The missed approach point (MAP) is actually at OEV 6.3, 5.1, or 3.8 DME, depending on the aircraft climb capability. This is where the missed approach procedure begins. The missed approach procedure then instructs you to continue on the LOC with a best-angle climb until OEV 1.0 DME, at which point you make the tight left turn back onto the LOC outbound. That is the significance of the the OEV 1.0 DME fix...it does not "exist" in the actual approach, only the missed approach procedure.

Reduces workload... You're not constantly fiddling with the MCP

You can still use VNAV to step down to the LNAV MDA, you just wont have the glideslope and there will be no incentive ie lower mins for doing so

Concerning the approach speed, its correct that while Vref+5 is recommended when landing with autothrottle on, as wind/gust protection is provided, if your landing without A/T or plan to disengage before landing, you need to use the wind additive to find Vapp which IIRC is Vref + 1/2 the headwind component + the gust factor.

Ok yea the procedure must have been updated with different waypoints since the AIRAC cycle used in the tutorial

Volume levels configured as per pg 78 of the NGX Introduction?

This is probably because you selected the LOC/DME EAST procedure, whereas in the tutorial, they fly the SPECIAL LOC/DME EAST. Its very similar, but has specific requirements for aircraft performance and crew training, and has the different DME fixes that you point out. Just enter the restriction yourself using the appropriate LSK-R

QRH pg 25

It's not out yet...but the A320 from FSLabs will be perfect for you. The systems depth the developers are describing on their forums is very impressive

Well if you use the quick disco button on the yoke, by double clicking it you get the minimum 2 sec disconnect warning

Actually try max sensitivity and zero null zone first, I think that's what fixed it for me, if not it was maybe a 10% null zone (I use FSUIPC for controls now)

If you have Realistic Autopilot Engagement enabled, the aircraft has to be in trim with minimum control surface deflection, attitude near the FD command, and elevator trim not moving, for CMD to engage.

Your toe brakes are engaged. Try setting a null zone, and maximize the sensitivity in the FSX options

Sweet! Been waiting for this one

Flying mostly the NGX, Legacy, Duke, and C90 recently. Like others, I've also been somewhat spoiled by the NGX and now find it difficult to take out other airliners...

I had this same exact issue in the video... I actually returned the plane because of it. Like you, I tried all manner of combinations for weather, loading, altitude, airspeed, FSUIPC etc, even tried my hand at some CFG edits, but it never went away. Would love to hear of any progress towards a fix. It was an otherwise awesome plane and I look forward to owning it again when this gets solved.

I have Vista 64 with 4gb RAM but still have memory issues with the MD-11. I do not get OOM-errors per-say but I do have this wierd phenomenon where after flying the MD-11 for a few hours, things start disappearing like they're being dumped from the memory. The fuselage disappears in spot view, the VC disappears, then the panel goes black, then FSX crashes.It seems to occur whenever I interrupt the sim in any way, like if I minimize or open a menu.

I've got an E4300 overclocked to 3 GHz and an 8800GT. I'm considering moving to either an E8400 or a Q6600, overclocked as far as they will go with air cooling. I'm wondering if the difference in FSX would be worth the cost and which option would be better?

Thanks Dan, that worked beautifuly!

Stupid question, I know. I'm just starting with gmax and have a quick question. I have an editable poly divided in 6 rectangles. I want to completely delete the two rectangles indicated. How can I do this? (see pic).http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/190821.jpg

Suddenly I've been getting vertical contrails behind aircraft in cruise. See pic. Any idea what is causing this??http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/183485.jpg

I have merged the POSKY model and the Feelthere panel and the only issue I've experienced is that the fuel pump switches cannot be turned on. Did anyone figure this out?

I use the maximum setting (8xS) with my 7900GS.

Where are the checklists located on the smartcockpit site? I can't find them...

Hi Stu, I followed your directions and I've yet to try a full flight, but now FS9 is crashing during startup with an error message that it fails to load "bglman.dll" (part of the cloud9 KLAX) scenery. I have to remove bglman.dll from the modules folder before I can successfully start FS9, which of course renders my KLAX scenery unusable...This issue just came up after applying the >2gb fix.EDIT: Problem does indeed disappear after restoring my original fs9.exe
