A few 737ngx questions

Featured Replies

I figured I would put the different questions I had into one post to save time.

 

1. When I am at the gate with the 737ngx and my cargo doors are open I can see clear through to the other side of the plane. Is there a setting or some sort of fix for this? There isn't even a door on the other side of the plane to look through. Also, when I first started flying the plane I could see it light up the inside cabin. Now the windows are silver and I can not look in. I assume at some point I changed a setting, but am not sure which one. 

 

2. I have noticed in lots of tutorials people use a screen on their main panel that shows the decent path and any terrain under it. I push the same buttons they do, but it does not appear. Do I have to enable this feature? Is it not available in all liveries? Also, I can not pull up my gear/flight instrument status on my lower display.

 

3. I was flying into vegas tonight and I got a no autoland light on my engine panel. I have had it say it on my main panel before, but this came up before I even entered a runway into the fmc or started my decent, so it had nothing to do with the entries of the runway or the radios or anything like that, because I didn't even get that far. The runway I landed at had ILS and I was able to capture the localizer but could not engage the autoland and had to land it manually. 

 

 

Thanks, 

 

Chris

Probably a bad repaint. Make sure to test with stock or PMDG supplied ones.

Probably has to be enabled (livery specific). Brake temps / flight controls position is the same story. Livery specific, has to be enabled.

There are a LOT of things that will trigger that.

You've already started two of your own threads.  There's no reason to hijack someone else's thread for your issue.

I have tested with a couple different pmdg supplied liveries and it is the same result. Whenever I am sitting at an airport with the cargo doors open I can look through them and see out the other side of the aircraft. Its really disruptive to immersion and I don't recall having this issue when I first got the plane but I could be wrong.
