Can't wait for the NGX update! As much as I will enjoy the beautiful new 777, the NGX will still be my main aircraft it's a joy to fly on those short/medium trips. Hope to see that beautiful 777 lighting incorporated if possible too and hoping for the -900ER to be released as well!

PMDG 737 NGX. Plenty of good aircraft out there but this plane truly makes you feel like you're in the real thing. Can't wait for their 777, 747 update and the next NGX service pack!

AES seems to be required with some scenery designer's airports if you want the jetways to even move (a HUGE pet peeve of mine) so it's more of a necessity with a few of the payware stuff out there (why for the life of me they would go to all that trouble to have static jetways is another topic lol). But I definitely agree with the above posters for most everything else GSX all the way, it works at every airport in FSX that supports your aircraft size, it's customizable, always being updated and it looks GOOD.

Actually they're a little different if you compare photos. The Split Scimitar Winglets will be available as a third party option by Aviation Partners Inc. for airlines to upgrade their existing NG generation 737s. If you look closely they have a little more "dramatic flair" than the MAX ones. I tend to prefer the simpler design of the MAX winglets but they're both pretty cool looking.

Hey Sean, I remember first flying into Belize airport in FSX and encountering this craziness lol. Be sure to check out my AFCAD update for the Belize airport which updates many things including removing all the trees on the airport. The file is mzbzv2.0_adex_jd.zip Happy New Years! -Jaison Diaz

Any of our amazingly talented painters willing to tackle this bird? Would be great to have it to fly around. Kudos to AA for joining Continental/United in the Eco program for the NG.

Hey everyone, Didn't know if this had been brought up already but saw a great preview for a new show coming on Oct 2 on the Travel Channel called Airport 24/7. First episode takes place at Miami Int'l Airport and even features a trip by the President to the Miami area. Check out the link for photos and clips, looks like it'll be a good show! http://www.travelchannel.com/airport247

I doubt they will get left by the wayside, I've been a supporter of PMDG's products for many years and they pretty much always deliver as promised, you just gotta be patient these kinda projects are pretty big. Looks like 777 is winding down and I believe the 747-400 V2 is steaming along as well and I believe they said after those 2 are out of the way they'll take some of the new things they learned during development and apply it to the next 737NGX update which will hopefully include the BBJ and the much anticipated -900ER. Can't wait!

Absolutely love those runway and taxiway/ramp textures!

Hey everyone, Quick question regarding the APU. What is the normal procedure regarding APU prior to departure assuming that ground power and external air are already connected. I've read that generally the APU is turned on 10 min prior to pushback but are the APU generators and APU bleed turned on as soon as the unit powers up or does the aircraft continue to remain on ground power and external air until pushback begins? Thanks! -Jaison Diaz

Thanks Jordan!

Hey everyone, Had a quick operational question. When the aircraft is left parked at the gate overnight what is the standard procedure after the secure aircraft checklist. Is the battery switch generally left on? Are ground power or external air normally left connected or is the aircraft generally left in a complete cold and dark state? Thanks! Jaison Diaz

Wow this looks great! Thank you!!

I've noticed something interesting...in the aircraft.cfg file all the ATC IDs (tail numbers) are correct...but when loading the plane thru FSX many of them have incorrect ATC IDs for OTHER PMDG 737s. It's really unusual. Anyone have any thoughts or help? I've tried completely uninstalling and re-installing the airplane and that hasn't helped either.

We seem to be thinking on the same page, I did that just now as well and the issue seems to continue, it's very random with no rhyme or reason, earlier the American plane was loading a Delta configuration. When I "load from another" it will load whichever I select but still display the original incorrect tail number on the FMC and if I try to load from original it doesn't seem to do anything at all. This is very odd. Jaison Diaz

Hey Nick, Yes I un-installed all the liveries actually and re-installed thinking there might have been some issue but it seems to still be happening, it's very odd. Jaison Diaz

Hello all, I've recently been having an unusual issue, when I load some aircraft (it appears to be at random) the wrong configuration seems to be loading for them, even ones that have the verified options configuration. When I try to select load original it doesn't seem to fix the issue. I can load a specific config temporarily but it will still show the incorrect registration currently associated with the plane. Is this a known bug? I tried to do a search and couldn't seem to find any other instances of this happening. I've attached a screenshot of one example. Thanks for your help! Jaison Diaz
