Hello guys,

 

I was wondering what the difference is between the NGX and the NG? I have the NGX 738/9 package, but in the menu where I can choose which livery etc, I saw it saying NG and NGX that caught my attention. Systemwise and visually I cant see anything different.

 

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Claudio

The NG was for use with FS9. Never having flown it, that's all I can tell you.

Hey Claudio,

 

Funny, I never noticed that (not that it would be a surprise, me overlooking something !). But you're right. I see that in the Select Aircraft dialog box, "house" models without winglets are referred to as NG and their corresponding "house" models with winglets as NGX (e.g. "Boeing 737-700NG PMDG House" and "Boeing 737-700NGX PMDG House Winglets"). That's the case for the 700, 800 and 900 models (the 600 does not come with winglets). I don't know where this description is stored - could not find it in the aircraft.cfg file. Perhaps someone from PMDG could shed some light on this, just out of interest.

In the simulator the difference is that the NGX has winglets and the NG does not. In real life 737NG refers to any 737 in the 600/700/800/900 series (NG meaning "Next Generation"). PMDG just added the "X" since it is for FSX, that is also why the FS9 version is just called the NG.

Hi guys,

 

thanks for the replys so far. So in other words, theres nothing to it apart from the winglets right? :-)

Correct.
