Not sure if anyone has seen this one: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=99#details The 777 is out… BUT… A bit pricey!!!!

Hmmm... this seems to hit a familiar note.I recently added a post to this forum describing the selfsame thing.Could it be a mx of SP1b and the Delta livery?Will try this weekend and update you guys on how I fare.What I have in common is the exact behavior.Engines are started... pushing the trhrottles to taxi... The quadrant displays forward movement, but no spooling on n1, n2 nor any egt. Also no revving sound. The bird remains toally static... and I also have the Delta livery.

Hi,I have been flying the NGX-800 and it's been very good.Since the latest patch, I can no longer fly the aircraft :-( because my throttle just doesn't seem to work.With the motors running, when pushing the throttles forward, nothing happens. The plane just stays in the same place and the engines don't revv up.All the other PMDG aircraft I own just work fine. Only the NGX-800/900 series seems to have this problem.Anyone out there who has the same issue? Anyone out there who has figured out how to fix it.Tried Google and this forum, but couldn't really find anything.Cheers,Brian

The new iMac's (mine's the 27" 3.4GHz quad core, 16GB DDR3 SDRAM, 1TB HDU/256GB SSD combo, AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2GB GDDR VRAM) are well able to run FSX to a very reasonable degree... I get a good fps out of it and have most of my sliders set to max, with a moderate number of ORBX content, the 747-400x and the MD11 plus some of EagleSoft's GA aircraft running on it and it runs quite smoothly on it... It only becomes a bit painful if there is heavy cloud/precipitation on takeoff or approach into a high density city (like ORBX YBBN)... In those cases I reduce my cloud settings and that works well too.Andrew is right though... I have not seen any FSX rig able to deal with massive CC and all sliders set to max smoothly in bad weather conditions, without ridiculous overclocking.Hope this helps.Cheers,Brian

Anything more than 4GB for FSX or FS2004 is a waste, because, even if they run on 64-bits windows, they will be running in 32-bits mode, because Flight Simulator is a 32-bits application.Your best bet is a good graphics card, a fast processor (quad core i7) and if you can afford it an SSD (Solid State Drive)... Also make sure your RAM is fast... and again, Anything more than 4GB will help you to run 64-bits windows apps, but not FSX.Hope this helps.Cheers,BW

Hi,I'm not sure this is the right place to post this thread, but:Does anyone know if, now that Boeing has successfully tested the 787, PMDG has any plans of developing a 787 Dreamliner FSX plugin?I would LOVE to get it if it were available...Regards,Brian Welch
