Hi guys, I haven't had the chance to buy this lovely bird yet. I'm wondering if someone could tell me if you can undock the PFD, ND , EICAS , MCP , FMC etc on to multi Monitors. ( just like MD11 with undock able panel.cfg file) Yes I know there is no 2D cockpit. Chris

Hi, Yes have read that thanks... Would be interested in any developments, thoughts etc. since then.

Capt. rsrandazzo, I am a long time user of PMDG add-ons. The best in my books...I've watched over the years as computer hardware gets better and better BUT our beloved Flight Sim platforms cant fully use these advances in technology. Its a real pity FSX was never upgraded to take advantage of these advances. So as soon as X-Plane10 went 64BIT I decided to give it another go...well what I difference the 64BIT version made to my Flight Simulator experience. Finally my I7 CPU, 16G Memory, GTX680 in SLI could be put to work! I am sure X-Plane will grow to become the mainstream platform for flight simulation.....Will PMDG embrace this journey with the X-Plane community? Cheers Chris Durney

Dude just focus on flying the real NG and by the time you finish work the NGX will be waiting for you!Chris.D

Ok lets MEL any "little nuances" that might still be around and get this bird online!!!lol Chris D

Hi PMDG Team,Just wondering what FMC software is coded in 737NGX. I hope its FMC U10.8 so we can arm VNAV on Takeoff!!!REF: Boeing FCTM 3.33/3.34"With FMCU10.8 and later, VNAV is normally armed for takoff and engages at 400ft AGL. The use of VNAV for takeoff, flap retraction and climb out is the preferred method of managing the AFDS for takeoff. This provides the VNAV profile and acceleration schedule compatible with the planned departure.On airplanes with FMC U10.7 and earlier, at thrust reduction altitude, select or verify that climb thrust is set. At acceleration height, set flaps up maneuver speed and retract flaps on Flap retraction Schedule."Cheers Chris

Hi,Okay I just did a clean install of W7 and just finished installing FSX with Patch 1 and 2.. I have no addons installed.Ill run that FSXMark11 and post results:Nail Biting: Cheers Chris

Hi All,Just wondering if you guys will be supporting a driver for CP Flight MCP-PRO/EFIS-PRO on the B737NGX?Cheers Chris

Hi I have just installed the 800-900 addition and have noticed that the sliders dont work for 800-900 aircraft. They do for 600-700.Anyone have any solutions?Cheers Chris Durney

Hi Guys and Gals,Here's the latest on my PMDG MD11 flight deck. Lots of work to do!!!You'll notice I am not using the correct DU lay out as in the actual MD11. Wanted to hopefully be able to use the new PMDG 737NGX in this setup. (If DU are undockable) Cheers Chris

Hi guys,Does anyone know if the new PMDG 737NG will be provided with Undockable panels, like the MD11? Im a home cockpit builder so would be keen to get this product if it did :( Cheers Chris D

Hi all, Okay sorry for very late reply.I think I have found problem.....The crashes were happening about 45 sec after Takeoff. I basically didn't complete the Flight plan setup in the FMGC so that it was all connected together in a logical way. and had a early level off at 3000ft. I also think the NZAA and NZCH sids were not coded correctly(on early climb out the vertical side of FLT PLan page would start flashing.)Anyway, I modified the Sids for NZCH and NZAA and made sure all the waypoints connected in a logical way.... Have done a number of flights with NO crash!!!!This is a very smart and technical plane so everything has to been "holding hands" to work correctly I think :( Cheers Chris Durney

Hi all,Im building a MD11 simulator at home. Just brought the Open cockpits A320 Radio plug in play unit. Its a great unit. The VHF1/2/3 work great! But....the units prevents the PMDG MD11 FMC from tuning all NAV aids, VOR, ADF and ILS. and The unit wont tune the MD11 aids either. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?Cheers Chris Durney

Hi, CAN anyone from PMDG help please. I thought this was where you got product support??Chris Durney

Hi, on my last 3 flights I get a fatal error crash with MD11.If you read message it is something to do with Gauge.dll????Anyone else have this ???Cheers Chris DSystem-Provider[ Name] Application Error-EventID1000[ Qualifiers] 0Level2Task100Keywords0x80000000000000-TimeCreated[ SystemTime] 2010-05-18T06:46:28.000000000ZEventRecordID2293ChannelApplicationComputerChris-PCSecurity-EventDatafsx.exe10.0.61637.046fadb14PMDG_MD11.DLL10.0.61355.6249b7c81dc000000500118301b1001caf651bb570510C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\GAUGES\PMDG_MD11.DLL155e2130-6249-11df-8714-aca98dc88a14

Hi guys,Started building a MD11 flightdeck. Thankyou PMDG for editing the Panel.cfg file!!!!Cheers Chris

Hi, and thanks for tips.Just did a 12 hour flight from NZAA-KLAX. NO FREEZE!!! Before flight i updated All MB drivers.Hope I have fixed problemOh just wondering, do you guys fly in Windowed mode or full screen mode in FSX. I usually fly in Full, but noticed if I go windowed the Graphics are a lot sharper. Cheers Chris Durney

Hi Rod,Thanks for reply.I had computer built by a well known gaming computer company in Auckland. I know they did OC my I7 920 to 3.4 and stressed it. How do you stress it?I am building a home built cockpit so use the 2 ATI 5970 for 4 LCDs. I had this problem when i was only using one LCD and different ATI CCC drivers. so I did a complete re install of W7. Still have problem.I know my idle temp is around 35C so will have a look at it under load.I'm know computer expert, but from what I have read on different forums, I think it is a W7 problem. I think MS need to come up with a patch. Thanks again for help.Chris Durney

Hi all,I have just done a fresh install of W7 64bit. Updated all drivers. Clean install of FSX with acceleration. Only addon is PMDG MD11.My spec's: I7 920, 12GB Ram, 2x5970(crossfire disabled),CORSAIR 250GB SSD, EVGA X58 CLASSIFIED MB, CORSAIR HX1000W POWER SUPPLY. My problem is EVERY single time i go flying in PMDG MD11 FSX Freezes. One time I left it frozen to see if it would come right..... well after 2 hours I gave up! I have to do the Ctrl, Alt , Del to restart FSX. I have spent HOURS going over the AVsim etc formums trying to find an answer. I have followed most advance in formums but still FSX freezes. Most of the time it freezes after 1.5 hours. The following is a event log from my last flight; Log Name: ApplicationSource: Application HangDate: 5/2/2010 9:30:04 PMEvent ID: 1002Task Category: (101)Level: ErrorKeywords: ClassicUser: N/AComputer: Chris-PCDescription:The program fsx.exe version 10.0.61637.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.
