flightsimmer747

HiI've been away for a while and was curious if anything (freeware) is out for wing views ive seen alot of 747 wing views and was curious if they were pmdg ones?Again a simple yes or no will do, if yes feel free to tell me how to get them!

HiShould the new route (import plan) function be used when fs9 is running or before launching fs9 when i load asv6? Does it even matter when you load it, assuming you fly the same plan that was loaded in asv?Hope its clear thanks!

Ok thanks thats exactly what i wanted to see!

Just curious, will the team try and get there planes to work with the new FSX, basically if i purchase planes can i rest assured that getting them to work in future sims is in the plans of PMDG?Maybe a stupid question but PMDG is the only place i purchased planes for FS9 and have no clue what happens for future sims.Thanks!

Maybe a stupid question but will Active sky still be around for FSX will HIFI try to make the current version 6 work with the new sim?Of course thats assuming there won't be a complete new weather engine written for FSX, if there is i guess you start from scratch right?

Ok thanks!

I'm lokking into this and although its expensive looks like something nice to have and simple to use (plug and play), hopefully it can work with FSX?So has anyone bought it or read up on it?Thanks!

Have the future upgrades changed the deafault settings in any way option? I usually don't change my custom settings and never click "set defaults" when I install a new upgrade, but there has been many updates since b 470 and i haven't been around the forums to know what really changed??Anyone?

I get this error or shut down message rather and the MCI both processes will not shut down properly, Yes i do have the latest V1.1 747 version? EDIT Also only happens with the 747 flights and when i use the save features!Any advice?

Hi Jim i'm stll fetching the 000 @ 00 data and the runway was chosen by the winds in fs9 and not the ones in ASV now another wind speed was reported by active radar 000 at 002 however not only CYUL but the whole route including arrival airport.Hmmm hasn't happened before to me with the new ASV.

At Cyul 5:00 pm local EST time the winds in real life were at 140 at 10 kts, in ASV they were 230 at 02 kts and in fetching the report in ASV it was 000 at 00 kts and in fs9 as per the tower they were 130 at 8 kts?Whats going on?

Ok sorry i was under the impression that PMDG did know the engine ms will use since there has been talk about fsx already therefore the core is already made. But I understand what you mean its too early to tell but if it can be done it will right, thats really my question?

I've read alot about planes like the 737 and 747 pax version possibly never being updated, here is my question what happens when a new flight sim comes around example fs X will PMDG do everything they can to try to make it compatible or is the whole plane redesigned for the new sim thus another year before actually flying it again.Of course i beleive making it compatible will be the way to go, but i am just really curious on if I can carry over such an amazing plane to a new MS flight simulator, along with the 737.Thanks on any input.Happy flying!

ok i guess for the first flight i'll use that one and then shutdown the aircraft and save it.

HiI remember in the past , someone pointed out a problem with the saved flight at KPAE airport which had the cold and dark cockpit for the 747, after the patch has this been fixed or one still needs to create its own cold and dark session and save it (panel and flight)?So for next time you can just load the scenario saved or the panel to initiate the next flight with it.Can anyone clarify this for me as I don't want to use MY cold and dark panel from the PRE patch????Thanks!

Thanks Damian!!

Ok thanks seeing I only fly heavy aircraft this setting will probably be pushed up for me as in real life severe turbulence for a cessna can be light for a heavy aircraft, assuming ASV 6 (VAS and turbulence) and fs9 work this way?Is the turbulence noticed only above a certain altitude or is VAS and turb. anywhere and random even on takeoff and touch down?Sorry for all the questions but this is really as real as it gets!!!!

Hi guys1. presently have the feature "depict fs9 haze layer" OFF and " Fog generation layer " ON or selected however it says it will generate a low overcast stratus layer when no clouds are visible BUT if I have set "favor cumulas over stratus" What happens in this case, and is this stratus layer the one that looks pretty bad with hard edges and really low mostly noticeable around the mountains? 2. Since i've been playing with settings before actually doing my long long flight, I also wanted to know and noticed the default settings for VAS frequency and strength have gone down to 30% I believe at one point they used to be default 40 or 50 back in ASV days, so is the reason that most people found this setting really having an impact when at 40 or above, i presently have it set to 40 but thats when turbulence didn't exist as an option, I was simulating turbulence through VAS occurence and strength. Thanks!

Thanks guys your both very helpful!

Thanks Jim,1.I noticed in options below Auto submit, there is the option sky theme and cirrus, i have these set on wx influenced however in activesky graphics there is alot more categories should the rest be set to my liking, or also may be set to wx influence, i'm still trying to understand how the rest of the textures get selected and imported into fs9? Example 3D clouds environment etc.....2.As far as turbulence i am one who always wanted lots of it on oceanic routes and i read that this setting should be on 50% but will not matter because the wx conditions will decide the turbulence severity, then i found a thread here with users having this on 100%, can you clarify? My turbulence scale is default in fs9 (1.00000)!

1. I have global are writes selected but defaults show it to be not selected, obviously i had it selected for some reason and not sure why, can anyone elaborate on this feature....?2.The same goes for "force lowest ceiling"?3. Extend destination wind force, does this feature have to be selected along with "Force constant route pressure" and "force constant route aloft temperature"? I never had the dest wind force selected in the past, is it suggested to now?4. Suppresion ceiling and suppresion range for a long haul flyer, what should they be set at?The rest I understand very well and I understand its all based on what the user prefers, but having been away for awhile from flight sim, i need to clarify the above features.It may be important to know, as this may change a few settings based on the flying we do, Personally I'm a long haul flyer FL 300 and up and occasionaly do oceanic routes as well.Thanks!

Ok Jim thanks,Basically i never need to go in asv graphics at all in this case unless i want to change sun sets and other environmental stuff, anything that has to do with clouds will auto generate based on the weather and it will choose its own predefined textures as per the wx?

Hi Jim i always used ICS!

But wouldn't you need textures sent to fs9 before the weather influence can work with the wx, and the textures initially submitted, in this case all random theme?EditI may sound stupid but i still don't understand it, Random all or Random (can be anything) theme or weather influence, i'm confused.2nd edit i guess i need to manually choose in as 6 graphics, select random all for every category?Seeing I always use flight plans should I simply use wx influence as per your tips in one of the pinned threads?

Ok thanks this one is just fine and enough!
