issues with PMDG 747

[Guest piper972]

2 questions about this excellent software :1) i can't have value of trim in FMC (TAKE OFF REF page)2) I can't push any LSK in RTE DATA page to enter aloft winds => insufficient fuel message for any east flightIs somebody may help me please ?PS : sorry for my poor english ; it's not my mother language

Hi.I maybe help you with the trim.On the TAKE OFF page of the FMC press LSK4R CG% (centre of gravity) and the trim value of the aircraft will displayed.Hope that helps.Tony

And maybee I can help with the other question.2) Be sure NOT to use the fuel planning from MS FS. Don't know about the LSK in RTE Data..

Your english is fine my friend :)To enter wind data:At RTE DATA page, enter wind direction/speed (eg. 267/045) into the scratchpad and upload to the correct leg directly using LSK R1 - R5Perhaps you are expecting it to work like the 767, where you 'open' the leg first? Not so with the 744.Hope this helps.regards,Markhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpgXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1024mb/X700pro256
