April 24, 20179 yr I never though that was shadows, rather I assumed it was discoloration of the laminate. It's normal. Dan Downs KCRP

April 25, 20179 yr 5 hours ago, Captain Kevin said: Or what Dan said above your post. Well, I don't see as discoloration as Dan said from that particular area since the shadow is evenly on both windshield Column sides. Similar kind of shadows or reflections from the glass on either windows AC sides. While flying you can see those reflections shadows especially at night with cabin lights On. That's realistic to me. I should say reflections from glass instead of shadows. Patricio Valdes
April 25, 20179 yr It's either one or the other. I don't know which it is. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
April 28, 20179 yr New Question: Check my Post http://www.flytampa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10209 I want to see if someone can give an idea to remedy on that. Can't do autoland on Sydney rwy16R I think because the EHSI pink line is not aligned with the runway. Patricio Valdes
April 28, 20179 yr YSSY ILS16R is not a CATIII ILS..., you shouldn't be doing autolands in that approach regardless of scenery issues. Dan Downs KCRP

I thought autoland works with ILS. If FMC setup won't show ILS rwy's then manual landing goes. I can do autoland on other sceneries if ILS is available from FMC. If such rwy16R has ILS then for what? Anyway.... I wonder why the PMDG 747 V2 EHSI gauge shows the runway 16R misaligned? The PMDG 737 NGX shows aligned on it. The Level-D shows the same aligned runway. So, it has to be something that needs attention for the PMDG 747 to correct that misalign. PMDG 777 shows OK as well.

Screenshots http://www.flytampa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10209 That misalignment has nothing to do with the ILS. Are you using the legacy PMDG 747-400v2? That screen shot does not look like a PMDG 747-400v3 QOTSII, and in those days the common cause for such a problem was a registry error fixed by the Flight1 registry repair tool (for FS9 or FSX only not P3D). Also, the discussion of autoland has nothing to do with such a misalignment. It appears that you are unaware of the real world application of autolanding so we will skip this for now because it belongs in a thread of its own. As a matter of fact, your original issue should have been a separate post. So, which PMDG 747 product are you using? Dan Downs KCRP

Actually, aircraft do lots of autolands into YSSY. It's done to prove the serviceability of the (individual) aircraft's Autoland system. Autolands have to be carried out at least once every 45 days (otherwise the system has to be downgraded). Of course, you can't do an autoland if the visibility is not CAT I.

Did you try the Flight1 Registry Repair tool? To be fair, I did suggest what the probable solution was but there was still a question about you still using PMDG B747-400v2. That is no longer a question so obviously you should try the recommendation, right? Dan Downs KCRP
