A nice selection of airplanes to compliment our line of -400's. Would look good in the Ops Center. Have a Merry Christmas!

Then I don't see a reason to as well. I also think it affects several other systems as I had a list of weird stuff going on. I just figured it needed to be reset.

Great, so I'm not crazy...now, is it a BUG or did they build it like that for some reason. I'm thinking it is a bug. Support ticket will be forthcoming.

All, I am getting this weird behavior out of the airplane that I discovered when I got a failure. Can any of you see if you can replicate or is this my issue? With APU AC PUMP 3 (under fuel failures) failed, my fuel load goes to 203K and will not move. If I have 70K on there, it will jump to 203K. Also, despite fuel dumping, the gauge never comes off of 203K. For continuity sake, I am flying the Delta livery from PMDG. *Also, this is with FSX and even trying CLD and DRK start to make sure my panel states weren't corrupt.

I will add to some conspiracy theories. The end of the post spoke about their deliveries for 2018. I can't help but notice the MAX on the front of the envelope, which others have spoken about, but there is also the wing of a 747 classic (I can't tell if the JT9D's are -3A's for the -100 or -7's for the -200) in the frame and I could see that as not being an accident. While highly unlikely, it would still be a good story. There is also the nose of another 747 at the top which could be a regular -400 or -8 which would be accurate for a delivery in 2018. That's all I have...

It's just not one of the parameters that the VFE controls or looks at. I personally wish it would, but nobody has asked my opinion.

I have worked around this by opening the 2D to get the cursor up and then I will deselect the 2D, type whatever I am wanting to type, and then reselect the 2D and it is perfect.

An easy way to test this is to drop the temperature in the sim and do a takeoff. Can you do that and report what happens? I know on the A2A connie, that is a problem you have to be aware of. Maybe there is too much of a spread on the DC-6 to ever reach that point. I can't say I've noticed. I flew the XP version in the winter conditions but have not done it with the FSX version yet.

I'm about 90% sure that the ones without the spinner were a different propeller. They had the Curtiss electric propeller as well as the Hamilton standard. The Hamilton is on PMDG's. While you certainly could do it for visual reasons, you know as well as I that PMDG does not give you options just for looks when it is a different system all together. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have both propeller options but I don't see that happening.

Ticket has been submitted.

Yes, it stays up whenever the GPS is enabled.

Yes, IRS. I am not debating that map shifts are possible based on whether or not it has a radio source vs the IRS, but I am saying that I don't think that it is required to have one of your FMC's on POS INIT 2/3 for it to happen. It will only show DD IRS(3) when I am on that page. When I go away from that page, it reverts back to just IRS(3). I think this would be an automated feature. That's my issue.

So I am simulating a non-GPS aircraft by failing the left and right GPS's and disabling GPS position updates. I have some funny things happening with the tracking of LNAV. With the radios in autotune, on the ND it just shows INS(3). When I go to either FMS and select POS INIT 2/3, then the NDs show DD(dme/dme) and INS(3) below it and the aircraft seems to be about 5nm off course and the aircraft turns to correct that. As soon as the FMC page leaves POS INIT 2/3 (either 1/3, 3/3, or another page altogether), the DD leaves the ND and the aircraft turns back to the original course. When the GPS is operating, GPS is always displayed on the ND. Is this a bug or does the real aircraft actually act like this? The manuals don't seem to speak to this in too much detail other than confirming DD,GPS, or nothing on the ND depending on what the primary update source is. Ideas?

Update. I followed PMDG's instructions and deleted EVERYTHING they told me to, redownloaded the installer, reinstalled, deleted the OC and reinstalled as they instructed and I am left with the same problem. I have updated my ticket and we will see what they say.

From what I understand, if you re-downloaded then the 747 should be as up to date as the hot fix through OC. So if it is still showing bad, then maybe it is a problem with the OC. They are having me go and delete the OC and start over there too.
