Hi all, I have recently reinstalled my Q400 after installing an SSD in my computer and now i seem to have a problem with the plane flying with a permanent 10 degree right-hand bank when flying on autopilot. Strangely, the plane still flies in a straight line and follows the flightplan. The rudder is shown as centred. I believe my hardware (saitek yoke) is properly configured. Since reinstalling the Q400, i have also installed the latest patch, in case that is relevant. Many thanks Bill

I am based in the UK and I am happy to sell you my PMDG MD11 manuals if you pay the postage. Regards Bill Miller

I have the old cpflight mcp with the rs232 connection and it works fine with the NGX. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thanks. I will check that this evening. Regards

My photo file size was a bit large! Here is a smaller version https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28892583/NGX.JPG Thanks.

Hi, I wondered whether you guys could take a look at this screenshot of my NGX and help me diagnose the problem. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28892583/NGX.png I have be using the NGX with ezdok and track IR for a long time with no problems. Then suddenly, this problem arises. I have deleted the fsx.cfg and let it rebuild. Resolved problem but only for a few minutes. I have also configured ezdok, in case that is the issue. Thanks for any advice

I was on a flight to BIKF last night and decided to select a hydraulic system A failure and run through the QRH. Just for something to do! I noted that such a failure stops the gear from working and necessitates employment of alternate gear. From researching the forum, I noted that the NGX doesn't model alternate gear so I thought that I wouldn't be able to lower the landing gear at all. However, the landing gear lowered just fine with a hydraulic system A failure. So my question is: does the hydraulic system A failure have any consequences which are modelled for the NGX? If there are no consequences for the landing gear, are the other matters mentioned in the QRH not modelled either? Obviously, it could all be my misunderstanding. It normally is. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I did some more research and found that I can assign a key through pmdg options for AP disconnect and then link it to my joystick. You are correct, if I push the disconnect button twice, it silences the alarm. But it would be good, if you ask the FO to disconnect the AP, that he also pushes the button twice in order to silence the alarm. Regards Bill

Would it be possible to add a command to the FO to silence the AP disconnect alert? I have been trying to find a key press that I can program into my joystick but no luck so far. Bill Miller

I loved the PMDG MD11 when it was first released, a far more interesting plane to fly then the 737 or 747 (IMHO) but the graphics are looking a little tired now that I have flown the NGX and unless they update them, which I doubt, I probably won't fly it again. I am even considering selling my manuals. Yes, I know that is sacrilege:) Bill Miller

I am using 1.4 Bill

The volume of the FO is too quiet. This used not to be a problem but now, even if I turn the volume control up to maximum, it seems to have little affect. Any advice would be appreciated. Bill Miller

Thanks for all the advice. I have made some progress by altering the body position within Ezdok and that does seem to have helped.Regards

Hi,I wondered whether someone could take a look at my Hugs zoom problem and give me some advice.I use Ezdok and TrackIR and have set WideView Aspect=Truehttp://www.dropbox.com/gallery/28892583/1/Shared%20Photos?h=1131e8Many thanksBill Miller

Noted. Thanks. Bill

On a flight from London Heathrow to Zurich, I had my first fire warning since flying the NGX, on any PMDG plane for that matter.I had noticed during the flight that the brakes were still hot even 40 mins after takeoff, so decided to monitor situation. In due course, fire alarm went off and wheel well fire light came on. After short period of indecisiveness, I read the QRH which told me to slow down so that I could lower the landing gear. This seem to work and the fire warning indications ceased. I kept the gear down but the brakes continued to rise in temp to 10c until landing.Just thought I would share. I don't know how these things are modelled but I wondered whether there would have been a chain of events if I hadn't lower the gear.Finally, I had a slight aborted takeoff before the flight and I guess this may have caused the problem. RegardsBill Miller

Thanks for all the great advice. Problem solved.

To celebrate the release of the NGX I have just bought myself these two program. I am not very clever with these things but I have almost succeeded in getting the two programs working together. I just have one problem. My mouse pans the cockpit when moved. I know it shouldn't do this but I don't know how to stop it. Maybe I should be asking in other forums but I thought I would try this one first. Thanks. Bill Miller

Really helpful advice. Thanks.

My son is building me a budget pc in readiness for the NGX release.Here are his suggestions:CPU - i7 2600k. £235Motherboard - Asus P8H67 -M LX New B3 Rev £75Power supply: Corsair 600w £50Ram: Corsair 2 x 4GB £70Graphics card: Nvidea 560 ti £175Any comments would be welcome and if you guys think it is worth investing a little more, I would consider it.Bill Miller

The Support Verification system is working for me now. Just a heads up for those others who overlooked to choose the colour QRH option when they ordered their manuals.

I have now been able to submit a Support Ticket so hopefully I should get some help.

Hello,I have already posted in another thread so hope you guys don't mind me posting twice but I also overlooked to choose the colour QRH option when I ordered the chief pilot set.Would someone amend my order please?I have tried to use the support section but the link in the email verifying my registration does not work.ThanksOrder number 147919

As I said, I cannot login to support because the activation link in the email sent did not work. Therefore my only option is to request help in this forum.
