Make sure you have your advanced animations section checked in the graphics portion of the settings on your FSX main menu. If it already is then I haven't a clue and wish you luck.

If I may be candid for a moment. I picked up v0.2..........And it is what it is, and for me right now, is doesnt work for squat, BUT, they have made their customers well aware that their will be issues.....to which their are many........and as time goes on those issues will be resolved (maybe). Are they looking for customers money before hand, to aid with financing this thing, probably, Does this bother me.....not really, I was planing on buying both T7's anyway, and for CS to sell me an unfinished product for around $23 (american dollars, not euro) less that when the job is done, Its still $23+/- less than I would have paid, for a finished product, so if it sits in the hangar, and I do nothing with it, then that's just it, It sits there waiting to be finished and I saved a couple of bucks in the long run. For RSR to comment or "bash" CS is akin to Pepsi and Coca-Cola going at it, its business and It was an opinion made. Do I care that RSR bashed CS.....no....Do I care that CS retorted.....no. I have been 100% satisfied with everything that I have bought from PMDG, and am around 70% happy with CS. I will not even begin to go into the debate of which company is better, but I will say that compairing the two is like compairing a Jaguar to a Honda. They both work, and are relieable, but one is just much...MUCH better. I will let you decide who is who. I own, fly, and enjoy products from both companies.....I just happen to enjoy one more than the other. To whom ever gets rattled by my opinions, understand that they are simply MY opinions. I am not writing this to bash one company over the other. I am simply offering my two cents. To anyone that currently owns products from both compainies, you will understand what I am talking about.

http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-brainard-747-0502-20120501,0,5852024.story Not a flight sim post or anything related to PMDG.........I just wanted to spread the word to those that might care. In short, a 747SP will be doing some low passes (1000') at both East Hartford and Middletown Prat and Whitney campuses Tomorrow (5/2/12) with Pratts new Geared turbofan engines. While not designed for a 747, they will be flying them on P&W Canadas' 747 test bed. Im a machinist, and we make samples out of material that Pratt gives us for Metallurgical failure analysis for these very engines. Thats's all...........

Much apprecieated Chris, Good job, and welcome to the forum.

Make sure that the CLR button is not pressed on the HGS control panel on the center pedestal. Go to the center pedestal, and if your HGS control panel looks like this: NOTE THE RED CIRCLE!! Then your HGS display will look like this: If that is not the case, then submit a ticket with all of your information like, order number, name, etc. and I'm sure that the fine folks over at PMDG will be certain to help you out as soon as they can.

I have not had one single CTD with the NGX. I had a break issue.........that got resolved when I assigned key commands for the auto break system, then I click the break button on my joystick twice like the manual says to do so, and bam, autobreaks disengage, and manual breaking occurs. I honestly do not know what everyone is complaining about, I have flown over 50 flights, from 50 different airports to 50 different destinations, and over 30 from my home airport to various destinations and the same thing happened every time, I set up my flight, programed the FMC, took off, and then landed. I read the manuals on how PMDG recommended setting up my computer with the fsx settings, added all of the necessary information to my FSX.cfg. Now granted, I believe that my computer is top notch, minus a rather, simplistic video card, which I hope to upgrade when I have the money to do so, so I really don't know the answer. I run the internet and navgraph nDAC in the background and am constantly switching between FSX and my other programs, and still nothing happens, other than my plane continues to fly in the sky. VNAV......flawless, LNAV......flawless. My cruise phase, decent phase, how I insert SIDS, and STARS, setting up the HUGS, everything, works just the way that it is supposed to. I bought the plane a little over a week after release, so its had a good amount of flight time. I really dont know what to say. For ME, this aircraft works exactly as they have been telling us it would work in the year(s) leading up to its actual release. All I did was read the NGX introduction, every single page, and did everything it told me to do. That being said, I tend to be pretty anal about my PC's heath and do a defrag every day, I maintain my computer fruitfully, and I keep it running stable. Maybe some issues are PC related and not necessarily PMDG's fault. I feel bad for those that paid a good amount of money for a product that costs more than the entire game is worth brand new, but believe me when I say this, It is possible to own this plane, and have it not fail on you every time, or ever for that matter. Trust me. Setting up the FMC properly is crucial, I would like to recant my first statement, I had a CTD once while setting up the FMC, and this happened, during my route building portion. I have the PMDG 747-400 so I was very familiar with the FMC. I dont know what I did wrong, so I read the NGX tutorial, that Ryan wrote, and followed the instructions, and haven't had an issue since. PMDG did a FANTASTIC job with this add-on, and I find it insulting for people to complain for months about release dates, and time frames, and schedules, only to complain about things that don't work. If there is a reason something doesn't work for you but works for another, than it can only be assumed that you, or your computer is the problem and not the software. Now, these statements are MY experiences, and MY opinions, What happens to one person but not another is out of my control, I don't know how anyone who is having problems, sets up their aircraft, or PC. I didn't buy my computer from Dell, or whom ever, I built it from scratch so I know exactly what is in my rig. Boards, cards CPU's etc, and how they work with each other. I would like to finish by saying that I am in no way singling anyone out in any way and am not intending on leading anyone to believe this to be the case. I am simply offering my two cents on the matter. Say what you will about me or my statements, because I do not care, but leave the developers alone and let them do their job, because if it truly is their software's problem then let them address it. Remember, with out the software developer, there is no software.

I love your play-on-words, Joke-Air....Perfect. And the paint job is fantastic to say the least. A batman paint would be legit, but Mr. Freeze......Now that would be the shite, think about it, you wouldn't even need anti-ice. But seriously, the paint job is brilliant. My hats off to you sir.

let me know the next time you want to do this, I didn't receive a PM and had no idea when or what was going down, I'm def interested next time.

Plainville CT, NGX owner.........and DEAD serious about simming. PM me if you want, Im on the forum daily.And Tyler, I live about 1.5 Miles from 4B8. Small World

This is truely good news PMDG team. Thank You.

The sound that you are taling about is the Battery / Ambient electrical sounds. They can be disabled by hitting the Alt key, and at the top of the screen select Add ons, then scroll to PMDG, and under the General tab select *Options, scroll down to sounds and then uncheck the Battery / Ambient electrical sounds in the first box, all the way at the bottom. I hope this helps.

As of right now, I still hope we will push her out to the wide beta team during the course of the weekend, but we'll see how tomorrow's build comes together in terms of "error free-ness"™... We are strong believers that there is no point rushing something when an extra day or three or five will give you less headaches in the testing process.HAHAHAHA, you trademarked error-free-ness.......nice

All the best to you, your family and friends, from CT...

It has not.http://www.boeing.co...l/products.htmlIn fact, they recently, in early Feb of this year, rolled out their 1,000th airframe for ANA. While Boeing is pretty concentrated with full on production of the 747-8I/F, 777, and the 787. The 767 isn't going anywhere anytime soon..........All though they recently moved production to a smaller facility, I think they will still be around for some time to come.Mind you the 747 has around 1,400 units produced......so the 767 is catching up. http://boeing.mediar...?s=43&item=1610http://www.boeing.co...milestones.htmlAll these sources come from Boeing.com
