PMDG NGX/NGXu/777/747/737/736 Events & Variables

PMDG produces a Software Development Kit (SDK) for their latest aircraft that allows 3rd party developers access to numerous Events and Variables specific to their NGX/NGXu/777/747/737/736 products.

The Virtual Flight Sim Hardware suite of software has been linked to these SDK's so that all the NGX/NGXu//777/747 Events and Variables are available.

PMDG NGX/NGXu/777/74/737/7367 Events

All PMDG NGX Event names begin with EVT_ and follow this naming convention:

EVT_<SYSTEM><NAME><OPTIONAL TYPE>

Or

EVT_<PANEL><NAME><OPTIONAL TYPE>

Note that EVT_CLUSTER_<SYSTEM>_<NAME> allows the assignment of a group of aircraft controls to one switch or rotary, i.e. a group of controls have been clustered together to respond as one.
