Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey#Equivalents_for_other_browsers (although I've only got personal experience with using Greasemonkey on Firefox, so I can't vouch for any of these alternatives).

Gents, The Greasemonkey script I created to deal with this issue and described in the linked thread is still available for your perusal. You can easily edit it to fit your personal preferences, down to eliminating the "Back to top" prompt altogether. Here's a direct link to my post: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/405897-click-to-return-to-top-of-this-avsim-page/#entry2657185. Cheers.

I'm not sure if that's directed at me, but if it is: my apologies for creating that impression. No disrespect is intended and any perceived snarkiness in my posts should be attributed to a choice of writing style (or lack thereof) rather than a misplaced sense of superiority.

Let's get this out before Kyle wakes up: the NGX is a complex and highly realistic simulation of the 737, and you can't expect it to operate just like the default planes in FSX. As the posters above mentioned already, there is no such thing as "NAV1" on the NGX, and using the autoflight system involves more than just flipping a switch and expecting the aircraft to follow your planned route. Instead, you'll have to get your hands dirty, study how the flight management system works, and learn to configure and use it (in addition to learning how to fly the 737 in of itself). All this and more is explained thoroughly in the two tutorials (appropriately called "NGX Tutorial 1" and "NGX Tutorial 2" in your PMDG737NGX Start Menu folder) that come included with the NGX software. I'd highly recommend you do these first; feel free to post any remaining questions you might have in the forums. Good luck!

On a 5.1 channel sound setup, the engine sounds get routed to the rear speakers when sitting in the VC facing forward. It's possible that NGX and/or Windows think that you've got a full surround set installed when in fact you only have your left and right main speakers, thereby sending the engine sounds (and other audio emanating from the rear of the aircraft) to a pair of non-existent surround speakers. Check both your NGX and Windows audio settings to see if you've got a 2.0 speaker configuration selected, and not 5.1.

The OP speaks of "chimes", not alarms. When flying at 10.000 feet with the switch at auto, the seat belt signs tend to switch on and off repeatedly as the plane oscillates around that altitude, triggering a chime each time it does so.

Are you flying level at 10.000 feet and do you have your passenger signs switch set to "auto", perhaps?

Don't you have another thread posted already, asking the same question? http://forum.avsim.net/topic/408864-how-do-we-cancel-fmc-entries/

Here you go. Shipping to the Netherlands will set you back a whopping US$ 155 or 171, depending on the delivery service type chosen. I'd expect rates for Germany to be similar if not identical.

As to the cruise altitude changing to FL250: you've probably got an altitude crossing restriction at LOGAN set to FL250. According to the STAR, this is only applicable to aircraft with a filed cruise altitude of FL300 or higher, so you could and should delete that.

Mind telling us which setting exactly, please?

It's TO/GA, by the way, not "to go".

AC power from either the ground power unit or the APU should do the trick and allow you to use the electrical trim switches (provided the power source is connected to the electrical buses). If it doesn't, then it's likely that something else is not configured the way it should be. Some screenshots would be really helpful in determining what's going on.

You need electrical power to actuate the trim wheels with the control wheel trim switches. No power = manual trimming only.

Unless I'm imagining things, it appears the OP has met the business end of the forum ban hammer, given that his account no longer exists. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, please.

Blue screens of death are triggered by unrecoverable faults during the execution of kernel mode code, i.e. device drivers or NT kernel routines, for example. FSX and all PMDG software runs entirely in user mode, and as such cannot directly trigger a BSOD. It can precipitate one, though, by calling driver API routines that expose the underlying fault (either caused by a poorly coded driver or defective hardware). However, don't waste your time tinkering with FSX or any addon in order to resolve the issue; you'll be barking up the wrong mode. In short: a BSOD is always the result of issues with either your kernel mode drivers and code, your hardware, or both. Further information about the distinction between user and kernel mode: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff554836%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Information about analyzing BSOD crash dumps (a.k.a. "minidumps"): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263

If I'm not mistaken this question has been answered some time ago by Ryan, who stated that the sound cue delay is an inherent shortcoming in FSX that cannot be resolved by PMDG.

Did you enable the depiction of TCAS information on the ND by pressing the TFC knob on the EFIS panel (by pushing in on the EFIS mode selector switch)? Do you see a cyan "TFC" label showing at the bottom left side of the ND?

It's a fair bet that a lot of people are going to think that you've somehow recovered the lost footage from the AVSIM Fancon. You might want to put up a public service announcement that this is in fact the interview taken during the Flight for Tony telethon and not in any way new material.

Let's see. If I'd venture an extremely wild guess, I'd say that Jason is going around at the time the screenshot was taken, and the flaperons get out of the way to prevent them from being blown to smithereens by the prodigious amounts of thrust generated by those underslung monsters. Either that, or he has inadvisedly deployed the speedbrakes during short final, causing the flaperons to retract in response (kind-of-source: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/114281/114287, second post). I do not claim any expertise in these matters, so feel free to ridicule my foolish attempt at informed discourse.

From the PMDG knowledge base:

For completeness' sake: the same applies to disconnecting the autothrottle. Click-click, click-click.

Do not despair, my friend. Like you, I detest these floating (anchored, if you wish) navigation elements with a passion, not so much because of their floaty nature per se, but for their tendency to impede functionality rather than adding to it. Case in point: in its current form, this "Click to return to the top of this AVSIM page" bar obscures the very content that brings us to AVSIM in the first place: the text in forum posts, articles, everything. When form takes precedence over function, it's time to take matters into your own hands. Fortunately, in dark times like these, it's Greasemonkey to the rescue! In case you don't know, Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that lets you customise web pages in any way you see fit. It does this by means of user-installed scripts that dynamically alter the web page's content at load time. So, without further ado, I present you the "AVSIM navbar tamer", that will curtail this foul beast by: changing the text to a simple "Back to top", making the bar as narrow as possible, changing the position from centred to right-aligned, thus evicting the element from the forum's text area. You can view and download the script from userscripts.org: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/166235. Obviously you can and should inspect the source code before installing it, to ascertain that no shenanigans are going on (we are of the devious kind, after all). Here's an example of the AVSIM navbar tamer in action. Before: After: Now, if you think this doesn't go far enough and you still feel the urge to slay the offending cretin altogether, you could just as easily rip it out altogether using only two lines of Greasemonkey script code. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader, though. Good luck!

I hear crow can be quite delicious, if prepared properly.
