  1. For what it's worth here is the entry in my QuantumLeap.ini file. Note the back slash at the end of the line item. (Don't know if that makes a difference.) Navdata E:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\PMDG\NAVDATA\
  2. I agree with the other posters! FYI, the KIAD AFCAD I have is dated Oct 2019. (Using P3DV4.5!)
  3. Topic Title Change suggestion: " PMDG "end of Life" for P3D products JUNE 30"
  4. I will "confess", at the outset, to being a Star Wars fan! Nevertheless in my opinion, Jar Jar Binks was, without question, the "worst" and most “useless” character in all of the original Star Wars films!
  5. I did a bit of "research" earlier today and what I found only adds to the conundrum. The "AFCAD" for the Aerosoft EDDF Scenery(Ver 2.0.6) I installed in May lists one freq each for RWY 07L, 25R and RWY 07R, 25L. My PMDG ARPT_RWY.dat file (dated 8/17/2016) lists two ILS freqs (Y and Z) for RWY 07L and two ILS freqs (Y and Z) for RWY 25R. The current Navigraph Lido charts for EDDF list two ILS freqs for RWY 07L (Y & Z) and two ILS freqs for RWY 25R (Y and Z). The ILS Z chart includes DME information. ILS Y chart does not. The Navigraph SIDSTAR file for EDDF (both AIRAC 1608 and the current 1609, includes three(3) ILS approachs (X, Y, and Z) for RWY 07L and the same for RWY 25R. The file also includes two(2) ILS approachs (X and Z) for RWY 07R and the same number for RWY 25L. ALL of these are listed as ILS Rwy's in the FMC EDDF Dep/ARR pages.
  6. Editing without deleting engine hours sounds reasonable to me. Thanks Kevin.
  7. Although I have not noticed any issues, I just checked and found simliar incorrect state.cfg entries. Not unreasonable to presume they are somehow related to aircraft installation (all of mine were been done using the PMDG Op Center). Deleting and letting them rebuild does raise a question or two for me. What program/function, in or outside of FSX, uses these files and maybe we should just "ignore" the state.cfg files. Kevin, Found your helpful comments on this subject from waaay baaack in Nov 2014. http://www.avsim.com/topic/427250-livery-request-lufthansa-cargo-777-freighter/page-4
  8. Hi Kyle, Per Navigraph, as of June 22, starting with cycle 1607, terminal and enroute charts are updated monthly to match AIRAC Cycles. This includes both the Desktop, Cloud, and IOS and Android devices. Claude
  9. Yes, it is a puzzle. Great idea. Could be better designed. Glad you were able to make it work.
  10. I have one and the short answer to your question is "Yes, but" doing so could (will?) be a challenge. The Tilt Base has two sides, an open top frame and the removable front panel. The TQ6 must be attached to the top frame of the base first and then the whole unit is attached to the Flight Desk Console (FDC). The side panels have holes at the bottom that allow attachment to the FDC. There ain't much space to work with here. FYI, the front of the Tilt Base is about 2" high and the rear approx 1" high.
  11. Happened yesterday. Saw the circle depicted on the ND about 50 miles prior. Don't recall if it changed shape, in part because I Armed and exited the HOLD without completing a full circuit.
  12. Wilhelm, Thanks, however no hurry for me. I happen to have an old RJAA Jeppesen chart dated June 2008 that reflects the FSX default markings.
  13. And sometimes taxiway markings get changed as well. Case in point, RJAA which I rarely use. A few days ago I was attempting to navigate the taxiways at night following the latest Navigraph chart and got hopelessly lost. Why? Because in the real world, RJAA significantly changed its taxiway markings a couple of years ago. The FSX default RJAA, even with Ray smith's update, still reflects the earlier and very different taxiway markings.

  15. Well said Robert. The world and the flight sim community has indeed lost a unique and special individual.
  16. Congratulations Kyle! Deserved for sure. We all will benefit even more from your knowledge, insight, and dedication to helping. Kudos to you and PMDG. All the best...

    Kyle, Your explanation and description is most informative. And looking at the Capital SID really does help. I suspected IAD did not fit the "general rule" you described earlier for "paired runways" given where the terminal is relative to the runways. Thanks again. Regards
  18. ClaudeF replied to patrico's topic in PMDG 777
    Would this apply to IADs 1C/19C and 1L/19R? Thanks Kyle.

    I have FSDT JFK Ver 2 (released April 2013) and it does include an ILS for RWY 04L (110.9). Perhaps there is something different in FSDT JFK Ver 1. Interesting how the ILS frequencies for 04L/22R and 04R/22L are assigned at JFK: 04L (110.9) / 22R (109.5) 04R (109.5) / 22L (110.9) There are real Terminal Procedure ILS or LOC RWY plates for 04L, 04R, and 22L. There is only an ILS for 22R. It is my understanding that most of the time 04L/22R are used for take offs and 04R/22L for landings.
  20. . The same question occurred to me the other day. Thank you for that info
  21. I believe Robert is based in the Washington, DC area.
  22. According to a post by Armen Cholakian. PMDG Sound Engineer on the Dev Team you won't. "Looks like a typo on the Operations Center - The 5.1 sounds are for the cockpit / interior..." http://forum.avsim.net/topic/447026-pmdg-777-300er-surround-sound-51/?p=3037420
