  1. Hi Chris, thank you for your very honest words. Sometimes fate strikes hard and then all bad things happen at once. It really needs courage and most people in your situation would give up. Great to see you did not. I am really rooting for you, not just because you are creating wonderful flightsimhardware, but you are a very nice and honest guy. You just wanted to share your passion for flightsimming with us and what happend was not your intention. I belive in you and in Fulcrum and wish you all the best for the future. Good things sometimes needs patience and time. 😉 I am so happy with my Fulcrum Yoke, was one of the best invenstments i made in over 30 years of flightsimming. I loved your throttle since you announced it with kickstarter. Was a nobrainer to order it. 🙂 Looking forward, kind regards Chris (from Austria) 😄
  2. I've made only good experiences with Chris and his company. I'm a hundred percent sure, we will get our throttles. The global situation with resources and parts and their prices is very unpredictable atm. In my company we ordered new hardware for our server and network infrastructure about a year ago and you can do almost nothing against it. just be patient and be happy when you get some parts. So the statement of Chris makes absolute sense to me. Keep that in mind too before judging him. I'm sure he does his best to get out all orders. We will get our throttles and have good times with it in the sim.
  3. Thanks for the update Chris! The yoke is already a gamechanger, the combination with the throttle will be awesome. The wait will be worth it and i am looking forward to the Lever upgrade too 😄 Fingers crossed, everything goes fine. Chris
  4. Yayyyyy! Thank you Chris - was an instant order for me - this is christmas and birthday together 🙂 And the Pro Jetliner Levers look fantastic, much better than in the kickstarter!!!! Cant wait to get them too 😄 Thank you for continuing development! regards Chris
  5. Thats super news! :) Thanks a lot! Chris
  6. That's fantastic news! Count me in for pre order! best regards Chris
  7. PMDG - what else:)!!! +1
  8. I have to admit, that I belong to this group of headbangers too:). The NGX was the reason to change definitely to fsx. Combination NGX and TIR is awesome. The level of this aircraft is outstanding. Its everytime a pleasure to do the checks. Its wonderful to look outside the window and see the strobelights illuminating the ground in the evening. Its cool to taxi and look around in the cockpit with TIR. Its fantastic to watch the wingflex while in the air. Simply everything you're doing is amazing. After nearly 50 flights the satisfaction is as big as at the first one. Its worth every penny - thank you PMDG, regardsChris
  9. Andy, from this point of view, i would agree with you. But i'm sure that the rate of developement will drop dramatically. You have to find a system for the production, because every project (Aircraft-Training) will be different to realize. Its not possible to produce a video based on a non-fnished aircraft. So they started from 0 with the day of the release. Every system needs some preperation and oil to run smoothly:). I understand both sides. If i could get a vid from AOA every day i wouldn't be angry about it. As a developer you have a plan, you spent tons of hours in working out a project, everything looks fine, you inform your customers about your new product and give out the roadmap. If there are probems, the customers often dont understand, that only a little small problem could stop the whole machine. That should be no excuse for false promises or delays. Everyone of us has to do his job, and everyone of us tries to do it perfectly. Its not a developers intention to frustrate the customers, they want a working thing. And they are most frustrated themselves, if something doesn't work as planned or expected. And if someone don't get what he/she's expecting then ist ok to get a refund. And its ok to express disapointment. As you stated in you last line, even if a product is not satisfying, things can be handled with respect. Happy landings,Chris
  10. Hi, I stumbled over AOA while waiting for the release of the 737ngx. Impressed by the Demo-Videos i wanted to join the 737-Training. I followed the progress of the project and was not sure if i should buy the course. Meanwhile i joined the Aviator90-Training and was very impressed by the quality and presentation of the videos. Its a completely different kind of learning. I like the combination of animated pictures, presentation sequences and spoken word. So i decided to join the 737-Training. I've bought several printed tutorials, and they are pretty good written, but i can't compare them to the videos of AOA. Yes there are "only" 2 videos available atm. I first wondered too, why to have an own video for aircraft lightening. But now i not only know, when to push or pull the switches as a procedure, I now know exactly how the lights are working. Same for