It's now been updated to 1.0.3 Today's update brings a few improvements and several bug fixes. We would like to explain some of them to you. GSX Integration We've made some adjustments to the GSX integration. Now, the Upper Cargo Door opens automatically when boarding or deboarding is requested. This required a custom logic. We've also connected the refueling process with GSX. First, you need to call the fuel truck through the GSX menu, and once it's there, you can start refueling via the EFB. The truck will automatically leave once the refueling is complete. 3D Adjustments There have been some minor adjustments to the 3D model, such as the Pack Fan cooling doors being visible, and the GPU door is now animated. These aren't major changes, but it's often the small details that count. Flight Dynamics In this update, we've improved the ground roll behavior and adjusted the cargo loading sequence so that with lighter loads, the center of gravity is slightly further back. This improves the pitch behavior during takeoff, depending on the overall load. We are also working on a complete adjustment of the pitch behavior and are making good progress. The next update should include this improvement. GNS-XLS We are continuing to work on the FMC. We've already implemented the entire route and flight plan handling, including Simbrief import. Now, we're focusing on adding the missing pages, like NAV and HOLD. We'll keep you updated on our progress. By the way, for all TDS GTNXi users: A new version of the GTNXi was released today that fixes several bugs related to its integration with our 727. Now, you can even fly the vertical path (such as an LPV approach) using the AUTO GS mode, as long as you're in GPS mode. For now, enjoy your flight!

I still use the DC-6 a lot and am enjoying the FSS B727 at the minute with the CIVA INS too. I would love to see an A2A Captain of the Ship for MSFS, I miss the constellation from P3D, it was very immersive. Although its not that old I would also really love to see a Dash 8 100 in MSFS, I could spend months flying around Norway in that!

Thanks for posting this, it's really interesting. I used to love trying the RNP approaches that someone built for the PMDG 737 in FSX and it's great to see this. Such interesting airports in Alaska, I love Juneau, Petersburg and Wrangell amongst others.

I would like them to bring the Connie to MSFS or a brand new Captain of the Ship aircraft.

I checked this after the patch released yesterday and the approach is now drawn correctly although you have to enter PS966 manually as it's not there for some reason. I didn't have time to fly it though, but will give it a go later. I bought this scenery last week after you posted this 🙂

yeah 🤣

FlyingFabio previewed it a few days ago. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1657414489 at about 9 mins 45 seconds someone asks about release day, he says hopefully by the end of the year but possibly early 2023.

Would love to see an fs2crew (or maybe fs3crew!) for the dc-6 when its released for fsx/p3d. This is my most anticipated aeroplane in a while and would love to see Bryan work his magic with this! Gary Patterson.

I'm English and I can never get it to recognise 'on' either, was the same in the NGX. I tried it in an American accent (or what I thought was an American accent!) Every time it recognises it as arm! I just use skip most of the time now but I will keep trying too!

Brilliant news!

The Alaska and New Zealand approaches were programmed by a guy called M_sauce I think, and he did a fantastic job on them, definitely worth a try! Last I saw on here he was planning on doing the PAJN approaches and some other airports in the FTX South Alaska region. I think he might have said he was waiting for Orbx to release their add on PAJN airport before he coded it so he didn't have to revise the data? I hope this is still the case as I appreciate his hard work for us NGX drivers! When Orbx release Queenstown NZQN airport it would be cool to have those files updated too as I think the procedures have changed in the last few months :-)

Howard, I just did a quick flight from Manchester to Bristol in the NGX. I let PRO ATC X autogenerate the flight plan - it gave me a 05L take off at EGCC with a LISTO2S SID then direct KARNO and on to RETSI for the BRI1A STAR. I loaded up the flight plan from CO route and then reloaded the SID as described in my last post so the altitude constraints are present. I left the other waypoints in the FMC as KARNO RETSI and EGGD as per the auto flightplan. On the PRO ATC flightplanner its already decided on the BRI1A STAR but I dont put that in at the point as I guess if it was real world I wouldnt know that for sure yet anyway. After take off I followed the SID in LNAV, one thing I dont like about PRO ATC X is that it doesnt give you the altitude restraints from the SID as your initial cleared altitude. Looking at the LISTO2S out of Manchester I would have thought my initial clearance should be to 5000 feet for the hard restriction at LISTO but PRO ATC never gives me that - I am not a real world pilot so I dont know what would happen in reality, thats just based on my expectations. Around four miles before KARNO I was given the arrival SID information, so that was the waypoint before RETSI, which is the first on the STAR. At that point I entered the STAR into the FMC, and shortly after RETSI I was cleared to descend to FL160 which is a hard restriction at AMRAL, so all was looking good. Then FSX crashed, but I guess thats the beauty of running too many addons, FSX, NGX, FTX, FS2CREW, PROATCX, OPUS and trying to record the flight with FRAPS :-) I think the future looks good for PROATCX though, I just dont use it all the time because I like to fly in Alaska alot and most of the airports dont have towers, and also in New Zealand I have had a few issues, but I think at the more common airports it works well now.. All the best, Gary.

I have been using PRO ATC X on and off for a few months with the NGX. Its constantly evolving, this is the longest period I have seen so far without an update. I still fly more flights without out it than with at the minute though.. Howard, in partial response to post #12 - Its annoying that PRO ATC X loads the SID up without the altitude and speed restrictions. The way I get around it is to load that flight plan from CO routes as suggested, then I go into DEP/ARR and load the assigned SID from the database as you would on a flight when your not using PRO ATC X. This inserts a discontinuity, close this by moving up the first waypoint after the SID to the position after the last waypoint on the SID and then you have the SID with the restrictions. I have never had any problems doing this, in fact sometimes I dont load the PRO ATC flight plan into the FMC from CO route and just enter it as I would for any another flight. It can be a frustrating program but I think it has potential to be excellent. Best Regards, Gary.

Hi Howard, I think RETSI is the first waypoint on the BRI 1A STAR for EGGD. I just tried the same flight with the original AIRAC cycle that came with the NGX and its the first STAR on the left hand side when you press DEP/ARR.Cheers, Gary.
