If I may ask.... It feels (as a biased consumer of the NGX!) that it's been slightly neglected compared to its bigger brothers and sisters (777 and 747/748) From a technical stand point, the NG has had a lot of changes and updates since it was released - Scimitars Led Landing lights New start levers To name a few. I appreciate that there is a timetable that PMDG must have and they are good at posting updates from time to time with what's happening and SP1d? Was a great addition. But, the NGX I would have thought has a massive consumer base, and some of us geeks really want to get into scimitar equipped NGX or have an updated cockpit window dimension. I don't want to come across as ungrateful/demanding or asking for answers. It's just my 2 pence (2 cents for my American friends!) that the NGX feels a bit neglected. Dan

Quick question, does that top video have both preciptfsx and the 737 immersion pack? May treat myself as a New Years present....!! Dan

Sorry, I'm posting from my phone. But if it makes you happy, see below. I didn't realise such a minor matter would offend some. Odd when all I was doing was to try and post an interesting update. DAN WADE

Finally got them "Classic" NG start levers- http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/moosehead1984/Mobile%20Uploads/1C0A8B7D-C76B-44F5-9BE3-BAA1DC7E38DF_zpsuvktc2be.png The new start switches on an NG (not a MAX picture)- http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/moosehead1984/Mobile%20Uploads/51772898-74DC-4ADE-8692-767792F235B7_zpszrz6bn5n.jpg Dan

As soon as I can work out how to post pics via my iPhone, I'll post them. I'm also waiting on a (current) ng pic that documents the start levers changes. To describe them briefly, it looks like a Boeing grey metal plate bolted on to the area where the start levers are and 2 switches similar to the 777 on it. Almost plug and play. Ok, here are the links to my photobox.

First off, I'm not asking for anything, nor am I being ungrateful. If any of the mods/developers are reading, new 737ng's coming off the line now don't have nose wheel lights and retractables. New ones have led wing lights which still use the same switch with the retractables, except, when pushed once, they are only at about 20% brightness (for taxi) then 100% when pushed fully down. Also, the start levers are now 777 style. I can dig out pics if needed.

It's an issue with swescene skelleftea. The block has gone. Thanks for your help N60JBRAVO

That's exactly it. You sir are a legend. I'll start tinkering again tomorrow!

Awesome. Yes it's on the airport, it's just to the right of runway 34R. Looking at pics from fsx online it looks like it should be a comms mast or something..... At work currently so can't post a pic.

Without sounding stupid, I assume that will give me an error message to tell me what's missing?

Okay, so for a while I was messing about with the different freeware KSEA sceneries that were about until taxi2gate came along. When I say messing about, porting over my fs9 version and trying to get it to work with orbx. Anyway, ever since, I seem to be missing a texture from KSEA, which now appears as a massive black skyscraper which appears to the right of rwy 34r. I assume it's a radio tower of some sort. So.... How do I re find this texture or can I pull the textures from the fsx disk to manually reinstall it Please help!! Dan

I'm hoping it has. Just started downloading the installers again that are updated. Thanks for your help and advice! Dan

I went through the instructions step by step posted on the main pmdg forum and then re installed. I then had to set up my panel saved state again as ngx short turn and as soon as i did, this happens! I've just checked the ops centre and there is (another?) update.... Is that the fix?

Can someone help? Since downloading the new installer and following all the instructions I'm getting an annoying problem... The FMC now starts on the service/failure page but displays no issues. However once it's fired up and ready to taxi, I cannot extinguish the annunciatior panel as the fuel and anti ice are illuminated. There are no faults on the fmc and all the checklists have been followed. This has only started since I updated the ngx. And I've clean installed it twice now to no avail. It happen on all my liveries.... Dan

I think I've passed the point of no return with the reconfigured screens, I've made so many new cfg's with the plugs different way arounds! I was going to try the nvidia surround, but I need one of the monitors to be used in portrait not landscape due to where they are placed in my mip....
