July 26, 201411 yr Guys, hats off to PMDG for sure on this one! Suffered a R engine fire at 3500ft on takeoff, as I was scrambling to find the QRH on my tablet, I remembered the non-normal ECL... As soon as I clicked CHKL, I was on the right page, with everything that got automatically checked as I performed the actions, and before I knew it, I was leveled at 6000ft with the fire out. My single Saitek quadrant brought only the R lever to idle, and it handled extremely well when I hand flew the approach back to the airport. I just want to say how much I am in awe with this aircraft. PMDG sure got a new customer - I'll buy the NGX as soon as the new features are ported over, and even if I wouldn't have considered the 747, I will definitely buy it now. Another 77W is being prepped, still have 350 people to cross the pond with, back to the skies!
July 26, 201411 yr interesting never pondered into the non-normal ECL, may look into when my next failure occurs MSI Codex 5 10SC-262UK Desktop PC - Intel Core i7-10700, RTX 2060 Graphics, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, 256GB SSD.
