Freeware livery for the PMDG NGX from McPhat Studios. -
Hello, can anybody tell how PMDG make that detail cockpit? I wanna make a A350-800-900-900R-1000-F Versions This is what i wanna know: What kind of software they use (example: FS Design Studio 3.5) how they create the model (.MDL Files) how they make a virtual cockpit that fully works If the software is secret (or other) please tell then the best alternitive. Thanks Hugo

I have gotten very tired of waiting for cockpit and exterior textures on the 777 to load. The cockpit textures can take as long as 3 seconds to load. So I was messing around flipping from external to internal while taxing and noticed something peculiar. If you have spent a significant amount of time outside the cockpit and then return, texture loading (for me anyways) is painfully slow. If you switch from, say Locked Spot View to Cockpit and immediately switch back to external and then immediately back to cockpit, the textures are there 100% instantly. My question is why can it load the textures in less than a second there, but not otherwise? Hoping someone out there with technical knowledge can come up with work around possibly involving FSUIPC4. What I did for now is; assign a button in FSUIPC on my Xbox controller initial press is a left rear view and the release is the Captains cockpit view in all its glory. it doesn't have to be a cockpit view on the initial press, it was just convenient for the test. Hope this makes sense.

I have an issue with the default A321 cockpit. Whenever I download an Airbus addon which already has the default a321 cockpit installed, the 'roll bar' of the flight director never works. The 'pitch bar' always works fine but the roll bar is never active in any mode. Anybody know of any fixes for this?

Greetings! I have a perhaps clueless question about how to get a clock, any clock, into an aircraft that does not have a clock. I have been logging my flight times (start from cold/dark, taxi, take-off, land, taxi, shutdown) mostly using my wrist watch, just like a real pilot! However, I find that my flights are often interrupted by real-world demands (cook dinner, let the dogs out, let the dogs in, go to the loo) and it would be nice to PAUSE and have flight time stop as well. Some of my modus-interruptus scribbles can be pretty cryptic, particularly if I forget to note the start or stop time of an interruption. Some of my aircraft have a clock, some don't. Is there a utility app that can pop-up a clock with a keystroke? Hopefully this is an ignoramus question, and such a feature obviously exists. The Google did not tell me much, deviating into CPU clock speeds on the eighth entry... Thanks!

Hi, I don't know if this subject has already been dealt with but in the past several days I have been trying to find a way to read the display offsets from the electrical panel on the 737NG. Unlike the ALT and LAND displays, there are no offsets listed in the SDK file for the 7-segment displays in the electrical panel. Is via PMDG 737NG offsets the only way to interface LEDs? Or is there an other way to read these numbers? thanks for your help in advance! Greetings, Wout

Lots of news lately about X-Plane's current and upcoming 737 simulations, but I haven't seen much mentioned here regarding the upcoming virtual cockpit for EADT's x737 project. While the cockpit has been in the works for a while now, it's begun to take shape over the past several weeks and the devs have been sharing some eye candy over on the .Org. In case you've missed it, check out the screens below! Note: the most recent updates have stressed that this is still a way out since additional systems need to be implemented, so try not to get too antsy! Also, when the cockpit is completed, the project will remain donationware.

HI, i´ve been having a problem with the aircraft recently. Some parts, such as engines (the engine cover appears, the inside of the engine doesnt appear), the wheels are "floating", and the APU exhaust is empty (i can see the sky through the exhaust hole). Thanks, Tatin 98

This needs the GPWS warning system for the planes including the 'woop woop, pull up' sound. ALSO I beg for you guys to light up the cockpit in planes at nightime because it is too dark

Testflight of the B777 of SIMAIR at Mettmenstetten (near Zurich). It is a Flightdeck Solution Device. Software: SIM-AVIONICS One day before the grand opening Steve Cos (Special Project Manager FDS / F/O at this flight) and Klemens Klein (CEO FLIGHTSIMTECH GmbH) performed a testflight and a little type-training. Enjoy and regards. Fher.

Hey guys, I am in the process of starting a flight simulation center in my country where everyone can come and experience the thrill of flying first hand in realistic cockpits at reasonable rates. As of now, my plans are to include one fixed base A320 full cockpit 1:1 scale simulator, two cessna/piper (gen. aviation) simulators and two full motion simulators for jet fighters. I am planning to start up in the next 3 months and right now I am in the process of trying to find a name for the center and stuck with almost no options.. just a couple which i really need to work on. Who would have thought naming a Flight sim centre would be such hard work... As such I am asking you guys to help me with this and help me in finding an awesome , cool name for my flight sim center.. Pitch in as many ideas and suggestions you have as it will help me in finding the perfect name for my project. Thanking you all in advance... Saifudeen Shamsudeen

