Hi, I'm also experiencing this behaviour with the sounds.

You're not alone... :wink:

Got it...

Warbirds, if you look right at the bottom of Kyle's original post you'll see the following line: And you will also be reminded to sign your full name in the forums.

Robert, I'm officially complaining (or is it complianting?) about your use of the word compliant, instead of complain... or something... oh whatever. I actually forgot what I was trying to complain about...

Hi, Are you guys struggling with using the NGX offsets via FSUIPC? Unfortunately I don't have any Jetmax hardware but I've been playing around with both Simconnect (via c# app) and FSUIPC to interface with the NGX and 777. Initially I've used 1 and 0 as parameters on some of the offsets, for example the landing gear. (offsets 74183 and 70087) It seemed to work but I got weird things happening... until I used the proper values for the parameters. Mouse left-click (536870912) and mouse right-click (2147483648). Autopilot and autothrottle disconnect switches also had problems with 0 and 1 as parameters... they will both disconnect but will automatically be silenced without you having to press the button twice. These parameters produce a "double-click" event of sorts. Using the proper mouse right and left click values fixed this. Maybe this has got nothing to do with your issue... just thought I would post this.

Brian, What worked for me was to disable "Mipmap VC Panels" under "View and Panel Settings" in the Graphics Settings. Your mileage may vary... (just to cover myself) ^_^

Kyle, it did mess up my NGX!!! The weather radar isn't working anymore.

It's simply one of those "must have" add-ons. I have wasted lots of money on half baked add-ons over the years... ASNext made me forget about them all. I will also not buy another add-on unless there's a free trial... with the exception of PMDG. They're exempt from this law. Bad things will happen if you don't buy their add-ons.

No problem... I understand your frustration with a CTD issue. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Kyle, you're welcome.

Kyle, Thanks for the moral support. Now I know how you must feel... :unsure:

Hi, my apologies for the "lesson". It wasn't meant to be one and I probably should've posted my observations in a different thread.

Not sure if this might be a bug, or whether it's by design... If you don't turn on the weather radar (WXR button on the EFIS control panel) and you press the "Test" button on the weather radar control panel, then you get a random "rainbow" self test pattern which seems a bit odd. This self test pattern starts and stops at varying positions and durations each time the "Test" button is pressed. Once the weather radar is switched on then the "Test: mode works 100% according to the Collins WXR 2100 Operators Guide. I was just wondering if this behaviour is correct... not that it's really important. I was just playing around with it. For those of you who are into the "as real as it gets" genre... try the following: (and only if you're interested... ^_^) Press both the Captain's and First Officer's "TFR" buttons... the weather radar will display the radar test pattern. According to the Collins Operators Guide this is due to the fact that the radar is no longer able to determine which settings to use (Captain's or First Officer's) to supply information to the EFIS. It's modelled perfectly in the 777.
