And this topic:

Probably same problem as this topic:

I have the same issue, also with PMDG B748. I only use computer defined pushback option, and randomly it freezes after finishing the PB. No call for the pin etc... As i said: randomly. Unable to replicate, i use payware, avsim and default scenery, all correct updated via UGCx-scenery update at startup. But most of the cases it finishes the PB all to the end, without the need to "kill". P3Dv4.5, UGCx 1.9, Win10/64, PMDG B748.

PMDG is working on an update for their B744/8 to work in P3Dv5. Be patient for that though ...

Is this what you're looking for?

OK, thank you both.

It's me, for sure, but can someone tell me how to turn off or disable temporarily Chaseplane in order to manage custom PB-routes via UGCX. Until now i only worked with computer generated PB-routes, witch is not always a good idea. Tnx for your help.

Or you put the marshaller on a stair or platform as seen on some airports ... Usually at (passenger)gates there are light-systems that guide the aircraft into position.

It is really random freezing! Today again on UTAA, same cargo stand, same direction and same airframe as last time, and no freeze !? I used computer defined PB-scenario, as usual.

Not yet, will try later ...

I'm using a computer defined PB-scenario ...

I have tested with ZapCylinderAltDiff=0 but it did not help on the airport where i have this problem (was UTAA- cargo position). In either direction (northerly or southern) the ramp agent freezes after the tug was disconnected from the plane. But on some other airfields he does his job as expected, even with "ZapCylinderAltDiff=0" not inserted in FSUIPC.ini ...

Thanks, will let you know ASAP how it goes. I'm in the air right now 😉...

I have this exact situation, with the new version UGCx v1.7 Win 10/64, P3Dv4.5, PMDG B748, no FS2Crew, only UGCx When PB to one direction, agent freezes after the tug is disconnected, but nothing happens after that. PB to the other direction and everything works fine. It depends of the direction, and i have this situation on payware and default scenery.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Exactly what i did, the shortcut is added to my home screen. When opening the "virtual app" i get a full screen CDU like on my second screenshot. But when i switch to the second CDU (via two-finger method or tapping on the scews L or R) i have that grey effect on top of the screen as in my first screenshot. Then when i return to the first CDU, the screen is normal (full screen - second screenshot). Before the update to IOS13.x all worked as it should be, but sinds IOS 13.x i get this problem...

Bring up this topic as i had also one CTD on long approach (02L). Second and thirth approach were OK, disabled animations and the city. But on arrive at WSSS i have no dynamic light on the airport. On departure all is OK. Aircraft light does illuminate ground. Yes i have enabled DL both in P3D and the scenery via Imaginesim operations center. Someone has a clue how to fix this?

Someone has an idea about this one ? Can't find a solution.

Hello, I followed the tutorial on how to setup my CDU on my ipad in full screen. And it worked flowless ... ... untill the last update from IOS. Now i have full screen for the first CDU-screen, but when i switch to the second screen via [two-finger method] or the screw up right or left, i get this effect: I can not get rid of the grey bar on top of the screen. When i click on [gereed - ready] i goes back tot the previous screen with is normal full screen view. Something i do wrong or any work around please? This is normal view:

OK, thanks Charlie. But ... not sure what i did wrong last time but now i have BBCode again🤔. So i should work by now ... 👍

Hello, Is this tutorial still up to date? I have a Flickr-account, but my pictures don't have "BBCode" ... Only "Share" and "email". So i am unable to upload pictures. Thanks

Fred, As Manuel said, press the brake button every one second or so (but don't hold the button or you will flip over). This is the principle they use for the B744 as well.

ETA ?

Autobrake switch works OK with 1.3 I never even look at the display, so no need for that display events. Thanks Guenter ...

Thanks Guenter, in the mean time i have seen other posts on the PMDG forums regarding this issue. waiting for the next fix ...

Hello, Can someone investigate the issue i have: I have assigned the "APU Gen R" function via LINDA - function NGX_APU_GEN_R_on () - to one of my switches (Thrustmaster). When selecting this switch i get some sort of "very short lost of power" and the fmc gives me a warning "dual fmc op restored" and the YAW damper button flips off together with some other warning lights coming up. Whell, its hard to describe. I don't get this problem when selecting the knob on the overhead with the mouse. So only when selecting the function via LINDA. I hope i make myself clear. Unable to upload some movie clips or screenshots Running LINDA 3.0.12 and module version PMDG 737 NGXu v 1.2
