Foghorn

Did a re-install and the tyre issue is fixed. In my haste to try the Q400 the first time I may have been a bit rough landing and damaged the tires. As it appears this may be a future feature of the Pro version I'm assuming I've destroyed my tires, but with the Pro version not yet available, they can't be repaired by maintenance. Anyway, re-installing fixed that. The swaying seems to have eased with the re-install, but may have also been my weather program, OPUS, but I've been doing some tweaking. All up, I'm of the opinion the issues were mine, not the software and after some study it's fast become a favourite aircraft in my hangar. Thank you Glenn and Jazz for your inputs.

A fantastic aircraft and very impressed with it, but a few issues perhaps someone may be able to point me in the right direction. For some reason, every now and again, the aircraft sways from left to right. Enough to the point where is it unable to capture the localiser, and if already captured, then disconnects. It is also associated with a rattling noise, presumably, the elevators. I thought it may have been my weather program, Opus, but I've disabled it and the problem still occurs. The other issue is my aircraft appears to destroy it's tyres. Start up a new flight, view the aircraft in spot view and some of the wheels are on their rims only, while others have their tyres hanging off them. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers

PMDG did announce they will support the NGX for P3D.....In light of that I find the question quite reasonable. I do wish some people in these forums try to decide which questions they find necessary, reasonable, informative. If people don't like a thread, move onto the next. It isn't difficult.......

Reasonable I would have thought.....

From reading your post it appears your missing the continuous click. Sorry, couldn't help myself......

Not sure of your experience level......You have raised the landing gear, retracted flaps and spoilers?

Thanks Ralph, very informative. Best of luck with your other videos....I'll be watching.

I haven't flown online for a few weeks and others can probably eleborate better, but I'm pretty sure you simply enter the new approach/STAR as per the initial setup. This will probably give to two STARS in the CDU flightplan. Then just click on button next to the first fix of the new STAR, then click on the button next to the first fix of the STAR your trying to replace, click on ENTER on the scratchpad......I think that should do it. Give you something to go on until you get a better reply.

Try PFPX, it exports the flight plans into .rte and .pln formats. The only issue is the PMDG flightplans folder is incorrectly named. I savee them to the 777 flightplans, then copy them into the NGX737 folder. You can then load the flightplan into the NGX as a CO route.....

Not sure about PFPX with the fuel. I recently tried YSSY - KLAX, Sydney to Los Angeles and had to land in Honolulu, even tho I took an extra 5000kgs.......

If the approach is tight, try reducing your airspeed as much as possible/practical. This will mean a high flap setting...... Just a quick two bobs worth.........

On a more serious note have you tried changing the head position in the flight deck using the key sequences of which I can't recall off the top of my head, but it may be ctrl-backspace, the opposite being alt-ctrl-backspace. These may be incorrect but others may know the correct keys. Using them you can change the head position from up/down, to and fro.......

The chair can be removed by undoing the four bolts on the floor............

I don't think you'll find it's related at all to the speed or OC of the processor. If it was the pc would either lockup or most likely totally shutdown.......I wouldn't be thinking it would slow......

Silly bugger, you went the wrong way, otherwise it would have only taken 5 hours and 7 minutes. :-)

I'm sure I read this was to be a fix with a service update.

Happy you said that as I was finding the same problem as the OP. You may well be correct, but I'd question what is the point at all of entering forecast winds into the FMC if they are ignored. It would make the excercise futile woudn't it?

Is anybody able to offer an explanation of the PRR 61998-2 which pertain to the center fuel pump switches as per FCOM 1, page 228? -200 is either 7,500 pounds / 3,400 kgs where not -200 is 10,500 pounds / 4,800 kgs.

Call me a sceptic, but i think it has more to do with buy them from PMDG and pay the exuberant freight costs, if you don't live in the USA, or don't have a printed copy at all. It's never been a problem printing in the past so I fail to see this is about Boeing.

The one time I had a problem with slow climbs with PMDG aircraft, when I looked at the aircraft externally, the gear wasn't up. You sure you're landing gear is retracted?

Almost like a holding point with zero time at NUMBO. I'd be checking the FMC Legs page to see what happens at NUMPO other than an ordinary crossing.

Found my issue being the mic not turned on, when starting in a cold & dark environment, but right from the start my Comms increment by 0.025 increments, not 0.25. I don't think this helps you, but it may give some idea where to start looking for an answer......

I can't get the T7 to change the radio freq in Vatsim / Sqawkbox full stop.........

Ditto...... You probably have a keystroke, or other input clashing with the control you're attempting to use. Cheers

Same here Petrsurf. I've bought many a product over the internet from the US, a considerable amount from Goflight, and the shipping is no where near what is quoted for the PMDG products. I seem to recall the problem not being with PMDG, but the US couriers. Having said that, however, other internet retailers don't have anywhere near similar freight charges. I'm not sure it's a weight related issue either. I've had many an article, similar weights to a PMDG manual, at much lower costs...... Cheers
