  1. Well lets hope they eventually provide the NGX with proper seating capacities like most operators use in Europe.
  2. It is true, for an aircraft on 'the line', the NGX rendition is relatively clean and I'd love if some aircraft I flew looked like that! Most of the time they probably carry god knows what bacteria and crap and the switches are pretty much worn down...that and the hundred and one inop stickers (maybe an exageration!).
  3. I'll take a video of it in a bit... It's the same No matter what level of autogen or aircraft ... Have went through Word Not Allowed's guide and tried many alternative settings re: bufferpools etc. Will post a video in a bit.
  4. So should I get rid of the overclock and re-format? Would it be worth it considering the above ^^ All advice welcome

    Indeed not a thing ... But yeah some things around are a little over exaggerated, but no freebies at all... If you can call tea/coffee/drinks freebies? That is some April fools prank my man !! Can just imagine his face!!! Only prank we had was a while back with a new member of the cabin crew and we went on the PA and requested defib to flight deck immediately and she ran up with it panicking just to walk in and both of us hunched forward... Was hilarious her face! But, yes back to 787 can't imagine how annoyed/ fidgety they must be! I can't go a few weeks let alone that long Indeed not a thing ...

    Oh yes I use the word 'job' very lightly, I as originally based in Eastern Europe and then was told I had 1 month to be based in Spain and then the UK, it's absolutely crazy! And don't get me started on HR or mgt....... But yeah I agree with your post completely!! Also you say tray table and then mention me cutting into steak... Don't you mean a mars bar, packet of crisps and sandwhich which I made at home the night before? ... Well with my current employer anyhow !!
  7. Yeah I did it without realising it was still over clocked, stability wise it'll run for over 24hrs with NGX and addon scenery etc. at a steady 29/30fps (locked) just a really annoying stutter when turning at all which I believe that my install process whilst overclocked may to be blame? Do you think it would be beneficial to reformat fresh without overclocked and so would that possibly* solve the stutter?

    If we went on strike there wouldn't be a job to go back to, we all know MOL would be union busting Ach hopefully be jumping ship soon... And tray tables - what are those? I thought siting cramped up scribbling on your lap was the way to do it?
  9. Hi Guys, See hypothetically if I were to reformat my SSD and re-install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit fresh install and FSX w/ addons and tweak but don't downlock my overclocked i5 2500k so it's still overclocked to 4.7 whilst installing/ tweaking/ flying. If I were to still have a stutter once re-installed and no difference no matter what setting I play with either tweak wise in FSX.cfg or tweaked Win7 as by the online guides. Would installing and tweaking with the system overclocked cause this stutter that won't go away? If so how would you recommend going about things. Thanks!

