Merry Christmas to all at PMDG and all you flightsimmers out there!Lefteris,Your customer service is second to none. I'm very happy you've been able to pinpoint this issue as this was the only minor problem I've encountered with the 747X. I realize that not many were having this problem and I just wanted to drop you a note to say we appreciate your dedication to your products.Norm Guindon.

Hi,Hi,I have a big issue with the 747-400X.This aircraft behaves marvelously in all phase of the flight but when I land, with Autobrake set to 1, the brakes doesn

We're testing a Service Release right now... shouldn't be too much longer.

Ryan, the autobrakes also don't work for me in a rejected takeoff situation. Is this part of the same problem, and if so, will it be covered by the Service Release?Thanks, Robert

Hi all. I'm also having this problem with the pmdg 747x. I am using the saitek x52 pro and have had the problem from the start. I set autobrakes and upon touch down nothing happens - no braking action. There is no EICAS message telling me they have disarmed and they remain in the setting i set upon approach. It is only when i apply manual braking that i get the EICAS message that they have disarmed. It's as though the aircraft doesn't realise it's on the ground yet. Any help or suggestions much appreciated!RegardsRMA

Same here, like a problem of saitek with autobreak like md11. PMDG developer have cleared that problem with service pack with md11. Hope of a patch for 744. It would be nice.

For the moment you have to use two different ini settings in FSUIPC if you own both the MD-11 and 744XFor 744X make sure you have the following lines at the end of FSUIPC4.iniLeftBrake=-7303,16380RightBrake=-7303,16380For the MD-11 leave the axis as "Not processed" this means:LeftBrake=0RightBrake=0This is the only way to have a satisfactory result for the moment.I hope that PMDG will finally issue a fix in the next SP for 744X (promised a long time ago BTW)I hope it helps you DieterRegardsYves Lefevre

Thanks Yves, Will try the fix.Any idea if it influences other add-ons too then ?

[Spidierox 4]

I have tried the fix but still the problem.I do not use FSUIPC for reading my rudders/stick...too bad...PMDG, any thoughts on when - or if- fix is coming ?Dieter
