The only thing I would add to that is to arrange for someone to flush after immersion in toilet bowl

The download cfg file fix seems the same in content as the original texture cfg's . The only difference is the read only attribute. I unchecked the read only on all the texture cfg's and the Livery Manager worked perfectly on the installations. Ryan and the crew worked so hard to give us this state of the art 737ngx but he (and they) worked equally hard to help their customers have a satisfying Sim experience. Where else can you get this sheer ability and dedication?

Clunk Clunk, we have a kool-aid drinker!Jack Hancock

If I understand you correctly, PMDG could have a separate in house agreement with Boeing without releasing sensitive info (that is, after their lawyers go over it with a fine tooth comb) while still providing the rest of us with their latest releases. The PMDG team has, through their videos and screen shots, given us proof how close to the real 727NGX this upcoming product is.As to the rest of your thinking, it may be "what the definition of is...is"I recall vaguely years ago the Navy used software to transistion their pilots from the C-172 as primary to the Intermediate military version of the T-34 Mentor. Then on to flight deck training.Try to have an open mind and not be judgemental. You might as well learn that now as you sure as hell won't be able to talk to the Captain like that when you're First Officer.Remember, this is all playful conjecture until the NGX is released.Jack Hancock :( :( :(

Keep in mind that Boeing has cooperated with PMDG on real 737 data for the flight manuals. RSR has stated that he could have released the 737NGX earlier but wanted to present us with as cleanest product as possible. This is admirable and is reflected of his high standards. He has stated that the amount of amperage used has been modeled accurately out to 1/1000th of an amp, based on the airplane's certification data. He has said that The hydraulic Electric Motor Driven Pump (EMDP) consumes 7.824 amps of energy while running. But, if fails or is shut down, the energy consumption increases by 4.3amps to a total of 12.124 amps. This is remarkable detail but I think would be ignored by most of us. I have 3500 hours over a ten year period of Commercial flying and this probalbly would have gone by me. (yeah, I know, I should pay more attention) My point is that besides giving their customers that best product they can offer, they have to impress Boeing with their accuracy of detail because the enginneers and the brains that make decisions are watching this outcome and who knows, this might lead to more lucrative opportunites with Boeing...pilot training with PMDG products, etc. So I would expect them to take as long as they want to turn out an impressive product. I may be wrong, and if I am, just chalk it up to pre-release silly conjectureJack Hancock(I moved this message because I put it in another forum by mistake)

Apples Oranges. PI is a Constant. An irrational number.H-Bar deals with the energy of Photons and the Frequency of Electronic Waves.Anyway, the Silliness will end when the product is released and we will all have something real to focus on. :( :( :( Jack Hancock

THAT IS INCORRECT!! PI is a NEVER ENDING, never repeating sequence. Your figure ended in 71.Math Police, ARREST THAT MAN!! I feel faint...I'll never be the same! :( :( :( Jack Hancock

I am not interested in viewing anyone's source code or bug tracking system if I am not a member of their team. I think you got a little hurt from my blunt remarks but really, it's not proper to ask to get inside PMDG'S working parts. It's their project. We are here to enjoy (and pay for) the fruits of their labors.My mistake is defending PMDG when it's none of my business and they do a great job without me.When I mentioned looking at the source code I was kidding. You know, as in humorous.--Jack Hancock

When you buy a product, you DO NOT deserve full access. The source code is PMDG'S proprietory legal right. You better start respecting legal rights or your going to get yourself into trouble. When I mentioned accessing PMDG'S source code in my previous posting I was being sacastic, just kidding.Jack Hancock

That's either an incredibly naive or arrogant question--Oh, by the way, PMDG, could I go over your source code??Jack Hancock

I'm sure nobody cares and frankly I can't blame them but there is another poster who signed his name "John Hancock". My name is Jack Hancock and we are not the same person. This in no way reflects on the content of his posting.If you are nodding off or rolling your eyes, try not to drool on the keyboard.Jack Hancock

.Come back when you can't fly the NG, because you didn't read the manual. I'll be right here, along with the others, answering your questions.Wow... What's it like being an all knowing expert??Jack Hancock

I'm sorry, my concentration wasen't 100% when I was preparing the flight. My Brother was bending my ear over his latest girl friend. I think there was a difference in Gross Weights because of the different taxi/fuel entries.I'll try to do a more through prep but I'm sure your programming is correct.Thanks again.Jack Hancock

rrv1988Your digital speed card calculation was just 1 or 2 knots difference on the V-Speeds with a previous flight I did without your card.Thanks for taking the time to give the guys added help.Jack Hancock

Pretty funny?? Laughing your &@($* off??Are you allright? Did you take your Meds?Jack Hancock

Great video but is spoiled by the inappropiate music. The sound of the engines and the ambiance is music enough. Otherwise a very good effort. Jack Hancock

I meant to say 100% RPM'S. 100 would just be a very high speed taxi

"If the green light comes on then I suspect you are thinking they don't work (spoilers) because you are watching the instant replay feature, which doesn't faithfully show control surfaces during replay. Try an outside view during your test, you should see the spoilers if the green light is on..."--downsccThe above quote actually occured in the 737NGX FORUM but it answered a long standing question I had with the J41. For over a year and a half I thought the problem of the spoilers not deploying on touchdown was due to voltage spiking in my Controller. I based this perception on only viewing the replays--they never deployed in the replays. At 50 feet I switched to outside view and sure enough, with rpm's at 100 and reverse thrust engaged the spoilers did their job just as the PMDG guys designed it to do.Thanks to downscc for his insight.Jack Hancock

's Sorry guys, I'll take a pass on the Kool Aid drinking.That's it from me. No more comments. I'm done.Jack Hancock

Hi Dan,I got my point accross. It's still disgusting but it's your Photo Shop.Bye.Jack Hancock

At this point, a foot would be more appropiate...

Hi Dan, (Turbine 777)Your comments are well thought out and you show a lot of interest in the PMDG forums and this is good.But that thing (tongue??) hanging out of your mouth in your picture is disgusting. Remove it. You're smarter than that. Why make your self look like an idiot?Jack Hancock
