13JUL13 - Nifty little feature in the 777...

[Airbus Commander 563]

Add to the cost of building a new FSX computer, plus addons and hardware is the cost of keeping the rest of the family away from my stuff.  I got each of the teenagers their own laptop, an Imac for "family use" and a few ipads for good measure.  Well at least my "office" of off limits to all !!!

They already have their own laptops... However there's only the one FS PC as I'm not spending all that money again on 3 different computers along with 3 different licenses for all the add-ons I own, so Augmented crew it is...  :mellow:  :rolleyes:  I only wish it were that easy...  :blush:  :wacko:

 

Regards,

Ró.

You have no idea, you'll see my roster pinned up on the fridge door and scribbled in beside it who's getting the computer those days...  :mellow:

Yesterday I had this Déjà-vu; today I feel like in a Star Wars movie ... seems like flightsimming seriously damages my health!   :lol:

I was taking flying lessons out there until they got put it on hold due to financial reasons.

 

Hope you can finish soon. Did you solo?

No, I only have about 4 hours and couldn't afford anymore. I'm gonna give that up for a while and push to be either a Flight Attendant or an aircraft mechanic.

This is not the acronym, but:

 

I was about to call 'Game, Set 'n' Match: PMDG' ... then all of a sudden Robert went into a T7 tie-break!   :rolleyes:

For those wondering about GSX. If you know your software you bought inside and out, you know that you can select every door and positions availability, turn off or on that annoying reminder beep, customize how long it takes for each position to complete, and enable or disable door checks which allow the task to initiate and terminate. My guess is that you could simply turn off the ground services offered by PMDG just prior to pushback, and command GSX pushback for that ever so stunning and beautiful push that GSX gives us.

 

All we will possibly need to deal with ( :( <- sad face) are a) fuel trucks leaving our beloved aircraft WAY too early. b ) catering minions sitting up there blocking roadways around our aircraft. c) luggage loading completing early or not completing on time. I can live with all of that.

 

I'm simply speechless about this new feature (except for the words above and that follow). This is simply above and beyond. It's VERY thoughtful about the flow in the cockpit. Think about it. How many times have you been doing short little hops in your NGX, but you can never get OTP like the real carriers because you're fiddling with GSX?

 

Bring it on, we are ready to tackle her.

This feature on the 777 is quite nifty!

 

Are there any plans to fit this to the 737NG?
