Fine, mapping [shift-O] seems great and I'm going to give it a try...Yet Tabs said PMDG was in the process of making some official EZ Dok config file for their planes....did it happen for the JS41? I know 737NGX comes with them indeed.

I'm looking for EZ Dok config files for the JS41, where is the official PMDG config file - if any has been released so far?

See the LNAV light on the MCP how automatically goes off once the TOGA is pressed, then it will engage above 400ft AGL.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X01uY0bJs0&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HT8c1SlySs&feature=related

PMDG team, please make sure below topic is addressed in the NGX (for the sake of realism). I do love PMDG products and I want to help you to make it as realistic as possible. Really, not a claim on the previous 737 but a kind advice for the NGX.....LNAV engagement on the groundSwitch light is not extinguishing once TO/GA is engagedhttp://forum.avsim.net/topic/293246-lnav-engagement-on-the-ground/page__view__findpost__p__1811881Marco V.

1+3. Sorry, I wasn't aware about the new sticky topic. I'll post on it shortly.2. My post was a kind reminder from a pro 737 pilot, as I consider myself. It didn't want to be a claim on the PMDG products, undoubtedly the most realistic and complex models ever created for FS9/FSX simulator. That's why I'm just trying to ask it even better than ever....Why are you blaming me for the signature?

I guess you're referring to the latest FMC U10.8 release from Boeing which indeed allows VNAV armed on ground but its installation has been stopped due to various "anomalies". Well, I'm not expecting PMDG programmers to release FMC service updates for each Boeing release, although it would be great and very professional. Let's stick to an older FMC version but in that respect it would be nice to have a fully realistic behavior.So, let's go back to my original question about LNAV. Can anybody please tell me whether or not it's correctly simulated when engaged on the ground? Here we're not talking about MSFS limitations which could prevent a realistic simulation, that's a pure piece of FMC software...quite challenging but still possible.

Very good and appreciated. This is a confirmation that PMDG is pretty much good with 737 NG operations and actual system simulation. Still I can observe the LNAV switch light is not extinguishing when TO/GA is engaged. Can you please tell if this is due to some fault in my FMC setup or is it just an omitted 'detail' of the beautifully simulated AFDS? If so it's not a big issue, the whole aircraft is definitely a top-class simulation but, please, remind to add this little touch of additional realism in the next product release/service-update, if any.

I'm flying with the 738 and trying to make a rolling takeoff from KSEA with full FMC programmed, F/D and A/T engaged and TO/GA mode. I set LNAV on the ground since this is a very common procedure. Everything works fine but the LNAV switch light should extinguish once TO/GA engaged until 400 feet AGL, as per the below Boeing 737 AOM (official document). Can anybody tell if below LNAV behavior is strictly modeled in PMDG aircraft or such details have been omitted?"LNAV engagement criteria on the ground:• origin runway in flight plan• active route entered in FMC• track of first leg within 5 degrees of runway heading• LNAV selected prior to TO/GA. Once TO/GA is engaged, the LNAVswitch light is extinguished until 400 feet AGL• LNAV guidance becomes active at 50 feet AGL"
