When's it going to be ready? What's the release date? Can I be a beta tester? What's the status? Why aren't you providing updates? It's been a day, haven't you done anything? Why so secretive, this isn't bomb development! Is it ready yet? Is there a Xplane version? Will it work with FS9? Does it have 2D panels? Does it have weather radar? Is it in beta yet? What will it cost? Is the p3d version more money? If I buy the FSX version can I use it in P3D?

Why can't you link to pictures on airliners.net? I must be out of the loop, that seems like an odd thing to get a tongue lashing for.

A couple of months ago my wife and I were sitting in row 1 of an Air Canada Rouge A320 leaving YYZ for FLL. I was craning my neck staring through the open cockpit door while yammering to my wife about all the buttons and switches and stuff I could see on the displays and the flight attendant walked by, she stuck her head in and said something, then the captain turned around and said "You can come up and take a look around if you want". I got to stand in there for 5-10 minutes checking everything out. The pilots were awesome. I don't understand the people going on about security and how a stranger visiting a cockpit is unprofessional. In flight is a bit of a different story, but even then, planes flew for decades with people visiting flight decks and there were no issues, but the risk is greater so fine, keep people out in flight, but at the gate I don't see the issue. Pretty hard to hijack a parked airplane at an airport full of security. But to each their own, I'm glad pilots let people check out flight decks, after I got invited in I will ask to visit every time I'm on a different type of airplane. I've seen the A320 now, so I won't ask again, hopefully me not going in gives another aviation fan a chance to check it out.

I was there in February this year, took a taxi from the cruise port to Maho beach. It was weird standing in the spot where so many pictures of the beautiful 747 have been taken of the years. ​We only saw a few small planes land, the first scheduled airliner was due at 11:40 and it got delayed. We were hungry and the Sunset bar/grill was packed so we left and went to the Hard Rock café in Philipsburg instead. ​As our cruise ship was leaving we saw an Air France A340 on final. It was really cool. ​Very nice people on that island too.

Wow, it took almost 12 hours for a snarky sarcasm filled comment to show up... Things are improving around here from when I used to frequent this forum 3 or so years ago, back then the sarcasm or complaints started within about an hour. Gotta love how some people make it seem like you ruined their lives by starting a new thread to ask a question because "it's been asked before"... I also get a kick out of the fact Dan's very helpful reply which solved my problem likely took less time and took up less space than the sarcastic explanation of how to use search on this forum. Also for the record I did search for "Runways and SID/STAR not displaying on FMS" and "RWY N/A on FMS" which yielded no results. I apologized already for asking a question again that had likely been answered and I still got guff for it. There's so many unfriendly people out there.

That worked! Thank you very much, sorry for asking a question that's likely been answered a million times, searching a massive forum like this is often more difficult than just asking again. I appreciate it!

I bought the navigraph updates this morning, updated to 1604 and now some airports have no information in them anymore. I'm confused, I had a really old AIRAC installation file, 1213 I think so I installed that out of curiosity and then everything came back. So I re-installed 1604 and I still get this error on my FMS. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks. No add-on software other than the PMDG 737 and 777 installed either, default airports, but I don't think that should matter in regards to AIRAC data anyway, should it? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ew6k8tlibi2ygkt/Capture.JPG?dl=0 Sorry for the link to the picture. I don't know why the heck I can't post it normally, I don't know why I can't just upload it to this site and I've been struggling for like half an hour to even get that link to work.

What is equally amazing is why would you care how other people use their simulators. I'm glad you think you're a 777 real life captain and you do everything by the book. I'm sure the empty room behind you cares. ​If I want to do barrel rolls with my PMDG 777, what's it to you?

I spent almost 5 hours reading the tutorial yesterday afternoon before going on the short little flight that I did and spent about an hour just perusing the cockpit after firing it up for the first time.

I bought and installed the 777 today. So far I love it. It's more like my beloved 747, feel right at home in the seat on this thing! I flew one flight from KPAE to KSFO just to test it out and the approach was nice and smooth. Tomorrow I might try going into somewhere with payware scenery. I have FSDT's PHNL, maybe I'll give that a shot.

Well, to be fair it's not entirely realistic to have the pilot sleeping with no one in the cockpit either. If you don't tell anyone, nobody will know whether or not the amber light is on

I just started using it. I only made three changes to my .cfg file Highmemfix=1 in the "graphics" section (not sure if this is needed, but it wasn't present anywhere else in the file so I added it) Wideviewaspect = true Affinitymask=14 That's it. And FSX works better than the boxed version ever did.

My machine is old too. i7 920 at 3.8 ghz, GTX 480. NGX works just fine.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'll ask anyway. How's the 777 performance in comparison to the NGX? Basically if the NGX works well, could one assume the 777 would work well also? Thanks.

The heading was wrong to the track of the airplane. But it's been working fine for awhile now, I don't think it's a problem anymore. I flew three short flights today and they all worked fine. I'm thrilled with FSX: SE.
