Thanks Rick, much appreciated! Jon

Hi All, I’ve got a simulator test coming up in a Boeing 757 200 sim. I’ve downloaded the Quality wings 757 but the pitch power settings aren’t accurate. In the real aircraft, approx 1.18 EPR and 6 degrees nose up (clean) will give 220 knots. My sim requires 1.26 EPR with 4 degrees nose up to achieve 220 knots. I’ve tried different weights but nothing seems to make any diddference. Can anyone advise or help please? Or suggest a more accurate 757? Thanks Jon

Thanks for your replies, it's really appreciated! Bob, I've just installed PMDG on a different PC and it seems to be working fine. First impressions are that it's incredibly realistic. One thing missing from the ifly 737 is 'Engine Out Acceleration Height' on Takeoff page 2. PMDG has got it which is very useful! Cheers Jon

Thanks Bob, Yes, of course it's centre tank and not tanks! My mistake. It was burning fuel way too quickly, I fly a 737 in real life so know what the burn should be. I actually solved it by deleting all the key assignments connected with 'mixture'. Unfortunately though, I still can't get the PMDG to run anywhere near as well as my Ifly 737 so probably just going to stick with that. Regards Jon

Hi All, Apologies if this has been asked before. I've just set up and installed the PMDG 737 NGX. All seems well apart from when I put the centre tanks on at which point the fuel burn becomes way too fast. Can anyone help please? Jon.

Hi all, I'm thinking of purchasing the PMDG 737 for FSX. Is it possible to enter the Engine Out Acceleration Altitude in the FMC on take off page 2? Thanks, Jon.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've purchased the ifly 737 now and it seems pretty good. A quick question though, how do you display the RMI needles on the EFIS? In the manual there's a picture but no instructions as to how to do it. Thanks, Jon.

Thanks, looks like my computer meets the specs for the iFly 737. Has anyone else tried this one?

FSX I think

Hi All, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. I've just purchased PERFECT FLIGHT - ULTIMATE 737NG. I would have gone for the PMDG 737 but not sure my computer would handle it. My question is what pitch attitude should the TOGA pitch the flight director to? Mine is only going to 8 degrees whereas I'm pretty sure in a real 737 it pitches to about 15 degrees? I've got a couple of airline assessments coming up and could really do with my sim behaving like the real thing. Any help/tips and tricks/advice would be greatly appreciated, Jon.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. Yes it is Microsoft FSX. looks like I'm going to have put a support ticket in. Cheers, Jon.

Thanks ckyliu, I did check all that and no joy. I'll send a support ticket. jon.

Hi, they're totally blank. Jon.

Great thanks Chintzo, I'll give it a try. Jon.
