  1. Hello! Im thinking of getting an X55 HOTAS and I KNOW i can set anything to reverse thrust for a 777 or 737 PMDG for FSX but if I go ALL THE WAY back on the throttle, does that act as reverse thrust or idle? Do you have the X55? What do you use as reverse? Thanks
  2. Alright, is it responsive and no delay at all? Do you use them? Finally, random question and issue I have with FSX.....I never know what my curisng altitude should be...Like from Newyork to Philly, How much do you think it should be in a NGX 737?
  3. Hello! I was deciding between the Saitek yoke and rudder or the X55. Dont wanna get too indepth but is the X55 good for boeings like the NGX 737 and cessnas or would it make sense to get the 6 year old yoke? Will using an X55 feel weird and is it any good to set flaps as there isnt really a lever or anything like that? You get what I mean, If i want to fly Boeings and Cessnas, whats better? x55 or saitek yoke and rudder and what are the cons of both of them (the x55 and yoke, besides the rudder) and ill just tell me whats better for me. Please dont say its up to you, i dont want this to go too indepth, just looking for 1 or 2 straight forward answers Thanks in advance.
  4. btw do you guys want to make aviation a career or its not worth it for the money? Because the only reason I want to by this stuff is to help me learn and become a pilot but sometimes i think Its not worth it cause the pay. Do all pilots start at the regionals?
  5. um can you guys please answer my question above? :( EDIT: Didnt see your answer....Yeah but I just said give me 1-3 words :3 Yoke+throttle + Rudder or X55 FOR ME, from all youve learned and judging by quality and durability and realisim, just tell me what is better for me.
  6. Whoa whoa Whoa! Slow down Ok IF I GET THE YOKE, I NEED THE RUDDER, the rudder isnt only for taxiing...Lol. It has some good use in the air and while alligining with the runway... So you are looking to upgrade your yoke? See, all of this "people stopped using their yokes" really make my wonder if I should just get a freaking X55..... Guys, forget about me, what would you get if you had NO CONTROLLERS and can only get one, Yoke and rudder or just X55....TELL ME JUST SAY IT DONT SAY ITS UP TO YOU JUST SAY IT.
  7. Ah so I FOR ME it may be a one size fits all for the yoke and rudder because I will only fly boeings and cessnas, so the yoke isnt old and outdated and the rudder has brakes right?
  8. BTW read my specs and tell me if its enough to run smoothly with the THREE addons i mentioned...CPU is at 4ghz btw.
  9. Ill get the panels later...YEAH i do have a PMDG NGX 737 so how does this sound Saitek Yoke Saitek Rudder FTX REX 4 ASN ? Ok so im going for the yoke, but which addon do you think I should Cut down on ? ORBX to get a PMDG 777 or which addon for what hardware?
  10. Hello! I need a controller for FSX and stuff to fly the things I always and usually only fly (Boeings and Cessnas)... Please tell me what I should get for the controller. As for addons, I already know I want --- FTX ORBX Global REX 4 texture Direct Active Sky Next Thats 179 dollars right there....If I get the X55 Hotas, I wont have a problem with getting that and those 3 addons, Or, I can get Saitek pro flight yoke + throttle (the one it comes with) Saitek Pro flight Rudder Pedals FTX REX 4 ASN That will cost around 450$ I have 290, But in like One month I will have ATLEAST 390...EITHER way I have to wait til the end of this month to get anything. So what makes more sense for me? A yoke or a joystick? is the saitek yoke nice, no lag, good quality, feel real? I can just get the Yoke, Rudder, EXTRA throttle to have two and a swtich panel but no addons so FSX wont look good....Should I just do that? So lets count that.... What should i get??? Thanks
  11. Hello! This is on the PMDG section because I think i am too zoomed out for my HUD in the NGX 737 to display what it should porperly. When I do CTRL Z twice i get the red notification of FPS and such but in the right corner I dont get how much Im Zoomed in so I cant know what level of zoom im in. This is for FSX, any ideas? Just a small issue Thanks
  12. Thanks guys! I'll be sure to check it out. Alpha floor, simbrief is a nice site that sets the whole route for me so I can have fun while learning how do it all alone. That is just a reply to the other topic. Thanks for the stuff guys!
  13. Had to stay awake to see your reply. Thanks man. I am watching that whole video tomorrow. After that, hoping for a video that shows me where and explains where the sids and the routes go into the FMC. I want the PMDG 777 badly because I dont wanna fly a 737 in the future, but a great start. I didnt have 80 dollars at the time and was impatient and got the 737. When i posted this http://forum.avsim.net/topic/440927-how-to-know-what-my-routesairways-are-fsx-pmdg-777lrf/ I was on my friends PC trying it out for 1 flight, too bad I didnt do the flight not knowing my routes. Thats besides the point. Thanks for your help, i will watch kyles video on routing tomorrow, but I had 1 question left, even after knowing my routes and that, where to I put them in the FMC? I know I did it with the tutorial but that was a 1 time thing...Do you think I should do ILS approaches without L NAV AND VNAV and just talking to ATC using heading and VOR LOC and APP? Just for fun while I learn about the LNAV AND VNAV and FMC routes and stuff? G'Night.
