P3D v2.4; B200 SP1 SP2 CG way too far forward. In Fuel & Payload window: Empty weight, CG sign located at propeller. Fuel full, CG sign located at windshield. Any suggestion? Thanks.

tgibson, you're good. thanks man.

Does anyone happens to know which addon makes my FS9's streams lower than surrounding terrain, it looks like trench. Thanks.

Thanks Luis. You have no ideal how many times and ways I try to use SBuilder. I have checked all 36 pages of ptsim scenery design forum, http://www.ptsim.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=18 and found no solution. VB Lib, decimal, v2.02, v2.05 (no need further version obviously)...Maybe it IS the OS language problem. I saw one post with screenshoot which OS is my language has the same situation, and there is no answer. always "run-time error '62' Input past end of file" when copy finished. I don't have the honor of seeing what it SBuilder looks like by now. :(

I don't know what I have done is correct or not. With Ground2k4 I design custom ground texture by creating "New VTP2 polygons", defining "Other texture" and circling each area one by one, then generate BGL file.It looks not too bad in Sim.Questions are Resolution: FS9's maximum ground texture resolution is 4.8M/p, then how can I make high-res ground texture? I tried to use 512x512 and 1024x1024 bitmap in same area (source map high enough), but seemed no difference in Sim. What is "other technique"? Do I have to use GMax or something? Area: Tired about "one by one", cause the whole field is about 250sq.km, and there is a limitation of Ground2k4, 127 polys top. So I tried to circling 4 area once a time, and make the ground texture same size, but it repeats one entire texture in 4 areas in Sim. Looks I still don't understand the rules. Could someone help me with?Gap or seams or joints whatever: Are they permanent whit VTP2 polys in FS9? Someone use "overlap", how? I mean if there are "lines" in picture like ridge of field, should they broken at the edge when overlap? And someone said I can define a new landclass underlying and make it more close to the coustom texture color, but I don't understand why the grid move when I click "LC" button in Ground2k4(still the rules?), and if I don't think there are similar color in the list, how to use 252 and 253, there is no extra dialog box. Transparence: The edge tiles of my whole custom area. Cause they are all rectangle, so the picture may have something I don't want to show up in Sim.Is that possible to make the picture partly transparent?I did alpha channel but it shows white with VTP2 polys.Thanks very muchBilly

I am drawing a big curving apron. I don't know how to make a hollow one just like donut, so I make it like "C" and move the both edge very cloesly, then it looks like "O". Depend on this - keeping "Insert new point", I draw this big apron with one long circle, but something strange happen, in some place I can't activate the green diamond vertex into yellow, say I can't move them ever. Would you please give me some advice? Billy

Reinstall XP, reinstall FS, reinstall PMDG, reinstall IvAp, situation still. So weird.

The PMDG 747 CDU font becomes like above. Include ORIGEN and DEST "

In PMDG747 "Normal Procedures": APU ON, WNEN AVAIL, APU GEN CTRL SWITCHES 1 AND 2 ON, FUEL CONTROL SWEICHES 1,2,3,4 CUTOFF.If I do these just after I start the FS004 and load the PMDG747 model. It looks and sounds OK.But if I do these after landing, I got horn when I cutoff the fuel of engin 2. And still before that everything looks normal in EICAS.Thanks.

1. After startup all 4 engines by normal procedures, I check the flight controls system in secondary EICAS STAT page. Sometimes I can see the Outboard Aileron comes up when I move. But sometimes they don't. Why? 2. After your engines have stabilized at about 70% of N1, hold a moment then press To/GA button. What exactly the "moment" is. Cause if I hold the "moment" for a little longer then press T0/GA , I'll get "Takeoff speed Deleted" in CDU, and "No VSPD" also in PFD.

747-400Everytime I startup the engines by AutoStart, that is push the fuel first and pull the starter next, No.4 No.1 is ok, but I hear warning sound when startup No.2 engine and 3 engineEICAS:ELEC GEN OFF 2(3)>BLEED 2(3) OFFHYD PRESS ENG 2(3)ENG 2(3) OIL PRESSELEC DRIVE 2(3)And if I startup the engines by manual, that is pull the starter first, monitor N2 at 20-25% then push the fuel, I can get nothing abnormal warning.In "NORMAL PROCEDURES" page 12 DUCT PRESSURE "Duct pressure should exceed 30 psi immediately after ENGINE START SELECTOR is pulled" I never get 30 psi until all 4 engines started.please!

Easily solving this problem is to replace the "747" to "PMDG747_ENGSTART" and copy the start sound back into the folder.But this PMDG747_ENGSTART.wav seems too "long" or "late" for the V1R10's engine.Would you tell me how is "xPMDG747_ENGSTART" working?

When I turn the A/T ARM switch ON? Before t/o or after t/o?In "PMDG 747-400 Operating Manuals" I can't clearly find when.So, I leave A/T ARM OFF untill I t/o. But after t/o and climbing I turn on the A/T ARM, the A/T mode doesn't work. In FMC "250/10000" was set. but the airspeed is out of control. PFD is still blank about the throttle reference. When this situation, I must slow down manualy. Or I press VNAV button twice whatever VNAV is ARMed or not.BUT before V1R10. I never reach this problem. Still leave A/T ARM OFF, push throttle, speed up, t/o, climbing, then A/T switch ON. everything is OK.
