Hi

I used to use 737ngx in fsx and was perfectly fine and no issues however I removed fsx and installed FSX SE as well as latest update of PMDG 737NGX for fsx SE downloaded from PMDG account couple of weeks ago. I program the route perfectly in fmc but during the descent when I extend flaps to 5 speed automatically change to lets say 200 and that speed I can see in PFD but if look into the fmc it is 240 for that waypoint if I extend more flaps speed drops more and I can see this changed speed on top of speed tape in PFD where as in FMC its 250.or 240 which ever is programmed

I did 3 different routed and same issue.

As far as I know speed in the pfd should be the fmc programmed speed and nothing to do with flaps unless we change manually

Is this a bug or any thing else.

Really appreciate for the help

thx

False. The aircraft will adjust to your selected flaps setting as you get closer to the airport.

 

If you'd like to keep your speed up, select SPD INTV by pressing the SPD INTV button next to the speed wheel.

Not a bug. You should really fly the tutorial. It would've explained this to you.

 

This is a study-level simulation here. You're going to have to do a little reading (of the tutorials and intro manual) to get to know the aircraft. Just because you didn't expect it doesn't mean it's a bug.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're talking about Reversion Modes.  Take a look at page 244 of the FCOM Volume 2.

Love that term.  Absolutely accurate.

 

You know, I was thinking that a lot of people that casually fly the NGX would never even notice what the OP did.  From that perspective, I'd like to give the OP a Pat on the Back.  Not suggesting that folks shouldn't see it, just that a lot don't.  Flying the Leonardo Maddog in shared cockpit, I've seen a lot of really good pilots who didn't notice such things until they were pointed out.  Anyway, nice job by the OP.

 

Kyle, just a question. Do you know if the NGX Autothrottle correctly simulates the reduced capabilities when leaving the A/T on and disconnecting the Auto Pilot?

 

Thanks in advance.
