PMDG 737NGX Simulation expected to release in 7 10 days The PMDG 737NGX, our in depth simulation of Boeings ubiquitous 737 Next Generation series aircraft is in.PMDG has released Service Pack 1d for existing owners of the PMDG 737800900 NGX Base Package that adds the ability to install into FSX Steam Edition as well as bug.Download the free trial version below to get started.Doubleclick the downloaded file to install the software.The best just got better Many new features for the Airbus Series Vol.FSXFS2004 addon download now on sale from Just FlightJust Flight Airbus Series Volume 1 Evolution Upgrade.Airbus Series Evolution is for anyone eager to discover the fascinating world of fly by wire technology as well as Airbus high end systems.Whatever your knowledge level beginner or expert the users manual will teach you step by step all systems and procedures.The three operating modes Beginner, Intermediate and Expert allow you to take control of your aircraft in three different ways engines running, ready for take off, or cold and dark on the apron.As well as all the orginal Airbus Series Volume 1 features, Airbus Series Evolution implements the following systems WEATHER RADARAirbus Series Evolution features a highly advanced Weather Radar developed by Reality.XP. It is fully integrated into the Navigation Display ND and follows the ND rangemode and brightness settings.The route and the moving map are still visible as they are displayed on top of the weather radar display.The Weather Radar can be activated from the 2.D cockpit only. HEAD UP DISPLAY HUDBased on specifications from the manufacturer, a Head Up Display has been integrated into the cockpit.All the necessary flight information is displayed on the HUD so that no other instrument is needed.You can look through the window while flying the aircraft on the right trajectory.The HUD is useful for manually flying low visibility approaches.It even allows you to lower the minimal visibility distance.The HUD is designed to be used in full screen mode and can also be displayed in the 2.D cockpit. NAVIGATIONSIDSTAR Management.One of the most important improvements in the Airbus Series Evolution package is in the management of the SIDSTAR procedures.The information management contained in the database has been improved so that all the waypoints that describe a SID or STAR procedure are now taken into account, whatever their type.This is especially visible for waypoints that describe a turn to a waypoint or a radial interception, because a curved route is then drawn on the navigation display ND.In order to take advantage of these improvements, getting a recent version AIRAC of the navigation database is strongly recommended.You can get a more recent database at Navigraph.DIR Operation. The DIR operation used to proceed direct to a route waypoint is improved.A temporary flight plan is created like for any flight plan modification and requires validation.In addition, the trajectory is drawn as the aircraft flies, with a curved route when appropriate.Holding Patterns.The aircraft flies the holding pattern trajectory almost perfectly.Flight tests have also been conducted with crosswind.Target Altitude. The target climb or descent altitude is shown on the route with a blue arrow and its position is updated in real time.These arrows are sometimes called hockey sticks.TOC Real Time Update.The position of the top of climb TOC point is computed in real time.This is very important if the ATC asks for a level during the climb.If this occurs, the TOC point is moved accordingly instead of being wrongly positioned.Second ADFA second fully functional ADF receiver has been added.On the navigation display, two different green needles can show the 2 ADF signals.SIDSTAR filtering.When a departure or arrival runway is selected, only the SIDSTAR procedures that apply to the selected runway are displayed.Hiding the useless procedures reduces the list of the displayed SIDsSTARs, making the selection easier.Flight Plan Edition.When a new waypoint is inserted on the F PLN page immediate waypoint insertion at the place of a discontinuity, the discontinuity is shifted down and no discontinuity is added.Flight Plan Display.As the aircraft flies toward the next waypoint, the displayed distance to the next waypoint is updated in real time.Approach Speed. The managed speed on approach depends on the flap handle position instead of depending on the flaps position, as in the real aircraft.This makes the approach smoother, with less variation of engine power.Updated Flight Management System Database.Thanks to a partnership with Navigraph, the latest navigation database December 2.Airbus Series Evolution.This database is up to date and contains much more information than the database originally provided with the Airbus Series.This is especially true for Europe, with most airports having all the SIDSTAR procedures available.The navigation database is updated every month, you can keep updating it by visiting the Navigraph website.SYSTEMSElectricity.All the electric devices, such as lights landing, taxi, beacon, strobes and the 6 EFIS screens PFD, ND, EWD and SD are properly managed and can be switched ON only if the appropriate electric source APU, GPU or engine generator is available.Alert clear and recall.The alerts displayed on the EWD can be cleared and recalled if necessary.This is important when a master caution alert is shown because it blocks the display of the take offlanding memo.Fly by Wire auto coordinationThe fly by wire system provides auto coordination.The rudder pedals are active even if auto coordination is active.This allows you to kick the aircraft, As in the real aircraft, this is very important when a crosswind is present.Computed speeds. The FACs Flight Augmentation Computers are in charge of computing the Green Dot, F and S speeds.Consequently, these speeds are not displayed on the PFD speed tape if both FACs are off.Fuel tank management.The centre tank fuel feeding is active only when the slatsflaps are not extended.During take off and landing, each engine must be fed by its own tank.In case of a fuel problem, both engines would therefore not stop at the same time.Metric Altitude. The metric altitude is implemented the FCU selected altitude is displayed on the bottom part of the SD.Brake alert. A new alert has been implemented to display a warning if the speed brakes are deployed while the engines are providing thrust.FADECImproved multi throttle devices to control each thrust lever independently.Engine and door selection.Improved engine selection from FS standard keys E 1, 2, 3 and 4.This allows separate engine control with a single throttle lever.Also valid for doors selection Shift E 1 and 2 openclose the aircraft doors.Radio. The radio master switch located on the Radio Management Panel is efficient and the radio stops when the switch is off.In addition, this switch is turned off when the Cold Dark option is selected.Hydraulics yellow electric pump.The yellow electric pump has its own sound, familiar to all A3.Landing lights. In Airbus Series Vol.This is because the landing lights on these aircrafts are deployed below the wings when they are turned on.MCDU AIRAC cycle and version. Adobe Reader Signature Field Detected Memory . The AIRAC cycle is displayed on the MCDU AC STATUS Page.In addition, the current version of the Wilco Airbus systems has been added on this same page, at the VERSION line.SD DOOR page. The door status page shows the right door selections.Network flying. The TCAS mode is fully compliant with the IVAOSquawk.Box TCAS specifications very useful for network flights.The AUTO mode is implemented so that the TCAS is automatically set to C mode when the aircraft leaves the ground, and set back to standby mode when the wheels touch the ground upon landing.The EFIS screens PFD, ND, EWD and SD are now rendered in 3.Rendering is improved without any impact on the refresh rate.MISCELLANEOUSPush back steering FSXFSX users will be glad to see that the aircraft can be steered during pushback with PPU in FSX.This feature used to work only in FS2.Cold Dark FSXThe Cold Dark feature can be activated through a keystroke.The key can be defined in the key configurator.Multiple monitor display.Improved multi monitor management for pedestal and overhead consoles.Expert mode. Improved Expert mode with no more MCDU assistance.
