What's missing in my opinion: * realistic water physics * proper engine simulation, especially for pistons and turboprops (turboprop simulation is still very flawed. E.g. beta range and reverse) * turbulence and the impact wind and weather have on the aircraft * better helicopter flight dynamics (still many flaws) * improved ground physics In the graphics department: * better night lighting * support for community made water masks (SDK) General: * Controls UI. Ability to set up controls like in XP, where you can define various profiles and set up things like beta and reverse. You CAN set up profiles in MSFS too, but the UI is not exactly user friendly and intuitive.

If you're looking for the best realism, PMDG is by far the best and most realistic.

A 757 from PMDG would be very welcome

It's hardware related. Had the same problem on my old computer. Upgraded with a better CPU and graphics card and I don't have the issue anymore.

I had some problems with the to/ga button recently. To/ga would not engage for take-off no matter what. But turning on both flight directors (cpt and fo) seemed to fix the problem for me. For me it works like a charm now. Just a suggestion worth trying.

I've already done that, but unfortunately it doesn't make much difference. If I set up a button via FSX, it will be overridden by the NGX when you have it loaded.

Here's the picture requested of my NGX ready for departure.

As I said in my post I already tried to map a key to the AT toggle and toga mode in the FMC, but still no luck unfortunately. Strange actually. Mike:Sounds like a good idea. Just gonna fire up FSX first, and I'll be back with a pic :)

Totally agree! Armen did an outstanding job on the NGX sound set. It's absolutely amazing, unlike any other product. I've tested a lot of sound packages, both freeware and payware but no one gets even close to this. Like I said in a previous reply, I just love to tune up my 5.1 speakers and apply take-off thrust in the NGX :D It's music to my ears! :PMy neighbors must think I'm crazy, haha.

Okay, I just checked the manual override option in the FMC, but it is set to NEVER. So now I'm all out of ideas.

sarahguiney,Thanks for the FMC tip! I'm definately gonna check that out. No, it's 40% usually, but I've heard of companies who use 60%. But 60% is usually for bigger jets like the 767 etc. I think the reason for that is to prevent a compressor stall.

Yes, both flight directors are both on.

According to the manual, you should flare the 737 at 10 feet agl. The reason for this is because the 737 is a very slippery plane, so if you flare any higher you're gonna float half down the runway. You also retard the throttles at this altitude. Hope this helps, and happy landings! :)

Hi!Been flying the NGX since it was released now flawlessly. But I have one problem. The autothrottle. I can't get the TO/Go around to work. I've set up the FMC and airplane properly, autothrottle engaged, but when I advance the throttles to 40% for take-off and push the TO/Go around button nothing happens. I've even tried to assign a keyboard button for the TO/GO around mode via the FMC, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong here?

This actually happens to me as well when I'm on the ILS into ENGM. It's strange, because I'm flying the ILS perfectly, and the surrounding terrain is quite flat. So it shouldn't be an issue.
