1. Point taken, the problem is, with any kind of 'real weather' condition, the plane is frustrating to fly. Disabling it in solo flight is a pity but not catastrophic either. Now in multi (IVAO) the weather is downloaded all along the flight, and unless you quit both IVAP (their program) and FSX to disable weather, you cant do anything while you're flying. Now I understand this is a built in FSX flaw, but the result is there and as you point our it does not happen with other planes. Its nice to have a very realistic autopilot but if the result is as such, I'm dubitative as to its use. Maybe the answer would be to include full FSUIPC licence in your products, just saying.2. Ok, yes you can load passengers on the load sheet, and fuel via FS default menus but then again would developping a loading tool cost so much and justify the JS41 to be sold as much as the 744/MD-11? If yes then, I would be ready to pay for it. Now, tbh this isnt that much of a bother. I'm much more annoyed to have to cut down engines and set up everything C&D myself every time I start a flight. If there was a panel manager it would make things alot easier. If i try to start from the C&D flight provided in the tutorial and change location and/or livery my FMS will refuse to load.I know you can't please everybody and have to make commercial choices, but then I'm part of the ppl who are ready to wait or pay a little more not to have to cope with that sort of things. I'm not griping, I will continue to buy your produts for their incredible quality compared to many other editors that I've tried wich are downright theft, but then I think there still are flaws.Regards,Peter

Im not implying that. As far as I can tell, PMDG makes the best payware around. Just saying that I'd rather wait longer and not suffer from any malfunction. I own the 747X and the JS41, so I know what you guys are capable of, hence why this 737 will be a blessing. BUT I find there are a couple of flaws. The strange FSUIPC wind problem on the 744, wich BTW makes it a nightmare to fly on IVAO, and, regarding the JS41, the absence of a plane loading tool along with a panel state one. If the 737NGX is put on sale without any of what I consider issues like those, I'd be even more happy.And thx for the info on the beta team PMDG!Regards,Peter

Thats alot of eye candy for sure. As usual, PMDG makes the best cockpits ever, and prolly planes as well. But tbh, I think I'm not alone to be more focused on the realism of instruments, systems and flight model. Having said that, and even though I am expecting that plane like a kid at xmas, I'd rather wait for a few extra months until you guys have tested it through and through so that it reaches the shelves prefectly flyable with every feature working properly.Who's beta testing PMDG products BTW?Regards,Peter

A320/330/340 with PMDG quality would be just great !I would also love to see old Antonovs planes such as AN-12.Got 744 and JS41 already, both fine products :)All on FSX ofc.

HiConfirmed, exactly he same problem here. Although, once you setup a new flight from the tutorial one and save it, it seems to work as well. You can then reload that flight and FMS will work. Except if you change livery, then it reloads the plane in a different panel state and FMS refuses to work again. I guess we could use a panel state manager on that plane too :( Regards,Peter

Hi,I re-installed FSX recently and wondered what the current best (free) AI traffic tools out there are. I was using World of AI before. It works ok, although I saw a few flaws and installing all the packages takes a bit too much time for my liking.I was curious to know what everyone is using and why. :( Regards,Peter

Hello,A couple of days ago, I was just digging out some old 19" CRT monitor from my basement so that I could fly multiscreen on FSX.My goal was to keep using my current screen as my usual virutal cockpit in fullscreen mode and have the panels I would use in flight on the extra monitor. Although, I was very unsatisfied with the result and failed to find much help online. It was either running in extended desktop mode which, for example, cut the PFD in half on a 737, or in windowed mode which required much window undocking and many size adjustements.I just wanted to share how I finally resolved that issue.First of all for FSX to 'understand' that you got two monitors you gotta properly setup windows. Now bear with me :My main issue was in fact that if I got to windows 'Display settings', that panel would only show one monitor. To solve that, I had to find the drivers for both apparels. Upon the reboot of the machine that panel would correctly show two monitors, for which I could adjust the parameters independently. Thats Windows 'Dual View' mode.From that point, FSX would see those distinctive monitors and allow me to run the game in full screen on the first one and drag panels and views on the second one without having to even use the undocking thingy. Before that when I used extended desktop, going into Options=>Parameters=>Display Settings in FSX would only allow me to choose one card in the device droppign menu, thus limiting me into having to use a resolution like 3000x1200. As stated above, I didnt like it. It felt weird and the front axis was right where the image was cut in half.After having setup Windows correctly, I had a second card in the device dropping menu in FSX, and could adjust it independently, just like on my desktop.I can now fly in fullscreen virtual cockpit on my main screen and drag what I need on the extra one.Hope that helps!Im using :Windows XP (fully updated).A Nvidia 9800 GTX+ with the latest drivers.FSX fully updated.Two CRT 19" monitors