Just a small video of my flight into Arlanda today. The cockpit video is live, while the external views are from fs recorder (replay). Unfortunately I couldnt remove the chocks on replay, so please pardon that. Enjoy :) -
Hi all The reason I got back into FSX was to teach a friend how to fly. This worked well on the default aircraft but as he progressed and we chose more complex aircraft to fly shared cockpit wasn't supported. We're at the stage now where we are starting a VA with an emphasis on multiplayer flying, Eclipse Virtual. I'm sure many of you share the same frustrations and I started to think of workarounds to this. The issue seems to be that the gauges can't talk to each other if they are not created in a format FSX can understand. I was wondering if it would be possible to create some software that bypassed this, or indeed, if any software already existed that would send the commands from one cockpit to another without having to understand the gauge logic. My thought process was as follows; FSUIPC can log commands within the sim i.e. If I was flying the PMDG 737 NGX and pressed the ARR/DEP FMS switch then then that command would be logged. Could some software not just send that command to the other player and have his ARR/DEP button initiated too? I appreciate that the information on panel start would have to be identical, switches in the same position, fuel load the same etc. but I lack the geekery needed to see any paticular problem with this. As with all good ideas I'm sure this has been thought of before! If someone with the knowledge could enlighten me as to the issues with this I'd appreciate it. Thanks Samson -
Hello Guys, I have one question isn't supposed to see the wing inside de 3d cockpit in the 737 NGX, i tried but without sucess i pulled the cam to the left and still nothing, is some option that i need to enable?

I've compared the cockpit sound of the NGX (the WAV-file) to some video clips I have from some 737NG cockpits.One of them where the aircraft is just finished with one flight and preparing for another I find that the sound of the NGX does match.But of the other clip where the aircraft has been shut down for a night stop (video clip included) I find that the sound do not match. Take a look on the video clip and listen Regards Stig HaraldNorway

I thought I'd share my current project with you guys to both share my excitement and to also perhaps get some input from others of you who have ventured down the same path. I've decided to fulfill my lifelong dream of building my own home cockpit. I'm not going off of any plans whatsoever, this has been the product of years of looking at other folk's simulation setups and months of talking over designs with a friend of mine who's lending me a hand in the construction of this. I like going the "no plan" route because it gives me the opportunity to customize the thing to exactly what I am desiring. So, here' goes. Our first decision was that this thing needed to be modular and relatively easy to disassemble in the event that I should move. I was finally building this thing, I sure as heck wasn't going to want to leave it behind if we ever had to move. So, we came up with a plan that would include essentially 7 components. The 4'x8' base (on castors to make it easy to move around the floor should I need to do that), the back section which is structural, but also doubles as a convenient shelf, the seat box to which the seats will be bolted, the "desk" who's only real job is to support the instrument panel, but also double as a surface for keyboard/mouse when I need to do real work, the instrument panel console, the display assembly (which will also double as the front wall of the simulator, and finally the ceiling to help enclose the whole thing. All of these things will be bolted together with a few bolts which should give it strength but also allow for simple dissasembly. on of my concept drawings (I'm certainly no artist!): The base: The back framed in, and seat box built: a temporary "desk" to figure out spacing and measurements: desk is built, and front display wall is framed in: and this is where I'm currently at. My friend is working on the instrument console panel using MDF to built up a glare shield and the curved panel where the instruments will go. This is going to be made in such a way that it is easily removed from the cockpit so the thing can be used for other gaming or work purposes. I am planning on using a monitor behind the yoke, built into the instrument panel, to display the actual instruments. I've got a saitek radio panel and am considering other saitek panels, just haven't decided what I really need yet. Thanks for having a look! Jeremy

Hi all I hope you can help a complete newbie here. I am looking to build an overhead panel for the Aerosoft Airbus A318,A319,A320,A321. I have a lot of questions to ask you all. First off, for switches like ON OFF am I right in using SPST switches? E.g. landing gear Secondly, for switches such as, ON AUTO OFF. What switches do I use? Links? Does the full version of FSUIPC come with the mouse macro function? If so does it work with the Aerosoft Airbus? Also, does anyone have any links to a useful FSUIPC video using the mouse macro and the ON AUTO OFF switches? These are all the questions I can think of at the moment, although im sure there are many more to come Thanks a lot! I'd appreciate the help!

Once upon a time I used to put my cursor on a knob or a Direction Indicator and I could see information such as what the dial is or what heading I had, not sure what happened but now I have nothing when I hover my cursor over said knobs, dials and buttons etc. I seem to recollect this action before I installed DX10 Fixer so wonder if that's the problem? I checked the various options. Show Cockpit Tool Tips is checked so if there is there something I've missed? Thanks

Hi there please can anyone help me as every time i totally reinstall my 737 NGX and install any liverys my plane starts in a cold and dark with engines running and if i click anything in the cockpit it fatel errors. Also the 3 instruments next to the 2nd display are just black! HELP!!! -
The noise at the flightdeck is just too loud - cant hear vatsim....
Guest posted a topic in PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu
I recognize that being in the flight deck of an actual B738, that it's going to be very loud, given all the running avionics. I totally get that. However, in the sim world, there's gotta be a way to somewhat lower the volume on the noise that continues to remain unchanged no matter how much I adjust the FSX sound settings. I have turned down the following: engine, environment (thunder, wind, etc.), and the cockpit (switches, buzzers, alarms, etc...) and it does not seem to affect this other noise that continues in the cockpit. I dont know if it's APU, packs, or what... but it needs to be lowered so that I can hear the VATSIM comms.... Any insight would be appreciated.. -
Hello guys, im a new member here and a new aviation enthusiast I am planning to start my PPL next year and in the meanwhile I decided to build a Cessna 172 simulator with my father in order to practice as much as I can. the purpose of this design is to be as much closer to reality but also be efficient in terms of space and everyday normal computer use here is the simulator and the build process: https://picasaweb.google.com/100283970678072201730/BuildingTheFlightSimulator?authuser=0&feat=directlink any suggestions for improvement are welcome
