Hi guys, don't want to submit a ticket to Ryan with this one as it's clearly something I'm doing wrong. My NGX moves very slowly forward at the gate pre-departure. I'm loading a 'warm and running' NGX to any airport gate. Imperceptible but after 10-15 mins checking charts or prepping the FMC, I'm a good 15 feet forward and about to hit the terminal wall. Yes- my engines are running but at idle and the parking brake is applied. My first guess is my engines- should not be running at this stage?

Yes, you must keep the engines OFF!!!!!!!!!!

FS bug. Hit F1 after loading into sim

Usually, the captain will taxi to the gate with both (or one) engines running. The APU will be started and set to power the busses. Or a GPU will be plugged in and will power the busses. The engines will then be shut down while de-boarding, post flight activities, cleaning, boarding, and pre flight activities will be accomplished. Then when the aircraft is being pushbacked (or once the aircraft is stopped after push back) and away from the gate, the engines will be started.

 

Perhaps you should install the chocks?

Run fsfixedpos at the same time you run FSX

+1 on Willy's suggestion. I get this with other add-on aircraft. I think my throttles do not sit completely at idol. So hitting F1 and applying the brakes sorts it out.

 

Have to say I don't get it in the NGX as I only ever go from C&D to C&D. ^_^

 

Go, try it, you don't know what you are missing.... :smile:
