I reported this oscilloscopic movement via support ticket on 23th July but not yet answered. It happens very frequently. I use ASE for weather but it really does not seems related with wx engine.. Because I don't use thermal or turbulence options because all I want for wx engine is various wind data. Sometimes it happens when I change aircraft config - for example, flaps change. I believe there will be a fix for this and don't worrying about this much. Couldn't saw this up and down moves in RTM version.

I have GSX but hardly ever use it because it consumes too much GPU resources like a Big airport scenery so making my entire system to be slow down extremely. (3770K, 8G ram, 660Ti) I really didn't see the discussion about it's performance but I have confirmed that I'm not the only one who is suffering with it. All I want is the most simple pushback-only function. No detailed/simple 3D vehicles, No preflight procedure, No audio playback or dance. Just follows the AFCAD line and sets my aircraft on the proper taxiway, and goes away.. I'm not saying that there is nothing needed for immersion, just need 'checkbox's.. as many as possible. B)

Always good to know RW stuff.. Thanks a lot guys.

Thank you so much. Everyone in this forum enlightend me many times. :lol:

I already expected this while I'm posting the question. :rolleyes: haha Yes it can be removed with CLR button, but I'm reporting this for realism purpose of PMDG aircraft. B)

Hello. After purchasing 777 I'm enjoying flights as I had with NGX. Today I tried enter TOGW value in TAKEOFF REF page. But after clicked each V speeds, the scratch pad message still won't disappears. I wanna ask if this is normal or will be fixed with SP1.

I did it for recording video.. it was intended. :wacko: I feel terrible, is my English so bad and people refuse to read? :Cry: Anyway thank you for your info!

I didn't say this is a bug on my first writing. It could be other reason - maybe airac error for example. But if this happens because I changed STAR just before T/D, then it might be a bug. Thankfully remco confirmed this is a bug, so I replied.. though still don't know the article mentions it.. And since NGX has release, I always set my override option to NEVER, and 777, too. (my joystick don't spike. :rolleyes: ) As I say, I was pressing F1 key to force throttle to Idle.. (to recording video), not a joystick spike. You can see the blue arc line stays lower area and only white arc(A/T) moves to the top. Thank you for asking, I haver never seen this, too. :blink:

Thank you very much confirming that is is a bug already known. I'm sorry to all - I wasn't able to find any articles about this situation.. p.s. This article can be deleted, though.

Hello. First, please understand if my post is not appropriate for this forum, since English isn't my mother language and I really don't visit forum frequently. I searched forum and read issue tracking thread but I couldn't find any post what happened today. Here is a video clip I recorded as soon as possible the issue happened. I had to hold F1 key to prevent overspeed and tried to open many page that might be helpful. Since there were many addon aircraft, I never saw this scary situation with any addon aircraft. The planned flight was RJBB - ZBAA, FL380, S/C to FL400. And the route is: RJBB OYE Y39 JEC Y38 SAPRA G585 SEL G597 DONVO A326 DOGAR ZBAA I use Active Sky Evolution and the time of airborne was 05/24 07:30 UTC. After I came back from dinner, the sim paused as I expected and I unpaused the sim. As the wind had been changed, I also changed landing rwy from DOGAR7A/01 to DOGAR7B/19. (ZBAA scenery I used: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/8018/fsx-beijing-capital-airport-scenery/) In a few minutes after the plane started descend, suddenly A/T increases thrust lever to max detent. I was panic but started recording and tried figure out is there something wrong but no luck. Finally the situation ended with turning off A/T Arm switches.. I hope this post is helpful for further improvement of 777 if this is related with 777 code..

I know this problem exactly. Sudden roll just before flare. PMDG support team FOUND my magnetic heading suddenly turns wrong direction, (ex. 360 to 070, etc) so NGX tried to follow that heading. I don't know why, but I'm sure after completely uninstall FSX and clean install, (follow PMDG support page how to) I've never seen it again. I strongly recommend clean reinstall FSX. Wish you luck!!

Totally agree the thing of Easier to use, and one more - Less resources required.I don't wanna change my view with Space Bar + Mouse and center again when I'm busy.I just wanna see CDU with Shift+3. It's way more comfortable.And I would fly 2D panel with 30fps rather than 3D panel with 10fps.

Wish this wired part of fuselage would be fixed sooner or later..Most of time I fly with 900s, it's quite annoying everytime I enjoying the views..

Had freeze right after SP1. (overwritten over previous hotfix 4 installation.)I'd recommend uninstall NGX and fresh reinstall with new installer or previous RTM+SP1.

Hello guys, there must be a similar post discussed with this issue, but I'd like to note here with my case.I'm using i5 [email protected], 8G, 9800gtx+ and most options were set very low. (no autogen, water 1x, no traffic, no ASE, no REX)All tuning for FSX has been done, too. (including aff mask.)I always fly with default airports and the fps always shows more than 40+ (without fps limiters)But rarely, fps dropps about 5-15 only inside of VC. I don't know why this happens from time to time, but I found a fixed condition.Happens once in 10 flights. (about 10%)This fps drop only STARTS WHILE ON THE GROUND. Doesn't matter the airport at departing airport or destination.If there were no fps drop until I started pushback, it never happens until I get landed.I flew so many times since NGX has released, this issue started it's RTM through SP1.Even occurs network unplugged and I removed automatic update and defrag schedule.It is hard to find the answer because can't capture image or record memory status but I'm sure few people reported this before.Wish there would be improvements with SP2.

Okay- Thank robert, all I asked was the answer, not a perfect solution. I'm already in peace with some items you have read about it.But a key command for the wheel chocks were already there since the release of NGX and don't know what is different.And I'm saying not only about Air Unit, but also logical programming error on CDU pages.The Idle Thrust problem.. Yes I learned so many things while since NGX has released and it was a BIG JOY!And I read entire PDF manual at least 3 times. (It took 2 weeks and didn't even run FSX at that period.)You kindly appointed I have to learn more about real NGs, half is right, half is wrong.I would learn as many thing as I can find about real plane. But as a simulation software, it is developer's duty to let end-users can handleit's functions. The PDF manual is amazing, but Many technical questions in this forum prove the manual is not perfect.I'm not telling it's not good, but please don't toss whole thing to users. I'm not a pilot and just a simmer who loves pro-simulation.Basically all I know about NGX is limited in PDF manual. Knowing beyond that is not a requirement for purchasing NGX.Hmm.. It might be seen as I'm upset, but I'm not. I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE ANSWERED MY QUESTION asked long days ago.I'll find more solution for the last thing - idle thrust, and hope someday I could let everyone knows how to fix or avoid that issue.Thanks PMDG team.

First, my thank to PMDG team for SP1.Let me make these concise with images. Many part of this articles are duplicated in the forum, but I built up here for make them simple.New - RA shows -4 instead of 0 while on the ground. It shows 0 correctly when landing, but as nose drops, RA goes to minus value.Fixed (possibly) - Couldn't see this again while testing several times with/without default weather/ASE.( http://forum.avsim.net/topic/346029-runway-flickering-with-ngx )Fixed - selecting SID transition *BEFORE* Runway.( http://forum.avsim.net/topic/344755-minor-glitch-fmc-trans-of-sid )Fixed - Copying custom waypoint. (Not tested but mentioned in SP1 release note)( http://forum.avsim.n...tinuity-problem )Not Fixed - Panel state still cannot remember some parts of panel. (Worked well before applying hotfix 4)- Marker sound does not played when loading panel state saved with MKR knob pushed.- Transponder number and COM freq reset after loading modified panel state. Also two knobs moved to the right. ('2')( http://forum.avsim.n...ing-panel-state )Not Fixed - Key Command binding kills access for Option Shortcut. For example below, I usually press [ ALT - O - R ] to watch replay.But after "O" key assigned for Strobe Light, pressing "O" key do it's action for NGX, and can't use FSX option function.When I assign "V" key, I can't use View option as well.I can accept this if it is FSX limitation but never been able to see a word from PMDG team.Not Fixed - I'm using [ Ctrl + , (comma) ] for wheel chocks. When I remove chocks with shortcut key, it does not applies correctly.First, AIR UNIT still remains and follows NGX even doing pushback.Second, Pushback option does not updated until manually removes chocks WITH MOUSE CLICK.Not Fixed - Flight idle thrust doesn't go down enough where it should be. This is THE WORST thing brings me a headache.Though thrust decreases well, but when I press F1 key (or move throttle to forth and back again), N1 drops 2~5%.This issue causes NGX flying faster than FMC SPD or fly over VNAV PTH. It occurs even with no wind. (clear weather)( http://forum.avsim.n...dle-arm-problem )Well, some people could say it is not important at all but I play in my style and I love using shortcuts.And I'm sure the last one might REALLY ANNOYING who has this issue like me. For now, these are all I'm still suffering with.I've expected PMDG team would fix these with SP1, but seems I have to wait for another hotfix.

