March 7, 201511 yr Purchased and installed the PMDG 737-600,700,800,900 ... 1000 ... oh wait ... oddly I prefer the VC in the 737 over the 777. Performance wise seems about the same at the 777. Looking forward to digging into the manual and getting some hours in this aircraft. Hey Rob! When can we get one of your patented videos, even though they make me yank out my credit card against my will. Mario Di Lauro
March 7, 201511 yr Hey Rob! When can we get one of your patented videos, even though they make me yank out my credit card against my will. Great idea looking forward to that video for sure - little birdie told me hes at his real job so dont expect it to soon Rich Sennett

March 7, 201511 yr Jim, Thanks for the detailed response. I'm downloading it now. Everyone must have gotten paid today and are downloading it at the same time. I won't get to try it until I get home from work tomorrow but your results make me feel better about it. This is the aircraft I've been waiting for in P3D.
March 7, 201511 yr Hey Rob! When can we get one of your patented videos, even though they make me yank out my credit card against my will. This weekend ... have been swamped with work that pays the bills ... and work for 3rd party and work for LM and AVSIM and ... yada yada. But promise this weekend. Cheers, Rob. Navigraph downloads to the FSX product so I have to copy the NavData from there and put it in the P3D PMDG NavData folders. Good to know, thanks Jim. Cheers, Rob.
March 7, 201511 yr The 737NGX works great in P3Dv2.5. FPS are in the 50's/60's (w/unlimited fps). My only problem so far is the NavData. Navigraph downloads to the FSX product so I have to copy the NavData from there and put it in the P3D PMDG NavData folders. Hopefully Navigraph will fix this as soon as they discover the NGX has been released for P3D too. Best regards, Happy for you Jim, what are you running on though please? I'd like to see if that merits the difference between your 50/60 and my 15/20!!! :( K Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS

March 7, 201511 yr I have installed the 737NGX in P3D, and the framerates from my test airfield (UK2000 VFR Airfields EGUO RAF Colerne, VFR GenX photoscenery, ES Treescapes autogen) at maximum detail levels have been very good. Nice and smooth, with no stutters or glitches. I will now test it at a detailed airport with lots of AI planes.

March 7, 201511 yr Just finished a PMDG 737 flight from Orbx KTVL to Orbx KMRY with Orbx NorCal and Vector, ASN for weather, REX and my long haul settings ... I was really surprised I completed the flight without OOM ... NorCal alone consumes 500MB more and then toss KTVL and KMRY which are big VAS consumers also ... it was pinging as I landed, but completed landing and taxi. Will post video later. Cheers, Rob.
March 7, 201511 yr Interesting thread. I have one concern only with the PMDG products, one which caused me to stop using them in FSX long ago, before I removed FSX from my system. That is the OOM issue. I can easily understand why it has been an issue with a highly engineered product like the 737NGX. In this respect Jim's report is comforting, but PMDG's published disclaimer that the 737NGX for P3D is designed for a 64-bit environment sounds a small alarm bell for me. It seems to be saying 'don't buy or fly this if you don't want to expereince OOM problems, it won't be our fault'. I'm not discounting reports of great flights by some who have already tried it but such results are highly settings-dependant as we all know. Having said all that it may not stop me purchasing it. I admire PMDG's committment to 64-bit and that the product is (seemingly) compatible already. I find it forward-looking and realistic. After all what else could they do, you can't put a quart in a pint bottle. Who's had OOM's with it so far!? If not, is it because the P3D version has been improved in this respect? How much is due to 2.5? Any further reassurances on this count appreciated. Regards, Gareth Gareth Wilkinson LEAL Costa Blanca, SPAIN
March 7, 201511 yr I have been waiting for this moment since I bought p3dv2.0. Great work pmdg! I bought t7 two weeks ago but I will definitely buy Ngx too! Now I do not miss anything in the p3d platform. Yuji Y
March 7, 201511 yr My full specs are in my profile but I have an i7 4770K (OC 4.2Ghz) w/GTX 780 w/4GB memory and 16 GB DDR3 RAM. Best regards, Good info, do you also use nvidia inspector or just the settings in p3d? -Roland
March 7, 201511 yr Hi everyone What I would like to know is ... Are there any significant differences in looks and features between the FSX version of the NGX and the Prepar3D version?? Paul
