I Have this problem too, i googled to see if it was my procedure, and it send me to this page. glad to see its not just me, and that its relevant now too, and not 2011... Tho reading above i did recreate a new hold without telling it how big to be ( my fake world SOP usually calls for 5 or 10 miles) and its drawn what i would have expcted and not a perfect circle! thanks for the informative posts too, I never realised there was so much thought going into a holding pattern.

Negative maybe, but its probably true. Liam "I forgot my name again" Reynolds

yay. Another step closer to finding out what's being developed next.... One thing you have taught me over the last 12 years PMDG.... Paitence. happens when it happens and not a moment before... Liam "Nearly forgot my name" Reynolds

It does appear that X-Plane is having more and more in the way of releases. I have invested a lot of money in P3D, but the amount of aircraft available seems really lacking for what it is that I would like to do. With what Kyle said in mind, It just seems that aircraft take years to develop, (as long as the real world counterparts) there must be what 3-4 companies all "in development" just frustrating I guess when supply cannot keep up with demand. Anyways I have spent a little time on the classic. and I like what I see, I couldn't get on with the platform is all, so I'm hoping that it comes towards P3D rgds.

My bad. I misread somebody's post on page one... They were talking about Iberia. In a previous life, my job was to save fuel/time for BA (well British Regional/CitiExpress) on a daily basis. We would work on a rough rate of 145gbp a minute, that the plane wasn't sat on the floor, and that was 10 years ago. They stripped all the APU's out of the Dash 8's to save money, so I'm not surprised that they are now onto lightbulbs.... Lets be honest, we could close off lavatory's, stop using APU's on all aircraft, and even go to the extreme of flying on one engine.... Just because we have two doesn't actually mean you have to use it do you? Trip 7 can be certified for what, 300 mins of flight on one engine. there is a maths equation in there somewhere between drag, weight, increased fuel et al for someone far cleverer than I! and yes, its an absurd suggestion...

Sounds like a challenge to me!!!! Liam Reynolds

Have you got any routes or SID/STAR that have this problem?? I have been testing all week, and haven't noticed anything. Liam Reynolds

I re read you reply and realise you probably know exactly what they are... but if it helps someone else ill leave the info below! Liam... I was hazard a guess that the Red and green, (akin to port and starboard on a boat) are shown as navigation lights, in fact... (wikipeida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_light) - Right-of-way lights — A red light is mounted on the left or port side of the craft and a green on the right or starboard side. In a situation where the paths of two watercraft or aircraft cross, these lights help each crew determine the other craft's direction and who has right-of-way. When two craft have crossing paths, each sees a red or green running light. The craft on the port side, which must yield right of way, sees the red light on the other, while the craft on the starboard side, which has right of way, sees the green on the other. Where as position lights show your position (same web page as above) - Aircraft navigation lights are placed in a way similar to that of marine vessels, with a red navigation light located on the left wingtip leading edge and a green light on the right wingtip leading edge. A white navigation light is as far aft as possible on the tail or each wing tip.[3] High-intensity strobe lights are located on the aircraft to aid in collision avoidance. It goes on from there...

This is one of the best topics this forum has had in a long time, certainly more intresting to read than a "whats next" or "when will it be released?" Its something i had not even considered, as far as i was concerned (UK airline/airport experience from 2000-2008) it was; If the batteries are on, the nav lights are on, when doors are shut and your ready to push get the beacon goes on, and when your live on the runway your strobes are on. I mean exactly how much fuel are we talking about here for saving? its cant be that much can it??? Liam Reynolds

I found this series very helpful. I painted my first ever aircraft last weekend, and used this as my guide. (although mine was a fictional repaint for my own endeavours) I used Premiere Elements 14, and P3D SDK for converting .psd files into the .dds format. Hope it helps. Liam Reynolds.

you can pay me to watch for you... - oh, and iv lost 25 mins checking THIS forum to see which aircraft I secretly hope they announce next (757) is NEVER being produced by PMDG. its not just the checking for that all important announcement that will see us run into a speculating/ feature request frenzy (wings engines and wheels please). There is always a thread thats worth a read to learn from what others are discussing. For intstance, who knew that over clocking a PC can screw your sim... AND there is a thing called 1st Split scimitar! what ever that is. (Oh... that just looks gross #iamout) Liam (I nearly forgot my name again) Reynolds.

I have come from FS9. spent £1500 on a new system last October and went straight into P3D, apart from occasional unexplained crashes, and vas Issues ( own fault for running way to much stuff) I really have gotten back to flight sim, and since buying the 777 and the 737 just after Christmas, I'm on around 60 flights for 2016. Its a large investment, but the hours of joy its brought have totally been worth it. Dig deep and go for it!! Liam Reynolds
