  1. Been "waiting" for this one for years... does anybody know if it'll come with a 2D panel? They used to have previews of it on their homepage which looked pretty darn good! Thanks. Edit: here they are... http://www.digital-aviation.de/site/?p=321
  2. Obvious question: Are you at this time still planning to add the -900ER, BBJ or any other variant (e.g. Neptune*)? If so, would you be willing to disclose at which priority? *bit.ly/162PLvr
  3. I personally find that aside from having the correct airplane configuration, it is valuable to know more about the distinct airline's procedures, e.g. exterior light policy, cost index, special procedures, etc. That information is usually much harder to obtain.
  4. On a related note, by clicking on this link > http://bit.ly/18Rh3H7 < you will find quite a few images from the flight deck of FedEx B77F, M11F and B75F. Quite a rarity I'd say. The photog appears to be a pilot for the airline.
  5. ...I hope they will say they are most proud of the taxi camera on the -300(ER) :ph34r:
  6. Congrats, a relative of mine did a round trip on this flight; I kind of envy her but it must be pretty grueling in economy class.
  7. Hi all, I may have missed this, but I'd really to know if (and possibly to what extent) crew communications are modeled on the B777. I just finished watching the JustPlanes Air Canada Polar Route and on final approach into VHHH, you could hear a characteristic 'ding' sound in the cockpit which was the flight attendant reporting the cabin in ready for landing condition. Is that simulated? On the DA Fokker 70/100 I really liked how you could tell the cabin to prepare for T/O and LDG and 'they' (well, the simulation) would, hopefully in time, report back to you. The Level-D 767 had similar features - e.g. a call from the flight attendant when the cabin was ready for pushback after the door had been closed. Many thanks!
  8. Usual advice: Turn down LOD, disable unused sceneries, use lower texture resolution. Is it possible that you are using FSDT's CYVR?
  9. Just push the yoke down and advance the throttles. or Pull the yoke up and reduce the throttles. That should get it done... :ph34r:
  10. Looks to me as if you experienced CAT – Cat Air Turbulence!
  11. Yes. Wonderful screenshot!
  12. When you guys say long haul, I take it you fly the whole route without time compression?
  13. Yes and that is exactly what should be prevented.
  14. Well, you can let them play on your PC. :wink: That is as close as you'll get legally.
  15. Aircraft GW too high for the FL?
  16. With forum software having advanced so much over the years, it still makes me wonder there seems to be no way to prevent double posts...
  17. Well, so far all PMDG addons (except for the J41, I assume?) have had a 2D panel. The 777 is the first one to only have a VC. Quite a new situation, I would say. Although this was known before, now that it is released, I've read quite a few posts from people who would, at least, occasionally use the 2D panel.
  18. Would have loved to see a 777 2D panel. The 737 one is a true artistic masterpiece. Good thing I care more for the ´37 than I do for the Tripple 7.
  19. Love to see people fall for this feature! :biggrin: Would've probably fallen for it too if I hadn't seen it in a video before. :ph34r: Hope you didn't spill your Coke over the warning. Returning to the flight deck with Master Caution on is not good. AF 447 Captain would concur...
  20. Excellent, got the mail as well, probably set to buy an iPad now. I am looking at the mini version, but would love to hear some first-hand experience how it is in conjunction with Navigraph's new service. :smile:

    What!?!?!?

    I'd say USD 90 is a fair price for what is offered, and yet USD 90 is a lot of money (especially outside the Western hemisphere). It's nice to know you can afford to pay that price easily -- but it wouldn't hurt to acknowledge somebody else maybe can't.
