I normally don't comment on threads, but I felt an exception was needed here.

Firstly, I commend Aerosoft for their work. It is a brilliant addon that provides quality and simplicity in the same package. Nothing is ever perfect upon the initial release, so it is pointless to expect perfection at this point. Nevertheless, the addon works and flies beautifully. Kudos Aerosoft!

 

Not necessarily related to this thread, but relavent:

I have seen too many threads that end up with 'debates' (and that is the polite way of stating it) that turn into 'one is better than the other'. Competition is a good thing and it drives businesses to constantly improve upon their products, which benefits the quality and complexity of the addons that end up in the hands of Flight Simmers. I appreciate that some people may not want the Aerosoft Airbus X Extended, but that is no reason to condem or ridicule fellow Flight Simmers that have purchased the product. Keep in mind that this is a diverse community with well intentioned people who are here for a common purpose. It sometimes feels that people have forgotten that fundamental commonality.

Awesome idea! That is the best BBJ paint I've ever seen! Great find! The level of detail on it matches perfectly with the level of detail that PMDG put into the NGX

Perhaps you should think about the fact that it's not a non-zero cost for us to serve up unlimited downloads of a 700MB+ file before making comments like this.

+1 This is a business after all! Through empirical investigation, one might discover the reasons why PMDG does this. As always, back up your files. It will save a lot of time and hassle. It's sorta of like writing a long essay or dissertation; You should save a copy somewhere else in case the computer decides to 'go on the fritz'. :)

If anyone would be interested in painting up this one, I would be greatly appreciated.http://forum.avsim.n...the-737-600ngx/I shall leave it in the hands of the repaint gods

This needs to be painted.... I mean... they have the bloody airstairs painted! Beauty!

I have been running the NGX on a Dell 1750 Inspiron without problems. Granted, it isn't as smooth as a PC or higher end laptops. (Which is part of the reason I've just purchased another higher end laptop). Here's my philosophy; If you absolutely must have a laptop, get one. The M18x is nice, but there are cheaper alternatives with the same components. The real question is mobility. I'm typically flying from place to place, and away from home 200 days per year. (If you hate being away from home, don't become an accountant) p.s. Spend the extra money on the extended warranty. Since your on the road like I am, it is critical to be 'up and running' 24/7Good luck with your laptop purchase or whatever you decide to do!

Ahhhh- I read your post too fast and thought you said hours. Yes, it was most likely us- it would have been FDX016, FDX1171, and FDX1526. We all fly the NGX together every once in a while, and are usually flying on the west coast, Canada, or Alaska. Good fun!

That probably was you then. I remember it specifically because the controller gave instructions to multiple aircraft at the same time and everyone but myself stepped on each other in the read-back. I came in last and pretty much everyone laughed at my failure to read-back at the same time as everyone else. Good fun as always!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. It was a couple of months ago.Currently parked for the night in DCA with a return flight to SEA scheduled for the morning. Nothing like a nice long flight, 21+ beverage, and the Super Bowl!

Haha- I only use it on 727 flights. My friend did a FedEx paint for it so I don't feel so bad. I am getting back to MD-11 as primary, but I can never leave the NGX. When the 777 comes out, those three will be my only commercial jets I'll fly really.EDITSorry, I meant to say four including the 747 when it's updated. :D

Just out of curiosity Nick... Did you happen to be flying on VATSIM about 1 1/2 months ago in Anchorage airspace with 2 other people, all of whom were using the FedEx 738? I remember landing right behind a FedEx 738. I was in a FedEx MD-11. As I recall Anchorage center was online.

That will be tomorrow for me.

+1 and Ditto! Hence, ASA2 will be last flight until Monday

In this example: 46N30..43N38..39N44..35N48..30N53I believe they would be entered into the RTE page as: 4630N.4338N, etc...I could be wrong but I haven't done it in quite awhile.

Currently parked at SEA North Terminal, Gate 6Departing at 2:05pm to DCASEA J90 MWH HLN DPR MCW JOT J30 SHAAR and arrival will most likely be the ELDEE5I've always liked these topics

@John HeyeerAn astute observation of AI and it's subsid's. It too is on my blacklist and whenever I meet any Indian people and they tell me that they are going on a vacation, and I ask then if they are going to fly AI, their reaction says it all.They are losing traffic in of all places, their own home patch.

I believe there is a YouTube video of an argument that occurred in Mumbai (correction: Dehli) after passengers noticed that the food served by AI had mold and was past it's expiration date. I'll try to locate the video and post a link to it on here.AI could be a great airline, but they need to sort out these issues first. As always, the toughest part of fixing a fledgling company is in marketing the changes that have occurred. They've done a nice job of updating their aircraft and product, but they still have other areas to work on. All in good time I suppose.Video link:

Air India/ (Air India Express) seem to have had their fair share of incidents within the past couple of months. Lets not forget the Air India 777 that taxied onto the active runway at JFK. It's one of the airlines that is on my personal and family blacklist. VATSIM gets it's fair share of whack-jobs, but most of the people seem to behave them selves. It's also important not to loose sight of the 'fun factor' involved with VATSIM. Even in the RW, especially late at night, I and others have 'joked' with ATC. Not as in telling jokes over the frequency, but just adding a little colorful flavor to our transmissions or radio checks if there has been a prolonged period of silence on the frequency. I remember a late night on VATSIM in LAX where a kid was screaming... excuse me... squealing on Center's frequency. Every time a pilot tried to communicate the kid would start squealing into the mic. It took about 15 minutes to get an Admin to bump the moron off.As for Air India and it's subsid's, they need to get their act together or they may end up loosing their ability to operate to various foreign destinations.

