Sorry. Just did. Browsing both forums, got them mixed up. Thanks, Michael

Hey everyone Regarding the Take-off performance calculator in PFPX, is it possible to choose which of the resulting de-rate settings to append to my OFP after the calculation? I want to take-off from SBSP, which is a short runway in the middle of São Paulo, and I know 737 pilots will always use full thrust there (and even 27K for the 800 SFP). So I wanted to append the full thrust info to the OFP, but it will always use the best de-rate possible. Is there any way to do that without having to open TOPCAT? Appending the Scratchpad to the end of the document would also help.

Didn't work, George. You have to setup a signature to your account, then just put your name and whatever else you want. You can even put images. Cheers

] Hey Artur, I think 250 until FL100 is more of a safety restriction. Noise abatement is something like V2 + 20 until 1500 AGL, or 190 knots until 6000 ft, it depends on the airport. Those info can be input on takeoff page 2, not on climb page, and it is not included in airac database for PMDG.

Yeah, but not with such good quality, David. Here, this is a full flight from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo, the busiest route in Latin America. You can also try the ones from Just Planes, but their best videos are not free. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr8T9rFNMB3tLAW2TSFZc2A

Looks exactly the same to me, except for the psychodelic windows media player visualization effects on the screen.

Mark you are right, they do turn AT off. I guess there is no rule that says it should be on. Maybe the pilot feels more comfortable doing it manually, specially if he spent years flying 737s, 767s or 747s before the 777.

a) Similar b ) The 777 is a little bit better, got some more features since it was released later, but nothing that really makes it much better than the NGX, except for some of the sounds. c) Not a pilot d) No e) No f) Any of them, you won't get the best FPS but you can fly with no problems with similar performance. So choose the one you like the most. I prefer the NGX because I love the 737. You can land on smaller fields with it, so it gives you a much wider range of destinations. The 777 has a little more immersion and will be even better once the SP1 is out, but if you don't like long hauls it won't really suit your purpose. I vote NGX.

I think the results of the poll won't really reflect reality of the PMDG customers opinion, since the people that participate in the forum is just a small sample of the costumers and most of us are huge fans that would probably buy anything PMDG produced. Even then we see that about 1/3 would not be interested. I would definitely buy a PMDG Business jet, but I think we all want PMDG to sell successful products that will enable them to grow even more.

It does say in the 777 introduction that it might happen if you have mesh resolution set to less than 10m. For me it does. Some sceneries really require that you have it set to 5m or even 2m, or else roads that run beside a cliff will be on the cliff at some points. Though, for most sceneries I just set it to 10m and be happy.

Is your autorudder on or off?

Yup. Back to my NGX, much more fun because: - I can do some awesome extreme landings, instead of boring ILS ones. - I can fly to smaller airports and spend less time taxiing - it is less automated - It is FLAWLESS: since SP1c this plane is just too great to fly. I can't have enough of it with my little spare time.

That happened to me with the NGX twice. I didn't change windows or anything, it just plunged for no reason. No idea why it happened, but since it was just those 2 times of hundreds of flights, I didn't really worry.

I believe the 777 is closer to the real plane than the NGX. But the difference is not very big. Currently the NGX is working better, since it already had its SPs and is working perfectly, but the 777 will probably get those in a few weeks and be perfect. Have in mind that the NGX development was actually 2 projects in one. First there was the creation of a platform, which sets the base for future projects. Then there was the plane development itself. During the 777 development, PMDG improved that platform, but it is essentially the same base. That's why both products are so similar but so different from the other PMDG planes in a software point of view. (I'm talking about the software, not the aircraft, before anyone tries to kill me). Whenever you feel like flying short hauls don't hesitate on going NGX. It is still part of the best home simulation you can find.
