November 8, 20196 yr Ok let’s get some screens and initial feedback! Been waiting eagerly for this one! Got my CC ready! . Edited November 8, 20196 yr by Kilo60 Chris Camp
November 8, 20196 yr I have a little bit about impressions and review - https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/562549-pmdg-update-info/?do=findComment&comment=4091949 Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

November 8, 20196 yr Visually it's excellent. I have it parked at ORD in the United maintenance area and am getting to know the cockpit. The white dome is super bright at night and the lighting is awesome. I noticed ORD's map in the EFB is outdated, not sure what's that all about... I'll take it for a spin tomorrow. Jacek G.

November 8, 20196 yr The cockpit windows are fixed, the engine behavior is more realistic and the flight dynamics feel good with regards to stalls and overall feel. The PBR interior and exterior looks great.

November 8, 20196 yr Anyone find that the VC floods cause a serious GPU hit when there on? With them off I get around 60%. Soon as I turn them up my 1080ti pegs at 99%.

November 8, 20196 yr I'm downloading now. Super excited about this one. Robert Yunque PilotEdge Ratings = CAT-11 (2016-09-13) I-11 (2016-10-23) V-3 (2016-08-01)
November 8, 20196 yr Took her for a spin around the pattern at MDW. The sounds are a bit improved, but, given that I fly in these things all the time, I was hoping for a little more 'wow' factor. Ground handling is significantly improved, but spool up time from idle is still unrealistically fast. PBR textures look great, and she flies well. Performance is very good. Get more of the 'cramped cockpit' feeling than the NGX, which is good. Overall, I feel a bit underwhelmed, but can't really complain since all this money is going towards the MSFS2020 version. I appreciate this release from PMDG, but I think I'll be flying the FSL A320 tomorrow.

November 8, 20196 yr is it compatible with standalone MCP and EFIS hardware? I have the VirtualAvonics MCP,EFIS and on tablet the FMC
November 8, 20196 yr Does it replace the current NGX or do they work in parallel? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

Ben I agree with regards to sounds... if you use the Zibo+AudiobirdXP mod then you'll miss that in the NGXu, including the immersion... I'm afraid Zibo has spoiled us!!! Enrique Vaamonde

November 8, 20196 yr As much as I would love an updated version of the 737NGX, I have to prioritise my finances at this stage, and that means a new PSU and CPU Cooler so that I can start my first ever PC build. At the end of the day, I still have a fantastic set of 737s installed on my PC Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
