WXR is no doubt a great thing. But some of us simply cannot afford ASN on top of $100 full pack for the NGX and another $120 for the T7... Or cannot handle it systems-wise. It'd be very nice to see some visual changes that we all can enjoy such as Splits (becoming more common IRL as well)

The real thing I want to know - will we get Split Scimitars yet? Or is that like a SP2 thing?

Done. The kicker is that it only happens after programming the FMS... And it happens every time I load up the flight, but only after the FMS is programmed and EXEC is pressed. Any stage up to that point shows no external model issues. As soon as I execute the FMS, the external model totally disappears.

I have the autogen down the whole way... And the AI turned way down as well. I don't use addon scenerys or photorealistic scenery either. So besides ACARS (outside) there is nothing special. Just vanilla FSX with the T7. I've heard that VAS is mostly hit by those things, so I turned them off and down. I have 8GB RAM, and while I understand FSX can only use half of that, it's perplexing to me why JUST the T7 would cause high enough VAS to skeleton. The virtual cockpit still works perfectly fine, and I can still see the plane just fine from top down. Any of the other external views show a skeleton

Howdy. After 20-ish long haul hours wih no flaw, the T7 seems to be bugging out. After the FMS is programmed, the exterior views become skeleton. All I see is pax windows and the engine fan. After I exit the current sim, I load up in a default a/c then back in the T7. My view is entirely black but the click spots are still there. I can switch views, but they're all black. Never had this issue before. Anyone know? I do have highmemfix as well as the automation core installed per the manual. Thanks

I think I've decided.. Yall just make my wallet tempt me. I'm gonna pull the trigger on the MD and the 777 in T-1hr. Cannot wait. From what I gather, all that may have to happen is the sliders being turned down a little bit for the 777. Fine with that as long as I can actually fly like it was intended. Thanks and I will post back with first impressions I think I've decided.. Yall just make my wallet tempt me. I'm gonna pull the trigger on the MD and the 777 in T-1hr. Cannot wait.

64-bit yes. VRAM no. AFAIK the integrated GPUs don't have dedicated VRam

Bottom line - will it run? I can run the AXE and the iFly at 15 fps. No addons besides the planes

I use none of the above. Just aircraft I've also heard good things about the MD/11. What would yall recommend between the two? MD-11 or 777 both look comparable. Which would yall recommend?

I use no addons. No wx, no scenery, no textures. Just WoAI packs. My focus is on simming not eyecandy. Think it'll be ok? From what I've heard VAS is most hit by textures and scenerys and photorealistic scenery.

Thanks for the reply. My main thing is that my primary aircraft is the iFly FSX or Aerosoft's Airbus. I do own the NGX, but it was a purposeful copy for review that is not currently installed. That being said, I average about 15 in both of those aircraft.

But as far as usability.. I'm fine with my iFly framerates. Would the T7 be bankably similar (worth the $80 gamble if it doesn't?) Hate to buy something that expensive and have it fail on me. I'm not huge on the MD's style of FMS either from reviews

Howdy all, I'm looking for a new addon. Decided on PMDG for sure - not sure which one. I have the iFly NG as well as the NGX.. And average 15 frames in each. This is acceptable for me given my rig 2013 MacBook Pro 2.9 GhZ i7 Haswell (usually runs around 3.3 with Turbo) 8GB RAM Intel HD 4000 GPU (not great, I know. But this is a work issued machine and I simply cannot afford $1500+ to build a new rig) 1TB SSD My only reservation with the T7 is graphics. From what I've gathered it will probably work similar to the iFly. Any opinions? I need something that will be a long-hauler (occasionally set-and-forget). What say you all?

8GB RAM. The only reason I ask is because of what they said. May. Thanks for the response - Steven Madigan

Hello all! I am new here. Looking to get further into the sim. With Aerosoft's Christmas sale, I am contemplating the 777. I do not have a "great" rig, but in the iFly NG for FSX I can pull 25-30 frames (which is acceptable to me) with FSRealWX weather. Please don't be that one who tells me what I need to improve on my computer - I have a limited budget and cannot afford another fancy computer. Just want opinions or experience on whether or not it will work. Here are my stats: (I am BootCamped to Win 7 Home Premium) 2013 MacBook Pro 2.9 gHz Dual-Core i7 (turbo to 3.3 gHz) Intel HD 4000 graphics (This is what I'm worried about.. The processor always runs above 3.1 ) 1Tb Solid State SSD Looking for 20-25 frames in the VC in CAVOK. Will it perform? --Steve Not sure what signing is.. Hope this'll hold over until I can find out
