747 v-speed callouts

[Guest flymike]

Is it possible to have the PMDG 747 "first officer" call out the various v-speeds (i.e. V1, Vr, v2)Thanks.Mike

It does on mine.Don't know why you don't get that on yours? I'm assuming you do have the v-speeds set via the FMC.

Yes, I do have the v-speeds set on the FMC. I file the flight plan and all. Perhaps I'm missing a critical part of the FMC setup somewhere?Thanks.

Mike,On the takeoff page in the FMC, make sure you click each one of the V-speeds to transfer them to the PFD's speed tape.

Can you see the v-speeds listed on the speedtape on the PFD? or does it say "NO VSPD".If they are listed there I'd suggest checking your volume levels to see if they match the ones given in the PMDG manual.edit: for some reason the AVSIM forums has deleted my sigNeil Bennett

It says "NO VSPD"... but v-speeds are present in the FMC.

>It says "NO VSPD"... but v-speeds are present in the FMC.IN that case, you must not have manually confirmed the speeds in the FMC. Where you see the speeds in the FMC, you have to click the button to the right of each one. When you do this, the numbers on the screen will appear in BOLD PRINT. Then you should also see them on the PFD.Andrew

...and then hear them :)

Clicking on the v-speeds in the FMC worked. Thanks to all that helped.
