I know you're gonna enjoy it anyway! Especially together with that spectacular Dubai by FlyTampa, what an unbeatable combination. I for certain will be going a lot in and out of OMDB in Emirates colors!

 

The FlyTampa is an amazing product indeed. It eats up the FPS a bit, but I still can do manual landings with the NGX, and if the 777 has better FPS, so that'd be awesome. BTW, just a side note, the Visual Docking Guidance System effect is different that the real one (I work there) the VDGS has got the gate number and coords.

It would be awesome to see a video of the wing view during an approach!  :blush:

What programs do people use to record that stuff anyway?  I tried using CamStudio, but it kills my comp when used together with another task-intensive program.

Most people use FRAPS as far as I know, but it will do a good job of halving your FPS when recording in the VC (necessary evil unfortunately).

FRAPS or if you want super smooth no stutters you can use FRecorder to render the shot you want after recording it with FSRecorder. That way you can turn ALL the sliders up and even render it @120fps, it turns FSX into a render engine with no OOM`s

Yup, FRAPS and FSRecorder are the two I see people use most of the time.

Well that's a nifty trick.  Thanks guys.

Interestingly, I get almost no hit while using FRAPS... absolutely magic compared to Camtasia. Makes sense of course: Camtasia appears to be doing the recording on the software layer whereas FRAPS goes a further back towards the hardware (hence why it only captures one application at a time and doesn't work with some programs).

This has been around since the original PMDG 747-400 and probably the old NG as well (haven't touched that one in a few years). It's probably safe to say that it will be included - of course, you have to manually plug in the values yourself; there is no company downlink!

I so wanted to ask the Beta testers. On some airlines I know, the A/P disengage is silent (Emirates, Air Canada, EgyptAir).

 

Are we going to have that option too? Just a bit of ultra-realism in airline configuration here, but won't get me nagging about it all the time if we don't have that.

If it isn't an option you could just rename the file (i.e. if the filename is APDISC.wav, renaming it to APDISC.BAK) would just stop the sound.

Sounds good.

Could it be also possible that they double click the disengage the button to disengage and silence the alert? I never asked before.

I'm not sure what you're actually asking here? I believe the T7 works in the same way as a lot of other commercial aircraft in the sense that the AP disconnect button on the yoke first disconnects the AP and then a second press disables the AP disconnect sound.

I think you may be mistaken. After a couple of fatal accidents where the autopilot was accidently disconnected Boeing have put alarms for whenever it disconnects. I believe you may have seen pilots double tapping (one tap disconnects AP second tap silences alarm) by double tapping you will never hear the alarm - so it would appear like a silent disconnect

That's what I assumed on my second post. I was just thinking that the 777 may be different when it comes to disengaging the A/P.

 

Clicking the disengage button twice disengages and silences the AP on the Boeing and the Airbus.

 

Thanjs for your answers.

Gents,

 

Jane gave you a tiny bit of incorrect information on the load shedding.

 

The APU will carry the entire airplane, but if you have certain large electricity consumers on, it will dump one or both utility busses in order to meet power demand. If it can only sustain one of the utility buses, it usually chooses the right one. (As in, not the left one.)

 

When on ground power, the APU will take only one side of the airplane unless you force it to do otherwise.

 

The images Jane is showing were taken before the Electrical Load Management System (ELMS) reconfigured the airplane. ELMS is fully simulated and it does spend some time watching consumption rates and adjusts load shedding accordingly. It is a fully dynamic process.

 

Other things we have accurately simulated in the electrical system: break power changes versus no break power changes. These are incredibly important to modeling the systems correctly, yet most simmers probably don't even know they exist...

 

The backup electrical generating capabilities of the airplane are fully modeled as well, including the backup generators and all of their associated self test behaviors, as well as the standby system powering down differently than it powers up, the full ELMS power up test process, the APU auto start sequence if AC power is needed and the RAT of course...

 

No detail has been left out!

 

We have an internal pool running on how many simmers are going to write in to suggest that the electrical system must be broken because the hey displays visible before shutting the batter off, but when they turned the battery back on there were no screens visible. Hmmmmmm

 

 

And we are also betting on how many folks will notice that the battery takes 90 seconds to turn off after you hit the switch...

 

Like we keep saying, it is the fine details that make PMDG products what they are!

Thanks sir for the response, really clears up what I was thinking. Do you or any one else know where I can read up on this sort of thing before the manuals come out ( poor college student). I really enjoy this sort of thing.
