May 19, 201313 yr Bigger fan of having all manuals on my iPad. However the hard manuals look fantastic quality and way worth the money. If you have the money and really want to master the NGX, why not? I envy you, I am getting old I have iPads and iPads up the whazzoo, but I can never seem to relax with aircraftmanuals on the pads... It sure is handy, allthough there are some issues with finding chapters and so on, the ringbinders are really fast. But the handiness of the iPad-way cannot be argued with
May 19, 201313 yr Or you could get you a good printer that allows ink refilling from a kit, print them out from the included pdf's, get a three hole punch and some notebooks, and voila ... you have your own printed set. A lot of work, but you'll save some money. Otherwise, I would get the NGX, fly it around some, check and see how it works with your computer, then get the manuals if you like. The NGX is definitely the real deal for deep, detailed immersion. I've had it since day one and I sometimes still feel like a rookie flying it. Dennis Trawick Screen Shot Forum Rules

But the handiness of the iPad-way cannot be argued with Haha, my iPad is one of best things I've bought. I have all of my PPL books on here too along with everything needed for real world flying and charts for the sim. Once PFPX is released I can use it to have my OFP's open throughout the flight. B777 manuals are all bookmarked, so that makes it easy navigating throughout Adobe Reader too. However I see the PMDG PDF files are not bookmarked, which is a shame. However I won't need any of the ones they supply since all mine are pretty much the same, just with an airlines SOP integrated in parts. Could be handy to have the QRH that PMDG supply with it, even then though that's built into the ECL if needed. The future is upon us haha. Only paper charts I prefer is enroute/plotting charts! - Luke Pabari
May 19, 201313 yr Commercial Member slow down slow down,, The Angle of attack videos are merely deomonstrations of the manuals you are going to get. IF you get the manuals, you certainly don't need the AOA training. To be honest, the manuals supplied with the software are more than enough to understand the aircraft to an extremely high level.

The NGX is definitely the real deal for deep, detailed immersion. I've had it since day one and I sometimes still feel like a rookie flying it. That is a good piece of advice! I hHave the NGX manuals but under certain circunstances they are useless - figures that have colours (and we all know that how colour is relevant in all aircraft´s instruments!) are too dark and one cannot see any differene in the lines. In this case, I have to open the pdf for clarity. My advice: get the NGX! It is an outstanding product and save some money for the forthcoming B777 Edmundo Azevedo
May 20, 201313 yr Or you could get Capt Mike's Training Syllabus... http://www.pcaviator.com/store/product.php?productid=19760&cat=0&page=0&featured=Y Not sure if it's complete enough for your taste or any good for that matter but it, at least, appears easier to digest and cheaper.

May 21, 201313 yr For the 737, I can definitely recommend 737 Management Reference Guide. A pilot friend of mine shown his book to me, and it was a very good resource. I will definitely buy it when I get a tablet. --Peter Fabian
May 21, 201313 yr The 737 MRG is indeed a very handy reference. Written by Capt. Boone, and not really that expensive at all. Name available upon request
May 22, 201313 yr Looking at the 737 NGX, but also looking at buying the full Chief Pilots Manual Set for the 737NGX Its expensive, comes to a whopping $330.00 before shipping. Also, since I'm going this far, might as well get the Angle of Attack 737 NGX training video which is impressive to say the least. 9 hours plus of video on it! So after buying the software itself, the manual set, video, etc... would it be worth it? Lot of money I know, but I'd really like to dive head first into a detailed FSX simulation. What say the masses? Jacob Sanders No Offence but you must have more money than you know what to do with. Save a packet go to www.smartcockpit.com then buy the T7. Wycliffe

May 22, 201313 yr All these documents are included as pdf's in your NGX installation: "The PMDG 737NGX comes with six documents: • Introduction • PMDG 737NGX Tutorial #1 • PMDG 737NGX Tutorial #2 • PMDG 737NGX Flight Crew Training Manual • PMDG 737NGX Flight Crew Operations Manual Vol. 1. • PMDG 737NGX Flight Crew Operations Manual Vol. 2. • PMDG 737NGX Quick Reference Handbook" What else do you need, concerning manuals?!? What happened to AVSIM
May 22, 201313 yr Commercial Member A couple of hours flying lessons at your local aerodrome. Every time I think about buying the manuals, that enters my mind, and I'm off to JYO for a flight somewhere. Kyle Rodgers
May 22, 201313 yr What else do you need, concerning manuals?!? Well... the same, but printed and bound. That is kinda the whole point... --Peter Fabian
May 22, 201313 yr Bigger fan of having all manuals on my iPad. However the hard manuals look fantastic quality and way worth the money. If you have the money and really want to master the NGX, why not? I agree. If you love the 737NG, it makes a lot of sense to invest in the manuals and Angle of Attack training. You can't go wrong and the NGX is the crown jewel of PMDG and accurately represents the biggest selling commercial aircraft model in history. Also you will want to look into FS2Crew Voice Command and Emergency (and maybe even RAAS) to have the real cockpit experience.

That is all of the manuals, but there is a big difference from having a .pdf to actually turning the pages. Robert Yunque
