Tnx for the help guys, got the map !

Tnx guys will try this asap !

Hi guys, Hope someone can help me but I am not able to show the airport on the ND. I have read the EFB manual, created the DB for the first time. When I am on an airfield I zoom in on the airfield like 1.0, but I never see a map... What am I missing here? Or maybe point me in some direction as I am totally clueless now... ooh yes, btw VIDEO does not work on FSX - EFB ? kind regards

euh..EFB with real GPS signal receiver on tabblad, smartTV ?

I think it is PMDG's own EFB...debuting in the 747-8

I need those jpg's too...where are they ? how can I see them ? Please help

Positive rate is indication of a climb: Your VSI is positive indicating like 100, 200 ft or more + your Altitude indicator show you are gaining altitude...

Don't worry. Neither can I. That's why I use yoke and peddals

I had that too. What I did was I clicked on the spot where you can ARM the speedbrake in VC then again to disarm it. After that I could have my autobrake set to RTO (which before I couldn't and the knob would spring back to OFF) I was am happy again

You can set the option for showing CLB resp. CRZ in the FMC (read introduction manual) and is truly a airline option FLCH = Flight Level Change where the autopilot will command a CLB thrust setting and tries to maintain the speed you have set (pitch for speed) IF you don't want to use FLCH then use VS mode

Kevin, Tnx for the reply and clarification I thought the loading was similar to GSX and I started to doubt with the old 747 if one could see the container on the loader. Anyway, I do see the cargo inside the acft

I had, but didn't see the cargo actually being loaded from the cargo vehicles...hence my question But sorry for asking

anyone ?

Go into your CH configuration manager With the pedals select the axis that does the braking. Then you can set (by clicking the buttons) whether your axis is linear. But you can also make it more like a soft "S" line. By changing the values so the axis is more shaped like a stretched "S" the result is the following: gradually increasing the pressure. This means that if you accidentally put your feet on it or push the brakes for a second your hardware will ignore this input. With this I have had no problem: clue is to setup the hardware in the CH control manager. (I am at work so I can't show any pictures unfortunately) .. Let us know if you succeed

Hi, I was wondering if the cargo loaders actually loads up the containers in to the airplane ? if so, I must have missed this part (doing the preflight). How do you trigger the loading then? simply by changing the cargo volume in FMC ? Dieter

The ops never suggested a new frame. I can upload a new livery (*.ptp file) maybe then he asks for a new frame number? But from within FMC you cannot create a new airframe correct ?

Hi Keith, I came to the same conclusion...maybe someone from PMDG can help further but for now it seems we have to do it like you described Thanks for replying! Dieter

Maybe to clarify even more: For example you could set one set of options for the N744PM setting, then manually make changes and save the file as N744PM2.ini --> where do you find the LSK to save it ?

Hello Everyone, I was trying to figure out how I can create a new airframe, but it is not clear to me on how to do that when reading the introdcution.pdf (yes, I do read manuals) The idea: FSX 747-400 is loaded with the airframe N744PM. I decided to make a few changes. Now I want to save them those changes to another yet non-existing airframe OO-KPM How do I manage that ? So how do I create - if possible - a new airframe from within the FMC ? and if not possible from FMC how else ? The manual states airframes that exists, how to change them but (or I completely am missing this) not on how to create it. Please advice kind regards, Dieter

Yes. This is what happens I start FSX, then TRack IR (or the other way aournd - that doesn matter) I make sure that my head movement is centered = I try to keep my head still for a moment and look straigt forward, push my joystick button which is coupled to the track ir CENTER function. Then I look left right middle to see that everything works. Then I press the pause key (Track IR function coupled to another button) I put my headset down to continue with the rest of the preflight. When I am about to taxi I put the headset on de-pause it and re center... and I can look around how I like. So the 2 buttons I need are pause and center and voilà: done ! Hope this helps

Well I don't know, but I sure hell gonna try it.

...

My god ! This actually works !

ok, first off thank to all for helping out. second, I checked my control panel and (installed programs) only to find out I had 2 versions installed. Uninstalled everything (GSX + Coautl), dowloaded again and reinstalled GSX again. Now it works fine. Thanks again and merry Xmas

It was PMDG related with GSX and another previous post about this topic was also posted
