Except for the fact they first revealed it to us all in FSX.....

So, I guess a FSX --> XP10 --> FSX/P3D port?

I believe development started in FSX, but was ultimately finished in XP10. It was actually brought to attention in a recent post if you can bother to find it. 

I'd love to see the NGX rendition in X-Plane. That would be lovely. 

For Prepar3d, there is no B727 or B737-200 that comes even close to the level and quality of PMDG...

Coincidentally as we speak FlyJSim just released a video promoting their 727 'v2' which will be available next week for purchase. 

Hey Teo, 

I do not believe PMDG has intentions to continue along the lines of retro aircraft the DC-6. They made it primarily to aid their transition into X-Plane. Modelling such an aircraft with not much system integration etc was a huge advantage on their part. 

I am speaking from personal opinion, but X-Plane 10 has a really well modeled 727 and 732 Twin Jet from FlyJSim. Both of these airliners are fantastic additions to the simulator. IXEG's 733 is also a step up in terms of system integration from the era of the Twin Jet and the 727, but definitely still a notch below what you'd expect from aircraft such as the NG lineup.  

Technically it is 737ngx v3. As the v1 had been for fs9 and then the ngx update for fsx/p3d

 

same for the 747 that is called v3

The 'NGX' is a completely different product to the 'NG' that was in FS9. 

The 'NGX' is version 1 of this airplane, and I'm sure any modifications to the existing NGX will deem it version 2. 

I can share all of your experiences. Definitely a breath of fresh air indeed! 

With regards to the interface, I agree - it definitely is rough around the edges but once you understand what you're doing it's as intuitive as it could be. 

Ah okay, that is clear - it does make sense. 

Thanks for the response Rob. All the best with tomorrow's release.

Good day guys, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday.  :smile:

I have been an X-Plane user now for some time and I am extremely delighted to be alive to witness PMDG's ventures with the sim. With the impending release of the DC-6, I am now curious about PMDG's potential future on the platform. Although I have read countless times that the company indeed plans to continue on the platform, I am more interested in feasibility. 

What hurdles have the team overcame in their endeavors? Is it a drastically time consuming process to develop for both platforms simultaneously? How different has the development process been for both platforms? 

I'm also interested in knowing if the team sees parallel (with regards to time and product type) development for both simulations in the upcoming years, or should we expect more of a branched approach, where porting a product from one sim to another is the more efficient route.

These questions are particularly interesting to me since I have spent some time developing my own addons in X-Plane with more efficiency than other sims, such as FSX and its derivatives.  

Thank you in advance,

How has the development on the X-Plane platform been for the PMDG team? I know before setting out on this endeavor the team expected some difficulties (or perhaps, challenges when working with the unfamiliar platform) - how were they handled, and do you see the XP platform being a feasible platform for development in the future? 
I am very interested as I have made the switch to X-Plane some time ago, and I cannot look back now. 

 

 

but reality sets in and I just sit back

That line gave me chills. Imagine having to accept your fate like that in real life. After going inverted without control surface operational there's not much you can do, imagine just giving up like that in real life guy? That's chilling. 

Manual A/T override is set to NEVER

Yep, happened to me too.

 

It all transpired rather quick so didn't notice the A/T mode annunciated, so will check again on next flight. Think I was in speed mode though. A/T just let the speed bleed off, and didn't respond. Had to disengage and go to manual.

Yup SPD Mode was active for me too (highlighted on the PFD in pic), still no response.

Hi Mr. razb787, you didn't specify specifications of your PC, but I'll assume you're using an NVIDIA card.

If you are, take a look here to optimize FSX graphically.

Also use the Anisotropic filtering in the Display settings of FSX. 

This happened to me the other day. The A/T did not respond to the decrease in IAS and did not bother to try holding the speed set in the speed window, which was VREF + 5 knots.

It remained at idle while approaching the amber line, I think it was because of changing wind during the final. 

