It is modeled. Luke has informed me that the sweep is in, as PMDG completely re-programmed the TERR display.

It shouldn't be referred as Terrain Radar. It's mistakenly named as a radar because it has a re-draw sweep. I still remember the first time I got in a flight deck and pushed TERR. I asked my instructor how come we can activate this radar, but not the radar while parked at the gate. My instructor answered briefly that the EGPWS is not radar. It just uses a re-draw sweep engine to display the terrain data. So yeah... it's a mistake almost all of us make.

Is the terrain display re-draw sweep modelled in?

Hey Captains Update: I just got 2 airlines that will offer me the use of their logo if I pay. Jet Blue and Westjet. While my executive team votes, It's your time to vote. Voting will close at 12:00 noon Pacific Standard Time on August 31st 2011. My team will vote. While we vote, I have decided that it's your time to vote as well. Just PM me with your votes and I will count them and give you the results at 1:00 Pacific Standard Time on August 31st 2011.Your choice, your VA.

I have contact ALL of them to get permission. If I have to purchase, I will.Not to worry. I've got it all covered.

Update- Yes, this will also be open for all PMDG aircrafts and even the defaults. I just mentioned the NGX since this post is in the NGX section. Our voters will vote on the following airlines: Since I'm from Canada, there will be Air Canada and Westjet.From Europe: Swiss air, KLM, and British Airways.From the United States, there will be: Alaska Airlines, Southwest, and Jet Blue. The results from our voting will be announced shortly. Since I'm already part of Virtual Alaska Airlines, there will be little chance that ASA will be voted. I am assuming that our voters will vote twice, once for the country or continent, and once for the specific airline. We have 17 voters, so there will be no chance for a tie. Looking forward to the sign ups via PM!

Hey Captains There will be a Virtual Airline avaliable soon for NGX pilots and the airline will be announced after a team votes. If you would like to be part of the new staff and fly your NGX in this VA, PM me with your full name, an email I can contact you at, and what staff position you would prefer.I look forward to be working with you guys.

Hi Captains, I'm starting a Virtual Airline and I need staff to help me run it. Please PM me if you would like to join.

Hello Captains I am starting a virtual airline, Westjet Virtual. I have already bought the domain name and I am waiting for activation. As you all know, a Virtual Airline needs staff to run the VA. If any of you would like to be a part of my staff, please PM me with your full name, email, why you want to join, and what position fits you the most. I am the President (CEO) and Webmaster of this VA. I need a Vice President, Flight Ops manager, Fuel and Payload manager, Flight Scheduler, Route manager, Assistant Webmaster, and an Airline Operations Manager. That is 7 spots open for grabs. When you qualify, you will be getting an email with the list of the selected staff. Only 8 members will run this VA. Myself and 7 others. I hope that I will get some applications. Thank-you for applying! I will get back to you all with an update shortly, and if you are a webmaster, I will get you admin rights to the site. Thank-You all. Henry

Not really on topic, but are you a real world airline pilot? Thanks. I'll take your advice for the AUTO!

The way displays draw. ........Displays draw. Hmm. (thinks for a while) Whoa!!!!! Are you .... Could you..... Are you saying....... Terrain display... update sweep.......... yes!!!!!!!!! Is that a hint that PMDG is considering to put in the ND terrain display update sweep option?

Since you haven't installed any hot-fixes, try installing the latest hot-fix.

I was looking at some pictures that I took onboard a 737 when I noticed something about the EGPWS that I think we should all be able to use since we got addons like OrbX, FSDT, or something similar.PMDG, in a future service pack, can we get the RAAS runway awareness system on the NGX?

Pressing Shift+E+2 will only bring up the panel that allows you to dim or brighten the displays. It won't do anything else unless you delete that keyboard command.

You guys are missing the most important fact. PMDG has informed me that the pitch is the key to autopilot engaging. If your aircraft is pitched up too much, CMD A won't engage. Hope that helps!
