I think it's also important to remember that compared to the new flight sim platforms and products coming out, the NGX is actually starting to become an "old" add-on. Which is why PMDG has been heavily hinting at a brand new version coming out after they finish the 747-8. But point is that while I absolutely adore PMDG and the work that they do, I think this sound pack is an improvement. Better recording technology, more depth to the sounds, simply because there are better options available from when the NGX was first released. Not a hit on the guys at PMDG at all in my opinion.

The real 737 NG is over 20 years old and still going strong.

I fail to see what exactly that has to do with this haha. My point is that there are technologies today that didn’t exist when the NGX was made, so of course there will be improvements that can be done. All said though I love my NGX and fly it almost exclusively.

I bought it and can't get used to it, seems like the volume levels are drastically reduced compared to the out of the box NGX.

Did you check out the recommended settings in the Quick Start guide?

No I didn't, ha! Thanks for pointing it out.

I misunderstood your post.. Sorry. 

I do think these sound good overall, but I feel like they’re missing a bass layer or something like that...not much low end rumble and the engine sounds are a bit “thin” if I could describe it that way.  Maybe something is up with my setup, I do have a subwoofer.

Just did a flight in the FSLabs A320 and my subwoofer is working fine with those sounds, definitely a lot more rumble and bass, any other thoughts around this?

I believe it was posted on their Facebook page that there will be an update that will increase low frequencies for some users that are experiencing that issue. 

From within the real cockpit you do not hear any bass sound.

That we like to have it is something different.

Only from within the cabin sitting behind the engines you will hear the exhaust bass rumble ; a lot when spooling up at takeiff and a little when flying...

Those sub-bass tones are very important and you hear them all the time on the real thing.  In fact, you  feel them too.  I installed this pack last night and was also somewhat disappointed.  The sub-bass tones are not there.

I don't think this is about engine exhaust rumble - it's more of a low bass vibration from the turbine which is felt (and heard)at lower  to mid-N1 settings.

I feel that as I am using a Buttkicker 2.

But you won't feel it if the sounds and bases aren't there to generate it.

I've given up on Butt-kickers - because as amazing as they are,  their amps are a pile of word not allowed.  I have two Buttkicker amps fail on me in 2 years - both lasting less than 4 months each.
