Gents - I took the opportunity to take some shots during my last test flight. A short hop between ESSA, Stockholm and ESMS, Malm

Amazing shots Mats.Can't wait!Jason Diaz

Fantastic Marc! Now to bring it out eh? :-lolPS Next time don't forget to put the gear in OFF position :(

Did you know that KLM doesn't put there gear in OFF position?And Mats, great shots. The PFD looks way better now.

[Guest Robin.B]

One thing, the edges of the PFD need to be a lot more rounded http://www.airliners.net/open.file/656898/L/

Something I just noticed. Your flying PW engines but there is no EPR gauge in your cockpit. Isn't that modeled yet?

[Guest FredGer]

Nice shots. Just one little thing: The N1 reference indicator should be magenta because VNAV is engaged and therefore the target N1 is commanded by the FMC!CheersFred

There goes the performance :-(30 fps on a pretty highend machine as yours..NOT a good signAdrian

Nice shots, however in the 3rd shot is the flightplan route (magenta line) ment to go off the compass rose?>Something I just noticed. Your flying PW engines but there is>no EPR gauge in your cockpit. Isn't that modeled yet?Looks like GE engines to me, as Boeing's demo a/c has GE engines. EPR Guage, When I spoke to Leferis at the IFC Show in Blackpool last week, they have not done a RR/PW cockpit, however he did say that they would a small possibility of one IF there was demand for one, the inital release is based around the GE Engine, but oviously with all 3 engine models.I'm one who hopes PMDG will do an EPR EICAS, but I wouldn't be surprised if one wasn't done since it seems all developers are staying away from it.Cheers

Crap no RR/PW cockpit???? :((. Is it still possible to fly it realisticly with no RR/PW cockpit??. I sure hope so i guess it is:P lol ah well kooly shots anyway and yeah you forgot Gear in OFF :(.Best regards:Alexander

[Guest garymccl]

What does "Gear in OFF" mean? What does that position actually do? I have always wondered what the difference between gear up and gear off is, and since it's been brought up twice in this thread I thought I'd ask! ;)Thanks in advance!EDIT: I forgot to say that the screen shots are fab - can't wait to get this a/c on on my machine. I like the airport senery as well.

[Guest yawdamper]

On the 737 the OFF position removes hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic jacks that raise the gear. If you keep it in UP, you apply a steady pressure to the entire system - should it rupture (a very very slim chance) you will lose a lot of hyd. fluid. Therefore you can place the gear lever to OFF and you remove pressure the system.Just don't do it too early - if you place it to OFF during retraction and gear isn't locked, the gear will come flying back down :-)In some non-normal cases it is required to remove hyd pressure from the landing gear - for example during alternate extension.Adrian

[Guest garymccl]

ah, that makes sense! i have always wondered what it means!Thanks for replying.Gary

Adrian,For what it's worth. My frame rates are better with the Queen than with the NG and the same config. And I have everything pretty much maxed out in the FS settings so there are room for some twekaing.Cheers,
