Hello guys I'm just curious to what your experiences with ngx are like e.g. Fps, controll quality heavy addon scenery with ngx, does this cause slow downs for you, is it very hard on the system? Please could you state your specs.

 

Many thanks bill… have a great day

With a powerful Sandy-bridge or Ivy-bridge setup the NGX is wonderful addition to your FS setup. The aircraft is somewhat taxing to your system, but with some simple adjustments in the PMDG performance manager, the end user is given the ability to adjust settings to reduce load on your system. With a few days of learning the flows etc, you will have the aircraft under control and you will love it!

 

I would highly recommend the NGX to anyone who enjoys an unbelievably realistic and immersive simulation.

I don't find it too taxing on my system, but your mileage may vary. I highly recommend it--along with FS2Crew. The two together make the experience as realistic as it can be.

I run the NGX on a dual core processor and average between 26 - 30 fps. Runs very smooth. I also run ASE, PFE, GSX and FS2Crew with it and no problems.

I do well with my system (under my profile as per the new AVSIM rules). NGX is the bomb, you gotta have it...

That pretty much sums it up.

As you can see, my system is pretty unspectacular yet I can run the NGX fairly well.

 

I use Active Sky 2012 with Flight Environment graphics, Ultimate Terrain X Europe, FS Global Ultimate and MyTraffic Lite. I tend to fly from larger airports, some with payware scenery - mostly UK2000 British airports and a few Aerosoft European hubs (but not Schipol, which is very hard on frames!).

 

Crucially, I have a set of saved display settings in FSX just for running this particular aircraft - no autogen (but very dense scenery complexity so the airports look good), no cars or ships, airliner only traffic at 20 - 50% and water effects Mid 1.x. I also have an unlimited target frame rate.

 

With this, I get about 16 to 18 fps in the cockpit, and at least double that outside. The UK2000 airports are best for frames, and with these you can also remove AI traffic completely and just use the static aircraft supplied as part of the scenery. These don't actually look too bad when you're concentrating on flying you're own aircraft.

 

I think if you're prepared to ditch autogen and AI traffic, and tinker with the other settings, you can get a very smooth experience flying the NGX. It's basically all I fly these days...

 

Hope that helps you a bit.

Hi many thanks for posting its very interesting on what hardware you can run it on no matter what system it is anything above 15 fps with ngx is very good. My experience with the ngx is Rex, utx, ut2 60-70% , 737 ngx , all sliders on max and hitting 20-23 fps on the ground with uk2000 Manchester and locked 30 fps when climbing, I'm very proud with these results.

 

Many thanks bill… have a great day friends

it does very well on my system. Especially at KJFK & KORD (FsDreamTeam).

 

I agree with "Altstiff", you gotta have it.
