Thanks for all, trying to help me. Of course, I tried the tips. However, loading the flight from the start menu directly, did not work for me (everything was loaded, I could hear the sound of the 737NGX, but I did not get anything on the monitor, funny thing). Then I first loaded another aircraft as the default Cessna, in this case, it was the B-747. Then, I loaded the flight, and everything was there, tail and elevator lights worked now, but I still could not switch them off (so the switches from logo and anti-collision lights did not work). Finally, I loaded the default Cessna at Altenrhein (CH), and when it was loaded, I loaded the flight from the FSX menubar, and then everything worked super. Don't understand it, but as long as it works, I'm happy. I must say here. that I have connected the MCP-Combo, the V737 overhead panel and the CDU II (VR-Insight) to FSX. Maybe, everything is caused by this hardware??? Anymay, again thanks for helping me. Regards, Henk Altena

Hello Jim Thanks for the quick answer. I left all the switches, as they were, when saving the flight. Alter reloading, they don't work anymore, switching them off and on, does not bring anything. I did exit FSX, then started FSX again and choose from the start-up menue the same 737-800NGX, and then from the menue: load flight. Reason for saving and subsequently reloading is, that I would like to empty the VAS. The only way is, what I understand, by exiting FSX completely. Henk

Hello everyone When I make a flight at night with the 737-800NGX, and I save the flight, I noticed, that after reloading the flight to continue, I noticed that the tail (logo) and elevator lights, and the anti-collision lights don't work anymore. Is this a known problem, and could anyone help me out. Before saving the flight, everthing was OK. Thanks for helping me out. Henk

Hello everyone I know, this problem was already posted,but I could not find it anymore. I noticed, that the landing-lights of AI-aircraft were not visible anymore in DX10 mode. Somewhere, I red that Steve has developed a fix for this. I can't find this fix. I've a NVidia 570 GPU, and MyTraffic installed on my rig. Has anyone of you the patience, to help me out with this? Thanks in advance. Henk

Thanks very much for the quick answer. Tutorial 1 tells me however that before LAND is displayed, i.e before the self-test, the PFD should display FD. That's what puzzles me.Henk

Hello everyone,A lot of posts and threads have been written about this. Searched for it, but did not find my problem.I want to make an autolanding at LSZH rwy 14 (CATIII). Both NAV's set at 108.30. Both courses set at 136 degrees. After having intercepted the localizer (VOR/LOC activated), a few moments later, I see the glidescope (open) diamond. After the glidescope is intercepted (filled diamond), I switch on the second AP, and as soon as the 737 is going down, following the glide-path, I get Single CH into the PFD. At approx. 1500 feet AGL, the self-test is carried out, and the Single CH changes into LAND 3.What I really don't understand is that I get the announcement Single CH. In my opinion it should be CMD or FD.What am I doing wrong?Thanks for feedback.RegardsHenk Altena

If you have installed the CDUII, using the new VRI-software, then there is that small bug with the CLR key. This is a VRInsight bug!!For example, you would like to type into the CDUII scratchpad a COroute, for instance EHAMEGLL. However, you made a typo and typed in EHAMEGLM. Normally you press the CLR key to delete the M and then the L-key to correct your typo. However if you press the CLR key only once, it does not only delete the M, but the whole sentence i.e. EHAMEGLM, and you have to start all over again.Hope you understand what I mean: Again it is a VRI-bug, which should be solved by VRInsight.Henk Altena

Hi David,Vincent is right. I fly the NGX with the CDUII, and it works fine. There is only one small problem, which is confirmed by Andy: if you made a typo in the scratchpad and you press clear to delete the typo, the whole contents of the scratchpad disappear. Personally, I should not wait for the SDK, because it could take a long time before PMDG give it free for developers.By the way, my rig isn't top of the bill, but I don't have problems with frame-rates or so.Henk Altena

Thanks IFR7700 and Fabo for your answer to help me. .A special thanks to DeadlyInertia for his kind words. My Sunday is good again, Amen. Some people seem to be not aware what the function of a forum should be.Kind regards,Henk

Hello,Just downloaded this (freeware) livery. However, after running the .exe file, I had to put in a registration code, which I don't have got.Can anyone explain this to me???. I like the livery very much.Kind regards, Henk

