Jazz, Thanks a bunch for the tip on Ezdok being in the headrest must have been what it was as sin as I moved it all was good again and T7 is all good again.

Jazz, Thanks for the tip im going to try that later just might be the problem because my NGX works perfect.. Seems like Ezdok isnt playing nice with the 777 or maybe its just me... Mark

That has happened to me as well in fact it has broken my VC cockpit. Doesnt matter what I do cant click any buttons have re installed the whole plane twice deleted my fsx.cfg nothing works my 777 is just broke no idea where to go now..

Good thought I have FSUIPC installed and I have the autosave unchecked wonder if that would be a better option. Mark

So there I was, (that’s how you start any good story) just intercepting the glideslope at KDFW 17L after a nice long, time accelerated cruise from London Heathrow. Then all of a sudden I couldn’t click on anything in the cockpit nothing worked the sim was still running but I couldnt do anything.. What a disappointing end to a nice flight, I seem to recall this happing in another addon plane however I just can’t remember what the issue was.. Any thoughts? Regards Mark

I have freezes and crashes disabled and removed realtek and it still happens. I do have Ezdok as well. Mark

Hey Guys I seem to have the same problem here my displays have lines in them. Im not sure I have ever messed with the zoom factor is it in the FSX .cfg ?? On my NGX I just dim the brightness and it seems to fix it in this bird doesnt do it.. Regards Mark

Cheryl, The whole idea for me is to not have the weather engine pull down new METAR's from the internet as I fly, I tend to like to have static weather. So if I want to shoot an ILS approach in the fog when I get to KSAN, I obviously dont want it to be clear when I get there some 4 hrs later after leaving KMDW. I am new to OPUS so im just trying to get it setup how I want it. Mark

Thanks for the quick response, I was reading another post this would this procedure work for what I want ? 1. "Enable Live Weather Engine" checked, as well as "Import METAR data from file" checked uses the METARs in the bespoke text file you have created and not realtime weather. Therefore you must be close to the METAR airports in your bespoke text file - unless the file has one METAR with GLOB as the ICAO (then you can use it anywhere).

Ok so maybe someone can clear up some confusion for me.. I enjoy flying the PMDG 737-NGX, I like to fly a real world flight plan and sometimes those flights are quite long.. I dont always want the weather to change at the destination. So what setting keeps the weather engine from going out to the internet and pulling down new weather when I get near my destination. Does OPUS download global Metars or just Metars that are close to your location ? Regards Mark

Im sure this has been asked however I can t seem to find an answer so bear with me. I have used AS2012 since its early days and I hate the way it take forever to load and never seems to be right. I personally enjoy finding some nasty weather in the USA and flying my PMDG-737 NGX into a good IFR approach. With AS2012 I can download the lastest METAR turn off real time updates and fly to it, when i get there the weather will or should be unchanged. I looked through the Opus docs. and even downloaded the demo thinking of buying. The one thing I couldnt seem to do what I describe above. I know you can point Opus to your own METAR file however I cant find anything that says what kind of file it wants. I pointed Opus to my AS2012 current snapshot .txt file to see if it will read it however Opus didnt seem to work.. So what am I missing here or will Opus just not do what I want it to. If it will could someone give me a heads up and if that works im sold, Opus seems to be very fast and relaiable. Regards Mark S

Ahmed I would def. be interested in those settings as well I cant seem to find the sweet spot with this thing. I also use the AOA settings and finf them way to lite. When I tinker with them seems like I get shook clear out of the left seat. Regards Mark

Thanks for the update RSR seems like a good week, Microsoft Flight was released yesterday and now the SDK for NGX this weekend what a coincidence. Thanks again.

Try flipping off the anti ice switch next time worked for me

I had the same issue just turn the brightness on your DU controls on the panel and you will see the lines dissappear. Mark

Yep set elev. and runway length press enter but just never seems to show im sure I have messed it somewhere

I did read it several times and I have went by it to the letter but the overlay does not appear I know how to read

Yep looked at the tutorial a few times and def. have entered the runway settings but I have never seen a runway overlay.

I have been flying NGX since it came out reading the manual when I dont know how to do something. This one has got me though, I cant figure out how to get the HUGS to show the runway overlay. What am I missing ?? RegardsMark

I had also experienced a few freezes the first night I purchased the NGX. I was browsing the forum and found a post where someone had solved his freezes by loading a default fsx 737 before loading NGX and it solved his issues. I tried that as well and have not had a freeze yet. I simply load a default 737 in fsx then fire up NGX and all is well. Hope this helpsMark

I am locked at 28 FPS and it is outstanding, not a single burp or stutter... I5 2500kNivida 4604GB RamWin 7 32

I have to say that I have been following the NGX since it started and I have never posted here before. I bought the NGX tonight and took her up for a trip around the pattern.. I am amazed with the detail, sound and smoothness of it. Great FPS and not a glitch with the install as well. Congrats PMDG for a job well done I look forward to flying this bird until it needs its first Check C :) Mark S.

Interesting,I was using set number 5 now in all honesty I have changed a few things around there lately so I cant say how long it has been that way. I am getting ready to take it for a test flight in some nasty weather and check it out. I will report back.Mark

I have potentially found a solution to overcast problem that has plagued FS since its beginning I would like to test my theory however I need a person or persons who would be willing to work on it with me.If you are knowledgeable in creating textures and are interested please contact me and I would be happy to discuss the idea and the feasibility of it.Mark

I did try using the best clouds from FE (unchecked dxt clouds) did test flight into Seattle and had very good results. The conditions seemed very accurate with both visibility and overcast as reported. I could still see the holes from the side window but not out the front like it should be.So anyone else who has this issue you might try a better cloud set seems to be much thicker.Thanks for all the help...Mark.
