Hi everyone, recently I developed a question on the V-Speeds, especially V1, as it is calculated on the NGX. So far I was unable to find a quick answer. Perhaps some of you know it or can point the finger to where I can find it. During flight preparation V1 is calculated and displayed in the FMC. To my surprise, however, they don't seem do change with the available runway length that is entered on the same page the speeds are displayed. Until now, I was under the impression that V1 is dependend on the runway length. To form a proper question: How does the available RWY length affect the calculated and displayed V1-Speed at the NGX? And while we are at it: Why is it, that in some thrust levels (e.g. 22K or 24K) the V-Speeds will not be calcullated? So far I thought this would mean that a takeoff with this setting was not possible with the given RWY-length available. If that were true the RWY-length is considered, with closes the ring to my first question I'd appreciate answers from the experts in this forum. Many thanks, and all the best, Ingo

Dear forum users,one question that I have a hard time to find a good answer to:What category (A, B, C, D) aircraft are the different versions of the 737NG?What about the versions flying with the short field package?Is the category a fixed aircraft property or does it depend on the final approach speed of the acctual configuration the aircraft is in?Many thanks for your answers.All the best,Ingo(Sorry, I can't afford the luxary to sign with my real life identity.)

Dear PMDG, from what I am taking by superficially following the posts published in the NGX-section of this forum there is a good chance that you guys are rather busy working on an update for the NGX. Something that might be only a little feature but may prove rather useful for IVAO users would be including an automatic command for the IVAO client to activate the transponder when the NG-Transponder is activated. This will certainly increase imersion since it won't be necessary to change application to do so. In case I am missing a feature that is already included (as it is on the MD-11) or how it can be manually set up I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have on the topic. Many thanks and kind regards,Ingo