the second video about warning-systems. And the style of the presentation is really good. First you'll get an overview about the following section, then you get the knowledge and at the end there is a repitition about what you have heard - great work! If you are really interested in flying AND understanding the 737ngx you will enjoy the training. Reallife pilots need several years of training and shool before they are able to fly the aircraft. They don't get all knowledge within a few weeks. And I'm sure AOAs machine is warmed up now and they optimized their production:).Almost 100 hours high quality videos for 79$ plus some extras is definitely worth waiting a bit:). The really nice thing is, you can watch the videos again and again:).... (best learning effect will be to repeat the stuff a few times). hope, my English isn't to bad:),happy landingsChris
  11. Hello, as far as i know, the liveries have to be reinstalled after the installation of the hotfix! And its is possible that you need to fix the domelight too - there is a sticky thread in the forum. regardsChris
  12. Hi! My system specs are:i7 2600k @4.5Ghz4gigs 1600Mhz DDR3Geforce 560tiFSX installed under d:\games\fsx (500Gb Seagate 7200rpm drive)Win7 Ultimate 64bit with UAC switched off The first thing i notice on your system is the RAM - you have a 64-Bit Win7 and an i7 2600k - why just use 4 gigs of ram, push your system with some more ram. That's a general advise you cant do anything wrong spending your System more ram. Win7 will handle it well and it helps increase loading times dramatically nad you dont need to swap data between hd and ram (often this alone will take away most of the problems with fsx). NExt thing i would try is not to overclock the system. go down to the standard-rate and look if your fs runs more stable than. Ive red in several forums that wrong overclocking options can cause really heavy problems.There are known issues with intels speed step technologie because sometimes the cpu is underpowered if you manage the voltage through the automatic option. Dont nail me here, im no hardcore-overclocker but ive red that manual adjustment of vcore is necessary to get a stable overclocked system for fsx. and dont compare the 737ngx with your other add-ons. You need good hardware for this bird and hardware which is fine for other add-ons is not enough for the pmdg:). Maybe this helps you,good luck,regardsChris
  13. I have to say THANK YOU! The whole PMDG-Team did a great job. Your product is state of the art - no its better it sets a new standard in Add-On developement for FSX. Even if there are some things, that need to be fixed, i am very satisfied with the new 737. Everybody who developes software knows, that it is almost impossible to sort out all things in advance. But you are doing a great job with your support here and try to fix everything as fast as you can. Sitting in the vc of this plane combined with trackir gives me the perfect illusion of flying an airplane. You can almost smell the fuel:). The atmosphere is so great. Flying in the night is sensational. I love the lights illuminating the ground, i love the cockpit-lightning, i love to climb out on takeoff and watch over my shoulder to see the winglet dancing in the air. I love to controll everything from inside the cockpit (pax, payload, doors, lights). I love to switch off the Autopilot and fly the plane by hand. I love it, that you have to take care and plan everything carefully (did you try to overheat the breaks?:) - simply great). Yes, you need a powerful machine, but if you have one, you will definitely enjoy this masterpeace of work. Its worth every cent and i have my creditcard ready for the 600/700:). Now i have a great excuse to buy a new sandy-bridge based system:). So thanx again for this great plane, keep up the good work,regardsChris
  14. Hi! I have this Problem with FMC too. Its really strange, i fill in all the data and when i want to check the route i use the legs page. When i'm doing this and press the lsk butten for stepping through the route, it doesnt work. From this moment on the whole cockpit behaves strange. Some buttons work some dont. For example i cant change the ND-Mode anymore. I rotate the nob but it stays on the plan-page and doesnt change to the map page. When i enter something in to the scratch pad it doesnt appear until i change to another side. I tried to start the apu. as i switched it to on it stucked and i was not able to move it to start. The strange thing ist that other switches are working normal. It seems like the some of the cockpit functions are locking up. First i thought its an issue with the Battery but ive extended the battery-life through fsuipc. And as some people mentioned, it happens not everytime. 2 days ago, i did a flight without any problems. I really think this is a bug, hope there will be a fix soon. ill continue testing. chris
  15. Hehe, yea i see you planned this post for weeks now mate kind regardsChris
