I notice that when I have a completely empty main deck cargo plane that there are still containers inside the plane.  Should there be a empty plane?  Just wondering...

You'll always see containers on the visual model even if the cargo deck is empty.

ohh ithink it would be a nice addition, like my PMDG J41 have... maybe there is room for that after the more important things are done, an additional cargo loader for the main cargo door would also a nice to have, but very low priority for me.

This is NOT the Captain Sim 777 ...

 

The PMDG 777 is all about deep systems, fluid performance, acceptable frame rates and a very, very tight VAS limit.

 

The kind of eye-candy you're talking about would cost you system depth and frame rates.

hmm... that seams a possible reason not doing it,

 

but if you have a model which isnt giving that feature, you could also add another which have that feature as an optional, easy selectable using the op center, i have plenty of VAS for that bit of little textures (or could they also use textures which are allready in use ?). Do you think they remove the cargo loaders from the 747 when they develope it further to the new standard ?

 

(and yep you got me, this isnt the 747)

"Well if you give him the option of visual cargo boxes and all that, can I have windows that open???"

"...oh, me too!!! I want clickable circuit breakers!"

"YEAH!!! Can you at least put a bitmap of weather under the ND so that I can at least feel like the radar workds?"

 

Study sim.

...not eye candy machine.

Kyle right, 

however, the PMDG MD11 shows containers according to configurator.

True.  I thought it did as I was posting, but dismissed it because it (and the 744 if I recall) were simpler models.

Just pretend that they are returning their empties :rolleyes:

Right. 

 

(Hm, also the AUX tanks come without weight or impact on GW... naaah, I'm not asking for this...  8^)

Completely different issue.  That has an issue on performance.  The visual junk doesn't.

Do you know whether PMDG have it their books? (Again, excessive perfectionism can go awry...)

No idea.  Worth a message to them if you've found that it's out of sorts.

ahem, this is not the vc model,

 

the vc model is much more critical, you know that frames are much lower in that position, adding polygones or animations there is not realy recommended, vc seams optimal balanced allready.

 

Edit: from my view and for this product, sim and immersion are equal important, but if i have the choice between cargo loaders or shared cockpit, what do you think i would prefer :lol:

Well, switching between 0, 1, or 3 AUX tanks simply does not change the GW.

 

Where/How could I drop a message to PMDG? Don't they scan the threads here in the forum?
