Hi all, thank you for your replays !! I'll check Sim Avionics, I've never heard of it since now Because I'm from Italy, I've heard in Padova-Italy there is a chance to buy a ready to fly fixed-based 737 simulator. Their website (not sure if i can post it here) is Flightsimulatorcenter dot com . I doubt any of you tried their simulator, but it looks like they compose it using products from other companies... It seems interesting even if expensive...!

Thank you for your reply. :-) Together with a few friends we were thinking about building a 737 cockpit, and we are curious to know which is the most accurate software today for an home cockpit. As said we tried ProSim and PM and both are less accurate than PMDG NGX.. If your consider the start up sequence and the correlated engine parameters, we found weird numbers on all the home cockpits we tried, but if you look at the PMDG NGX start up sequence it's pretty accurate and realistic. Thanks !

Good day all, Thank You for your precious help :-) I had a chance to fly few Boeing 737 Home Cockpit Simulators in the past few days, and I would like to start talking about avionics, focusing on: AP behavoiur, PFD/ND logic and displays, Engine Parameters both in flight / start up. I'm sure I used both ProSim 737 and Project Magenta (and maybe others that I don't know...) I understand it's impossible to create a Level-D simulator, but I find PMDG NGX or IFLY to be a lot closer to the real aircraft than the software used in the home cockpit's sims. So here are my questions: - Which is the best avionic suite in terms of fidelity to the real aircraft which can be used in a 737 Home Cockpit ? - Is there any chance to let PMDG NGX manages avionics and systems in an home cockpit? Thank you ! Matteo Tonon

Hi to everybody!!I'm writing to You to solve this little problem...I'm using the Saitek X52 (Joy + Throttle) and it works very well.The problem is about the function Controls Override (PMDG - general - options - AFDS)I thought it lets the manual intervention on Cloche / Throttle, but...A- independently of the selection, i can use F1 F4 to close/give powerB- In an Abort T/Off, when I put the Saitek Throttle in Idle, on the simulator it doesn't go to idle: I've to use F1c- independently of the selection, if I use my Joy, the AP disconnects to let me fly manually the airplane.As you can see, I didn't understand the Override function very well... Please, could someone help me??!Thank you very very much, I hope You good Flights!!Matteo

Hi everybody!! It's the first time I write here and first of all I want to congratulate to the PMDG Team for the Excellents Job They did with the 747-400 Queen Of The Skies!!!!!I'm posting here because I've 3 small questions and i'm not sure if it's a simulation problem (unlikely) or my fault!!1) TO INTERCEPT A RADIAL (VOR): I set the frequency and the course on the FMC, and (while in HDG HOLD mode)I set LOC on the MCP.Then I see the radial moving from side to side on the VOR PAGE (ND)but the autopilot never captures it2) Abort T/Off: Brakes RTO, Power to 70%, then I press TOGA, THRUST REF then HOLD on the PFD, at 100Kt I move the Throttle back to idle but the brakes don't work. When the aircraft is stopped, the breakes move back to "disarm". That's correct but why they don't work?!?3) Go Around: - Manual approch it works- AUTOLAND: At 300ft I press the TOGA, and the aircraft should increase the power (ok) and rise the noise up to 15
