just purchased the CRJ nextGen and must stress my complete disappointment with the product. The instrument panel functions are similar to the old original flight simulator ones brought out by Microsoft way back in the 1960's . Half of them have no function when they do work no indication that they are working? Nowhere near the standards of the PMDG or Q400 from majestic. In my opinion a waste of money. recommend to steer well away from this one. Mel EGGD

Need some guidance. Have read the manual in some detail, but cannot get RC 4 to work. I am flying the PMDG 737 and saved the Fp in both fsx and pmdg. After starting and positioning acft at gate I load the RC4 and see the red box on the left of the monitor with the next way point listed, atis frequency and clearance (2) but nothing happens...no sound is heard, no reaction from the keyboard, then cannot get RC4 to full screen again to see what the issue is and to run the log file?? I am running on windows 7 v64bit on dell dimension (no capacity issues here) I tried testing the voices on the tab but nothing is heard, except to see the message "programme not responding" which hangs. The only way to get rid of that is to use the ALT+DEL option. I have tried uninstall and re-install but nada! B) please advise what to do thanks Mel EGLL

Currently en route EGJJ EGGP unable to obtain opusFS reports message ' no weather available at present' Is the server down? Thanks

Want real weather, just discovered a real time weather engine, although slightly expensive but really worth it. Search googlenfor Opus weather engine. Mel

Just read the latest Boeing quarterly delivery report and noted that Boeing has already 200 orders for the MAX. any ideas what the improvements on the NGX are? thanks Mel

Interesting> i followed the instructions perfectly and find that I am now unable to scroll through the various windows any longer. Just the captains VC view. are there any specific settings that will enable me to scroll using the "A" key to the second officers view? thanks Mel

In downloading the latest Navigraph set for the NGX the old FADN airport(including stars etc) have now been replaced by the new airport FALE. Does anyone know whether it is possible to add "new" airports to FSX and if so how would that be accomplished? all the best Mel

thanks for the advice, will give it a go.

Is there a switch somewhere to light the tail during night flying? not found one no matter how much reading I have done. second question: there is a new airport in Durban South Africa (FALE) which is now on the fms and the old airport (FADN) no longer appears. Is there a way to add this airport to FSX? appreciate your input. cheers Mel

Peter if you are still waiting for a solution this is what I did. open the cfg file. head down to the following [CameraDefinition.011] Title = "Overhead Panel" Guid = {B7032D83-7C77-41a1-96D0-C1D907B36D1E} Origin = Virtual Cockpit MomentumEffect = No SnapPbhAdjust = None SnapPbhReturn = False PanPbhAdjust = None PanPbhReturn = False Track = None ShowAxis = FALSE AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 0.75 SmoothZoomTime = 2.0 ZoomPanScalar = 1.0 ShowWeather = Yes XyzAdjust = TRUE ShowLensFlare=FALSE Category = Cockpit PitchPanRate=20 HeadingPanRate=60 InitialXyz=0.425, -0.58, -0.5 InitialPbh=-59.0, 0, 0 HotKeySelect=2 I added the line in red above and it is activated by the F10 key. you have to use F9 to get back to the virtual cockpit. hope this helps Mel

peter apologies for not responding but I have not been on this topc since my last post. I will let you have the details tomorrow when I am at my desktop computer. travelling at the moment. mel

Kenny thanks for this tip. I will try it when I get back home this weekend. cheers

Does this model have cabin lights? if so where does one switch them on? Had my first night flight EGNT_EGNS but the pax sat in the dark the whole route :Waiting: thanks

yep, flaps 30 fms indicated speed vref 125 but that was way to slow sinking feeling

interested in understanding what speed should be used during the final approach. recent flight into EGJJ on rnwy27 (BMI Baby 600) the fms indicated 126@30deg flap.. using this I ended up "sinking" along the last 1 mile of the flight with the Angle of attack approaching a full take off view? added throttle to around 150 and this seemed to settle things down and enabled a safe landing. Interested in hearing about the "correct" speed on this critical part of the flight. thanks
