Excited to see KORD getting an update! Wishing this team a ton of success!

Would be a cool feature for sure! Especially now that they are not restricted to 32bit, could probably add more features too. Would be awesome if it could somehow interface with Vatsim/vPilot for NAT crossings similar to this article: http://aerosavvy.com/north-atlantic-tracks/

Would be a dream come true! I love the 764 (I know only a few operators, but it's my favorite bird and is close to the 777). Would equally love if they did the ERJ-175 series... My only hope is they stick to aircraft in the last 2 decades...historicals are fun, but just not what I typically sim.

Great news! I always get excited when I read these posts :) Wonder what's next down the road. Scimitar winglets for the NGX? 767-400? Sounds great to me :)

I messaged the folks at Blue Sky Star and understand they're working on a version, but not sure on a timeline. I think theirs are the best:

I'm also disappointed with the default sounds released with this product, and also hope Blue Sky Star releases an improvement. Their other packages are amazing and immersive! I agree. I think they almost feel rushed or incomplete. Something is missing. TSS's newly released E175 sounds are spot on excellent - I suppose I was expecting something similar with this product. Love how they were able to change the sound effect based upon camera location with that product (ie: more engine noise near the front of the engine and more "rumble" behind the wing.) Amazing! I suppose it's a challenge for developers to please everyone - I do know the CR7/9 is rather quiet up front in terms of engine noise, though.

I appreciate it being a "pilot's" sim but do agree it would be nice to edit. It only adds to the realism especially if you can see the variety of configurations (ie: seatguru.com).

Sound settings are fine from what I can tell - I use a headset and have no issue with the PMDG 777. It's only in the 737 for some reason I do not hear much of anything, which again, I realize it is supposed to be quiet in terms of engine noise, but isn't there some way to modify the sound to make it louder? I just prefer to hear more engine noise. Even increasing the Engine sound setting to 100% didn't seem to do much when looking forward in the Virtual Cockpit mode.

Hello - I am a new customer and started using the PMDG 737NG with FSX. I love the product, but wish I could figure out how to make the engines louder like I hear as a passenger (in Virtual Cockpit mode). As recommended my sound settings in FSX are all at 50%. I tried increasing in the FMC but that did not work as I hoped. When I change views in Virtual or 2-D mode, they can be heard slightly louder, but for some reason I barely hear anything other than the recirculation fans when facing forward at takeoff power or reverse. I know it may be unrealistic, but I should hear at least some resemblence of the engines like I have seen others on YouTube posting. Any thoughts on what I can do?? Thanks!

Hello - I opened a ticket but am wondering if there are any other users who have a similar issue(s)? After installing the product, I ran the Ops Center to download a livery, then ran FSX. Upon loading the aircraft for the first time, was asked to activate. Every time I enter my activation code, the popup quickly loads up until "Context Created" but then hangs here. A few seconds later I receive the Unable to Connect to Activation Server error message. Yet, I have an internet connection perfectly fine. Support already responding advising my Port 8888 is blocked. However, I tried again without any firewall or antivirus running, as well as trying to enable it through Windows Firewall (Forward traffic) and it still did not work. They also advised for me try by tethering my smart phone but I am unable to do that either. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello - I have opened a ticket, but in the meantime, did anyone else have this issue / know what to do? After installing the product, I ran the Ops Center to download a livery, then ran FSX. Upon loading the aircraft for the first time, was asked to activate. Every time I enter my activation code, the popup quickly loads up until "Context Created" but then hangs here. A few seconds later I receive the Unable to Connect to Activation Server error message. I have an internet connection and tried turning off the Firewall and antivirus, but still did not work. Support responded the issue may be to Port 8888 being blocked. "The activation window attempts to connect to license.precisionmanuals.com on port 8888." However, I am not connecting with a router. I do not know how to make sure this port is open or what I need to do? Should I uninstall and try it again? Thank you for any insight.

Thanks for posting - this is very interesting. Are you able to create night textures as well?
