FlyTampa says KLAS is coming "real soon" but what is "real soon " Just like the 747 upgrade due by New Years. - where is that? Anyway, I just wanted a pecking order of who makes the best airports in the US - ragardless of where it is. My rating is: FlyTampa A+ Drzewesky Design A+ Flightbeam A FSDT A- But as someone said, use of coutil in Addon Manager. causes me nightmares. One wrong move and you can wipe out all your scenery.

I am talking about Payware airports in the USA. Detail and Quality is my criteria. Who has the highest quality US major airports ? Any reviews on Imaginesim. I don't have any of their airports.

There are so many choices for US airports scenery. I have FlyTampa , FSDT, Flightbeam and Drzewesky Seattle Airports. I want to add Atlanta, Charlotte, Ohare and Las Vegas I know KLAS will be out soon by FlyTampa., Charlotte is offered by FSDT and ImagineSim - I don't have any ImagineSim airports. How do they rate? I also see Drzew.... is doing Ohare and Chicago. Is that the best choice for Ohare? Is there a clear pecking order in terms of quality of these players?

word not allowed Tbarker and Mace, I don't get your references about me. I think I need to use the Google to find out what you are trying to say! No fuel for you.
-
I just pick a random number, and if I run out of fuel in mid flight- I hit Pause, and add fuel. Pauly is a bad pilot.

The New Avatar Mode in P3Dv3 is so Cool!

This is a old post, but I just discovered the Avitar. I am reading posts and searching YouTube, but I can't seem to figure out to move the avitar or make him walk. Any advice -
I have the ground crew on speed dial. I always toast the brakes after every landing. I have the Saitek foot pedals. Yes, autobarkes do the trick, but nothing like stomping on them yourself. I noticed if I only apply the brakes 1/2 way, I get the asme braking power and don't cause over heating. Try applying them 1/2 way.

OK after a re-boot of the computer. It now is normal. When this happened I turned on the computer, loaded in the 747-8 at KTPA and imported my route in. The right display showed the route, the left did not. Both displays were in MAP mode. Right one had magenta route ine and when zoomed in, it showed the airport diagram. Left did not. Even after hitting STA, APT, POS nothing ever changed. I think it was a bad start-up. All is good now - hope that don't happen again.
-
I am at KTPA right now. I noticed today my left seat main display doesn't show the magenta route, nor the airport map, nor any VOR's, my right side display does show it. What did I do to disable that feature on the left side? MFC is fully configured.

I have been using Microsoft Flight Sim for a few decades and moved up to P3D. I notice the same flaws exist in both. It happens throughout multiple computers and still exists on the latest P3D 4.4. 1. I terrain mesh is set to high < 16, you still get a severe downward crash as you approach a runway off the water. I thought it was a freak thing with FSX, still exists today. 2. If you do a touch and go and try to enter a new destination in the FMC (as you just took off) you get a CTD every time. Still exists. 3. I was told that the instant replays for PMDG would not show the speed brakes and reversers on instant replay as it was a FSX constraint. No! - PMDG still can't show that on replays, yet all other planes like QW787 does. Also,I thought V4.4 was better than God. I see no difference between 4.3 and 4.4. Don't get me wrong, but 4.3 or 4.4 is totally amazing (A++ on either version) - Just 4.4 is not a game changer for me versus 4.3.

I appreciate your response but P3D doesn't have a Addon Scenery Folder. I created a folder in Program files==> Lockhead Martin==> Prepar3Dv4==>scenery added Freedom Tower folder there and then extracted all the files there. But freedom tower doesn't show up. Update - now it shows up. I had to go into P3D start up screen and under scenery add the folder's name. Now I see it.
-
I am seriously considering it. But I heard it was a real drain on your frame rates. I have a word not allowed good computer 7700X CPU with Titan X card, but I heard NYC X really slows it down. Any truth? In any event - can you assist me with that path for a single building to add - where is the path to place the files??
-
I only see one Freedom Tower as an addon. It was written for FSX but can be used in P3D I guess?? What is the folder and path I need to put it in? I created a folder in the P3D scenery folder and extracted the files there, but the tower did not show up. I have the latest P3D.
-
I see the manuals are in the EFB. I'd like save the manuals to a PDF and put in on my I-pad for reading outside the sim. Can that be done? If yes, what path is the manual found?
-
Long ago I heard PMDG was making a 747 sim at their facility in the Washington DC area that would be open to the public. I was told that it was waiting for the 747 to be complete. Is this sim ready to go? PLease advise, I'd love to make a vacation out of it. The only other 747 sim I can use is in Miami (not a bad choice for a vacation either)

