August 7, 20178 yr Hi! Today I flew the tutorial #1. When I approach waypoint LELEM I received a warning "cabin altitude". Then my 777 turn left and start a dive. Everything appears quickly. When I Take control the A/P disengage as it should do. I add 3 pic from the incident. I have followed the instructions carefully in tutorial #1 Informal Ken Wennerholm UTC +2 ESSA
August 7, 20178 yr The cabin altitude indication suggests that you have a panel state problem. Make sure you are not setting the PMDG product as the default aircraft in your simulator. Start the simulation session exactly as instructed in the Tutorial. Dan Downs KCRP

Yes, I follow the tutorial by the book. No I have a std. FSX flight as default. I just perform a flight ESSA-UUEE with only one Deviation from programmed route. I reset F.D and reconnect A/P and then rest of the flight went without remarks. What does "Panel state" mean? Informal Ken Wennerholm UTC +2 ESSA
August 7, 20178 yr Panel states are described in the Introduction, it is the state of your panel including all switch settings and instrument values. The problem you exhibit could occur if you had a tail strike during takeoff. In case you missed it, that will be annunciated on the center DU. If so, try to limit your nose up during rotation to about 8 or 10 deg until you have some air below you. Dan Downs KCRP
August 8, 20178 yr The cabin altitude is 90,800 ft and descending. That isn't the result of a decompression. No way should cabin altitude be any higher than aircraft altitude. Then there's the roll inverted. I wonder if it's a weather related issue.

Yesterday I fly ESSA-UUEE. When I reach T.D. my 747 turn left and begin a step descend. I've never been able to fly so far before. The weather was calm and a excellent evening for a flight. I use EZDOK cam and that add on give some "###### happens" to sim-people out there. I have disconnect my EZDOK But the problem is still alive. Informal Ken Wennerholm UTC +2 ESSA

August 9, 20178 yr Author I received the IRS message again and my 747 stopped following the route after that. How to reset or reconnect IRS DC during a flight? I guess my aircraft lost contact with GPS. Informal Ken Wennerholm UTC +2 ESSA
August 9, 20178 yr The IRS messages appear because DC power was removed. If you follow the tutorial there should not be a DC power issue because you start from the create scenario screen with a default configured aircraft, engines running and everything ready for setting up the flight. First you should see the 20 sec countdown then you start following the steps on page 11. Then you set up fuel and payload, preflight the FMS with the planned flight, set up the MCP with takeoff data and a few other tasks you're ready for takeoff on page 63. That is 52 pages of reading and steps to take to get ready for takeoff but no where is there a need to configure electrical systems or ADIRS. That error message is as odd as the previous errors you had with cabin altitude. I don't have a clue what you could do to create those errors on purpose. All I know is that if you follow the steps you will not have a problem. Just keep restarting the Tutorial until you make progress. I assume you did not enter a fixed configuration entry into the Aircraft Setup page on the FMS since you do not yet know about panel states. Dan Downs KCRP

I did not know what you meant by "panel state" but now I know. When I follow the tutorial I get no warning. When I start up my 747 I follow FCOM Normal Procedures. Maybe is something that does not match my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog. I going to follow the tutorial today, as you suggest. Informal Ken Wennerholm UTC +2 ESSA
