You've nailed it there 👍. I tried to watch one sim streamer - can't remember who and lasted all of about 2 minutes. What is more incredulous than people actually paying them are those that worship them like they are the font of all knowledge. However, if people like them - live and let live 🤷‍♂️

I agree. The amount of PMDG bashing going on lately is below the belt. No one knows what their coding challenges are so what they say for their product should be respected.

You can't - they are Garmin databases.

A lot of PMDG bashing going on lately. Have you logged into your PMDG store account and looked up your order? When I do I see an Activation Key sitting there.

Members defending their turf to the death provides no end of entertainment. At the risk of incurring the wrath of all and sundry, I have BOTH P3D and MSFS installed. No intention of deleting P3D and will buy the FSL Concorde and 330 for P3D. There, I've said it. 🤣 Live and let live...

In the FMC: PMDG Setup -> Options -> Simulation -> Page 2 -> LSK3L

I think you need to read some of the supplied manuals. When you state "Top of Climb or whatever its called" it sounds like you're a bit out of your depth.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your help. Correct, autopilot disengaged.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. Everything is configured correctly to my knowledge. If I lift off and let the control column go, the aircraft goes immediately into a left roll and if let go, spiral dives into the ground. I checked for failures and don't believe any triggered - the effect is if I have had an engine failure, however the engines were operating correctly.

OK, so I bought the 310. One thing I have noticed is that upon lift off, with the aircraft properly configured, the aircraft will develop a roll to the left to the point where it goes beyond 30 deg angle of bank and will spiral to the ground. This may well be my controls not calibrated properly, although I did do a calibration through Win 10. Any ideas? I am a multi engine Instructor, although I haven't flown a 310 - however I have flown a C340 amongst quite a few other real twins, and I find it hard to believe this is normal behaviour for a 310, so I am hoping it is my control setup.

I agree with the OP. Same applies to Airbus - all we ever see are a myriad of variations of the 318-321 family.

Don't miss them at all. I still have the Royal Duke in P3D

Sorry, that's no excuse. If you didn't like the tone of the OP's initial post, then ignore it. Why respond with a pack attack, which is the AVSIM way these days, sadly?

You can't really say that without knowing what development processes PMDG go through or use - maybe their complaints are valid? - nobody would know.

Looks like a tow bar for the aircraft.
