For someone who is mainly interested to hand fly patterns is the module recommended? Are the FM physics believable?

Thanks for the detailed info Mik75! How does crosswind landing feel? Do you have that '' flying on rails'' effect or it feels more natural? And how do you compare the flight model to the pmdg 737ng ?(you mentioned only ixeg and majestic above). On a side note (slightly off topic) the best FBW ever created in a flight sim addon (in general , not only in fsx) is this : http://www.bmsforum.org/forum/content.php?149-Flight-Model-(FM)-Developer-s-Notes-Part-4), simply because the real (and not a guessed) hardware code is incorporated in the simulator.

Simujabs.com offers a full 737 yoke for 859 euro.

There was a similar topic in the past (regarding jetmax and the pmdg 747) http://forum.avsim.net/topic/411719-programing-reverse-thrust-with-fsuipc/ You can ask perhaps the thread starter if he has found a solution.

Through FSUIPC

Well i have a 737 TQ (not from Jetmax but from cockpitforyou) and have a similar problem. What works for me, is moving the reverser handles not completely but halfaway up, which activates the idle part of the reversers, waiting for 1 second and then advancing the levers to the top position, which activate full reverse thrust. I do the opposite to deactive the reversers.

Every movement on the throttle is replicated in the NGX. Haven't noticed so far any problem with the autopilot. Post some pictures from your build

I received the FANTASTIC 737 throttle from cockpitforyou.com a week ago and have programmed all the functions through fsuipc. spoiler, flaps, throttle and reversers through the 1) joystick calibration (first) and 2) axis assignment the rest functions (A/T dissengage, parking brake, TO/GA etc, ) through the buttons and keys assignment. Haven't so far programmed the trim wheels because i don't want it. I had never before used fsuipc , but it took me very little time to program all the functions. Can't comment about the saitek function, i have configured my ACE 737 yoke through the default fsx menu.

I have the ACE 737 yoke and i can say that it was a completely new experience to fly the PMDG 737ngx. The problem with most yoke's is, that they provide very limited range of motion , which makes accurate flying very difficult (the opposite is true when you fly bms f-16 jet with a force sensor sidestick). I was also considering to buy the GoFlight yoke, but judging from the available pictures, the overall pitch movement seems to be to small . (look in comparison various youtube ''737 yoke '' videos). Also the look and metal feel is different , and propably, the durability. My personal advise : if you have the change, go and try the unit.

I use Aerosoft Dublin' s airport + FTX Ireland, no problem so far. Except that when it's raining, i don't see the (fantastic in default fsx) wet runway effect but rather some shadows. But i don't know if this is a true texture problem or the way the developeres have coded the product .(didn't received an answer in their support forum).

Hi to all!, i would like to ask, if there is an option / posibility to change the landing checklist sequence (or the others checklists also ). My preffered RYR landing checklist is ENGINE START SWS CONT RECALL CHECKED SPEEDBRAKE ARMED, GREEN LIGHT LANDING GEAR DOWN , 3 GREEN AUTOBRAKE ___ SET FLAPS ___ GREEN LIGHT LANDING LIGHTS ON Thanks !

Hi! Let's say that i have to follow a SID procedure with an ''at'' altitude constraint at 3000 ft and ATC gives clearance to climb to 5000ft via the SID (without cancelling the 3000 ft altitude restriction). What are the correct actions with VNAV selected : 1) set the final altitude (5000ft) in the MCP and watch carefully if VNAV will satisfy the 3000 ft altitude restricition. Or 2) set the First altitude constraint in the MCP window, and after the restriction set the altitude to 5000ft. In that case i have to remember what was the ATC clearance altitude (which can be tricky with mutliple intermediate constraints). The FCTM states : All hard altitude climb restricitions should be set in the MCP altitude window including ''at or below'' constraints. The next altitude may be set when the restriction has benn satisfied, or further clearance has been received. This procedure provides altitude alerting and assures compliance with altitude clearance limit. Can someone explain this to me, according to the above mentioned example? Thanks Gerasimos Stamatatos

The 560 ti died , so i can't go back . The conclusion is , that the i7 4790K + 770 /780 (or above) combination runs guaranteed fsx smooth, even with heavy addons. .

My experience is lttile different. Was running an i5 2500 non K (with turbo boost enabled it was running at 3,5ghz) combined with a 560ti and upgraded to gtx 770 2gb. I saw some small improvement, but the overall performance in FSX was poor (in low altitudes or on the ground). pmdg 737 + ftx ireland + aerosoft dublin + ASN + REX 4 = low 10's fps during landing / takeoff / taxi, some times single digits . Autogen normal , Traffic very low or 0, shadows off, graphic settings high. Also, my framerates were steady regardless the resolution i was using (from 1280 X 1024 up to 2560 X 1440) Yesterday i installed an i7 4790k + msi gaming 5 MB + a zalman cooler. With turbo boost enabled, the cpu is runing steady at 4,4Ghz. I can't describe how smooth the game is running now with higer settings The framerates increased 300 % (in the above mentioned senario from 11 - 12 to 33 fps as an example). It's a total different game. My resolution is 2560 x 1440 resolution (U2713hm) + little AF and AA.
