Backighting/LNAV/ECIAS

Featured Replies

Hi, Don't take this as an insult to PMDG, The 757 is one of the best addons I have ever had, I only buy the best of the best so-I have noticed a couple of problems though,1) Regarding LNAV, over long distances such as trans Atlantic, LNAV dissengages and cannot be reingaged until the next waypoint. I have to use HDG SEL (very annoying over 1500 nm!!!)2) On the ECIAS screen I cannot get the yellow arrows to dissapear, have I forgotten something?3)Backlighting- Their are no alternate flap extention switches beneath the gear lever but when the backlights are on, the markings for them appear. Similar problem on one of the HYD pumps.4) Hydraulics- the centre pumps are a bit screwed up. I'm not sure of the exact order, but the (left) centre pump seems to opperate the (right)centre pump also.Thanks for reading- again not a dig at PMDG.Richard

Richard,I can't remember the exact deal with the Transatlantic LNAV but I believe it had something to do with the way FLY uses Navaids and waypoints. There was a post on this a while back with the 777 but I can' t seem to find it. I personally haven't tried out the PMDG in ETOPS (Engines Turn Or People Swim) operations :-)Regarding the "Carrots" on the bottom of the Upper EICAS Screen, they will not disapear unless you suffer a complete lower or upper display failure. These Cues indicate that there is more data to be displayed than can be shown on one screen. Only time they disapear is when operating in compressed mode after a screen failure.I don't remember the details on the Panel lighting but I know it came up late in the Beta around the time of the Night Model problem so I believe it is related (but don't quote me on that)Regarding the Hyd Pumps, The only thing I found not quite perfect was that the Right Electric Pump will put pressure on the Left System. This appears to be the way PMDG modeled the PTU system. Normally the PTU is inactive until after engine start due to massive amount of relay logic that is required to turn it on, however it does what the PTU is supposed to do and that is to supplement Left System pressure. It may not be perfect but its a heck of lot better than I could do :-)The Center Hydraulic pumps operation is correct in that only one pump is available when the engines are shutdown. Once both engines are up and running both pumps will operate. Part of the Electrical load Shedding function of the 757. Hope this helpsRegardsPaul :-cool
