Hi All,

I guess I have found a point to make PMDG even more immersive. According to Flight Crew Operations Manual, even if flight directors are off during takeoff roll you can engage flight directors after takeoff by pushing TO / GA switch after 80 knots, below 2000 ft AGL and before 150 seconds after lift-off. I could not manage to do that in PMDG 737NG. 

It would be very helpful of you to confirm me. If you could manage engaging flight directors only by TO / GA switch after takeoff, please inform.

King regards

Page reference in the FCOM for that information?

It looks like that applies to the HDG SEL on takeoff option.... thanks for pointing that out.  I've not tried it yet but I'll take your word that it's not simulated.  The ideal thing to do is to put this on a support ticket and get the feature documented as a feature request so it can be picked up by developers when they are working on the NG3.

Thanks for your interest. I will continue with the support ticket. Please let me know me if you can manage to turn on the flight directors when you try.

Best Regards

Is it explained why you would want to takeoff with both F/D off ? (just for situation awareness here on my end)

Thanks

Hey!

nope. This feature of the aircraft is precautionary in case they are forgotten off, I guess.