EDIT: the A/T never commanded idle thrust, but it seemed to maintain about 50% N1 regardless of a decreasing IAS

So, I responded by deactivating A/T which isn't recommended during normal landing procedure, and manually controlled throttle input for the last portion of landing;

I can confirm no crashes still after this, 
Did LAX - LHR as well as JFK - LHR all without issue!

Yup, if the runway's really wet then you're doing something right Peter. 

Better plan ahead and stay protected while doing your discharge, or was it dispatch, something like that.

wait which forum am I on again  

Well guys, reporting back 6 hours into my haul from LAX to LHR, no crashes, (I did crash on the ground but that would be due to FRAPS)

Hey there, your post will probably be deleted unless you sign your name so I am URGING you to do it now, its a requirement on this section of this forum my friend, please I do not want to see your post go to waste. Anyway, what are the details of your crash?

I was running into a crashing issue, not fatal error that I managed to fix

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/447889-microsoft-flight-simulator%C2%AE-has-stopped-working/

Hey guys after days of frustration, I think I have potentially solved an issue that has been bugging SP1 and my 300ER. 
Since upgrading to SP1/300ER I have not been able to complete a whole flight from start to finish, without FSX crashing. I have never experienced this crash before, even after doing 12 hour hauls pre SP1. I have tried rolling back drivers, removing my overclock, removing bloatware from my motherboard manufacturer company, increasing and decreasing page file sizes, monitoring virtual memory usage. Nothing working and so I figured I'd just wait it out.

Now I am not sure how much of you experience this issue, but I have seen a couple posts on Facebook sites regarding this particular issue. Its not an OOM, or a fatal error, as reported in the Title Microsoft Flight Simulator® has stopped working.

Nobody seems to have a fix for the issue, so I did my own digging in event viewer etc, did my own Google searches etc, and was led to the assumption that DEP (Data Execution Prevention) could be a possible culprit, and that some sort of negative feedback was occurring durring flight where DEP falsely terminates the FSX process.

I kept obtaining an error report that looks similar to;

Problem signature
Problem Event Name: BEX

Application Name: fsx.exe

Fault Module Name: StackHash_xxxx

 

Apparently StackHash being identified as a faulty module was somehow directly related to the DEP logic,

After some reading I stumbled on a post made by @firehawk44 (Many thanks, you've been a major help thus far.) long story short, MSFSX requires DEP to be turned on for some reason, so trying THIS method will not allow it to be turned off for fsx.exe.

However some manual cmd prompt inputs must be made, I will provide a link for this. After doing this, and a success is returned, perform a reboot and DEP should be disabled. 

I have provided links in this post for you guys to read up more on the real issue and for you to do extra reading if you can further help the situation.

So I will like to know if this helps with the CTDs after the SP1 update on your end. So far I have done about 5 hours of flight straight (HNL-LAX) without experiencing a CTD, where before I got one as early as 2 hours into the flight. 

Maybe its just my luck today, so I would love some confirmation and feedback, NOT sure if this is a PMDG issue or just FSX being, FSX, but I have only encountered it so far using the Triple 7. Good luck guys, thanks for your time!  B)

I do not see the image of liveries in download Manager(((

The thumbnails take time to load, are you giving them enough time?

In my opinion, it was the opposite in SP1, the aircraft would overshoot the turn the majority of the time...

The real question is how'd you zoom in! lol...

I don't own the ER yet but have you tried selecting the Nose wheel cam first, then zooming out? A while frame should appear around it once its selected...

I'm so confused right now...

 

It's been known for a while that the taxi cams - when activated - will kill your frames (loading a model three times, as the cam system does, will do that).  What - step-by-step - are you doing to cause this?

I do not believe his question is pertaining to operating the taxi cams, I think he is stating that upon zooming into the physical mounting locations of the cameras on the aircraft, he experiences FPS loss. 

To be honest, not sure why we will zoom into the cameras on a daily basis, but I suppose he is just looking for confirmation of such issue. 

And here I was thinking that the fact the wings bounce during taxi was more than enough, you guys never fail to amaze me. 

I forgot to add Im waiting for a reply via mentioned Ticket....
