perspective, it's great. And depending on what monitor you use it may have it's own 3d driver ie LG has tridef driver which may be programmed to load balance for SLI.
