-N307(An older 900 airframe), has eyebrows, honeywell MCP, No NPS,, analog stand-bys and NO fuel totalizer( as far as I know)

 

The PMDG file has 307 with a collins, NO eyebrows, and the totalizer. Also, it has Callouts, which Alasjka Airlines NG are not equiped with.

 

Perhaps it can be corrected??

You can create you own which you can then load over the top without fear of changing the original...tbh loads of the customer based options are quite incorrect whether PMDG or d/l fm AVSIM on various paints.

 

The PMDG 737NGX Intro document within the pdf manual set that comes free with the products explains how it all works.

Just to piggyback on this. If i paint a livery of a real bird, I will make the visibility/non-visibility of the eyebrow windows match the real reference picture. Most of use that paint liveries do not go through all the research required to match up system configurations with the actual carrier.

 

I usually load my liveries with what I like to fly with. As stated by Steve Bell, everyone has the option to configure all that to match their requirements after they download the livery.

307 had the eyebrows removed sometime in the last two years, apparently - the last info I have from 2010 is that they were still there. But, the airline is removing them as the jets go in to heavy checks.

 

Should be Honeywell.

 

Should be analogue standby.

 

It could have a 500' callout. Some do.

 

It should have NPS, however.

thanks Steve. I know how to change it, i was only hoping that PMDG will change it so that folks have a more accurate config.

oo.. I would love some more alaska liveries Steve. Especially if its your work! I agree with you on having it your way as far as the config file, but im the kind of guy who prefers it to be proper, if possible.

Yeah I though it might have gone thru a heavy check by now. I know alaska is pretty tight on costs and budget, so i wouldnt think they would put in a Collins or add a ISFD.

Interesting bit here on the collins MCP from 737.org-----

 

"From line number 1278 onwards (Feb 2003) the Rockwell Collins enhanced MCP was introduced. This was designed to operate with the new Collins enhanced digital flight control system with integrates the autothrottle computer and Flight Control Computer (FCC) to enable Cat IIIb autoland. Note the Cat IIIb EDFCS has a rudder servo and can perform an engine out autoland."

I was sent those livery inis by two Alaska pilots who said they verified everything with the actual equipment list - if that's not true then there's not much I can do until someone verified sends me the correct stuff.

The .ini file for 307 is indeed wrong...not sure how that happened, but ill talk to Ryan.

There appears to have been a slight mix up with the .ini files, I have a PM in to Ryan, and hopefully we'll get it fixed soon. In the mean time anybody who would like the .ini file for N307AS that has the proper configuration PM me and I would be happy to share.

Perhaps it can be corrected??

Which callouts was it doing, BTW?

so just change it to what you want...

Matt- I think all of the available call-outs were chosen. It really looks alot like the PMDG inis. that came with their liveries.

Yeah, it's sounding like somehow 307AS's custom .ini was switched back to the default somehow.

I get this all of the time. Somehow, the default PMDG .ini ends up taking over the custom one. Before almost every flight, I have to go back through line by line and change everything.

Sorry to be digging up an old topic, but I am about to embark on a series of Alaska Airlines themed flights, and wanted to get some clarification on this issue, where it appears the accuracy of the ini options for Alaska Airlines NGX paints is in question. Does the inaccuracy only apply to the -900, as stated by the OP? I am going to be flying the -800, is it impacted as well with the wrong options? I ask because I see just about all the GPWS callouts are "on", and this and a different forum topic Spin737 says all callouts should be off, except minimums and 500ft. Also, I see some different equipment options in photos on Airliners.net, namely, no fuel totalizer. I know, those pictures are dated and Alaska may have upgraded to the totalizer, but I have no idea which is right. So, I suspect that the .ini on the PMDG site is wrong, and may never get corrected.

 

Is there anyway Spin737 or anyone else who is a verifiable expert on Alaska NGs can correct this .ini once and for all, or share that info/the ini here in this topic?

 

Thanks!

One of the forum users here did a outstanding job on a series of AS liveries that have been uploaded to the file library. These include .ini files for the -700, 800 and 900 in AS configs that I believe Spin played a role in. The files also includes custom AS flight deck placards which are very accurate.
