Hello, I got this 737-700 Load & Trimsheet when I made a flight on the jumpseat a couple of years ago. Now that I've finished groundschool (and so got the knowledge for mass & balance) I would like to try the Load & Trimsheet on the PMDG 737-700 NGX. But I still need some more information on the PMDG 737-700 NGX model: Basic Empty Mass? Weight of Catering (if applicable at model?) BEM index? By how much does the index move for a given weight for the catering and cabin crew? There are also four holds on the load & trimsheet. I assume hold 1 & 2 in the PMDG model is hold 1 & 4 on the load & trimsheet, just like in CAA's CAP 696 (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP696.pdf)? Thanks a lot, PHXRE

There's something I noticed during climb-out with the 737 NGX.This "problem" was on the previous 737 NG and can be still found within the 737 NGX (even with SP1 installed).After take-off in N1 + LVL CHG mode I select VNAV when the flaps are fully retracted.The FMA says then N1 + VNAV / LNAV path.This does not correspond with the MCP however, because the N1 button is not illuminated, only the VNAV and LNAV buttons.Is this going to be fixed within a new update?PH-XRE

That did the trick!Thanks,PH-XRE

Got it! You just need to hold the keys for a few seconds.Pressing the buttons one or two times gave such small effect I didn't even noticed it worked.Thank you! That did not solve the problem. The solution of Steve Inwood worked instead, altough it still doesn't solve the problem completely (I still need to adjust the viewpoint every time manually).

That didn't work... nothing happens.What command [ctrl + shift + Q] is that? Maybe I have a different combination of keys.PH-XRE

After installing the SP1 for the 737NGX I noticed that the view from the cockpit (not virtual cockpit, just the view with the 2D panel) is pointing towards the ground.On take-off roll and landing I can barely see what's up ahead. Also during climb-out with a pitch-up-attitude of approx. 15 - 20 degrees it almost looks like I'm in a horizontal flight.I've unistalled the 737NGX, deleted all the PMDG folders from the FSX directory, reinstalled the 737NGX and the SP1, but still I get this annoying view.Apart from this I'm also undergoing several CTD's with the 737NGX, but I really want this problem solved first!PH-XRE
