Hi J.P.

I've been having a problem with the PMDG NGXu. I reinstalled it to make sure but the end result is the same: the NGXu does not have a default panel state. I've tried creating one myself, but when I load it, the engines will not start but an engine fail message is displayed. This means that I will have to go through the entire start procedure every time I want to train an approach. Is here something I'm missing or can you me help me with this?

By the way, thanks for your great product. I enjoy it a lot.

Best regards

Hi J.P.

I did some research and found that the NGXu indeed no longer comes with a Default panel state. Basically, as long as you have no panel state selected, it behaves as the original Default panel state. So I went in my options.ini for the NGXu and removed the selected panel state. Not perfect, but it behaves as desired now.

On another matter, I just flew the canuck5 STAR into CYVR twice, with different starting waypoints (LANNE and SEBOG) and in both occasions I saw the STAR being loaded, but as soon as the process was complete, only the waypoints for the ILS 08L remained in the FMS. I had to reselect the STAR in dep/arr page. Is this as designed?

Hi Jack,

This is a normal behavior, FSiPanel will only set an approach in the FMC, not the arrival route as pilots may decide to fly different routes or add holds, etc.

Hi J.P.,

Thanks for your reply. I understand it now.

Merci bien
