Headset and PTT Question

[Paulyg123]

I also agree. I can't tell the difference between the old PMDG 737NG and the new 737NGXu. But if everyone says it is better, then I'll accept it. ...

[Paulyg123]

On our 737NGXu, is the headset port shown? I simply can't find it.

[Paulyg123]

On a 737, where is the port found to plug in your headset. I notice a MIC button on the left upper edge of the main panel (next to CLOCK button.) It...

I wonder if the 737 MAX has more advanced system pages that are displayed

[Paulyg123]

So a Boeing 737 does not have all the system pages like Hyrdrauic Pressure graphic page , fuel flow diagram page etc like the 747 has?

[Paulyg123]

Kevin, HOw do you get to the system page on the lower display. I know there is a SYS button on some 737, others say INOP. When I do see SYS, it seems...

[Paulyg123]

I know the 737 is hard to slow down. The times I forced a landing at 170-180 kts on a short runway and slammed on the brakes, I notice I can't taxi anymore....

[Paulyg123]

Great - that was easy to update. But I notice nothing new because I can't tell the difference between a 737 and a microwave oven. Both fly the same...

[Paulyg123]

OK thanks, I always wasn't sure when to shut down completely or not.
Hey Kevin, there isn't there a key on a FOB to start the engines on a 747...

[Paulyg123]

So when you approach the gate, how does a pilot know when to do a complete shut down (and take the keys with him!!) as this is the last flight of the...

[Paulyg123]

Thanks for these answers. Very interesting to get the different prespectives from real pilots in different planes and different carriers. Now I am glad...

[Paulyg123]

Can someone donate an old yoke or joystick to Angelo? I can't see sticking a 747-8 in fog with a 15kt crosswind using arrow keys and a mouse. Maybe...

[Paulyg123]

I know I have OC2, but how do I know it is the latest?

[Paulyg123]

Oh,I see I have to choose Honeywell to get them operable - not Collins. Was Mr. Collins lazy? I like the look of the Collins display better.

[Paulyg123]

Right next to the Autobrake Button, I have two buttons on a small MFD panel that says INOP. I remember there is some config that will make them operable....

[Paulyg123]

I already goofed on their mugs in post below.

[Paulyg123]

Kevin always gets my respect - He has helped me out many times. I never knew he was an off-road trucker. I thought he was a pilot....

[Paulyg123]

One question about upgrading content vs client. (I only upgrade client - yes, colors are a bit off - but I don't care).

If you upgrade...

[Paulyg123]

No access to your computer until December! Either you are in jail, or stranded on a deserted island. Anyway, do you personally know the staff at PMDG?...

[Paulyg123]

Who are the 2 "stiffs" in the cockpit? Are they modeled after a certain PMDG staff member? They must have had 12 cups of coffee because the...
