VRInsight
Hi Nick,I have the VRInsight MCP-Combopanel and it works like a charm with the B744/F - FS9.I can not give any recommendations for FSX and MD-11 as i don't own these however.

Speed transition, error detected
Hi,You have set a speed "restriction" of 250/10000 at LSK4L, thats why the aircraft restricts to that speed, even if the speed "transition" LSK3L is mutch higher.

Keyboard Assignment
Hi Lorenzo,Make sure the letter M is not used by any other program that for some reason uses FS (like FSUIPC, ...), and also that this letter is not used by FS itself !Also make sure FS is the active window! (Not for example FSC, IVAP, teamspeek or whatever!)

How To Enter Aloft Wind Data In Fmc
Someone will correct me if i am wrong, but in the LEG's page you can only enter speed/altitude.However, you can enter wind aloft data, and these data are used to calculate the descend in VNAV => go to the VNAV page 3/3, then select [forecast] :Here you can enter the FL for the arrival airport, and untherneat there are three free spaces where you can enter wind aloft data (thus three different use the data for the arrival airport).Well, as i said, if i am wrong someone hopefully will correct me ...I am talking about the B744 - have no idea for the MD11!Happy Newyear ;-)

Sound Issue With Pmdg 737
I had in the past also a problem with my sound. I am flying B744. Difficult to discribe but at about FL150 that scratchy sound begon. I don't know when (i mean with witch patch or upgrade) it started, it's to long ago.That scratchy sound was the "wind" that blows along the cockpit at higher speeds and altitudes and is typical for this bird.But it was to annoying to listen to, so my solution was to alter the "Sound.ini" file so that this "wind" came up only at FL600 (witch i never reach with this bird. Now my problem is "solved" altough i miss the wind blowing passed FL150.

A respectful suggestion from a forum browser
I agree with you all, it is standard behaviour in other fora around ...However, it COULD help us if EVERY new topic subject should begin with the aircraft involved, like MD11: ..., B744 FS9: ... , B744 FSX: ..., etc ...This is until now good behaviour for most of the topics, but there are still a lot of topics beginning with : "Help please ...".Offcourse, if you post in this forum it is for help, but it could help people to state in their topic subject the reason for their help AND the aircraft involved. I have the - maybe not so good - attitude to leave these topics left who are not stating the aircraft involved or the very specific reason ...But it would be alot more helpfull if the forum was divided into subfora ...Keep up the good work

land 3 issue
>Are we confusing 3 A/P engagement with LAND 3 green>(1500agl)? Perhaps all this was before 1500'? I need to>watch that video again!Hey, Just watched that video also and as far as i can see, the APPR-mode was armed but NOT yet active (LOC captured but glide slope NOT yet). I still can see a white annunciation on the PFD under the green annunciation for pitch mode!Well, it is not SO clear on the video, so please don't shoot me if i'm wrong ;-)

Holding
Well John, i am sure it is me, and maybe i am looking to fast so i overlooked it, but in the FMC-manual i can not find anything except what Tompeel says.Anyway Tompeel, the "HOLD" page is really straightforward. Just make sure you hit "EXEC" and "LNAV" is active. Depending of the direction you enter the holding the plane will make some turns and this may look like it overflys the holding but it will return and you will enter the holding. These turns are called "Direct entry", "parallel entry" and "teardrop entry". (Not sure about the last one).You can even program a HOLD at your present position, so you must click LSK6R "PPOS" (it is on the page when you first click the "HOLD" button).So just patient and enjoy the complexity of the plane:-)

Look for the "747400gauges.ini" file normally found at : ...Flight Simulator 9PMDG747400gauges.iniOpen with notepad, and look for the line "TCAS_ShowRangeRings=0 and change the "0" into "1". You can find this line under "ND".Save and close the file.Then Rightclick on the file and select "Properties". Select in tab "General" the option Read-only and select "apply" and "OK".Your done.This solution is so simple that one don't even think about it, thanks Rob.EDIT: Aaah, Carl, you where to fast !

Old Issue: ND WX range rings on 744
Hi Jonathan,I have exactly the same behaviour, don't know if there is a work around. And most of the time i forget to change the INI before flight, so i can't get those rings to work after starting a flightx(
