Just a question. How is it that airliners still taxi from the gate to the active runway by them self instead of using towtrucks to set them of at the runway. Would that not save a lot of fuell and contrbute to our climate?

No one has missed it, i guess, with the PMDG 777, vas-usage has become a big deal. If I am not mistaken any addon scenery, for example an aerosoft addon airport, has a fixed toll on vas-usage. Flying from aerosofts EDDF to UK2000 Heatrow X I painfully became aware of that!! ....woops, FSX says OOM. So, would it not be essential if developers not only talk about impact on framerates, but also the vas-usage of their product? It is a constant value you could keep in mind, if you decide to use one of them. I think addon developers should give this information, not just about fantastic framerates! Perhaps this is in the wrong forum, i leave that to the moderators.... Happy flying, Ton van Dongen

I have followed the avsim forums and the official prepar3d forum for a week now. Conclusion: prepar3d v2 is still in beta-stage, just like in the beginning fsx and pmdg 737ngx and 777 where in beta. (pmdg777 still is) That's the way it has to be, the more people use it, the more the bugs and flaws will come to the surface. It's a mather of time, probably 6 months or longer before most of the problems are solved. Those who use Prepar3D v2 right now are in fact still beta-testers. It's still :angry:and :unsure:and :angry:and :wub:and sleepless nights! :( I decided to stay with FSX for at least 6 months untill you guys have it all sorted out :lol: Then, thanks to you all, I will make the switch, I suppose eventually most of us will. Thank you beta's groetjes TvD

Like I said in another post, some don't seam to realise, that we are still in beta-fase! It's for those who already use prepar3d v2, to give the development team the information they need to make improvements and find the flaws and bugs. You are all "pioniers" on a discovery tour. It's the same journey as we had with fsx and pmdg. I stay with fsx for a while yet, at least for 6 months, untill most problems are solved. Meanwhile I would like to express my gratitude to all those of you who are doing this for me TvD

Let's just be realistic, we are still in beta-fase, and all users of prepar3d v2 are still beta-testers. It happened with fsx, pmdg737,777, prepar3d v1.4. It's in this fase that more and more people are using it, so the development team gets more and more data. It will take at least 6 months before the major parts of the bugs and faults are repaired.

Since the PMDG 737 NGX i haven't flown the default 737 anymore. A while back I decided to give it a try again, just for fun. After 5 minutes I canceled the flight, and promissed myself not to do that ever again!!! greetings, Ton.

Something i would like on the ND display in the NGX and T7,is to keep the heading indicator always vissible. Now it dissapears after a few seconds. There is no option for that in the fmc menu, is there another way to do this? TvD

same for me, The T7 is a great airplane but i think it's a special favorite for those who like long haul flights. With the NGX i think PMDG will never be able to develope another airplane outbeating this one, it's simply to good! TvD

More and more people are using an ipad or android tablet for fmc input. My question is if a 7 inch tablet is to small for that purpose, should it have to be at least 10 inch? Anyone using it? Greetings, Ton v. Dongen

When AoA announced the 737 training package, it was presented as a package that would come out in a few months. I paid for 737 flightwork two years ago,and i am still waiting. Tell me, who waits two years for a product, profesional or not, already paying for it, while the last message about flightworks dated jan. 2012. And now you are kindly asked to order some 777 package!! I cannot believe this.......!!!!

Thanks for the replies, something to think about for future upgrades. Ton

Very curious about this... If I would change to windows 8 desktop with a touchscreen monitor, would that mean i can use the monitor to control the vc cockpit buttons, without using a mouse, you know, like an Ipad, so not only the fmc but every button where you use the mouse? Ton

Also asked in other topic, windows8 desktop with touchscreen monitor, would that mean i can push the vc cockpit buttons without using a mouse? You know, like you can use an Ipad? very curious about this! Ton

any thoughts on windows 8 desktop+touchscreen monitor and virtual cockpit touch buttons, would this work? Ton

Now that everybody is learning the skills of flying the best addon for fsx ever made (untill now) , I would like to know what you people consider to be the best airliner to fly for, considering service for passengers and working conditions for their crew. From all the repaints,for example, I never chose the easyjet or westjet because, if looking at reality series on tv. they seem to tread their passengers like cattle, and the flight crew has to work on extreme working conditions, and more and more airliners seem to lose the ballance between cost aspects and "humanity" So, what airliner would you be proud to fly for, are there any airliners who keep their service for passengers and crew at the highest level possible? greetings, Ton v.
