July 13, 201114 yr Thanks Ryan for answering everyones questions. Looking at the diagrams in the FCOM, and the relevant page in the QRH I see they are infact the same warning. I must say the 800/900 panel looks more modern and simpler in this area.
July 13, 201114 yr Commercial Member I like what someone said about the fly by software system, I think Ryan mentioned it somewhereYep that's Vangelis's term for it and it really does describe it well. We have a set of systems that sort of sit between you and FSX that make the airplane operate and feel like it should. Think of the Airbus FBW system but for fixing problems with how FSX works vs the inputs you're giving it.

Are you guys going to make the same thing for other PMDG products in the future? Joe Barton
July 16, 201114 yr I'm just curious as to if a similar scenario will occur if you start with a door open on a cold -40 northern canada morning. Will things start to freeze up? Dave Dominic

July 16, 201114 yr Interesting story...that I was able to experience in real life this past Monday. I boarded my flight out of DFW which was in excess of 100 degrees. My seat very close to the front door. During the time it took to load everyone I was making gravy like no other. Felt like i just climbed out of a pool. The air vent barely whispering a hint of cool air. It wasn't until the gear was raised that the airflow increased enough to feel it. And about 30 mins into the flight it was blowing snow, lol.glad to hear the realism modeled in this bird. Walter Trester
July 16, 201114 yr We see the duct OT in real life here in Florida as well when the weather gets extremely hot. You can even induce it in winter on the H-60 if you set the heat to high in manual mode it will kick it off with an ECS Fail light. Certaintly will be interesting having to deail with this in the simulator now as well. Steve Jordan Aviation Structural Mechanic SH-60B/HH-60H/MH-60R/MH-60S USN FSX Hours: 3000 and counting
July 17, 201114 yr Hello Kurt,If memory serves, then you are (or were) part of the team who gave us the beautiful King Air B200 for fs9?It is good to see that you are on PMDG's team.Thanks for the post. BTW, I hope that your passengers did not complain to the company about the airconditioning on board?? Good luck and happy landings,Wijnand Lindelauf (EHBK)(Edited for spelling).

July 17, 201114 yr Commercial Member Is the Cross Bus Tie Relay of the Electrical System modeled? Does this relay opens when the Glide slope is captured?I suspect is does...hi Henk,yes, correctly modelled,all the bestJR - Jane Whittaker
July 17, 201114 yr For those of you thinking about using or buying an iPad for use when flying I can recommend it very much. It's great to have a check list, charts & an fmc on the iPad. It frees everything up but make the complex PMDG planes much easier & much more enjoyable. With the complexity of the new 737 it's going to be a great asset. Mike Summers
July 17, 201114 yr Hi,Like Mike said an iPad or any other tablet PC makes flying more comfortable. I plan my routes and the needed fuel before my flight. Than I open the checklists and charts. On a long trip I browse in the internet on my iPad. Best regardsJonathan John Rubens