Hello to all, giving me support.The problem was a lousy USB connection between my VRI MCPCombo and my rig. Using another USB port solved it. My flaps are programmed into the MCP.Thanks anyway and a Haapy Newyear to all of you.Kind regards,Henk

Thank to all for your support and helpful suggestions. I will check every answer, and report back. Merry Christmas to all.Henk Altena

Hello everyone.I fly the PMDG737NGX with SP1b. Up until yestarday: no problems. Last night, I loaded a saved flight, i.e. Tutorial1, 10 miles before the TOD. Then, I noticed, that the flaps were at position 1 (should be flaps up). Tried to set them in the up-position. Flaps moved a couple of times, but finally they came back to the position one. So, I deceided to start a brand-new flight from the Cold and Dark. I could not load the 737-800 anymore, but got a CTD immediately, telling me: PMDG_737NGX.dll as the reason for the CTD. Starting the computer new did not bring anything.Then, I uninstalled the whole PMDG-737NGX, using the controlpanel. I did a brand-new install from the basic version of the 737NGX (without updates), without any liveries, only the PMDG-house liveries. I started a flight, everything did look normal, but before starting to taxi, I noticed that the flaps did not work at all.Could anyone help me. Many thanks in advance.Henk Altena

Have a look at the VRInsight website. They published drivers for the MCP-Combo and the CDUIIHenk

Thank you all guys. I love Madeira. Try also to make a flight from Amsterdam (EHAM) to LPMA.Keep the sunny side up.Henk

I'm not an expert. Try to give some help though. Could you have a look at your TAT. At Fl200, it anyway should be way down below zero. If not, at such altitudes, you don't get enough power anymore for a further climb, due to the air density. Henk Altena

Thanks Jakob. This means, I could make a flight from Zurich (LSZH) to Madeira (LPMA) wihout stop.Regards, Henk

Thanks, but I already had these sliders to the right. I think, it has something to do with my NVIDIA control settings, but don't know how.Thanls again for an answer.Henk Altena

Hello,When I fly over the Swiss Alps at 30.000 ft (switzerlandPro installed), I get very blurried textures of the snowy mountains. Also, the valleys are not sharp.I've a I7-920 at 3.8GHz, 12 GB RAM, and a Nvidia 570.Can I do something about it?Thanks for helpHenk Altena

Hello everyone,I was wondering, what the approx. maximum reach is of a 737NGX-808W, with a full payload?Thanks for an answerHenk Altena

Hello everyone,I make my flightplans with FlightsimCommander. Normally those flightplans are saved with the name of the departure airport, followed by the arrival airport (for instance: LSZHEHAM. The 7373NGX can load a flightplan with this syntax into the CDU under companyroute.Suppose, I would like to make a second flightplan with the same departure and arrival airport, using different waypoints. How could I save such a flightplan, i.e what syntax must I use to load it into the 737 CDU? The best thing should be, that the 737 CDU offers me with the possibility to make a choice, which of the two flightplans, I would fly.Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.Henk Altena

Hello,Really hope, PMDG will solve this 'bug' very soon. For now, I uninstalled SP1 and reinstalled PMDG 737 with Hotfix2. Now, I can switch on the Glidescope, also for every ILS, not in the FMS database.Henk Altena

Hello,Thanks to all for the feedback. It seems that most of the simmers fly with an external framerate limiter. Since FSX has its own framerate slider, I would be interested what the advantage is of an external limiter.And of course: which limiter is the best, and where can I get such an external limiter.Thanks for an answer.Henk Altena

Hello everyone,When the PMDG 747 was issued, PMDG advised a framerate setting of unlimited. Since then I fly this setting. However, in many forums, there are posts about lower settings, which should be better.I really should appreciate a lot of comments on this topic. (framerate settings, and if possible reasons for these settings).Thanks in advance for the feedback.Kind regards,Henk Altena

Hello PMDG,First of all: Many thanks for this update!!! It's a real improvement on my computer (more stable). Now, I van fly from LSZH (Zurich) nach EHAM (Amsterdam), without getting an OOM-CTD anymore. Perhaps there is stil a short freeze above the Netherlands, but that sure has everything to do with the NL-2000 scenery that is installed. NL-2000 is really demanding scenery.Still, I should like it, if the pedestal/throttle quadrant should be accessible from the 2D Panel (perhaps in a future update????).Kind regards,Henk Altena
