One thing that keeps returning as a surprise is and I quote "... handed over control during the take off roll and had nothing to do until the landing flare except maybe raise and lower the landing gear." Who on earth ever told that if you give control to a computer you have to do "nothing" anymore ? even boeing states that the autopilot and all of its FMS functions are there to support the pilot, bringing automation into the flying so that some tasks are easier to be managed... Now, I am an IT guy and I can tell you that if there is one thing you should do, verify the computer (autopilot) it is responding well to your input. I don't think you do nothing, I do think your "managing" the aircraft thru automation and verification, that can also be very busy on departure / arrival.

yes go to your shop page first, then check your history of orders. I think download links and keys are there. (PMDG)

I think you can modify GSX from within the simulator thru menu and identify serviceable / operational doors. Please check the GSX manual for further details.

Hi, When I want to check the version of 777-200L/R (which is 1.10.6320) the OC says that it is unable to determine the version on the server. Is this normal behavior (maybe info is not yet availalbe on the server) or did my update went wrong (although everything seems to be running fine)..just wondering kind regards,

Kyle, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sorry if my post seemed to came across as...well not sure as what but wasn't received as positive that was for sure, but I had no intention to be offensive in anyway. Also, don't forget English is not my native tongue and stating "first.., Secondly, Thirdly.." was more like a memory checklist type out loud then an intention of being offensive. So after taking a deep breath and figuring that it might come across the wrong way, again I apologize and it was not my intention. Everything is updated now with your help of explaining what is exactly what. Next time I'll take a breath or 3 more... kind regard

i's not about arguing it is about understanding. Well I have downloaded the PMDG Operations Center, now it says 777 new updates but I have to install the full installer for it according to the instructions show on screen. From previuos post by PMDG they said : "If you are only running FSX - then this update isn't necessay for you" So it is not about arguing it is about understanding. Please help.

Hmm... just to be sure : OC = Operations Center right ? Second, I had OC with 737 NGX. Don't understand why you say only 777 drivers have it? Third, it was suggested to get the new OC (download it) because it it should support both FSX:MS & FSX:SE. : ".. This time, because of the changes we had to make to our installation process in order to account for FSX:SE- you will need to download the entire installer, fresh from our system..." and fourth, the OC I have now was installed seperatedly if I recall correctly. It can update itself, install liveries and so on... so I do consider this as a standalone software; So, to get back to the original questions: I do not need to download this new installer (OC) from PMDG site then ? - as it supports both FSX versions ? kind regards,

Hi, I am only using FSX:MS (so no steam edition). I was wondering thzt in the long run it might be better to install the new OC (that both platforms support) as I already see that SP1D has some clean up in it. Will FSX:MS only OC be continued to be supported ? (also in the long run?) Very confused about all this... Please advise PMDG ? Thanks. Dieter de Wit

+10 !

Same here. Most interested in the data collection part. Hope we'll see or hear more soon.

Yep, very interested too...

In the tutorial:  After you activate TO/GA, wait for THR REF to be annunciated and then push your physical joystick throttle fully forward, this prevents any mismatch between the throttle position and the A/T for the rest of the flight until descent. You might just want to read that document

I think it is in the tutorials somewhere but yes it is random after the before taxi checklist is complete. Can't recall exactly where and what by hart but have a look at the tutorial

Lol, I am not going to debate ITIL either, but... Incident : Cold & dark + ILS / FMC issue --> incident management : getting the user back up and running ASAP. workaround: use other state panel This incident must be raised as a "problem", hence problem management where dedicated resources (time, knowledge) investigates and provide solution (fix). This solution is presented to CAB - Change Advisory Board which is going to debate on the impact of solution viewing from operational point of view, release management etc with the stakeholders If agreed by CAB change can be deployed, release management can prepare the fix in a download package After package is downloaded and solution is installed, the cold & dark sate can be reused without the ILS/FMC bug. = problem solved.

Problem is not solved. Workaround is implemented.
