PMDG 737NGX Startup Review Part Three

[paololol098]

Ohhh ok thanks for your answer ! Glad to hear that :).

[paololol098]

WOW just amazing graphics !!!!! Heyy take a look at my specs.....would they run my sim like that ? GTX 580 3GB Gddr5. I7 980x extreme edition 6C overclocked @4 ghz. RAM : 12GB DDR3 @1600 Mhz. And high performance liquid cooling from intel. Thanks !

[FlightSimReviews]

@paololol098

Ya your PC would do just fine with this Add-On. My rig is a Intel 2600K @4.5 8GB DDR 3 and 2x 580s.

Again FSX doesnt take advantage of SLI or HT.

[FlightsimHD1]

Awesome. really helped!

[jayflies737]

If only I had the money...and a good computer. My system isn't good enough to run PMDG smooth.

[jayflies737]

If only I had the.

[Rickos1996]

Where can i find a checklist for this plane?

[TheAPerson12]

@Rickos1996 if you bought it its in the manuals of the the plane, the QRH ( quick reference handbook) should have all the normal checklists and the emergency checklists. The manuals are located in your fsx directory, pmdg folder, PMDG 737NGX, Flight manuals. Or you can search online for one

[riho420]

Is it FSX ?

[FlightSimReviews]

@riho420

Yes.

[HartsfieldSpotting]

why does it take like, 15 minutes for my engine to start?

[lagraf7683]

@HartsfieldSpotting In what sense? If you're finding that the engines are taking too long to get going after you open the start valves (i.e. not giving you the 22% N2 that you need), commonly people leave the air conditioning packs on, they need to be OFF for engine start. Is that the issue or is it something else?

[JonisKanonis]

Cool video! IRL You might wanna wait with the Strobes until line up on the runway...they tend to annoy other people on the ramp and taxiways.

:)

[Doped2k7]

Hi mate, nice review of the pre-take off procedures, no doubt you could probably take off in the real thing if you had to lol, just one question, how did you turn on the gauges? I noticed you flicking loads of switches.

[FlightSimReviews]

@Doped2k7

The DUs or displays will come on after there has been apu power for some time.

[benzboy77]

You have to do it through the fmc. Click on pmdg setup then you can switch it to cold and dark everytime you start it up

[bjovers1]

how do you start with a cold cockpit?? Mine always has everything operating.. its really annoying and I cant seem to find the settings for it.. Please reply if u know..

[lagraf7683]

@bjovers1 Go into the FMC under "Menu," then click "Setup." The displayed page will have "load panel state" (or words to that effect). Click on that then click on "CLDDRK" (or similar), this will initialise the NGX's cold and dark panel state, with every system off. Bear in mind when you click "CLDDRK" it will take a few seconds to actually work, as that is a lot of processing the sim has to do all (i.e. turn off all the NGX's systems at once).

[benzboy77]

Hi great video!! When I try to set my fmc it keeps saying to enter ils position. Before I program it I turn both knobs on the overhead panel to align. Is it that you have to wait for it in real life or is there a option just to align automatically? And I think because it doesn't align it won't let me program a flight plan is that correct? Thanks

[Flusi888]

Another awesome video !!

Just by the way .. The very left fuel pump feeds the APU as well. The APU can get fuel by it's own but usually the very left pump is turned on before starting the APU.

And I would use a different cost index :) Air Berlin for example uses a cost index of 15. It's kinda like how economic your plane should fly ;)

Thanks for that awesome review !!!!

[fryanventu]

Hi and great job!! One thing I know for sure is that a FLEX takeoff is different from a DERATED takeoff. During a flex takeoff you basically do a trick by saying to the FMC that the OAT is higher than the real, so the FMC calculate a lower N1 limit for takeoff. I'm not sure of what the procedure is for the derated takeoff, but you seem to mix hte two things by selecting a derated takeoff and a higer OAT. May you explain me that passage? Thanks for the vids anyway!!!

[FlightSimReviews]

@fryanventu

The 738 doesnt use a flex like some of the MD FMCs do to my knowledge. Turbines are rated at a certain thrust @ 30C. There for you can derate just on setting the temp.

[fryanventu]

@FlightSimReviews My lack of knowledge :-) Thanks for the reply!

[diegodaudt]

Great tutorial. I wish I learned as fast as you. FMCs aren't for me, so I'm trying to return my baby 737NGX... ;(. I'm used to the GPS. I wish it had a GPS.

[theboi808]

hey i have the pmdg 747 and i always have the problem with the IRS not aligning instant even though i set it to instant. will the 737 be like that?

[KevnutsWho]

hey when I try to start up cold and dark and press the battery switch, lights don't come up like yours did...

suggestions?

[altavaer]

are there any real checklist for overhead/back panel(IRS)?

[discojockey007]

Awesome! I learned so much! keep going these videous and no that overefected vegas shits :) Thanks!

[TheGreenCheekConure]

If your making a video showing people how to do something, explain it and give people time to follow along. Your video is complete shit.

[Eraser18574]

@TheGreenCheekConure This video isn´t about showing people how to start up the NGX...it´s just to give people a little insight into the product! This is part of a review. Think before posting such nonsense!

[Eraser18574]

@TheGreenCheekConure AND....if you are having SUCH problems starting this bird up...maybe you should have tried something lighter for starters? This is the upper class of addon planes. Also a little bit of reading helps.

[utd4life09]

Just a quick question, when you set your trim how did you set it with such ease? How did you know what your trim was set at as you changed it? thanks

[jerrytay]

Hi... can you help me? I am having abit of problems with the auto-pilot functions. After taking off and reaching above 1000ft... whenever I activate my auto-pilot.. only the HDG responded.. but my vertical speed deos not respond. For e.g.. i set to 4000FT with a VS of 1800FT... The aircraft does not respond but continue to climb above 4000FT... I have to depress the LVL change button then VS button again before the aircraft finally respond to my pre-set VS.

[FlightSimReviews]

@jerrytay

Sent you a PM.

[dandan1991]

Very informative. Thanks for taking the time out to make the video!

[AIRdomination]

I'm a bit new at this: how do you get the aircraft to start with everything off?

[FlightSimReviews]

@AIRdomination

No worries. Its under the FMC Options and look for start up state. Just set her to Cold and Dark.

[HKS134]

@FlightSimReviews Her? is planes girl or boy?

[FlightSimReviews]

@rappinCheese

Make sure the APU is on and that you are powering the plane with it.

[rappinCheese]

@FlightSimReviews yes apu was on .. when you load ur a/c what panel state was it in? was it in one of the presets in the fmc?

[FlightSimReviews]

@rappinCheese

Cold and Dark.

Make sure you read the manuals and things. They will get you all setup!

[rappinCheese]

@FlightSimReviews on 1:35 you turned on the batteries and stand by power ... when i do that nothing happens, no lights go on nor does the ac/dc panel show any volts ...

[rappinCheese]

please put the landing!!!

[LiamKroes]

NIce reviews you are making!

[FlightSimReviews]

@LiamKroes

Thanks!
