Hi All, I currently have sim audio going to speakers and communications output routed to headphones. As most of us probably do. Does anyone know of a way to toggle the communications between a headset and speakers?? Similar to many airlines that I understand are on headphones for critical phases of flight, but switch ATC to speakers for cruise. Obviously, I’m looking to avoid having to escape out of the flight to make the change. Is there anyway to setup a hotkey? Appreciate any and all suggestions. Mark M

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah. So this was at KISP in NY. Typical runways 95%+ of the time is 06 or 24 for Takeoff and landing. So that wind direction with gusts would explain why they didn’t use either of those two runways. It just baffled me to see them come in on that short of a runway with that much of a tailwind. It was a -700, so ok. The next 737 came in on RWY24 about 15 minutes later in similar conditions.

Hi All, So I noticed on Flightradar24 that a 737 landed with pretty much a direct 11kt tailwind. Why would it do that as opposed to landing the opposite direction into the wind? Just peaked my curiosity. No obstacles from the other direction. Not to mention that the runway is less than 5,200’ long! ??? Landed RWY 33L winds were 15011G23 Thanks, MM

Thanks much Steven! Got it working great now.

Hi All, I am curious to know if there is a way to get just the copilot & ATC voice in my headphone. I wear a single side headphone with mic boom, and don't like the fact that I also get the engine sounds in my headphones as well. To me that's not realistic. I want the engine and environment sounds comimg from my speakers with the headphone solely for communications. Am I missing a setting? Is this possible? My headphones use a usb connection. I'd appreciate a help with this. Thank you Mark

All of you fail negotiation 101 miserably. :lol:

That's what I needed to know. Thanks.

Is anyone using Shockwave3D lights with the NGX? Any issues or performance hit?

Thanks for all the great suggestion everyone. I spent some time yesterday dowloading World of AI and quite a number of airline packages for it and I could not be happier. In the past, I had tried reducing the UT2 traffic level, but was never able to get it quite right. It was always either too much or too little. With World of AI, I have to say that I see no noticeable hit on frames, and I just did a short test flight this morning from KSEA to KBFI, and what did I see taxing at KBFI while I was landing at KBFI but a 737BBJ. One of the packages I installed. I hadn't noticed one yesterday when I flew into a few airports, but I final saw one exactly where one would expect to, Boeing Field! Thanks again for all the suggestions.

I'm running NGX really smooth with all the typical add-ons, however, the on thing that starts killing my FPS is when I run Ultimate Traffic2. I hate flying into empty airports! Any suggestions?

I hear you. You know, i never thought of it that way. That might be reason enough to move it all to the seperate drive. Maybe one day when I'm feeling ambitous.

I just recently re-installed everything ( Most everything) PMDG, GEX, UTX, AS2012, EZDOK , FSUIPC, etc..., and the only thing I did get initially was the crash on exit many others have spoken about, but I did get rid of that with the RegEdit fix. Like I said, I get really great, smooth frames, and the only time that starts to drop is when I start adding in Ultimate Traffic and certain payware airports & scenery, specifically the NY area. So the only reason I would even contemplate re-installing everything on a seperate drive at this point would be if someone told me doing so would most definitely allow me to add that scenery and traffic wih better frames. I'm starting to think not, but I'd like to be wrong. Regards,

What about add-on's? I assume they can all go on a seperate drive with FSX, correct? I currently have Win7 - 64 bit, but I have everything installed to default locations on my main drive. I get great frame rates and no issues, but I wonder how much better installing to the empty D: ( physical drive ) would be. Is it really worth it?

What's unnecessary and childish is when people are attacked for stating their opinion and then others jumping on board.

Bert, Because I don't need too. Apparently you do. If you were stupid enough to fork your money over for a product that wasn't complete, then I've got a real 737 I'd like to sell you real cheap. I just didn't get around to building it yet, but trust me, it shouldn't take too long. Just pay me first. Aren't I entitled to my own opinion? Hey, maybe they will put out great series, but I will wait until everything is complete before forking over my money if I feel it's worth it. They lured you people by saying the rate would go up if you didnt act now. If it does, that's fewer people that will potentially buy it.
