To quote Skysurfer007 (his videos), "I love it!" Great to see your ongoing interest in PMDGs NGX. Many thanks for your wonderful and informative videos <- unequalled, in a class of its own!! Hope to see new ones soon..... I do also hope PMDG take notice of all his suggestions including adding 'Custom waypoints' <- definitely would be the go. Gary Peel

Some good work arounds shown above! I remember going to an air-show once and being on the flight deck of some 'large' american jet. The kids were encouraged, under supervision (amazing really), to flick switches and have a good 'play'. I remember thinking, I wouldn't like to be on the first flight, in case something had been overlooked...... I wonder how many of ngx pilots actually go through the full pre-start checklist every time, or do you (like me) often take shortcuts knowing 'all' switches are in the normal/usual position?? GaryP

Hi all Maybe this has been spoken of before????? I'm finding that once I load the NGX in Cold and Start, I tend to 'ignore' checking all switch positions. I only concentrate on those which seem necessary to get the plane in the air. I take this shortcut because I know and am 'confident' that not all switch positions need to be checked as they are always in the same position. In real life, I suspect that any switch/dial/lock out/etc, could be left in any position. To 'force' you to check all switches, wouldn't it be great if a 'random switch position' setup could be optioned. Maybe this 'random' feature could be added in the Failures menu?? if you really did have to check everything, I believe that this would provide further interest and importantly also keep skills honed. Any thoughts? GaryP
