Hey there. I just purchased the NGX package for FSX and let me say that I am quite pleased. Hands down the best add-on package for FS IMHO. Anyways, my question is, is there suppose to be a "PMDG" drop down menu in the main ALT menu bar? Normally there is one for other add-ons and would allow you to do stuff like change the panel state to cold and dark or add ground connections (which I know you can add the trucks from the FMC) and other things but I notice now that there is no PMDG menu in the ALT menu bar. Is this normal or is there something wrong? Thanks, Nick.

No

Pmdg supplies an performance manager and the rest is done in the fmc pmdg menu, as you go

This is quite normal, no need to worry at all. Most of this is covered in the NGX introduction PDF provided with the aircraft, I have put the relevant information here for your convinience.

 

All aircraft configuration is done vis the FMC, PMDG Setup>Aircraft>Equpiment.

 

Ground service equipment can be connected also the the FMC, FS Actions>Ground Connections, note however that the chocks must be set for you to be able to connect other services.

 

The panel state can be loaded or saved throught the FMC also, PMDG Setup>Panel State Load/Panel state save.

this is unlike the other pmdg aircraft where you do have the pmdg tab at the top on the alt tab where you can add fuel etc
