Tutorial #2 location and displaying flight controls in lower DU

Featured Replies

Hi... after installing 737NGX into P3Dv4 I can't locate the tutorial #2 as per the instructions:

  • Start P3D and navigate to the Create Scenario screen (Flights,
  • Create Scenario) if it is not up by default.
  • Click the “Load” button.
  • Select the flight “PMDG 737NGX Tutorial #2 EHAM-LOWI”

There is no file with this name displayed... is it in another location?

Also, unrelated to the tutorial flight, pressing the MFD SYS button displays the hydraulics/flight controls on the lower DU when I have loaded the PMDG house livery but for other liveries i.e. Southwest and Ryan Air, only the hydraulics is displayed. Is this by design?

Thanks

Not sure if it mentions it or not, but the save file was created at the end of Tutorial #1, if I recall correctly.

Yes. Please read the Intro Manual, specifically the section regarding aircraft options and liveries.

It doesn't mention it explicitly, what it says is: "you can quit and come back later and load the Tutorial #2 saved flight" but that's fine, if it's created at that point then that explains why I cannot see it.

I read the intro manual again and I see what you mean... I was then able to edit the appropriate aircraft files and update this entry to display the control surfaces: MFD_FlightControlSurfacesIndicator=1

Many thanks

That wasn't the point, actually.

You can update the options through the CDU interface (MENU > AIRCRAFT > EQUIPMENT), but doing so changes it away from how the aircraft exists in reality. There's much more to it than changing that one flag (and there's an easier way), but if you're happy with the change, all is well.
