October 18, 20178 yr Commercial Member Hi Rob, At some point in time you said that PMDG was looking into the issue that not allows any PMDG planes to be loaded on top of each other or directly without first having a default plane set to the initial P3D scenario setup page. As you now gave us a brief view of what is going on at PMDG I just wondered if solving this issue is "going on at PMDG" or has been thrown in the Bin. This is an annoying issue that I hope PMDG will solve.

October 18, 20178 yr Loading the default plane then loading the addon is also the procedure for Flight 1 planes. I just assumed this was a FS requirement, not something that could be changed by the developers. John Hubbard MSFS2020 - Win10
October 18, 20178 yr Actually, not all Flight 1 aeroplanes, it says in the QW 787 manual that you don't have to do that with their shiny new airliner, which I will admit came as a surprise to me. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

October 18, 20178 yr Bonjour, It is very annoying as a product like FSIPanel doesn't work anymore since the last release of PMDG planes. That doesn't means it is a PMDG problem, but only LM can investigate to find a solution with PMDG or Flight1. Cheers Claude Troncy
October 18, 20178 yr This has already been addressed in the intro manual. It says to not load it on too of the default airplanes. At least for p3d. FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠 Matt Kubanda, 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 5090@4k, MSFS 2024

October 19, 20178 yr Preloading a basic aircraft before a big hitter doesn't seem to be required with P3Dv4, in my experience. FSL and PMDG, at least, don't require this anymore. As far as flying, say, the 737ngx and then loading the 747 after without a P3D restart, yeah. This doesn't work. Is it some deficiency on PMDG's part? I doubt it. More likely, an inherent part of P3D's structure. If it was only some bit of coding magic, I would bet the perfectionists at PMDG would have done something about this long ago.

It's an understood limitation, so I don't think there's much chatter as people know they'll get blowback if they say anything I would absolutely LOVE to be able to save a flight and practice the same landing a few times without having to restart the sim. I love the plane, but that is a MAJOR limitation. The plane (specifically manual landings) require a lot a practice to get them right.

I couldn't reload a Cessna 152/172 on final in my flight training either. Do another lap. Try again. The extra hand time to fly the downwind will assist you for the landing. You might not think so, but it will. Kyle Rodgers

The extra hand time to fly the downwind will assist you for the landing. You might not think so, but it will. Still though, utilities like FSi or FS-Flight Control that give the user the ability to spawn the aircraft on a 10nm final, or left base entry, and fly this over and over should be doable. Practicing like this saves time, focuses on the exact phase of flight, plus you could get 5 landings in the same time that would normally be one or two. Ive used FSi until it stopped working and it was great! I'd love the ability to just reload a PMDG save flight over and over without issue to get me by. They do training just like this in the Level-D's, as the end user we should be able to do the same.
