I'm more of a reader than a poster here but I couldn't resist this time: Seriously? Are you just trolling or did you really just take this to a personal issue? You're clearly offending him while I can't see a reason to do so? Well probably because you ran out of 'smart' comments with actual facts to support your accusations against PMDG. I can't confirm any of your accusations simply because they've proven the opposite; whenever I had a problem, they were ready to support and actually cared, just as we would expect from PMDG. I've been following PMDG actively since the release (or let's say couple of months before the release) of the NGX, and I've never seen a negative move which would cause anyone to think this way. You got what you paid for, everything that was promised has been delivered, that's fair, and they did more than they actually promised to deliver to us, so, in my opinion, you don't have the right to demand stuff they didn't promise to give. Words from a pleased customer. Wish you all, (especially you, Joe Smith) a wonderful day / night!

I have made a couple liveries for myself and one of them is actually on AVSIM but the TC-SUZ is too hard for me, I'm not pro enough for that. I was looking for one as well :(

I have to agree with Robert.. He was always polite to me and everyone else as far as I've seen his posts.. I'm shocked and kept track of this thread for such a long time, checked the topic yesterday and seeing these news today almost made me fall off the chair. He helped us all and took off.. My condolences to Andy and Steve's family.. Fair winds...

Runway 70R?! As far as I know, only Captain Chuck Norris can land on such a runway! Joke aside, congratulations and IÄm looking forward to finally flying the T7 as well.. (No time :( )

So happy to hear, Steve! Welcome back! Looking forward to seeing and hearing your future work! I wish you all the best!

I have actually noticed this as well but never wanted to jump into the heated discussions. I'm really glad this is going to be fixed with SP2. By the way, I'm not a pilot but I've been sitting on the cpt and f/o seat of many different 738's to tell you that IN MY OPINION, it's still noticeable when you sit up front instead of taking a photo from the jumpseat or flight deck door angle. I hope I can make a couple photos in 2 weeks when sitting on the NG again, wish me luck! Oh and Josua... Grats buddy, haha!

Were you descending by any chance? If so, I assume your A/T was turned on but switched to ARM mode (after RETARD mode), in which you can manually move the levers (if set so in the FMC's PMDG settings - joystick throttle overriding NG throttle in ARM mode or in all modes). Do you have a single throttle on your joystick or one for each engine? Just my assumption.

Sounds great Steve! Thanks for your efforts! Any idea when we can expect another great sound pack of yours? EDIT: Whoops! Just noticed your previous replies and the info about waiting for the T7 release. My bad!

Actually, if I remember correctly (correct me if I'm wrong, can't guarantee that this is true), FSL A320's pro version will include it if everything works out. But as I said I'm not quite sure about it, I don't remember where I read that.

I'd also be interested to know if there is any progress regarding this feature.

I love the deep bass at ~ 50 % N1. I remember on a recent flight in a 738 during descend it was the EXACT same sound and that just got me there. If I could just open the windows now :( (I remember the F/O taking a pic of myself when I was sitting on his seat, my right hand out of the window, 30-35° C outside, damn that was a nice day!)

If you're patient enough til I get to sit on a 737 again I'll take some measures for ya. The displays seem to be quite realistic. And let me tell you one thing; Images and Videos give a totally different impression of the dimensions.

Totally agreed. It drives me nuts when I see a 747 outside, the flight deck is from an A300, then in another scene the aircrafts model changed all of a sudden from 4 engines to 2 engines, you see a 737... #####. I mean, in a movie where aviation is a big part of the story, they could've at least put a LITTLE more effort into replicating the flight deck of the aircraft they want to present. Not to mention the physics and the rate the aircraft pitched down, looked like a fighter jet maneuver..

Thought I'd throw in my recent experience on a 738. So we were flying to Stuttgart (my local airport), CRZ at FL380 and T/D 10-15 NM ahead. While I was talking to the CPT (PF on that flight) he changed the altitude on the MCP to FL280 (so cleared to descend by 10.000ft, when ready..). We flew on FL380, with FL280 selected for a few minutes, when the captain used V/S mode, first -700ft, then -2400 - which I didn't quite understand because on the NGX when you start an early descend and select VNAV after a while, being let's say 2000ft below planned descend path, it will decrease the rate to -1000ft and keep it at that until the aircraft catches the desc. path. Anyway in our case the captain used -700ft V/S mode, after a few seconds -2400ft and right after that he selected VNAV mode. I can't clearly remember if the aircraft kept -2400 or -1000, so I can't really give you an information on that. That's basically how we started our desc. Got a few cockpit shots, I enjoy looking at those pictures remembering how I sat in there, even on the F/O seat, gaining motivation with my studies to finally be in the flight deck in uniform I hope that helps.

I actually noticed that in the real 737-800 on my last jumpseat flight, during CRZ you can barely hear the buzz sound, you CAN hear the engines but not that constant buzz. Also, one difference is that during CRZ you have a deeper bass in the flight deck (wind and engines) than on FSX. (Or it's just my cheap sound setup which has not the bass of the real engines ). All in all, PMDG has done a very good job with the sounds, they sound really accurate. Very very slight differences to what you hear on the real 737 though, but seriously, I don't think you can get any closer than this. I am very satisfied (and I am a REALISM JUNKIE so that has to mean something ). Can't thank PMDG enough for making this great add on.