What do you do if you lose speed indication?
paulyg123 replied to paulyg123's topic in PMDG General Forum
Is my analysis correct here Well say you just took of and climbing through 4000 ft. You are probably on VNAV and that is controlling your speed to 230-250 kts. You are climbing at 2000 ft/min. Flaps already retracted. If you speed indication is fails here and your speed drops can this leading to a fatal stall. I guess at level flight you’ll notice a loss with speed as you plane pitches op to maintain altitude. But if you are climbing and on autopilot,then the situation becomes harder to detect? -

Excellent responses. I really learned a lot here. That is why I love this forum. -

Downscc. Are you saying on a recent Boeing plane the pilot and copilots speeds are determined by separate systems? If that is the case I need not worry about losing my speed readings, I’d just check with my co pilot. Let me know if this is the case -
I was flying and had erratic speed readings on my 777. (Probably a weather issue with ASN or switching PMDG plane). But in real life, if you lose your speed on a 777, is there a back up instrument that gives you speed from a redundant source? Can you ask ATC for your speed? I know they have speed on their radars, but it that a result of the plane's transponder data? or from the ATC radar blip. If not, what do you do if you have no clue of your speed?
-
How many planes does one really need? I have the 737, 747, 777 and 787. I am good for the next decade.

Check list and efb question
paulyg123 replied to paulyg123's topic in PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies II
CanI ask a follow up question regarding checklist. I just landed in KBOS and want to do a quick turn around. Checklist is stuck on Shut down, but I don't want to shut down. I want to er-set checklist to preflight page. HOw is that done. Athilele said something about the "radial dial besides the screen" What is that? I am not following. -
I notice if you forget a step in the check list sequence, you can,t move toward. For instance, I forgot to do the after takeoff checklist which includes GEAR UP. If you forgot that step and are on approach, you can, complete the approach or landing checklist as the after takeoff list is stuck and you can’t clear it because it is waiting for gear up. But gear is already up and now you want to lower it. The skip step function doesn’t work. Am I missing something. on the efb how come the “send data to FMC” is always blue and can’t be hit. On the 787 efb I notice you can send the efb data to FMC and then the FMC asks you to accept it. I fill out the performance pages on the efb and get the calculations for the v speeds done, but can’t get it sent to the fmc

Anyone else stuck on "Authenticating..." for charts?
paulyg123 replied to chapstick's topic in PMDG General Forum
PMDG figured out what was causing my P3D to shut down while trying to open Nav Charts in the EFB. My computer clock was not properly synced with the correct time. Appartently this will cause a shut down of P3d. -

Michael Ticket: 0F4-234A890E-041F for this incident. Am I the only one here with this issue? Maybe I should re-install the 747-8??? -

paulyg123 replied to chapstick's topic in PMDG General Forum
I confirmed I have no re-shade. I deleted Google chrome. I installed the Navigraph Computer application to view charts and logged in. Then I open up P3D and tried to get terminal charts. It still crashes. I doid create a ticket and never heard back from PMDG on the status. How do you know status of a ticket when submitted. I received no emails. I won't uninstall all my FSDT airports and GSX. I'd rather not have the charts on my EFB then lose the FSDT stuff. My charts on my EFB work great in my QW787, but they are not linked to Navigraph. Clearly someone must have FSDT and GSX and have the 747-8 charts working. For now the work around is to open up the Navigraph program and view the charts on my 2nd monitor, until someone figures this out.
