Hi guys

 

Long time unsent from these columns due to sickness but I am back.

 

Now I have installed the Service Pack 1C for my PMDG 777 and I have noticed that the operation of the FMC has changed a bit.

Is there a write up somewhere or a video of how the FMC should work now after the Service Pack 1C?

 

Also I have noticed that before the service pack, when the autopilot was disengaged you could silence the buzzer sound by pressing  CTRL SHIFT Z  Now since the service Pack this doesn't work.

 

Thanks

Many months of testing and I did not know that... always right clicked the screw twice about 1.5 s or more apart.

 

Note the Introduction  document was updated for changes in SP1.. you'll find a lot of information there so it is a good place to start.

 

Stay healthy!

It was the service pack in general that changed that. SP1b and SP1c don't have any radical changes to the FMC. The changes are noted in the intro manual, where one would expect a digest of information like that.

My guess is that you just need to go back into your key commands and set the command for AP DISCONNECT again.

I have checked on the PMDG site and I could not find the intro manual. for the SP1C. Can someone post the link please?

It's not on their website. Check your Windows start menu.

In the start menu I have 2 documents 1. PMDG 777 Introduction and 2. PMDG 777 Tutorial 1

Nothing on the SP1C

My bad, you are correct: Their release notes are still Sep 3rd 2013.

so now?  No notes on the SP1C? 

You might try checking the PMDG Operations Center. Even after I installed SP1c, there were still updates there for the -200 and -300.

so now? No notes on the SP1C?

 

Strange on my start menu I have  the sp1  c on the introduction manual

 

Yep, the intro doc has been updated by SP1c, but still no SP1c changelog is mentioned (except for Robert's topic in this forum).

True but in my introduction manual the changes are hightlighted in green saying  the changes  that were made( in green it  says new to sp1  after  any paragraph   that have changes  to it)

So why then PMDG does not have a link in their site for people to read it? Anyone from PMDG here?

Because the documentation (introduction manual)  can be found in 3  places on your pc,   operation centre,  your start menu  and  your fsx/pmdg777  on where you got your t7  installed on your drive under documentation

Guys I found it in the in the fsx/pmdg777 documentation. Thanks a lot for your input and sorry for all your troubles.
