Thank you very much!

I was wondering if anyone had, or has made, a different or consolidated set of printable procedures for the T7 besides the one that comes with the FCOM, as the one in the FCOM is un-printable and has way too many variables for planes and configs that we don't even have (until we see the -300ER and so on.) It's kind of a pain having to scroll through pages upon pages on my iPhone because there are 2-3 pages of engine start procedures when we only have the GE90's. I looked on Avsim but I've really only been able to find procedures for the old PSS, which has much different (and IMHO, incorrect) procedures than the actual FCOM calls for. Do I need to wait for FS2Crew to be released? I know they'll at least have something. Or, god forbid, do I need to make my own? I unfortunately don't have the time for that. Thank you.

I'll have to check that out.

JS4100. If you use the loadsheet to fill every seat on the plane he's near the wing on the right side.

Well this is... Interesting. I was flying around with the J41 today and I had a full load, every seat filled. I must have looked at all the passengers tons of times over the years since I've owned the J41, but I never noticed this guy... To anyone who's familiar with the popular Valve game Team Fortress 2 will instantly recognize this face, and especially those glasses. Coincidence? Probably. I'm going crazy? Most likely. Though I'd like to believe for whomever was in charge of putting/making the skins on the passenger models, we know what their favorite class was. :wink: Has anyone else noticed this and I'm just late to the party?

I return with (mostly) good news! Just did a flight from Heathrow to Dublin and the sound issue I had a month earlier didn't occur, even when I was switching screens and everything. My only issue was that right in the middle, FSX decided to crash. I'm /pretty/ sure this was the J41's fault, I'm having a lot of issues with it. The IAS hold makes the plane go out of control and FSX almost always crashes... I think I might have accidentally touched the "Headset" button a bunch of times or there was an issue with the sound driver that it decided to use and it just got confused. I touched neither and it worked perfectly. Appart from the crash.

FSX's DX10? Off, definitely. AFAIK it wasn't even finished or something, more like a "Here's what it will look like when it's released!" sort of thing, so it takes a huge chunk of resources for not a lot of results. I actually did just recently re-install FSX and I haven't done that yet.

I've heard that ADF2 is not modeled in FSX or something weird like that? I can't confirm that so take it with a grain of salt. This is why the ADF2 on the 737NGX have little "INOP" stickers on them.

It's a 2GB card. The second moniter was one that wasn't being used anymore so I set it up so I could have Flight Sim related apps (TOPCAT and whatnot) and Firefox on the other screen and still have FSX flying on the main screen. I don't remember if it did, but I'm going to assume that it didn't. I didn't set it to bypass that waypoint and I didn't have a SID set. It should have been DIRECT to MADEP on the CDU.

It's actually the first rig I've ever built. Learned quite a bit from it.

Thanks for the response! This has happened before and much more frequently on the MD-11 actually, but I think this is the first time with the NGX. Maybe there's something with the VOR that's a bit wonky. I don't think it's the AIRAC files but I'm not sure what else that could be. Yes, this is not the dreaded S-turn issue as I wasn't slaloming back and forth (on an unrelated note I've, thankfully, never had that issue on the NGX, but it plauged me for a very long time with the MD-11), but rather it just happily went off course until the VOR came up and it decided it needed to be in the correct position to fly over it. It's funny that the wind is even there at all, as I'm so sick of FSX's wind issues that while using REX Essentials I've just simply turned off real-world wind, so why there's any wind at all is a mystery. It just likes to come back randomly on different flights.

Alright. Clearly this is not a shortcut, as now I'm in a fairly heavy turn to get back on the path to hit MADEP.

Hi all, I had a question. I'm flying Auckland to Sydney, I just took off runway 5R and I'm direct to MADEP. After MADEP there's a slight left lean to the next waypoint, but right now the 737 is very slightly heading more left and not following the LNAV path to the waypoint MADEP, but instead it almost looks like it's going to go past MADEP on the left, but still close enough that it will still hit and continue the path on the other side. Picture of my ND right now. I wouldn't normally think anything of this considering the tailwind, but the deviation number on the bottom (1.8L) keeps getting higher as the plane is dead-set on not following the LNAV path exactly. So my question is, is the FMC cutting the corner by just a bit to save time/fuel? Or is this some sort of error? I have a Cost Index of 29 at the moment. I didn't think the FMC was smart enough to do something like this on it's own, if this is normal and the FMCs' doing.

Yup, it says my current version is up to date.

I believe the newest one, the config manager says version 1.0. I just bought it so it should be the newest, and there doesn't seem to be an update for the Button control version (only Voice).
