VHOJT

Hi all, Was wondering which one has better performance, and which one looks better? And does DD NYC city scenery make performance nasty? Cheers, Rudy

As you say, I would be keen to buy once these issues have been ironed out. I have an 8GB card so am keeping a keen eye on the VRAM business, their responses to being able to simply import a .rte flight plan or some sort of import, and their performance calc in the EFB. I don't think it's.a P3D limitation that it's not in there! Others have perf calc. In case they don't - TOPCAT has MD-11 data, and is still available to buy if you don't have it. Obviously it's old, but t does get AIRAC updates and does what I says on the tin. But TFDI do need to address this.

Hi all, It seems PFPX's weather server is down? Should I let them know or is @srcooke already onto it? Cheers, Rudy

I think the date/stime screen can be buggy. I always uncheck/check again the UTC time, and input the date/time in UTC.

Activesky for me. Cloud variation, metar correctness, historical wx, and continual improvement.

Don’t see how having performance calc excluded from EFB is a P3D limitation. I’ll be keeping an eye on this aircraft. Keen to get it, but only when it’s up to scratch.

In yet another amazing PR move, Randazzo shuts the thread over there and makes no comment. I am absolutely loathe to give them money again. Not to mention that forum has become a toxic environment, with a couple of members who seem to be there and allowed to make posts just to be sarcastic and wind people up. On a separate note - I have been enjoying their NGXu lately. Was disappointed to see single engine flying requires no rudder though! After initial takeoff, you can fly around with zero rudder trim and zero rudder input and there is no yaw. Apparently they did this to make singe-engline taxi possible (https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-737-ngxu-for-prepar3d-v4/93379-engine-out-no-yaw-movement) but it's a bit of a glaring problem. The PMDG planes work very well on the surface (mostly - there are still lots of things they claim are sim limiations that other developers have got around - e.g. engine spool which FSL got right years ago), but dig any deeper and there is not a lot there. The take home - use it for normal ops and that's about it.

Hello all, I noticed the wonderful Godzone has closed down 😞 Is there anywhere I can find/get Dunedin/NZDN, or anyone able to share it? I saw TOGA had NZCH, but not NZDN. Any help would be much appreciated! He did such a good job of Dunedin. Cheers and many thanks, Rudy

You think they might give some notice as a courtsey to their customers if this is permanent. Was toying with idea of getting 747-8 but there you go. I guess my fault for expecting more of them.

I think you can to an extent. Or are you going to tell me you can't tell different voices apart on YouTube now?

I said "as far as I can tell". I have heard it in many videos and think the P3D version sounds better. No need for a case mate. Just read the words without adding your spin to it.

Just to be clear - the P3D sounds do not sound like the new ones - so if they were ported, it was not a "straight copy". P3D 777 sounds are better as far as I can tell (only own the P3D version).

777 is newer than an A320. Personally I like the brown cockpits and think the 777 is a very neat and tidy looking flight deck.

I am keen to make a profile for the PFPX (a more in-depth flight planning software) flight planner. I emailed them a while back, but did not hear back. I would need some data on what sort of fuel burn they have modelled.

Even better, you can go to the outside view if necessary. A significant advantage not afford to real pilots!
