Nicely done, but how far out are you required to contact them?

Ooh, not sure. I've only flow a couple of times in the states. 10 miles or 5 mins, whichever is greater?

 

@Kyle, where do you control?

 

VATSIM - ZDC

Since I work with the Command Center for my primary job, and fly around here all the time I figured I might as well stick to home on VATSIM, too.

PM'd - don't want to give it away just yet.

I see, maybe I find you at control once I decide to reactivate my concorde fleet I just love that KIAD procedure for concorde.

I got AOA's MD-11 and 767 package well after they were released and they were helpful to the point of getting me up to speed very quickly on how to fly and use the aircraft. Since the NGX has been out for so long and even though I've gotten AOA's captain package I've been able to learn the 737 just fine without the videos (because of the fact they have taken so long to come out). At this point I'm not gonna really think about getting the T7 training, I kinda knew it would take some time but not this long. I can't even find the Flight Work 4 your talking about, goes from pre-flight to climb.

 

I think its 15NM out from an airport you contact TWR?

Love the Fall Off the Wall, but I've never seen anyone do it properly on VATSIM. Love the guys doing the IAD-MIA run who think they can go supersonic right after departure.

A little less. It's in Part 91, if you want to keep looking.

All this and I was just about to pull the trigger on the MD-11 series last night. Now I am thinking twice.

 

Can anyone comment if they have the MD-11 series as to the quality difference if any that I am reading here?

I say the md-11 proceedures and the flight works are better in accurate than th 737 due to probably of the rushing of getting the 737 out imo

 

I was happy of getting the md-11 series other might not think so but each to thier own

I can't imagine paying for any product like this. In preview shots, the quality looks great. For me, there has been no airplane that I have not understood after tinkering a bit on the ground with the manual, and a few test flights of my own. The NGX is super easy to learn, I don't think paying for these videos is needed.

I am no expert but the last few videos are rushed and not very good at all, they seem to be concentrating more on T777 competitions etc , I'm a AOA subscriber and have always backed them however I feel they are getting sloppy and it shows in the narration during the videos and the mistakes that are being made, this basically teaches people the incorrect methods.

I have to agree on this. I really loved their Aviator 90 and AviatorPro course until Chris moved on and it was left in shambles. His enthusiasm on these videos was addictive and I enjoyed just watching the videos and eagerly awaited updates.

 

However with the 737 flightwork, I knew something was wrong when they released the first video for the hand-flying. I didn't see the point of it, but just left it at that and waited for the first flights to come in. Just a couple of points

 

1) Chris sounds fed-up and uninterested. He is continually sighing loudly and sounds stressed. It comes across in these videos quite clearly, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so. I guess we can't blame him though.

 

2) A mistake done once (i.e. Entered +57 instead of -57'F) can be forgiven, but doing it in two videos and then blaming a bug in the NGX is crazy. This "little issue" really messed up the FMC, and I'm surprised this wasn't immediately picked up and the video started again.

 

3) After the first flight, he seemed to stop using checklists and just seemed to go from memory, not really checking anything properly and missing things. This is evident when in the last flight to Madeira, the departure was messed up pretty badly, and he again blamed a bug in the software and just did something that wouldn't be allowed in the real world.

 

4) Using unreleased software in the videos, so we can't actually follow along. PFPX looks great, but none of us have it, and we've already waited long enough for the videos.

 

After the huge delay actually getting these videos out, I'd actually read and done most of the stuff myself from tutorials on Youtube. Although not NGX specific, I really love FSX404's channel on Youtube, who does an approach to Innsbruck and Madeira the hard way.

 

Eitherway, I will still be buying their 777 course when it is released. As after everything, I really do like their videos

I was more interested in the ground work vidoes  than the flight work ones,  since  we all know by now  on how  to  fly the ngx.  But most of  us  dont  know  the ins and outs of  each system  which were shown in the  ground work vids

Very good summary Tony, further to that if he's stressed or tired then freshen up take the time to release a quality video which does not have errors and it will be much better, blaming the software and bugs etc is just poor form. I will wait on the T777 vids and get some feedback first.

Didn't he film the flights in one afternoon?

No, the Innsbruck one was done last year, and then the rest seem to have been done in early February.

From the quality of them, you'd be forgiven for thinking so.
