Kyle, Thanks for your explanation - apologies accepted although you should definately refrain from writing stuff like "it doesn't do you any good helping a customer out". It comes accross very harsh and impolite. Let me be more clear on the actual issue. The route string in the FSinn flightplan (PFPX output in ICAO format) always gets overwritten as soon as I use any of the uplink features in the 777. Doesn't matter whether I use the VATSIM prefile webpage or whether I file the flightplan manually by loading the flightplan inside FSinn and click "send to tower". Disabling the AUTO ALTN LIST UPLINK in the aircraft options doesn't seem to help. The issue doesn't happen on any other aircraft, it's definately related to the 777 uplink feature and that's why I've come to seek help at this place. I was hoping anyone here recognize the issue and/or have a solution. Thanks in advance! Mark Jansen

Kyle, The problem I encounter -as illustrated in the image- happens specifically on the PMDG 777, after using the FMC uplink features. Is it really a crime to seek for help on the forum of the developer? I am a loyal customer; it's the first time I've used this forum to seek for help on an issue. I do not wish to be talked to like you did. In case you don't want to help - fine. Just don't reply next time and don't set a negative tone in the subject. Anyone else has an idea what the issue might be? Best regards, Mark Jansen

Hi everyone, Using the PMDG 777 with ActiveSkyNext, PFPX and FSinn, I find my flightplan messed up after using one of the uplink features of the FMC. This is what happens: I usually prefile the flightplan through the VATSIM prefile webpage (which is why the route shows as EGLLEHAM01 in the image) but if I file the saved flightplan manually through FSinn, the same happens. Immideately after connecting to VATSIM, everything looks fine. After inputting the route and using the WIND UPLINK features of the FMC (or even the ALTN airport uplink, for that matter) the route immideately gets distorted. Anyone has a clue what causes the problem? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Mark Jansen

How do you guys disconnect the autopilot on final approach? If I press "Z" twice to cancel the horn, it engages the autopilot again on the 2nd keypress. What am I doing wrong? :) Also, is it normal that the autothrottle off light (just above the navigation display) has to be pressed to stop the warning? Thanks for any replies! Mark

I have exactly the same issue, both with manually saved flights as well as it AutoSave saved flights. Very annoying since FSX has a tendancy to crash regularly. I'd like to see this fixed with high priority.Thanks!Mark Jansen

Hi everyone, First: thanks PMDG for this nice product!One of the issues I am dealing with is that FSX crashes upon loading a situation file that was automatically created using AutoSave (included in FSUIPC). This always worked fine with the MD11 and B744. Is this a known issue? Not sure if it actually happens with self created situation files too. Thanks!Mark Jansen

Hi everyone,Does anyone have an idea why my engines are switched off automatically every time I exit slew mode in FSX? It seems to happen with all addons, even default planes. The only key I use to enter/exit slew mode is Y, which is not assigned to switching off the engines.Thanks for any reply!Mark Jansen

Hi,Are you sure it is "Zeestern" and not "Zeester"?I have not seen any pics of this aircraft on the known sites so far. Better delay it for a short while and make sure the name is OK, then releasing a version now with a wrong name on it.I'll try to find it out and let you know.Thanks and regards from a sunny Schiphol airport,Mark JansenThe Netherlands

Hi George,It works now for me too with FS2004 internal setting, however I can see my own aircraft constantly also as a yellow symbol, accompanied by the message "traffic" displayed on the right of the map display. Do you guys have the same?Regards,Mark Jansen

Guys,When flying online at networks like VATSIM, do I need AIBridge to display the traffic? The manual does not mention it but I hear some people saying that AIBridge is needed.Regards,Mark Jansen

Shots look very good.... but it hurts to see "OUR" PH-HZL in Air Berlin livery!! :-(Good job though!Regards,Mark Jansen/The Netherlands

Hi JP,I have exactly the same problem, the beeping only occurs after the 2nd take off run. In other words: if the plane has flown already before, and is used on a 2nd flight.I checked the spoilers but there does not seem to be a difference. Does anyone of PMDG have a solution or is it just a bug? Using FS2002 btw.Regards,Mark Jansen

Hello everyone,I have two remarks/questions:1) When using the VOR/LOC function during the departure phase of the flight (for instance to track a radial during the SID), it seems to be impossible to use VNAV therafter. Also several pages on the CDU (CLB and CRZ) are not available anymore after using VOR/LOC.It does not happen a lot, but on certain airports (like Innsbruck) it is necessary to track a LLZ during a phase of the SID. When VNAV is engaged therafter, it won't connect. Is this a bug or is it the way the real plane behaves too?2) During the take-off roll of any SECOND flight with the panel, I get an annoying Beep Beep Beep-sound. Usually this means that the take off configuration is not properly set. However, my elevator trim is set to 5,5, my flaps are set to 5 and the CDU is programmed normal. This only happens when making a 2nd flight, after landing at an airport. Also, the Autobrake does not go off automatically. Is there something I do wrong which makes the plane think it is not in take off config? The sound disappears as soon as I left the ground.Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated!Regards,Mark JansenThe Netherlands
