I received the PDF version on February 6. The paper version has not arrived yet in The Netherlands.Boudewijn Swanenburg

I set it up only for FSX. FSX itself is set at infinite. I run FSX on all 4 cores (I7 950 running at 4.2 GHz now and affinity mask at 15 - could ofcourse delete that). In addition I limit other programmes like RC4 and AS2012 to run on cores 1, 2 and 3. So core 0 is free to run the most demanding threats for FSX.Whith heavy scenery and plane (e.g. NGX and PNW) I actually don't need any limiter. But with default scenery and default plane fps without limiter would jump around a lot and cause stutters. At present I have the NI limiter at 60, simply only to avoid stutters in too easy conditions.Works very well. Compared to the internal limiter it does not reduce the frame rate at all.Boudewijn Swanenburg

For the time being use the exelent tutorial by Trisager http://forum.avsim.net/topic/350242-ngx-cold-dark-to-shutdown-checklist/Boudewijn Swanenburg

I had the same problem. All my controls are normally via FSUIPC. In FSX I have unchecked the "controls enabled". After installation of AS2012 this "not enabled" was changed, at some point in time, into "enabled". As a result the axis assignment was totally screwed up, with two different assingments competing with each other. Flying on AP was OK, but at some point I manually moved the throttle and this was causing the ailerons to move at the same time, resulting in uncontrolable bank angle. After this happend three times I checked the axis assigment on a different plane (default Cessna) and then I discoverd that the FSX setting had changed. It seems that AS2012 modifies fsx.cfg.I suggest you check the FSX settings through the meneus and or fsx.cfg.By the way: AS2012 is simply briljant. Thanks a lot HIFI!Boudewijn Swanenburg

+1Absolutely correct.

Reading User's Guide and downloading AS2012. Realistic flight and realistic weather are one and the same thing.

FS Assistant is again available in the App Store with version 1.1. The CDU option has been temporarily removed pending release of the NGX SDK.Apparently CDU support for more CDU types is in the making.Boudewijn Swanenburg

I cant say I tested every possibility. You can certainly control the FMC. It seems to react fast enough. Have been modifying my route during flight.What I noticed is that on certain pages (LEGS, PROGRESS) not all text is complete, some collumns appear to be missing. It also did not show existing flight plans under te Co-Route entry, although it is reading the correct pages (as evidenced by the PMDG FMC display itself).I emailed the developper. Will let you know how things go.The app also includes flightlanner. Puts flight plans from routefinder directly into the PMDG flightplan folder. In addition it manages all the charts you have in PDF or HTM. I have not used that, as I still have to import my charts via iTunes.Boudewijn Swanenburg

Have just been trying FS Assistant. It is not perfect yet, but works smooth and certainly is extremely promissing.Boudewijn Swanenburg

Well, this is not what I would call a formal review. Nevertheless, if anyone wants to know, I enjoyed the lesson on emergency equipment a lot. It may not help my simming at this very moment, but having learned for instance how fast the oxygen supply will run out when needed, I anticipate I'll have to learn a lot before I can timely handle the emergency when it eventually will occur. Now I have a better feeling also for why we do all those 'silly' checks before we move the throttle forward.With the captains package, I figure it will be less then 1 $ per lesson. What more does one want? Oh yes, the next lesson within a couple of weeks or so. Boudewijn Swanenburg

For the time being this is as good as any, or better: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/350242-ngx-cold-dark-to-shutdown-checklist/ Boudewijn Swanenburg

Thanks many times for this encyclopedia on flying the NGX. It now sits permanently around the corner on my iPad. The best reading while struggling against a 100+ kts headwind from KPDX to PANC. Boudewijn Swanenburg

Without AOA you have a game, with AOA you'll get a simulator! Boudewijn

Hi, if you list your complete system specs, harware and software, including the route you followed in tuning the system, I am sure you will get good advise. Boudewijn

You may also need a powered hub for the USB connections.
