I have fsx (I also have steam but haven't switched over to it) and a number of addons PMG, majestic dash 8, rex soft clouds and textures, ASN, proatc, fs2crew, various addon airports etc. I have been using windows 7, but am thinking about upgrading to windows 10. Are all the various addons now working with windows 10 or will upgrading create a problem? Has upgrading improved simulator performance for anyone? I have been holding off on upgrading so that I didn't break anything but its been awhile now. Thanks

I'm toying with the idea of switching over to P3D from FSX. I have OOM problems with FSX when I use the 777 to the point where I don't even fly the plane anymore. Is the improvement worth switching over from FSX knowing that I will have to repurchase a number of planes etc?

I purchased this product in the past few months and so far have only used it once. I need to get motivated to go through everything to set it up properly, but this update may be the motivation I need to really dig in and get it up and running for some of my flights. Active development of a product is never a bad thing!

I bought this product, but have only had one flight with it so far. I need to do a lot of tweaking as it did not work super well, but I didn't do much in the way of setup so I will have to reserve judgement until I have time to really dig into it and see what it can do.

Yes, I don't remember reading about another update coming for 737ngx. Is there a post somewhere that takes about what the additional functionality might be? One of the reasons why I am happy to spend money on pmdg products is they continue to update them and make improvements to their products, which are pretty darn great already. Chris H

I usually set the knobs on the overhead panel and I think when using fs2crew the co-pilot may do it. No idea if it makes a difference, but I do it anyway.

I have the Dash 8. Although I primarily fly the 737ngx or pmdg 777, the dash 8 is quite good and rather an involved plane to fly. I would recommend it.

I use ASN with rex textutes/soft clouds and I am happy with it.

This is an interesting video. Not really a starter's guide but once you got the basics and are running flows it adds some interesting tidbits. I'm not sure if Boeing has changed their SOP since this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvcrhoMHFns

I just asked the same question few days ago. Here is a link so you can see some of the recommendations. http://www.avsim.com/topic/473564-best-youtube-tutorial-for-737ngx/#entry3286236 Chris H

I think I asked this in the past but things change as new developments occur. I have been away from fsx for awhile now and am wondering what the best atc software out there is. I fly mainly jetliners like the 737 ngx or pmdg 777. I have voxatch but have been looking at pro atc x. For awhile it seemed like they vanished but I am not sure that is the case anymore.

Thanks. I took a quick look at some of the videos and liked what I saw. I will go through them this weekend in detail along with Kyle's tutorial.

Yes, I have watched pretty much every froogle video and I am an avid follower of his. I do currently have pfpx, topcat, asn and rex soft clouds. I haven't updated my navigraph in like a year though and have never purchased charts although I have used google and have EFB. I will look into the chart app for ipad. By the way your rundown of SOP 3 is great I will probably print it out for when I give it a try.

Since I purchased fs2crew reboot I am going to start flying the 737ngx again after taking a break from the flight sim. Can anyone recommend a really thorough youtube video explaining the procedures for flying etc, so I can refresh my memory. I'm not talking about a quick this is how I do it but its not realistic type of deal. I can get the plane from point A to point B myself even from a cold and dark. I'm looking for more of an authentic this is similar to real world procedures and explaining some of the nuances and advanced concepts. I still haven't found a youtube with someone running sop 3, well I did find one video but the sound is whacky on it and I can't hear the copilot. I'm just looking to get back into it and to take my simming to more advanced level. Chris H

How is pro-atc X now? Specifically I want to use it for IFR with te 737ngx, 777 etc and I am wondering if it is still a work in progress or if it has reached a stage where its worth spending the money for and is functional without a lot of hassle. I've been holding off for awhile. Thanks.
