Hi,

 

I'm currently doing some research on building a cockpit for the NGX. My question here is around the software that will power the flight displays on the MIP.

 

I know we can undock the flight displays on the NGX, but this is a little limiting as some of the displays will be powered by other computers. So, I was thinking of using Orion 737NG DU.

 

I've done some testing with the demo version of Orion, and I have found that there are several issues. As Orion is script driven, I'm sure these issues can be worked out, but it will take some time. I also wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask the question here.

 

Has anyone been able to configure or find a published script that can be used with Orion and the NGX?

 

If not, I think it's going to be tricky, as PMDG doesn't publish internal variables and I've not seen this values on the SDK for the NGX

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Very interesting topic.

I have just ordered the hardware to start building the mip so in a few months i will require this info to i guess :Idea:

 

But why would you want to use orion? as far as i have researched sofar the screens can be undocked and moved to another display or, by using wideview, even to another pc.

 

Would't that serve your goal?

I have think about that too.

 

But i dont think that PMDG NGX works well with Wideview.

 

The CP Flight Modules works very fine with NGX. I Think ill work only with PC Flight

Why do you think ngx does not support wideview?

I have not found any thread saying so.

 

Wideview is pretty integrated into fsuipc and fsx probably even doesn't know wideview is running so i do not really see the problem

 

But i will have to test it myself later when i am ready to test this specific setup.

I want to Use 1 PC not 4....Yesterday i bought a ATI HD5870. I can use 6 Monitor @ FSX iam HAPPY.
