  1. Now that Skyvector has world charts, make your own route. http://skyvector.com/
  2. I might have the wrong photographs, but all the ones that I have use the tail number "N738PM," which is non-descriptive for any airline. I kept most of the old photographs in a Picasa Web Album- Here. The oldest photos by PMDG are not there because they had already been removed by AVSIM.
  3. I won't speak for what PMDG might or might not be able to do. But reflections go in the base FSX are incredibly poor. Go find a lake and look through the reflection for that. Sometimes (or maybe all the time?) You will see a mountain in a forest reflected, even if there is none present.
  4. Instead of using the FMC-based switch, you can alter the tail number of your aircraft. The NGX builds a file for per tail number, so if you use the same tail number it will pull the same data.
  5. I suppose you might not really need to hear this if you are rebuilding it, but I can't "see" the site. It's all black right now.
  6. You can disable the REX Weather Engine on the REX configuration page.
  7. Now if you wanted to be exact, here's the equation: 0.5 * (((Airspeed - Headwind) * 1.6878)^2 / Deceleration_Rate) Airspeed and Headwind are in Knots Deceleration_Rate is in ft/s^2 Result is in feet That is your rollout once the brakes engage, you might want to add 1000 feet or so to simulate the "landing zone."
  8. Loading a flight from the FSX Free flight screen is for loading positions and aircraft. To load the PMDG plans you must do that through the CDU. There is no way to do that from just FSX. Your FSX plans are in " My Documents / Flight Simulator X " (or the like).
  9. If you can see the nose from the flight deck in the real thing I'm sure they would model it.
  10. Or if you are doing a visual approach, you can type in how far out you want the centerline to extend after you select the runway on your DEP/ARR page.
  11. I would rather go for PPI over total size. I had two spare monitors in my house to choose from when I got my new flying computer. The first was a 48-inch TV screen, but only 720 pixels tall. The second was a 32-inch computer monitor that was 1080 high. The difference was phenomenal. On the 720 screen you had to zoom in pretty far to clearly read the smaller numbers. But on the HD-1080p monitor you could zoom out a lot further and still have the detail. So my advice is to go for whichever has the highest pixel count, preferably vertical pixels, those make a huge difference.
  12. There is a very good freeware FSX airport editor at http://www.zbluesoftware.com/fsxplanner/. Download it and you can add/remove/change runway ILS frequencies, among others.
  13. I use NOAA for my winds, http://aviationweather.gov/iffdp/. (PS, when you go into it, always click on the blue dot rather than the number for .pdf form.)
  14. I don't think it makes much difference, you can install in any order. But if I could ask a sort-of related question. As far I know, the freighter and the passenger 747 were released as one product in FSX. Was that not the case early on or something?
  15. ¿Sus monitores conectados a la misma computadora? Si lo están, se puede desacoplar un FMC y lo puso en una pantalla diferente.