In addition, YOU HAVE TO DO CLEAN REINSTALL. (not recommended as wrote in release post, you have to.)It is impossible to set Key Commands with SP1 overwrite. (No EXEC lighting up after key pressed.)

I'm sure it is NOT a wake turbulence because I always play with no traffic and occured several times. (more than 5)This is a link for previously posted one : http://forum.avsim.n...__fromsearch__1Joystick is VERY WELL calibrated. It does not matter which weather condition or airpot you landed.One of this bank thing happend was at default airport with no wind. (I was testing NGX for other functions at that time.) So I sent a ticket for help with the video in the link above, the reason I can only take a movie for replay is IT JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY. Support team found that my heading in ND instantly changed for 5 degrees, but this heavy roll still doesn't make sense.Because the 'roll' happened after A/P disconnected, and EVEN happened when I was landing MANUALLY, too. Support team suggested me it seems my FSX has gone something wrong, so I reinstalled FSX with PMDG instruction for reinstalling FSX.Since reinstalled FSX, I have not encountered this rolling action yet.I also removed this from scenery because it may causes this problem. http://forum.avsim.n...or-fs9-and-fsx/ So, I recommend you who suffers by this problem again and again, just reinstall FSX first. At least it's fine for now. The reason we can't see gauges when we replay would be limitation of FSX. Because NGX is too complex or it's gauges can't feed datas for replay, whatever.

Thank you Paul, I'm sure I saw that but couldn't find the post so I thought it was different topic. That's why I wrote this one again. And Chris, exactly same reason I made this, too :)Almost everything is fine except just few things. I have to wait as Paul said.

I'm using a custom start-up panel setting. It has been set several convenient switches on like before start status.It contains MKR switch, too. After takeoff, I can't hear Beacon sound when marker sign showed in PFD.When I turn the MKR button off and on again, the sound is working properly. There're few switches Saved Panel state cannot load. (trim, com freq)But seems this have to be fixed.. right? - Can't hear marker beacon sound when loaded panel state that has set MKR button already on.

Good hear it is normal. And I saw FMC recalculating T/D frequently but this is a surprise which RW FMC does this, too.Well, as it is in my mind that FMC path is only for prediction purpose and crew is responsible for entire flight, it is okay :) But as RW computers improved, I believe NGX could be, too.

Hi Damian, so the solution is leave ASE alone and change weather mode in FSX to "user defined" mode (as ASE did first load) again?

Yes. I looked closely PROG 2/2 page for wind and LEGS, CRZ pages, Every T/D related values were jumping.BUT, at that point, no wind direction or speed changed. Moreover, I don't think even 100knot of wind doesn't make this.I saw many many times NGX starting descend normally with strong wind..

I'll happily give information for dev team.Actually, I've flown about 10 times after hotfix 4 and catched this 5~6 times. I couldn't saw other flights when it passes T/D.This happens rarely before hotfix 4. I'm not sure it is related with "curve" near T/D though, for the image I linked is happened with this route.RJFF HAKATA2.34 DGC G339 PSN A582 BITUX Y53 GOTLO G585 KAKSO KAKSO2U.34 RKSIFL380, and I always use theese : CI 40, 1/3 Fuel. And ASE. I set clear weather after saw this jump, it still jumps.Every restrictions are not modified or deleted. I follow every restrictions even NO DES PATH AFTER XXX message.No anti-ice(I never use anti-ice.. my shame, but really don't know when to on when to off..) all other conditions were normal. p.s. Well, this is another one, but seems related with this.When I depart with deep curved SID includes (INTC) procedure, the ND circling line is jumping between smaller and larger ones.Eventually NGX draws middle of these two jumpy lines.