Well.... It's all speculation until RSR makes the announcement. (Personally I'm hoping for an update on the Dash8 project) I very much doubt that it's going to be the release of the T7. Their going to work the kinks out of the NGX before the T7 gets released.Nothing to do but kick back with a cold-one and wait for the official announcement.p.s.Don't remember who posted the comment about "knowing what it was", but I doubt they do. PMDG is like Apple. They know how to keep a lid on their projects, and that's a good thing.P.S. To dispel any confusion; 'weeks' end on Saturday and begin on Sunday. Just posting for the sake of information. ie. This has nothing to do with PMDG and their post.

I would also like to report the same issue. The only solution of found so far is to turn off the yaw damper. While I am aware that it is not the correct way to operate the aircraft, the yaw damper is just far to unstable. I don't recall having experienced this before installing the latest Service Pack. Other than that minor issue, the NGX works as it should. Would also like to add that I have tested this issue and it does appear to be NGX related. The PMDG JS41, 744 and MD-11 do not share this problem.

Could be boyfriends as well.............sweetie!.

Utter UTTER :facepalm:

I would imagine if they were to reply it would be via support ticket if the person has bothered to submit one. That's how you communicate with PMDG. Not by challenging their integrity on a message board. Lets get a little bit more realistic.

A very appropriate response.I have found this thread rather amusing. The whole 'for or against PMDG' attitude seems to have gone out of control.The OP needs to remember that being respectful towards people will be a far more productive way to achieve something.Would it also be possible to leave the 'Troll Spray' and 'Person jumping into Toilet' stuff out? That's just asking for a negative response and does not contribute to this thread in the least.

It's a very accurate review of the aircraft. It's been one of the joy's of my vacation. Learning about the aircraft and reading the manuals has been nothing short of enlightening! I look forward to mastering this aircraft and learning the systems as they were meant to be learned. Congrats Avsim! You guys have an awesome team!

Sorry guys if I appeared to be eluding to severe issues with different weather programs. I was just going off some recent posts that have been made regarding the NGX. I'm really not familiar with non-aircraft based add-on's, other than Ultimate Traffic II.I'll go ahead and purchase both.Again; Thank You for the kind words and the advice. I truly appreciate it! @Tabs (Ryan)- I've experienced the weather issues with FSX. That was one of the reasons why I was interested in purchasing a separate program to control weather. :) I feel like a newb since I've been out of the FS world for such a long time. I'm grateful to see that there are still places that are willing to help us out. Great work with the NGX! Thank You for assuaging my fears regarding the weather and PMDG aircraft, which I truly love!

Hi all! I've been a long time customer with PMDG, and I cannot even begin to describe how pleased I am with the aircraft that they produce for us simmers. Most recent 3 purchases have been the MD-11, JS41, and the 737NGX. Anyhow, I have been noticing different reactions to the types of weather related programs that are available for FSX. I'm far less interested in the 'which program is better' debate; however, I am very interested to know which program (ie. ASE or REX) seems to work best with PMDG products. Some customers seem to have problems with certain add-on weather programs. As a side note; I would like to thank the team at PMDG for inspiring my pursuit of aviation. I remember the day, back in in 2005, when my Dad bought the 747 with the money I had earned from mowing lawns over the summer. Now, at 23, I'm very near achieving my goal. Many thanks in advance!

Out of curiosity; what should one do about that .dll error? I'm just about to purchase the MD-11. Is this .dll error common when installing multiple PMDG aircraft? Thank's for all of the hard work PMDG!

Pity. I had been looking forward to buying the MD-11. Guess I'll just watch Fresh Prince of Bel-Air until it's back up, and have a lovely Manhattan.

The sound set on this addon is one of the best I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Currently I am replying to this post onboard Delta 2119, a 737-800. The similarity with the sound is uncanny. Good job PmDG

Are you guys having fun acting superior to us who just want to know something? What is so wrong about just wanting to know what will be fixed and not?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to know the answer to this question. However, when certain members start accusing PMDG of a cover up and then, in the same sentence, discuss masturbation, I can't blame PMDG for not responding immediately. It's hard to take someone seriously.

I can understand the frustration, with regards to no longer seeing the "bug thread", but to step waaayyyy out side the reality box and accuse PMDG of conspiracy is ludicrous. I have never seen PMDG close a thread just because they didn't want to address a 'bug' issue. I have seen them close threads when the comments of adults acting like children and children acting like spoiled toddlers appear. Instead of accusing PMDG of a cover up, why not just let them do their job? They will get around to it. As for the personal attacks on people.... this type of behavior will not be tolerated on the forum. I don't know why they removed the thread, and I frankly don't care. Wait patiently and you will get an answer when they are able to step away from the 'bugs' that there working on a fix for.
