Great pics Brandon! I've really got to get TrackIR just to get that view of the winglets! Anthony Hammond

Yeah, I use the X52 as well. Had it quite a few years now and should really change it, will likely opt for the Saitek Yoke. Anthony Hammond

Hi all, I remember in one of Nick's preview videos, he demonstrated a great feature on the NGX that provided a blue guiding line around the N1 indicator when the auto throttle was engaged to represent the physical position of your throttle hardware. A few times when disengaging AP/AT on short final I've had to make a VERY quick adjustment to the throttle as it was out of position. This feature doesn't appear to be enabled as default, but if anyone could point me in the direction to make the change that would be great. Kind Regards, Anthony Hammond.

Thanks for the advice, you're right and I've solved the problem. I unplugged by Saitek X52 completely and just tried engaging reverse with the F2 key, and what happens....perfectly stable and smoothly spooling reverse thrust. So I plug the X52 back in and go in Windows 7 joystick calibration and see that on the throttle axis, there appeared to be a dead zone on the idle detent of about 10%, looks like some sort of hardware issue. So i've removed the dead zone from the axis and the result... proper reverse thrust!

I've just tried setting it to half repeat (throttles are at idle) but it seems to make the problem worse, on the NGX (and on any other aircraft), it changes to 'REV' on the engine display but the n1 stays at around 25-30% and still doesn't want to spool up.

Hi everyone, I've always had this problem on FSX and I'm finally actively going to try to get it sorted out. I'm using a Saitek X52 Flight Control System and I've bound reverse thrust to the button on the top of throttle, I've done it through FSX control settings and have the button set to full-repeat. However, when I land and engage reverse and hold down the bound button, it starts reverse, snaps back, and starts again. I've seen videos of people where it engages and the N1 spools smoothly like it should when reverse in engaged and I was wandering if there is any trick in achieving this? Recently got the NGX so want the experience to be as immersive as possible :) Many Thanks.

Wow! Seamless integration! Again, thank you very much for taking time to do this.

Really insightful and interesting video Jack, thank you for uploading these! Anthony Hammond

Thanks a lot for taking the time to create this bliksimpie and I'm glad you mentioned the DME, I discovered the absence of this as well today! If it isn't too much trouble to upload the DME patch that would be great. Many Thanks, Tone

Hi everyone, I recently purchased the Carenado Cessna C172N through Flight1 and its fantastic and puts the default one to shame :). Now, the one thing I've noticed with it that there are the two standard VOR indicators, although they both lack a glideslope indicator for ILS. I've never been in one IRL so not sure if this is normal or not, I purchased the aircraft mainly to fly about Orbx PNW as well as going 'back to basics' and doing things like ILS approaches in a smaller, more manageable aircraft. Many Thanks.

Does anyone know according to the SOP what is the correct height for AP disengage on landing? Anthony Hammond

I was listening to Chris on the FSBreak podcast and all of the videos will be downloadable, in full HD :) Anthony Hammond

Definitely would be good to have some clarification if this is normal, although it isn't on Ryan's issue list. Anthony Hammond

Same for me, all I've done so far is run the tutorial flight 3 times but every time I've selected VOR/LOC it very suddenly banks to intercept. Anthony Hammond

Hi, Ryan states shared cockpit will be available as an update if you read towards the end of tutorial 1 that comes with the 737NGX. Anthony Hammond
