Hello,

I have recently got the PMDG 777 and 737, both base packages, for FSX and am having a few problems with the addons during native FSX Multiplayer. First of all, this is not Vatsim or IVAO, this is native FSX Multiplayer. When I spawn in in the 777 or 737 in multiplayer, the airplane will sit on the ground for a few seconds and  then immediately sink and physically crash into the ground. I found a fix around that by pausing and emptying the fuel to 30% total fuel right after the panel initializes (Using the FMC Total Fuel Level). It will then work fine. I am not sure what happened to make it do that only in multiplayer and not in singleplayer. My other issue is, after I bring my total fuel level to 30%, on the 777 I get a notification saying (Fuel Disagree). My fuel empties .1% every few seconds an I drain my fuel way too fast. I won't even fly for 15 minutes on multiplayer without keep adding more fuel in the FMC. I would like to prevent a reinstall of the PMDGs and find another fix around this as I would prefer not to go through the hastle of needing to get another download code. 

Thanks For Your Suggestions!

Have a quick look here. Not quite the same plane, but the bottom line is that it was never designed to work in FSX multiplayer in the first place. You're lucky if it does, but if it doesn't, you shouldn't have expected it to.

As for your issue Kevin already answered. Our planes were never designed to work on the default Multiplayer. The way the MP works is that reloads the aircraft something that as mentioned on the introduction manual is not recommended as it can cause the issues you see.
