U sing the 737NGX manual, setting up according to the book "exactly", all I get is a cold and dark cockpit with Start Engines Cntr+E oin and off.  Any ideas?? I keep looking for the countdown!

FSX? FSX:SE? Prepar3d? Goat Sim? Whatcha runnin'?

Regular MSFS FSX

Confirm you ran installer for NGX base package as administrator and it installed to FSX without any error.

 

My understanding is that when you select the NGX from Free Flight, it appears normally in the preview window but after it loads the aircraft does not initialize and and is a dark cockpit. This is an unusual problem in FSX, which is why Kyle asked if you were using FSXSE or P3D because there are a few things that usually happen in those platforms like this.

 

The only issue I can think of is licensing and you didn't mention if that step worked okay for you or not.  You might get to a solution quicker if you open a trouble ticket at PMDG Product Support here: http://support.precisionmanuals.com

This has just happened recently. A few days ago I had no problem , I loaded and flew  a flight from KPHL-KJFK  with no problem. . In the past day or two since, It will not initialize.

Sounds like a service got disabled. Submit a ticket at the link in my signature and we have a checklist you can run to see where the issue is.

 

You don't have an ASUS mobo, do you?

Thanks, I submitted a ticket