    Yep it makes up the whole wage packet for me.... Aer Lingus need some 737s haha
  11. This is indeed very much correct in our everyday procedures, everyone is far too busy Just shut engine 2 down approaching the stand, they plug it in, check the volts, stick it on and get ready for the next sector almost immediately...
  12. Hi There, Just thought I'd make my praise public for the current NGX FS2CREW and the Emergency NGX addons. As a first officer on the type for a particular 'loved' - or not - European airline of -800's, I understand the true requirement for 2-crew operation and in particular when the 'eek' moments arise. I must say FS2CREW have taken the NGX that much closer to reality and in particular with training method's and being able to practice scenarios just as we would in the sim. Very Well Done - the combination of the NGX and FS2CREW (Both packages) is probably as close as a 'desktop' simulator will get, incredible.
  13. There are some really good quirks modelled by PMDG here guys Welcome to the world of planes that with hundreds of moving parts are far from perfect
  14. Go to the FMC, and open the overwing exits then close them again, I taxiied and they didn't exstinguish so seems weird, although only had this issue once and that's how I fixed it so I didn't need to stop the flight ... or better still pretend you didn't see the lights and take-off and then have some diversion back to the airport fun...
  15. To be honest - with the risk of being banned most likely - If content is available but is too highly priced/ out-of-reach of average consumers yet aimed at average consumers then if the average consume can therefore obtain the item easily alternatively, they will. This policy probably won't work. It is just another item in the PR machine to 'scare' people into submission. Remember the average person downloading items 'ilegally' - although the exact definition is subject to debate - is doing so at their own time expense, if an item is priced reasonably and easier to consume then they will go elsewhere.
  16. Speaking of ISP monitoring I notice avsim have put this under 'special surveillance' haha... Sorry, just thought that was amusing! But honestly the music industry and film industry need to catch on and release films faster to deter mild-pirates, use services such at Netflix and Hulu etc. the days of traditional media are finished and really music downloading and films etc could be seen as a direct catalyst because of the failure/ refusal of those said companies to supply the content easier and in a more affordable form to the customer. This is yet just another scaremongering tactic by an industry failing to keep up and scared of future technologies. Well that's my two pence... I have a friend who works for a record label in NY and knowing the way he moans about this stuff I reckon it's spot on...
  17. SO in a nuttshell, airline guys stick to SOP's in all instances unless you want your head chopped off and signing on as you'll be out the door - also may be worth noting certain airspace in addition has particular requirements and 'house-keeping' if you should, an example is London TMA etc but that's going rather off topic. Edit: A Typo, it's too late and brain isn't functioning after 6 sectors...
  18. I notice from Celiosim's website they don't offer repaints for the NGX but the rest of the PMDG fleet. Maybe Ryan or can shed some light on this as maybe it's the same EULA or something that affected Mcphat ages back? Cheers in advance, just curious.
  19. Very much correct, it really is down to the SOP at the end of the day, but my employer's SOP is in line with what you mention.
  20. Oh but come on we're just bus drivers nowadays (No offence to bus drivers ofcourse - I couldn't fly with a screaming child) Ah well not long before they cut our salaries again or extend our hours eh.... But Yes goodluck Chris and hope all is well for you! Anyway off to bed I go, got another day of the o'Leary and co show....
  21. This video really glamourises it - you'd be surprised just how non-glamorous the life that flying for 'airlines' actually is - in particular a low cost carrier.
  22. Howard, I think you'll find it just as satisfying, It's all about the sensations of flight which up until this product I've never really been able to replicate as much - yes don't get me wrong, I don't have a seatbelt on and G forces pushing on my body and therefore the sim can only really be seen as procedural. Nevertheless, great product and you'll find it just as satisfying with the headset as well as speakers.
  23. Yeah I'm hoping someone has an idea or two as It's really irritating and taking away from the experience, in fact I've not flown any full flights as all I've done is load up, test, close, tweak, load up, test, close, tweak....
  24. Hey Folks, Basically I had a stutter a few weeks back when turning the aircraft (really noticable when taxiing), was smooth as butter every other time and no fps change during the turns always stuck between 29-30 (Frames locked at 30) in the NGX and payware scenery, orbx etc. The stutter was also present when I rebuild fsx.cfg. I managed to get rid of it by raising bufferpools after googling a bit but last week its re-appeared out the blue... after re-building the fsx.cfg with no tweaks I still haven't managed to get rid of this really noticable stutter during turns... Have tried - what feels like a hundred - combinations of Buferpools and other tweaks as per Word Not Allowed's Guide, tried Bojote's tool and even a tweak-free CFG with no avail. So Guys (And Girls) - any advice for someone who's about to go crazy, just It was smooth a few days ago and now its stutters when turning, really doing my head in I tell y'. PC Specs: Intel 240gig SSD, i5 2500k oc'd to 4.8 stable, GTX670 2GB, P8p67LE motherboard, 750w psu. OS: Windows 7 64bit and addons really only NGX, OpusFSX (With Rex Textures), GEX, Orbx England, uk2000 airports. I've tried with the addons and with defaults with no difference. Is it a possibility it's a background process or something weird? Any tips or known ones? Thanks in advance!!!!
