PMDG 777 P3D v4 Saving Problem No Gear

Featured Replies

Hi all

I have a new installation of P3d v4, so nothing from v3 carried forward. Downloaded the ever brilliant PMDG products.

However when a save a new scenario and return to load it the aircraft suddenly is flat on its belly with no gear? but does not crash; but not going anywhere unless on a ski slope!

Really annoying as did not have this with v3, tried with 777 and 737 (not gear issue just went out of control

Question is after downloading again, with a removal of the previous version and fresh install is this a problem noted elsewhere

Thanks

Are you attempting to set that scenario as your default one? If so, don't. It doesn't work. Also, does this happen even if you don't save the scenario, as in loading it up straight from the startup screen?

Do you get the 20 second initialisation period?

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it does go through the 20 sec initial period. You can see from external view no gear and it sinks into Rwy.

It's a good system I have and this is the only problem I have, surprised with PMDG; I go way back to original 747...

I use FSUIPC  and removed that, as it was suggested but no difference and reinstalled 777 completely to latest version

 

Thanks, Gus

Hi Milton

Yeah, I know about that default problem, note that I can start from scratch with new 777 liveries, new airport; All Fine. But the moment I save on the Runway, bang no gear

Thanks, Gus

Now I'm thinking on closer inspection, the gear is down, but into the Rwy so it's a Scenery issue? but only on a Save, now I don't know yet if FSDreamteam, UK2000 or Aerosoft Airports. More testing>

or I just don't Save....but not practical
