Yeah flightaware can act funny sometimes. One time it claimed a flight from london to houston was 20 minutes.

Okay somehow this 777 flew 11,518 miles. how s this possible? http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE215 Boeing 777-300ER (twin-jet) (B77W – photos) Speed Filed: 444 kts (graph) Altitude (graph) Distance Direct: 8,335 sm Planned: 8,393 sm Flown: 11,518 sm Route GEG FMG J7 REYES V107 FIM SADDE6 Maybe a flightaware glitch?

Yes that as well, and I doubt those flights are very empty

Hello everyone, I haven't been on the forum in a while, the 777 is looking awesome! I'm confused about the range of the 777 though... For instance, I live here in Houston and Emirates flys a 777-300ER from Houston to Dubai nonstop. The maximum range for a 777-300ER is 7,930 nmi. If you look on flightaware: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE212 its a 8,300 nmi flight. So what am I missing here? Do some airlines mod their 777's with extra fuel space for extremely long range flights or something? It's clearly out of the 777's range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777

Ahh! Yea that's it Civa your the man! thanks

I Haven't been on this forum in such a long time but I'm trying to find a link rsrandazzo posted a while back. It was a update to all the navagation data in FSX, it corrected some points that were off by miles. I can't find anything about this anywhere because I forget what it was called but it was a major FSX update and I wish I could remember what it was. If anybody here knows what I'm talking about help me out!

how do people know how many hours they have?

Hey Teofilo,Here's my specsi7-950 (not overclocked)Nvidia GTS 25012GB RAMI've spent over a year tweaking a million things in FSX to get it to run smooth. Personally I think it's the worst ever designed program with so many limitations but I still Love it. I hope flight will be better

Hey Johannes,Thanks! The 757 I used in the video was the quality wings 757 with the AA livery. But the rest is the PMDG 737 NGX!

Thanks,I used FS Recorder EZCA After Effects and edited in Sony VegasAaron

Hey Bill thanks!The first song is "Time" from the Inception soundtrack and the second song is titled "Vegas" from the hitman blood money gameCheers!Aaron

That is correct, the window is actually a picture I took while I was on my last flight just for this purpose. I thought... Hmm it would be cool to use this in FSX. Everything was made using FSX and After Effects. Lens flare's, rack focus, dirt, grime etc... In my next vid I plan on motion tracking some cloud shadows... Should be fun

Hey gents,Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm glad you guys like it!

Short film for all you NGX lovers out there I just made. Check it out

As far as passengers not noticing steep descents is not true. I fly 4 to 5 times a month on commercial airliners and I can tell when we are in a steep decent even if I'm watching a movie or listing to music, you have the feeling of leaning forward like your diving into the earth and this usually never happens sure enough on my last flight from KJFK to KIAH It happened and it was uncomfortable the other passengers seemed to notice as well. Sure enough I got on flight aware after the flight and saw that we hit a 3,900 fpm descent for a minute or so but I definitely noticed. If you look at flight on flight aware for 737's the most VS they usually get is 2,800. But certainly not 6500!

No I didn'tThanks

Hi everyone, I've had this problem for a while with my NGX. When I take off and then engage autopilot with VNAV and LNAV engaged my plane gets really violent and shoots up into the sky, sometimes at 8,000 fpm it pitch's up as high as 20 degrees, clearly this can't be normal. During decent it's not as bad but it will pitch down to 10 degrees and go for a 6,500 fpm dive to achieve its decent path! I've tried every route, double checked my sids and stars to make sure everything is programed into the FMC properly but the same thing happens. I Just wish it would start my decent sooner instead of shooting me into the earth. I wonder if cost index could have something to do with this? Although I've tried everything from 80 to 99. Wonder if anyone else if having this issue or if it's just me. I've included some pictures taken with my phone to shot you what I'm talking about.

I agree this should definitely be looked into. Just now I hit a little turbulence and hit overspeed (above 250kias) restriction while climbing out of flight level 7000ft. and it literally shot up to 7200 fpm climb , 25 degree nose up to slow the aircraft witch should never happen no matter what. If i were on this flight in real life i would have lost it.

I tried route finder and it completely ruined my flight. It took me all over the place. What are the best route planners for fsx not just for North America? Preferably freeware if possible.

Thanks Ryan, that makes sense. I didn't question it being a problem with the NGX I just wanted to understand why it does this.

this happened to me last week for several days and then it mysteriously went away.

Now it changed it to FL270 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/screentest001.jpg/The weird thing is I got the flight plan and altitude from flight aware and not one single flight is above 17000 feet due to it being a short flighthttp://flightaware.com/analysis/route.rvt?origin=kdca&destination=kewr

Here's what I did. If you have time you can try it as well and confirm. Started my flight at KDCA parked at a gate.Prepared the aircraft for takeoff. Filled route: SWANN V445 DQO PHLBO2. Set my fuel to 10,000lb set reserves to 4, cost index to 99. set flaps to 5 set departure runway to 1. hit execute and it changed the FL with a message saying that it did. Strangethe altitude I filled was 17000 and it changes it to FL200

Yea I love the fact that it's so real that you can mess up your flight without taking real world procedures. I never put the winds into the FMC I just use the live weather from rex. I'll give it a shot. Thanks guys.Does anybody know why it's changing my flight levels though?

I didn't use a SID on departure but but PHLBO2 was the STAR for KEWR. The aircraft climbs as it should. The DESCENT PATH UNACHIEVABLE comes up shortly after VNAV has put me into descent. Usually the aircraft gets pretty "slippery" and picks up a bit of speed on descent. I usually have to use the speed breaks. Another thing thats strange though is that the auto throttles don't retard and go to idle when it should be on descent. I also noticed that it changes my flight levels by itself on shorter flights. The flight from KDCA to KEWR is around 200 miles.
