February 8, 20179 yr hope this picture of an qrh circa 2000 will explain the lbs ... they used to as i said .... [MOD: Don't think Polar or Boeing would be happy about their docs out in the wild...but it did say "lbs"] sorry MOD but thank you to confirm my say.
February 8, 20179 yr Commercial Member Guys, This was a silly mistake - the pilot who sent me the configs somehow had his files set to read-only and a bunch of the options he set didn't save properly before he sent them to me. He remade them all tonight and the livery's been updated with those in the OC. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com

February 8, 20179 yr Commercial Member Just reinstall the livery Chris Makris PLEASE NOTE PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at http://forum.pmdg.com
February 8, 20179 yr Author Just reinstall the livery Did that too but not an updated config ini - David Lee
February 8, 20179 yr What about the Lufhtansa livery ? i saw a video and in their 747, there's the GW on the eicas, and in the livery there's not. The video was recorded about one year ago. What's the correct option ? Jason Cardeira
February 8, 20179 yr Commercial Member The proper way to update a livery is to go to the Livery Downloader and not uninstall/reinstall (via the Manager and Downloader). On the livery Downloader, any updated livery will have an UPDATE button instead of the INSTALLED prompt. ...but I don't think those updates are ready, yet. (UPDATE button present? Ready. No UPDATE button present? Not ready yet.) Kyle Rodgers

No UPDATE button present? Not ready yet.) I did that, it did not say update, so I tried to remove/add again. I'll hold out for the update button thanks. Think I got a pretty accurate config myself in the meantime. - David Lee
February 8, 20179 yr The ini files for Atlas and both Polar aircraft have changed but they still aren't showing as updated download manager. All are still version 1 but have AccurateOptions changed to 2

All are still version 1 but have AccurateOptions changed to 2 Aaaand, that's because I'm an idiot. Hold on, I incremented the wrong number lol... this is what you get for doing a week of support 24/7 following a release. EDIT - now fixed - you should see an update in the Downloader module.

EDIT - now fixed - you should see an update in the Downloader module. ran the update for the livery also Polar had an update too. I still think some things are wrong, for example did Atlas really install an RMI and taxi light for N475MC? The cockpit picture I have is after Atlas purchased the 747 from GSS. Also the Atlas guy here says they have callouts at 100 feet but 475MC does not, neither does Polar's official ini file. The picture of 475MC also has a different radio stack. Please don't think I'm being a pain funny enough a few years ago you banned me for a week or something due to this same discussion a year or 2 ago about the official options files of some 777 airplanes - David Lee
