  1. It's working fine on my system. I like it a lot. I hope your problems get sorted out.
  2. The more people we will get to use x-plane, the more payware developers will invest in our platform. It is very hard to go back to fsx after flying with x-plane 10 with HDR on and extended terrain rendering. Now if we get this great traffic plugin and better atc, I don't think I need to install fsx on my new rig anymore.
  3. Landing the rotate MD80 doesn't seem right. I always need to add 10 knots or more to Vref to get a normal pitch and when you flare and gently bring the throttles back it just falls out of the sky instead of any ground effect and flare. Maybe it's my landing technique. The plane looks fantastic, though.
  4. I have the same issue with the throttles getting stuck in reverse. Otherwise I am very happy with it.
  5. Make sure you save a hot and high approach about 8 miles out. The engines will spoil up in time. And turn of the FD, as the auto throttle might give you ga power as you are about to touch down when you leave it on.
  6. Besides flying is like riding a bicycle. Most adjustments you make are unconscious. So it doesn't really matter if it doesn't feel exactly the same, plus any airplane handles differently under different circumstances. Flying alone or having someone heavy next to you will make quite a difference.
  7. Doesn't it have to do with the zoom factor. I was once on a jump seat of a 737 for the whole flight. Being used to flying a pa-28 it seemed pretty fast. I also think it looks smoother because they know what they are doing. They have probably trained a lot more than the fsx 'pilot'
  8. The 320NEO is good, I am having a lot of fun with the j-32 by rollon
  9. Try slowing down to 150 before you start that steep descent. And maybe put in some flaps. And then remember you got to take your speed out before descending. So if you are high and hot on approach, slow down first. You can also google some charts and do a standard approach.
  10. I always Google metar and the airport
  11. I get better performance in the PMDG, but hardly fly it because the VC just doesn't look like a 737. So I fly Ifly. I even use the default 737 VC, which merges perfectly with the Ifly737 and use the Ifly gauges. I get very good performance this way, but still enjoy a more complex 737.
  12. I flew a full motion 737 sim into Kai Tak the other day, landed normally. All I have is 120 hrs in a piper/ Cessna and many fsx hours. It seems easier than landing a Cessna, because everything is about numbers and very little about feel, there is no flare, at 50 ft you just slowly pull the power and bring the nose to 5 degrees up, if there is a cross wind you just hit the rudder right before touch down to a align the nose. Taking off is even simpler.
  13. Did you check your trim setting, should be about 5 up.
  14. After installing the hotfix the frame rate issue (going down to 10fps) was solved. It performs at least as good as the 320
  15. I would be willing to pay for a cockpit geometry update for the NGX. Give it that narrow cockpit feel that the 737 has. Ifly didn't get it right either. I think the default 737 VC is the closest. Otherwise the NGX is just perfect.
