Brings some fine memory of his work on building eye-candy 2d panels for FS98: an elegant MD-80, a wonderful Saab 340, and a very (VERY!) much anticipated and revolutionary 767 (was it 1999?).

Yes.

I am awfully sorry to hear this.

Take care, and never give up. 

The 300ER has tail strike prevention right? Or am I getting confused with the A340-600?

It has a semi levered main landing gear, but I dont know if the PMDG model will simulate that. 

Why cant we enter smaller value? Any information given about it?

I dont know. I'm guessing that if you turn the airplane directly from the finger position, it will probably strike another plane. 

I think its a matter of distance. It does not accept inputs smaller than a certain number (guessing 77 feet).

thanks!

that explains the odd effect. Do you know what is consider "low visibility"?

Is by chance the visibility low?

The method used by PMDG to make those pretty lights has a drawback - it does not work in low visibility conditions, in fact, it creates some nasty artifacts. So PMDG made them disappear in low-vis conditions and made the triangle default lights appear instead.

REX = no impact at NGX performance.

I am using an Alienware M17xR3 desktop replacement. Almost the same config as above, but with the AMD 6870. Software: PMDG 737 NGX, REX, UT2, GEX, UTX. Running pretty smoothly (20fps+) in almost every condition but not at the busiest airports (around 12fps).

Alienware seems to be the brand to look for FSX laptops.

Daniel Choen: it works fine. Just back up the original file. It's not "rocket science".

^{I have seen a post in the AVSIM forum last month about a tweak to change the interior light colours of the 737 NGX from PMDG.}

^{You should edit the 737NGX_Colors file (inside PMDG folder) to the following setup. This will give you a reddish light inside the VC.}

^{Good luck! BR}

Are you using the GPU? Have you tried to update or disable the video driver?Marcelo.

The best way I can help you with your question is to advise you to turn the FSX "damage" off. You have no idea how your life is gonna improve as a result of this. Food tastes better. The air seems fresher. You’ll have more energy and self confidence than you ever dreamed of! Bottom line is: there is no use for the annoying and erratic FSX crashes.

SBRJ - Santos Dumont runway 02R approach - operated by TAM Airbus A319 and GOL Boeing 737-800 "Short Field Package" - is a big challenge for me.Take a look at this

unfortunately, is true.

Yes, but the simulator is a bit harder than FSX...

SBSP - SBRJ is a very 737NGX demanding flight, specially the landing procedure. SID and STAR charts @ http://www.aisweb.aer.mil.brMarcelo

I prefer to use the FSX ATC IFR for approval for take-off. After take-off, I change the radio to another frequency and therefore skip the annoying ATC instructions. This procedure give me a transponder code that will make the FSX controller to avoid traffic in my direction during the flight.Marcelo