  14. Sorry, Ill watch it tomorrow. Not everything NOW its just im travelling for a few months in a few days leaving my PC behind forcing me to use my laptop for FSX with finals coming up and all. What exactly does that video teach? I WILL Watch it but no one is really answering my main question but I can see why. Sorry if I got you ######, I just need to know WHERE TO START. YOU ALL were in my position not knowing about this so tell me what you use and how to get better. Want me to tell you why? I turn 15 in two months. Im havent even started training. That is why the FMC confuses me, you guys have a higher level of experience. I just want to get an idea of stuff before training. I see kids 15 and 16 using the FMC and the NGX perfectly so I want to be like , not huge indepth stuff I should be learning later on. P.I.S.S.E.D is what I said, nothing insulting dont worry. So i will see your replies tomorrow to these. Link to good route planning sites. Where to learn how to use the FMC for ILS landings and use it just like everyone else. And finally, Sids and Stars (nothing too indepth, just to get a working proper route in the FMC like tutorial 1) Still early on using this stuff, so dont rush me please.
  15. I just thought of something..Maybe i should do the NGX tutoiral 1 flight again but use a route planner for that same route and see where they put each of the airways and how it all works....that should help. Also,2.3 hours? Sadly, I dont have time for that as its been busy here. ^ So true. I need to go to bed now. before I leave...for routing, flight planning and finding the airways sids and stars i need for a flight, which sites do you all recommended?
  16. I also went from the FSX STOCK 737 cockpit and controls only using VOR LOC and APP and heading to do ILS landings cause LNAV AND VNAV were not useable of course. Yeah I wasnt asking him to make a video, i was giving you an idea of how I prefer to learn. A change of the quote you just gave Show a man how to use an FMC and plan routes for a flight and He will use it once (Just like how I used it perfectly from the Tutorial 1), teach a man how to set the FMC up and plan routes and he will use that forever I can learn fast, I just need a good starting point.
  17. I used to use the heading selector only and talk to ATC but now I dont talk to atc (i only have the fsx stock one) Should I be talking to ATC cause everyone with the NGX doesnt seem too....So when do I use LNAV and VNAV and when do I NOT use them. You see, I dony know that MERIT 3 needs ATC vectors....so much to learn...when will i be able to set up the NGX FMC and flight like how I did in tutorial 1 :( I know how to start the plane from cold and dark and ALL OF THAT....Just the FMC and routing issues :(
  18. I already got the NGX so that wont make a difference Yeah, well, how old do you think I am? 20? I am still learning so yep. Its 1 am here so I will continue the videos tomorrow. My main questions are on the FMC. Like on the RTE page where it says VIA AND TO, does everything there have to start with a J V OR Q as in do airways go into the via part, what goes into the TO page, so yeah , I need to learn a lot and Kyle''s videos do teach very well but i need to see someone/him put it into an FMC in the NGX like kyle, If you made a video of a full flight from KJFK TO KBOS in the NGX for a change, I would see which routes you use and how you use them.
  19. Ah ok. So for the flight im gonna do soon, I pick JFK1? I wanted to flight In L nav and V nav though. So what do I pick for my departure? Also, do I skip the 49 minute video you sent and watch the sids and stars one? since that is what Im confused about. Also, You said J V or Q and I have none except J for JFK1
  20. I used flight aware for like U said and put KJFK to KBOS and stole a B737 route The first airway is MERIT and THAT IS in my JFK DEPARTURE I also need tok now which trans to use cause the V3 and V419 stuff i dont know where to put
  21. Wow thats a long video. Thats you who made it right? Awesome. Ill be sure to hit the like button, already subbed. So this will tell me which one of those to use or what because I also need to know some usage of the FMC. I know about sids and stuff I just need a good tutorial on the FMC and which sids and stars to pick. I mean im not gonna spend hours for one short flight IN FSX
  22. Hello! In this video at like 7:15 he picks BCN Which is his first way point....I use the same site as him to plan routes and I want to go KJFK to KBOS and my first airway is NEWES and I dont get anything like NWS or so on my KJFK Departure page. Im sure everything is right with the FMC since so far I only did the pos Intl and stuff but which do i pick? BEETE3 DEEZZ3 GREKI3 HAPIT3 JFK1 MERIT3 SKORR3 None of those look like what is in my route planner ( http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ ) So please tell me, how do I know what to pick in the Departure page? Thanks I changed the altitude to 5000 in the route planner and it made my first airway WRENN and thats not in the Departure page too
  23. which panel state do i use cause after initialising it doesnt add all the stuff before landing. Panel states are there. just dont know which one to use
  24. Oh yeah I know where they are now Dont worry, I know how to save them! I was thinking flight plan but its just the Load button...derp. Im selecting the Before visual approach
