Apparently US jet fuel freezes at -37C whilst European jet fuel freezes at around -46C and Japanese fuel freezes at -50C so suggest you fill up at Narita !!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am unable to adjust trim at all and use the Logitech G940 rudder, stIck and throttle system. When I apply an input I can see the trim button on the aircraft control column actually moving but nothing happens in response and it is impossible to adjust the overall trim status. Do I need to instal FSUIPC as mentioned earlier in this thread? Steve D London UK

Thank you, will check that if it happens again but don't think that was the cause as it was the same on both seats despite trying lots of positions. Steve D London UK

Has anyone else had this issue - on a flight from KLAX to OMDB and just turning onto runway for departure when suddenly all the input to any control is lost. By that I mean that all mouse input to any button or switch is no longer available. Very frustrating as had to completely abort the flight! Any thoughts appreciated... I am using Track IR and have Logitech G940 Rudders, throttle and stick. Also finding trimming pretty impossible! Otherwise love it with frame rates above 30fps using FlyTampa Dubai!!!

At this price it is bargain given the hours of pleasure it will offer. I have bought two copies so that my 12yr old son can practice as he is determined to fly the real thing in around 10 years time. Can't put a price on that. Steve D London UK

A slightly slow order process which I fully expected on launch day. But soon after downloading the 778mb file (1mb too many of course!) in under 5 mins I had installed everything including 9 liveries and within just 30 mins of sitting down and starting the purchase - WOW! Aircraft is a masterpiece - to anyone having difficulties right now just be patient - it is so worth it. Just enough time for a trip around KLAX before bed. Will be buying a second copy for my son tomorrow! Thank you Robert & PMDG team. Steve D London UK

Yes I flew with no pax, no payload and took extra care with all possible economies along the way. On average had around 80kt tailwind too. Just shows how far you can push it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to see what range my NGX could achieve I set off from Newark to London Gatwick and picked up a nice tailwind, courtesy of REX. After reviewing the fuel burn and estimates I then kept extending the destination and finally landed in Larnaca, Cyprus, some 4818nm later. Does anyone know is this is possible in reality? By the way, I speeded up the sim to 4x sim rate although I don't think this messed up the accuracy of the fuel management. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with Ricky, NGX is so epic that I am not too fussed whether 777x is released now or in a few months time. I would rather PMDG fine tuned any new additions, performance factors and other detail so that I (and my son!) can enjoy it as much as NGX!

United are also very good with kids and invited my son onto the flight deck without us even asking. Only a quick visit and then presented with a plastic "pilots wings" badge - nice touch! But surely the rules do not apply on the ground with engines off at the gate and where the captain is in attendance. If this is an issue then I would have thought United would be aware and not proactively invite children onto the flight deck per-flight?

And United are also very friendly, invited my son into the flight deck for a quick visit recently at Las Vegas on boarding - we didn't even have to ask!
