July 23, 201313 yr I'm curious to know how realistic is 737NGX in flight behaviour, I just tested the plane by doing TO in various wrong configurations : 1. TO with no flaps deployed at all (though the VR are set either at flaps config of 5 deg or 10 deg) and I rotate the plane at VR 2. TO with wrong VR setting by fill in the wrong GW (below the actual GW) and I rotate at the speed below the requirement VR speed (in other word I rotate the plane before the actual VR requirement) 3. TO with no flaps deployed and rotating the plane before VR Surprisingly I TO smoothly at those wrong configuration My other curious is how realistic actually PMDG simulates 737NGX in stall behaviour, is that just easy to recover the plane from a totally stall situation compared to the realworld counterpart ?
July 23, 201313 yr Suppose you didnt hear the take off warning sound when you tried to take off with the wrong settings, if the rwy is long enough i gather the 737 could take off with no flaps set try doing it on a short rwy and see how you go I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
July 23, 201313 yr Whether the take off warning sound was audible or not is irrelevant. The OP was referring to the aircraft's behaviour.

July 23, 201313 yr As real as it gets! Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
July 23, 201313 yr Commercial Member Forget realistic stall characteristics in FSX or the multi million dollar simulators you may get a chance to fly. Training is done for approach to stall, the data is not available to realistically replicate an airliner in a stall. Regarding your test with the NGX, it seems a little crude and you haven't gone into details like ambient conditions, gross weight etc. As far as I am aware PMDG have accurately replicated the correct stall speeds and stick shaker speeds. Also remember you have a fairly large margin built into Vspeeds. Rob Prest
