PMDG 777 nosewheel crashes on landing in AP

Featured Replies

Hello, do you experiencer this phenomenon when you make an automatic landing on PMDG 777 with the front caster suddenly crashing?

Kind regards

Marc

 

 

Well,

last weekend I found some spare time to put various aspects of the PMDG 777 simulation to test, and on two occasions, one with crosswinds with an effective xw componnet of up to 10 knot, the autoland was perfect, including the ROLLOUT phase. 

No nose gear collapse at all.

I have malfunctions/failures disabled. Might it be due to failures being active in your configuration?

Thank you Jcomman and Bigsky for your assistance,answer i will try to disabled all failures features in PMDG SETUP thru FMC.

Apparently misalignment of the LOC course in MSFS is a known problem. There is a CDU menu option at

PMDG Setup > Options > Simulation

The function of which is described as follows in the 777 Introduction

Quote

CORRECT LOC CRS TO MSFS: Regarding navigation data, MSFS has an inherent weakness in that data related to ILS/LOC stations is hard coded into the simulator and is not updated to keep it current with the normal magnetic shift. The end result is that the localizer final approach course in the MSFS world will sometimes vary from the real world. Since many users also use real-world navigation charts, this can create confusion and problems if the LOC course needs to be correctly set to match the MSFS hard-coded information. (The aircraft cannot fly the localizer properly if the CRS on the CDU NAV RAD page is set incorrectly) To compensate for this, we recommend setting this option to ON, and we will read the appropriate MSFS localizer course and adjust the setting for you, thus saving you time and frustration.

I haven't yet checked this option, but it seems to address ILS misalignment.

Good luck.

An alternative method, which is a fix for all aircraft, can be found here: https://sors.fr/aero/navaids.html

It updates the sim's magnetic variation files. Just read the documentation and back up the original MSFS m.v. files on your PC.

I just did the Sors magdec update, and changed PMDG setting to on, Still having issue.
