Bugs on pressurization system
That's correct. The small gauge for cabin altitude. The separated small gauge for cabin v/s. and the differential cabin pressure gauge did not moved during the test as far as I remember. This behavior makes sense on a unpressurized cabin.

Bugs on pressurization system
I've made a flight to test the pressurization system and simulate a high cabin altitude situation. I've found that the system behave very strangely. The test was to do a climb to FL140 with pressurization system in manual mode and outflow valve fully open. This should cause to have a pressure in the cabin similar to the external. During the climb cabin vertical speed gauge was not working properly. After passing 10.000ft the cabin altitude horn sounded, this was nice and seems to work,as expected. Some time later PASS OXY light illuminated. This also works and passengers would start to scream. I also tried the Alt horn cutoff button, worked as expected. After this I've tried to recover the cabin pressure using auto and manual mode without success. Outflow valve closed and cabin altitude started to CLIMB???!!! I've maintained FL140, but cabin pressure climbed to 17.000!!! This is totally illogical. When closing the outflow valve cabin vertical speed should indicate a descent and cabin altitude return to a normal pressurization altitude. How can this happen? Regards!

flight characteristics PMDG 737 NGX
Yes. I was just thinking about normal operation.Of course rudder is totally needed on engine out situations.

flight characteristics PMDG 737 NGX
Some weeks ago I was talking with my former fly instructor. Now has got his first job for an airline and got this 737-800 type rating this summer.When I asked for how she flyes he stated that one of the main diferences with G.A. airplanes is that you never use the rudder on the approach or during flight. Just let the yaw damper do his work and align on final with roll. This is the oposite that he teached me when flying the Cessna, were you normally use the rudder a lot on final.So basically rudder is only used to keep centerline during take-off and roll out and decrab on crosswind.Regards!

Off-set route on the CDU
I've tryied to fly an offset route using the offset page on the CDU. The page shows the offset input but when trying to use it I allways get a "invalid data" message.I've tryed entering the offset distance in different formats like "2", "1.5", "002.0" without success.Is there some bug with this function?Regards!

Loading FMC saved routes
I've checked the flighplans folder as vonmar suggested and the plans were there. So I noticed that they are saved corretly. I've also noticed looking at the file names what SierraDelta pointed. I was missing a "0" when trying to load a flighplan. Using the format DEPTDEST001 works great. I don't have to keep entering the same flight plans again and again anymore! Thanks for your help!

Loading FMC saved routes
I've tryied to load the saved routes from the FMC but it seems not to work for me. After entering a route on the FMC I save it with save + activate. The process seems to work fine and I get no errors. Then I go to the CO ROUTE to load the route but I always get an error saying that the route doesn't exist. In the CO ROUTE name I'm using the departure and arrivar four lettes code. I've also tried with the codes with "01" at the end. Ex. KLAXKSFO or KLAXKSFO01 I'm doing something wrong? Regards!

Flight plans not saving?
I've tried to save a flight plan from the CDU after entering all the waypoints. I click on the <SAVE option and it says that the plan is saved without errors. But I've tried many times to load a saved plan and never worked. I'm missing something? Regards!

Landing MINS Radio setting B738
Same here! I remember it was working correctly for the first flights as I had no problem setting the radio minimuns. The default value was about 200ft. After some days when I was about to set the radio minimums I noticed it had a default value of 9000ft. and you have to stay scrolling for 5 minutes to set it down to 200ft. so now I have to use baro setting for the minimums.

Standby attitude indicator not working
I'm also giving up on this. I've tryed changing from the digital to analog standby instruments many times and I've found no way to make the analog standby attitude indicator move. The digital version seems to work perfetly but I prefer the analog version on my cockpit.

Standby attitude indicator not working
The behaviour I get is:No flags shown in the instrumentSAI stays at centred level position and doesn't move when pitching or bankingThe ILS pointers move when selecting the buttonFlags also work when removing power from the instrumentI always start from free flight in FSX

Standby attitude indicator not working
Weird. I just changed the setting to use the analog standby the first time I configured the plane, but not changed it anymore.I wil try to switch to the electronic version and back to see if the attitude indicator is back to life again.Thanks for the info.

Standby attitude indicator not working
Then I'm really surprised that nobody else noticed this simple thing. It's really anoying to have all this hudreds of complex systems fully working and the standby attitude indicator not moving.

Standby attitude indicator not working
I've noticed that my standby attitude indicator is not working (analog version). Altimetter and RMI are working fine, but AH is not moving and stays at level position. I've tried to pull the uncage knob and changing the mode button, ILS bars are moving. Is this working right for you? Regards!
