So for the first time I will be able to fly the PMDG 737NGX. I'm pretty excited so I wanted to ask if there are any recommended tutorials anyone could recommend that I should watch to learn the aircraft.

Congrats on the new system.

 

The NGX comes with two extensive tutorials (along with all the rest of the documention) which are very very good and highly recommended for new users, also you can search youtube as there is a lot of videos on the NGX and how to fly it.

Hi,

 

I found FSXpilot767's tutorials good. He goes over all parts of a flight.

Make sure to turn the quality up and full screen!

 

I hope you enjoy your first flight in the NGX
