I just heard about your software today. As soon as I get home from work I will purchase. Looks fantastic! If you ever need any beta testing done please let me know. Great work on this.

I would only watch tutorials that have been highly recommended. To many have procedure errors. Nice quality but not following any check lists. Another that will take some practice is using the flaps. Flaps up to flaps 9 there is a big increase in lift. Be ready for it. Nose will want to come up. Same in reverse. The nose this time will drop when flaps are raised. Like any other complex plane here don't rush though the different steps. It took me about 15 to 20 hours to feel good in this plane. Really a joy to fly and as they have said earlier flies great by hand. I spent a weekend just starting and stopping to understand how not to melt the engines. This is another "slow down, before go down" aircraft. Plan to pull the power a mile or two before you TOD. Most think that just because it's a small tubroprop that it doesn't require the same level of detail to fly. They are wrong. Hope this helps.

Just as everyone is saying, whatever is comfortable for you. One other thing. If you're using the full version of FSUIPC you can have both connected all the time and set up each a/c for whatever one you wish to use. That's only if you use FSUIPC to control those axis and not FSX. Kind of the best of both worlds. That's how I have mine set up. I go from the P-51 and the Cub from A2A into the NGX and all I need do is move the yoke out of the way for the stick.

I used to have the same issue. I have a CH Throttle Quad and use FSUIPC to assign and calibrate. What I found was that using your method (I used to use it) it would drop out. I started to increase my throttles to near the TO thrust limit after pausing to stabilize at 40% and after that engage the A/T and have never had an issue since. I can't explain why but for me it works. I also had "Never" set as well.

What cost index are you using in the FMC during set up. Also when at cruise are you near the limit for speed?

I had the same problem with the MOTIF4 flying into KMDW this evening as well. Thought it was just me.

Ok I want this. http://phys.org/news/2011-10-fighter-jet-dome-degree-view.html

I made a big mistake this afternoon. I connected my 46" HD Sony tv to my FSX pc and loaded the NGX. OMG! I need another tv now. For my pc. The tv has the same resolution as my 27" monitor and there is a slight lack of sharpness. Now 46 inches is a little over kill for a desk I know, but now I have to start saving for a 40 inch screen tv to mount to the wall behind the desk. Damn next I'm gonna want to drop some serious coin and build a flight deck in the spare bedroom. :D

I used to edit all my head positions before EZCA. Took time. Lots of trial and error. Now with EZCA it's a snap and takes a fraction of the time. Well worth the investment.

This is an in depth explanation of the various panels and functions of the 737 NG by an online 737 captain. Very well done. I have been using it to better understand just what every switch or button does in the cockpit.It's stand alone and does not interact with FS.

I haven't been simming that long. My first pc was a Packard Bell 286 with a whopping 40 mb hard drive. Right after loading Win 3.1 I installed FS4.I have also stepped up with sim and hardware ever since. I did get a PPL but family and money put a halt to anything serious. had to stop after about 120 hours.I use CH USB yoke, Throttle Quadrant, and pedals. I also use the reg version of FSUIPC and have been setting up sim functions thru it for the controls for a long time. I have 3 PC's to fly. One for FS and Squawkbox, One for FSC 9.1 and a laptop for weather. (AS2012) now. The FSC pc has two monitors. I usually watch a movie via netflix or bluray on long flights.The overclock is the turbo function built into the mobo. It steps up when demand calls for it. When running FS with IFR conditions I haven't seen a temp higher than 50 on any one core. I have a Logitech G510 keyboard and G13 gamepad. On each I can see different values. With LCD SirReal and Speed Fan I get a lot of info for the system. Also run fraps and get a FPS display in real time on the keyboard LCD.I'm looking at getting the Saitek yoke, a pair of throttles and the pedals.

With this level of detail and devotion to the product it's worth twice the price.Been waiting for this level of quality for a long time.Many thanks and sleepless nights.Hats off to PMDG!!!Now all we need is a better sim to be developed for all this talent.

I will try the suggestions here and recreate the flight. After looking at the flight conditions it might just be the weather.After the flight I'll post results.Rick I see you use Saitek. I've been a CH fan for many years but have had some minor issues with the throttle quadrant and had to tighten the pot clamps for the levers.I'm looking at Saitek but would like some input on the feel and quality.
