Tony,Ensure that the APU is turned off, when you don't need it any longer.

Joe,The 777s are indeed available as a multi-pack including all 3 models???Cheers,S

Gavin,Maybe not the help you're looking for... but anyway. I've got the 200LR as well and I don't have any bobbing at all. I'm not near my FS PC at the moment so I can't look up the numbers, but I never touched any of the pax/cargo load figures and the stability is the same regardless of whether I take 20, 40 or 60 tons of fuel with me. I simply use the excel sheet to get the proper CG (normally around 26 - 28%) , load that in the FMS and set the resulting take-off trim.So, maybe a quick re-install to ensure that you have the original load figures?

I was flying offline, with ActiveSky Enhanced wx. I'm right now on the next leg, KORD-KIAH and I have reproduced it again. Climbed initially to FL380 (with STEP SIZE 0), the ETAs were looking fine. When OPT FL was 389 I climbed to FL400 and the ETAs started drifting.At the moment OPT FL is FL391, I've tried switching the STEP SIZE between 0 and 2000 (which would be the correct value), but no improvement.All this aside, if I remember well, this problem as well as the proper solution (Norman?) has already been identified, so don't waste your time on too much research... ;-)Cheers,S

Based on earlier posts shortly after release of the 777, I have been using a step size of 0, which has almost eliminated the "crazy ETAs" problem. Sure, you've got to keep an eye on things to do the steps at the optimum time yourself, but that's not exactly rocket science. However, yesterday I flew EGLL-KORD and when I did my final step from FL380 to FL400 somewhere over Canada the ETAs were all over the place and never recovered. It has to be said that: 1) I stepped too early, OPT FL was 388, and2) I was only about 750 miles from KORDNevertheless, if this helps spot the solution....Cheers,S

Sorry Frank,You're wrong. The freq. for ILS30R OMDB was changed on 7 July 2005 to 110.9. Check this link for the official NOTAM information: http://www.navdata.at/downloads/aip/UAE_0505.pdf LLook at NOTAM A0213/05 and A0214/05 - now a totally different problem is whether the scenery you're using has the new or the old freq. but that's a totally different topic... ;-)

This problem is recognized as already mentioned in the Sticky post at the top of the forum.....Cheers,S

Bill,INERTIAL is correct, remember you're telling the Inertial Reference System where you are located. Agree on the second one ;-)

John,Just confirm a VRef of 162 kts?? That corresponds to a weight of about 590ooolbs, waaaay above Max. Landing Weight, regardsless of which variant you use.

>Well its more like slamming onto the runway, Ive tried doing>Cat III on several Cat II runways and it gets it down but it>slams hard onto the runway and in most cases hits nose wheel>first.Utter rubbish!As Randy just said there is no difference if FS (or real life for that matter) between a CAT II or CAT III signal. Period.

Look at my specs below, definitely lower than yours! At KBFI I get consistent rock-steady 24 FPS (locked at 24). Drivers up-to date?

Mark is right, it has to be input on both pages. Anticipating the next question - yes, there is a small error on the DES page, the label should actually read TRANS LVL as in Transition Level, which is what you use during descent. The value itself is correctly expressed as a FL, i.e. if you input 8000 it will show FL080.

Just a quick follow-up after further testing. As suspected, both EICAS and the MFD FUEL page correctly reflect the selected international settings - it's just the MFD ENG page that shows the FF in lbs/hr x 1000 regardless of the above settings.

Dean,Good point, I use the same settings as you... If I look at the fuel totalizer it is indeed expressed in tonnes on my system, whereas the fuel flow is clearly expressed in lbs/hr x 1000 (hence my expression "kilopounds" ;-))Now, the question is - and this one's for PSS - is this by design or a small thing that slipped through?Looking at the illustrations in the manual, it clearly says "Kgs x1000" for the EICAS total fuel indication and on the MFD FUEL page Total Fuel indicator has a similar label. The explanatory text for the individual tank figues on the same page, however, says "Displays tank fuel quantity in selected weight x1000". And as we know, the ENG page of the MFD just says "Engine fuel flow per hour x1000".I'm nowhere near my simming PC, so I can't experiment with settings at the moment, but I'll try later.

Dean,You're seeing "kilopounds" - in your case approx. 6900 lbs/hour per engine. I'm getting an average of 13.400 lbs/hour total, using a Cost Index of 0, based on approximately 45 hours of flight so far in the 777-200LR.

Check THE sticky post at the top of the forum... It's on the list!

This is the closest suitable Alternate airport at any time during your flight.

>Try setting the autobrake to MAX, if it is on 1, 2, or 3>reverse thrust will not work.>>v/r>>ToddNot true!I've done at least 10 landings with autobrake set to 2, reverse thrust has worked everytime???

Did you check for full control surfaces deflection as part of your pre-flight checks? I have done a couple of landings with a crosswind component of about 10 kts without running off the runway. Mind you, that was in the -200LR - don't know if that makes a difference...Cheers,S

Hi ???Something's wrong with your system, my specs are lower than yours and I get 23 - 25 constantly (locked at 25), and that's with ASV, 3D clouds etc. Just as you I use NoVC model, but I have the PFD and ND refresh rates set at 9.

Andrea,Bottom left key takes you to the DEP/ARR INDEX page.Cheers,S

No, I've only been reading here so far, but I'll head over there now ;-)S

Eddie,- and all others with a dislike for the Cessna trick - you DO NOT have to do it every time you load the 777 (or other complicated add-ons). What is crucially important however, is that you let the FS9 Default flight remain just that, ie. the default Cessna at Seattle. So, if you have changed the FS9 default flight to something else for whatever fine reason, change it back to the Cessna at Seattle.Then quit FS9, fire it up again, select the default flight at Seattle, hit "Let's Fly". When you are in the cockpit of the Cessna on 34R, switch off the engine, but leave the Master and Avionics switches on - very important!Now change aircraft, select the 777 with/without VC, choose your favourite paint, hit "Fly now" and give the 777 some 20 seconds to settle before you continue. Then save this flight with an appropriate name like "My 777 at KSEA", but DO NOT make it the default flight.Quit FS9, restart and select your just saved flight, for me at least, this works flawlessly every time. I have then used that baseline saved situation to create other saved situation at my favourite airports, no problem wit them either.Whether will solve some of your other problems - only time will tell, but I have yet to experience any of the most often reported problems.HTH,S
