You aren't missing out on any amazing sound, the amazing sound is included in the NGX package.

There is one excellent mod which enhances the PMDG sounds. By the late Steve Inwood, linked to in his NGX ground roll enhancement thread. Adds some rattles and thumps to great effect. Well worth trying out.

Hey Zoran thanks for the link. One question on installing the sound pack. Do I just need to copy the new sound files to the appropriate folders? I know the instructions say to extract the 2 new folders to the main FSX directory but when I tried to do that I got a prompt that asked me if I was sure I wanted to replace the existing "SimObjects" and "Sound" folders. I clicked cancel and haven't installed them yet because I don't want to loose anything. I'm not sure on the correct installation procedure here. Thanks

You can install them by either method you mention and click yes to overwrite when it asks. Just back up those folders in case you dont like the new sound

Thanks for the info Zoran! Installed the new sound set and LOVE IT! I also installed FS2's RAAS Pro... wow what a difference. Feels so real!

 

Falling in love all over again with my NGx!!!! :lol: :wub:

The T7 experience of course is extra-ordinary but looking at the total "eco system", the 737 beats it FOR ME. I can use the 737 with my CP Flight MCP, FS2Crew, Top Cat and Virtual CDU on iPad. Also since I fly on VATSIM with time limits of about 5 hours and try to stay away from time acceleration, it's of course easier to find suitable routes for the 737. 

I haven't even got the 777 yet. I know it is good of course, but it is too big and long range, for the sort of short range flights I enjoy. I knew my thinking would be like this, which is why I wasn't screaming at PMDG to finish thier development.

very much my thoughts .... lack of hardware (mcp)& limited options for cockpit building / multiple monitors as well.

 

i have the feeling the T7 is for " ....." between ".... ".

I last flew the NGX very early July.... I don't miss it ha  The 777's automation can make things less exciting - I do agree on that actually. But I don't see why you'd need FS2Crew with it personally. However everyone has different preferences  ^_^

I would like fs2crew for the immersion and atmosphere, although I agree the 777 is fairly easy to fly without assistance since its soo automated.

As reed259 said, it's all about atmosphere and the sense of believing that you are actually there in a cockpit being part of a process. The part that always gives me the most goosebumps is "ground, we are ready for pushback and engine start"  B) My biggest problem with FS2Crew for 737 is that I haven't used it that much lately so I have to sit with both the checklist and the "flowlist" in front of me (well, on the iPad) which takes away the natural flow. But it's an issue related to my bad memory, not the program!

Over here on X Plane I miss it, I wish it was available on this software, then this would be the best sim out there! 

I dont own the T7 and dont plan on buying it for the time being. I wait for the ER versions to see if I gonna change my mind! The LR/F models are to specific for the flights I like to do.

 

I cant say I miss the 737 that much... But now I pretty much fly the MD11 only. I really love it. Lot of power, good range, unique design, and despite becoming a little old compare to the NGX and the T7, it is a masterpiece from PMDG! Congrats to all involved in this beautiful piece of work.

Love 'em all...... fly 'em all ......

 

No need to have a monogomous relationship with your PMDG fleet .......... be promiscuous and fly them all! :lol:

 the only thing though is that i feel PMDG did better job with the mcp on the T7, it really sticks out very realistically.

 

The 737 and 777 cockpits aren't the same - don't know what to tell you here. The 737 definitely has less "depth" to the main panel in real life:

 

 

See how much deeper the 777 panel is recessed back from the edge of the MCP?

 

 

 

I came back, to the 737 some days ago. It took me 5 minutes to close the sim and select the 777, again. I only fly  the 777...absolutely surrendered to this masterpiece..

 

Best.
