  1. Hello Kuba, I have also been on the hunt for some decent simulations of Business Jets for FSX/P3D, and much like you, have fell short multiple times as there are very few business jets that are simulated to their exact (or come close) specifications. Currently, there is nothing that I could find that comes to the level of PMDG and Majestic in the BizJet world where both Visuals AND systems are outstanding. I have heard multiple times that BizJet companies such as Dassault, Bombardier Global, and Gulfstream do not like to give their business jet's exact performance numbers/values to developers for privacy reasons, and thus forcing developers that decide to model BizJets to have to estimate some exact details about performance. A few corporate (Not exactly BizJet) aircraft that do however catch my eye are Flight 1's Super King Air B200, Carenado's PC-12/S550/Hawker 850, and Eaglesoft's Citation X. The G1000 that the King Air comes with is quite nice and actually comes really close to the options that Garmin offers for the very basic model of the G1000 (without all the extra bells and whistles). I might also suggest to check out the Newly released Carenado PC-12. I have tested it myself and it does indeed look quite promising. The visuals are outstanding, the performance is simulated to a very good extent, and the the FPS that I get with complex scenery is great too. I might also recommend waiting for Carenado's S550 Citation II and their Hawker 850 as they have stated that those aircraft will be including AIRAC cycles that will be able to be updated from AIRAC suppliers such as Aerosoft and Navigraph. Along with Carenado's great visuals, and now receiving news that it will include AIRAC cycles, I think that those two BizJets are the ones to wait for. Lastly, I will recommend taking a look at Eaglesoft if you are able to overcome those Windows 8 security issues. Eaglesoft's Citation X is (What I like to think) of being in the same situation of the Level D 767 where the systems are excellent, however the visuals are a little dated. That should not stop you from having a great time in those two birds. Hope this helps! Kindest Regards
  2. Great News Robert! I look forward to seeing the 744 previews (hopefully) sometime soon Also really excited for PMDG to expand into the X-Plane market. Seeing the 744 v2 in X-Plane 10 would be a dream! Looking forward to the next update post, and as always, keep up the great work!
  3. Hello, Just to be sure, and it may sound obvious (you'd be surprised how many people make this mistake), but make sure that you don't physically have your feet pressing down on the toe brakes of your rudder pedals as even the slightest input may trigger the auto-brake system to disarm upon landing. Next, you mention that you have some difficulty setting up your brakes on your rudder pedals through FSUIPC. To me, it sounds like you have the "profile specific" box ticked, which is causing the "failed attempt" assignments staying for your next flight after removing the figures. There are many tutorials around the internet which can assist you in setting up your FSUIPC bindings. Should you have further trouble, I suggest reading the manual which is supplied with FSUIPC or even contacting someone on FSUIPC's forums. If you end up correctly setting up your brakes and the auto-brake problem persists, I would suggest to reinstall the NGX and try again to see if the problem has been fixed. Kindest Regards, Daniel Pushkov
  4. Hello, There was a post here on Avsim quite a while ago where someone gathered Cost Index data from quite a few airlines and compiled it into a single database. There are quite a few "major" airlines listed in that database, however it doesn't include all airlines. Here is the link for the Cost Index Database: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/336375-cost-index-database/ Kindest Regards, Daniel Pushkov
  5. Hello Lone Wolf, Most of the time, if you are in the Virtual Cockpit view and you lose the ability of clicking buttons and switches, it is actually because your viewpoint has shifted to be inside the headrest of the pilot's seat. This often happens with EzDok users as your viewpoint tends to move around as you are taxiing. To fix this, simply look down at the seat while in the Virtual Cockpit view mode and adjust your viewpoint so that you would be properly seated in the seat, rather than being inside of the headrest. If this solution does not fix your problem, then there may be a deeper issue and I would recommend a re-install of the PMDG aircraft that you are having issues with. In the last case scenario, if a clean re-installation of the aircraft does not work, then I would suggest submitting a ticket to PMDG for further support. Kindest Regards, Daniel Pushkov P.S. I highly recommend signing this post with your FULL NAME to comply with PMDG's rules about posting in their forums, as failing to do so could get this topic being deleted without warning.
  6. I gave it a try and it looks really good, Thanks for the help On another note, Along with the PMDG 737NGX, Whenever I would do my flying at night time on the PMDG 777 and turn on some cockpit lights (Not dome) I would always see some pixels that are not receiving light. And sometimes, When I go to wing view, I see small blue/green/orange pixels on the wing on the 777... On top of that, The displays are sometimes blurry on both planes on the ND and PFD What do you think could be the problem here?
  7. This might be it.... I generally do have water at High 2X and Locked fps via Nvidia inspector but sometimes I lower it when I fly around Seattle... (FTX Global and FTX PNW make it very laggy sometimes) So I lower the water settings forgetting about the water @ High 2x requirement.... I hope it is that because then I would have an answer Cheers
  8. Sorry for the late reply :S My specs are listed in the "My PC" section under my display picture.... But here they are anyways: i7-3770k @ 4.6-4.7Ghz EVGA GTX 770 2GB 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM FSX on 250gb SSD And regards to the Bufferpools=0 idea, Yes I did put that into my fsx.cfg so it might be that.. Thanks for the response Cheers
  9. No it doesn't seem to be the problem because I uninstalled EZCA, but the problem still happens
  10. I wanted to submit a ticket, But it thought it would be quicker here.... but I stand corrected now I will submit a ticket next time Thanks for the help
  11. Fonzzy posted a topic in PMDG 777
    Dear PMDG, I know that this will get lost in all of those "My XYZ won't turn on" posts regarding the newly released 777. All I have to say to those people is to GO READ THE MANUALS/TUTORIAL. Anyways, onto the main part of what I was going to say. As soon as I found out that the 777 was released I checked my paypal balance and joined the long queue for the purchase and installation of the 777. Then after a LONG time B), the 777 was finally loaded on the Boeing Ramp at Paine Field. All i could truly say was WOW, what an amazing product. I did a quick circuit around KPAE and shut her down for the night. (Had first day of school today :mad: ) I created this post to thank the ENTIRE PMDG team that helped create this amazing product. To think that FSX is a 5+ year program and to see what people and teams are coming up with to this day is remarkable. I know this development process was long and had its ups and downs but in the end it was all worth it. Thank you PMDG for the great product and I hope to enjoy the bird almost as much as I did the 737. Well I am off to do another flight with her. This has been repeated many times but THANK YOU PMDG Regards, Daniel
  12. Alright I will try it out and report back tomorrow
  13. Roger that, I was not aware of that. Sorry for the inconvenience and it won't happen again
  14. Yes I have Ezdok, I have tried it both with and without EZCA and it still happens... Same with/without the NGX :( Do you think that it could be a problem with my drivers?
  15. I don't have DX10 enabled...
