Starting on active runway with 737/747

Featured Replies

Hello Everybody.Having been a loyal PMDG 737NG/747/MD11 customer, I have always been puzzled with the following;When I select the 737 or the 747 variants for a START location on the Active Runway, I always seem to be positioned to the Left of Runway Centreline?Now, if I choose the MD11, she lines up smack bang right in the middle?Is there a little fix I can execute myself, or is it one of those " use the Slew key to get back on Centreline".I have have the latest service updates for all aircraft as well as the Latest Airac cycles.Always been puzzled by it.Many thanksTom L.

That is very strange, the START LOCATIONS are defined in the AFCAD file, and are the same for every aircraft for that precise runway.If you have the "Afcad" program it's very easy to check the position of the "start locations" and make any change if necessary.

Jose,Thanks for the AFCAD info, I did not think about thaI'll start at Flytampa Seattle KSEA and investigate further.Again, many thanks Jose.Tom L

HAHA, Success!!After inspecting the Afcads, which were intact and correct, no duplicates etc, I decided to start with the Cessna at KSEA.Again I was sitting to the Left of Centreline, so I 'Slewed' to the Centre and Saved the Flight. I also ticked that little box which says, "Make this the Default Flight". I did, and now whenever I choose my beutiful 737 and 747's they are Lined up straight down the Middle.Thanks Jose for getting me to use my "Old and Tired" brain!! (laughs). There's life left in me yet.RegardsTom.
