January 28, 201511 yr hi there i bought pmdg 777 and i really had a good experiance with it i have some problems with landing every time > terrain caution and pull up .. i did every thing right for landing no mistakes with no any terrain or mountains ,, that happen in any airport i hear that caution in 0900ft not stop until touch down flaps 25-30, gears down, and app speed set any help
January 28, 201511 yr First welcome to PMDG and the forums. Please note the forum rules and full names are required on all posts. Second, you really should fly the Tutorial and become familiar with the introduction document. Dan Downs KCRP
January 29, 201511 yr Hi fellow simmers! First time poster but long time lurker here. I had the same exact problem with my default scenery. I fully configured with flaps 30, gear down but terrain warn still warns me of impending doom in a plain field LOL I read the intro documents but nothing comes up about the terrain warn. Is this to do with the terrain mesh as other threads may have suggested? -Ryan Regards, Ryan Chew
January 29, 201511 yr Ryan, the most common reason for the alert may be high descent rate, landing configuration etc., but not sure how terrain mesh is a factor. Have you flown the tutorial? Landing at EHAM okay? Dan Downs KCRP
January 29, 201511 yr I might have a high decent rate when I did visual approaches, but it also warns of terrain during autolands as well. I know the 737 is not the 777, but I've landed both planes with the same high decent rate but the 737's GPWS didn't sound. Is the 777's GPWS more sensitive than the 737? Regards, Ryan Chew
January 30, 201511 yr Just did an autoland into WSSS. Terrain warn was still screaming at me. Regards, Ryan Chew
January 30, 201511 yr Commercial Member Just did an autoland into WSSS. Terrain warn was still screaming at me. Try flying it in a normal flight and not part of a "mission." Report back. Kyle Rodgers
January 30, 201511 yr I just did a free flight from WSSS to WMKK. All seemed in order. Maybe just a glitch with a mission is all. Oh well, at least we all know that we can't fly PMDG's planes on missions now haha Thanks for all the help Dan and Kyle! Regards, Ryan Chew
January 30, 201511 yr Still learning the T7 is all haha It's like trying to learn to drive a ferrari. A smart one at that. Regards, Ryan Chew
January 30, 201511 yr Commercial Member The "Landing Altitude" on your lower EICAS says it all. Yep. It was that and the Mission Indicator thing at the top left. Still learning the T7 is all haha Kinda... The missions are gamey. This is meant to be (more of) a simulation. The LANDING ALT alert is basically telling you that the plane isn't aware of where you will be landing it, which is part of the reason it's warning you that you're low to the ground. Kyle Rodgers

The LANDING ALT alert is basically telling you that the plane isn't aware of where you will be landing it, which is part of the reason it's warning you that you're low to the ground. Ah I see. I thought it would be more practical if more realistic planes were put in realistic scenarios like the mission. Regards, Ryan Chew
January 30, 201511 yr Commercial Member Ah I see. I thought it would be more practical if more realistic planes were put in realistic scenarios like the mission. Nope - the missions don't do all of the background programming of the FMC that's necessary for flights. Kyle Rodgers
January 30, 201511 yr Nope - the missions don't do all of the background programming of the FMC that's necessary for flights. Well yeah, that's true as well. Anyways, thanks for the tip and help Kyle! Regards, Ryan Chew
November 24, 20169 yr I'm having the exact same issue, except unlike the OP I'm not doing a "mission" or anything and it is dialed in correctly the airport and runway. Anyone have any ideas or anyone else have this problem? here is a video segment of it: https://vimeo.com/192984062 --- Bo Chen
