I am flying a SWA 737-700 on a KLAS to KRDU sector and in initial climb I got the OVHT/DET light illuminated. After 10 minutes or so of putting my printed manuals to good use I discovered the cause of my problem was a fault in the APU fire detection system. According to the QRH I can no longer run my APU. I don't know what caused this problem, I'm doubtful it's a Service based failure as this is the first flight I have conducted in this repaint. (Chris Hicks Fabtastic New Mexico One). And also the failure menu states there is no active failures.

 

Another Idea I had was that this may be one of those quirks that were implemented into the sim. Or it could be user error (doubtful. Never seen this before and I bought the Ngx on release day)

 

Or it could just be a bug

 

 

What ever it is. Along with FS2crew and ASE weather I feel like I am really flying the line and experienceing little annoyances along the way.

 

The Ngx is a fantastic simulation and I look forward to all the future PMDG products.

 

This is most likely a service-based failure, or a random bug. Although, the service-based failures option isn't located in the failures menu.

AFAIK the NGX saves aircraft usage data per aircraft type, not individual liveries or tail numbers. So it probably was a service based failure.

I'm pretty sure it's saves the usage per tail #. Look in your PMDG/PMDG 737 NGX/Aircraft folder and at the bottom of each .ini file, you will see the time counters for each system. However, that's not to say that the O/P didn't experience a failure. It would be very unlikely, much like winning the lottery I guess, but it is possible.

Alright,

 

haven't touched FSX or the NGX in a while.
