Hello just wanted to know why wasn't a GPS installed when you have brought the PMDG 737 NGX? Not much of a fan of the CDU-FMC rather use the GPS so anyone can help with this problem of mine would be much appriceated....Romeo

Romeo, wrong forum. You should have posted this here: http://forum.avsim.net/forum/432-pmdg-737ngx/

 

To answer your question, the NGX has no GPS. Learning the FMC is easy, just read the included tutorials.

It's easy to install. I installed one in mine just to see where I am. I dont use it for navigation purposes.

If you want the panel.cfg entries let me know.

Sorry m8 this site can be a little confusing & thanks...... :P

Add this to your window title section, Change the bold xx's to the next consecutive number. Make sure they are the same. These go in your panel.cfg file. Backup whatever files you are going to modify first!!

 

 

Windowxx=GPS

 

Add this as the next window entry.

 

//--------------------------------------------------------

Background_color=0,0,0

Over to the PMDG forum you go!

Just curious, if your not a fan of the CDU-FMC why would you buy a aircraft like the PMDG NGX and not some lite version of the NG that isn't so serious about simulating the aircraft to such a high degree?

 

If you would like help on the CDU just ask and there are plenty of people willing to help, also try the tutorials.

The same reason you would buy a Ferrari, then replace the dashboard with that from a Mini Cooper S??

BTW, of course the 737 has a GPS (i think even 2) and it is even much more sophisticated than the default FSX-"Garminish" one. However, it looks very different and the operation is different, so learn how to use it (2 awesome tutorials to help you) and you will be more than happy - i promise

Sorry, but that was a really bad analogy. :lol:

Yeah I kind of think that would be buying a Ferrari and "it goes too fast, can I get a two liter diesel in it?" :)

 

Anyway this is a different kind of airplane, as has been told. You have to operate it as a real pilot would - there is no way to link up a Garmin to 737NGs autopilot.

Ok, trying really hard to not say anything.... :lol:

lol just remember he's supporting an excellent FSX addon developer, so he can fly it how he likes and learn at his own pace.. Better to buy stuff from PMDG and support them than to put his money into developers that give no support back..

 

He will become addicted like everyone else and he will be watching for correct tire tread patterns and rivett counts soon enough :)

Hehe, you're probably right!

This fella has two terrific video tutorials on using the FMC. Be up and running in less time it takes to try and get the Garmin going.
