P3D v2.5 SLI test results, up 33%
This was the post I was referring to Rob, if you weren't referencing your system I apologize for making the wrong assumption. I experimented for some time and was about to try your suggestion, but then I came across this thread: http://www.avsim.com/topic/470158-does-sli-users-have-seen-less-visual-artefacts-with-35306-nvidia-drivers/page-2. I applied Vic's recommendations and so far the issue seems to be fixed, thanks Vic! I did notice that prior to applying Vic's settings I was having anywhere from a 50-200MHz core clock difference at times between my two gpus while P3D was running. Nothing else looked out of place in PrecisionX, but now with the new settings both cards are in sync all the time and I haven't had a driver crash yet. I've stuck with Win10/latest nVidia drivers and so far I haven't come across any artifacts nor do the gpus get out of sync if I click on the menu bar while flying. As I'm still pretty new to all of this (SLI) I'd like to try and figure out what in those settings made it work with my setup. I'll keep reinstalling all of my addons and report back if that changes in future flights. Very impressed with the performance so far, definitely pleased with my new setup! Appreciate the input! Josh

P3D v2.5 SLI test results, up 33%
Hello everyone, quick question. Is anyone still getting the "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." error? I saw it mentioned back on page 5 or 6 by Rob and not much since. I just did a clean install on my computer with the latest build of Win10 Pro x64, P3D w/hotfix 4, and nVIDIA's 353.62 driver and I can't even get off the ground before the error occurs. I'm running the following: -i7-4790K @4.4 -2x 980 Hybrids in SLI -16GB RAM @1600 So far I've tried to do numerous flights in the NGX/777/AirbusX products at various payware airports to no avail. I've run through the various NI profiles listed throughout this thread to see if they would help, but I can't even get through an abbreviated pre-flight before the screen goes dark and I get the error message on screen. I haven't tried running P3D on a single card yet, saving that for tomorrow as I need to hit the sack. I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions you guys might have! Josh

New Machine Suggestions
William,Congrats on graduating! I hope the bar went/is going/goes well lol. I was wondering what machine you decided to purchase and how it's performing thus far? I too am in school for one more year and since I like the freedom of being portable with the tools to do my work, I got a new XPS17 at the beginning of the year. I thought I'd revive this thread since I am curious to what everyone's input may be regarding using my laptop for FSX. I've been feverishly following the NGX throughout it's development and now that it's released, I really want to get back to flying (used to have FS9 on my old laptop with the 737NG and 747). My specs are as follows:i7-720QM 1.73ghz w/ turbo boost up to 2.93ghz (can't remember the specs exactly)12GB DDR3 RamNvidia GT 555MCrucial C300 128GB SSD500GB 7200 RPM SATA HDSoundBlaster X-FIWindows 7 Ultimate x64 I really like it, it performs pretty well but I haven't messed with FSX and I thought I'd try to get some different viewpoints on the matter before I jump the gun and buy FSX/NGX. Would appreciate the help greatly!

So... About that video we promised you....
I really didn't want that video to end..... Congratulations PMDG!!! The bar has been raised far and above the aircraft's max service altitude for sure :(

PMDG 737NGX Liveries
Robert-Thanks for the response, glad to see that Aloha still makes the list! Yeah, it's a bit of a nostalgic thing for me, my dad was a 20-year man behind the controls at Aloha's 73's before they ceased operations. Flying PMDG's 737NG in FS9 let me keep the legend alive, looking forward to doing the same in FSX with the revamped NGX! Keep up the good work, I along with everyone else here is thoroughly impressed by what has been shown to us thus far! :Applause:Josh

PMDG 737NGX Liveries
Is there a chance that the most Aloha Airlines livery prior to their demise will be done again? This might be a stretch but it'd be really awesome if someone could do the "Wyland Whale Jet" that the famous marine life painter Robert Wyland painted back in 2007. The following link shows a great angle of N748AL:http://www.flickr.co...ian/2337151167/Keep up the good work! All of the previews thus far look amazing!

We got a vid!
Truly amazing stuff PMDG. I think those 8 minutes just about summed up what we all have been waiting the last 2+ years for. Keep up the good work!

Externalities and the NGX
Yes, the 747, 767, 777, and 787 are currently assembled in PAE. The 737 is the only one built at RNT. BFI is where all the final prep work is performed to 737's before delivery to their respective owners and all flight testing.

Some Dirt on the PMDG 737 NGX

Some Dirt on the PMDG 737 NGX
Having just read this has sparked an old question I've had since I first purchased the original NG a long time ago. When AQ was still around, my Dad would often talk about the trips he did and how on the KBUR-PHOG and KSNA-PHOG legs, for example, they would have to perform a "thrust-bump" from the standard 24K rating their NG's had to 26K thrust setting so that they could depart from such short field lengths at pretty much MGTW. I was just curious as to whether this could possibly have been modeled into the NGX as I think it's a pretty cool feature to have to play with. If not, that's fine, I'm just really excited for the NGX to be released to the Flight Sim community!!! Does anyone else happen to know of airlines that might have and still use this feature today? I am aware that CO has recently suspended their operations out of SNA to both OGG and HNL recently, I believe they were using -700's, possibly configured the same way?!?!Aloha!

What Airport is closest to you?
I guess for the the major airport would be PHOG and the minor airport PHJH. If I didn't live on Maui but rather Oahu, PHNL would definitely be my response.From my porch I look right down one of the runways of PHOG and have a front row seat to the arrivals from the U.S. mainland making their approach into PHOG between the two mountain ranges on Maui. Before the demise of Aloha and ATA, 737's were quite a common sight.....sadly this isn't so today. At least Alaska's picked up the slack!Aloha!Josh Pu'u
