That's right. Thank you. I must have overread that in the manual, it's under Procedures/Cold Weather Procedures. If you choose CONTAM – CLD PROC (N), (the "N" for "No") the PNF will set the flaps as usual during the after start flow. If you choose CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y),(the "Y" for "Yes") the PNF will wait for a visual inspection of the flaps after possible de-icing procedures and thus set the flaps just prior to departure. Kind regards, Dennis

Hello, I did a few flights in adverse weather conditions these days and noted that the PNF will not set flaps 2 or flaps 3 if so entered in the MCDU. If I have a flap setting of 1, everything is fine and the PNF will set flaps to Config 1+F. Is this wanted/normal? Thanks. Dennis

That's why I asked and said "I thought it was..." I understand that different companies have different checklists. I do not want the developers to make anything unrealistic (if you let aside that it is unrealistic to sit alone in a "cockpit" where you can't just scan around and see whether anything looks unnormal :wink: ). Regards, Dennis

Really? Without a checklist at cruise level? I thought it was imperative that you checked all systems when on cruise... Otherwise I cannot rely on my copilot anymore and that would really be a pitty. I like the product. Would some sort of configuration make sense where you could choose between a "lean" and a "full" checklist or something like that? Thanks, Dennis

Hello, I have come very accustomed to flying with my copilot. I have one problem though which I would like to suggest for a future update: Can the fuel pumps be included in the appropriate checklist prior to departure? (Personally, I would even favor a short checklist when reaching cruise altitude - just to remind the PF to check if all systems are working correctly - I write this knowing that Aerosoft has not included any faults in this simulation). My problem is: I work so closely with my artificial colleague that I often forget to do things he does not tell me to. The problem here is that Aerosoft has not modelled the fuel pumps to cause a malfunction when switched off. That means: If you do not switch on your fuel pumps, the aircraft flies without consuming any fuel. While this would be a brilliant invention in real life - in virtual life it means that my MLW is way too high when I land. Since I fly for a virtual airline, I get (massive) penalty points for that. If you could include a short check of the fuel pumps, I would be very grateful indeed. Thanks a million, Dennis

I don't know how many times I have tried to teach the Windows voice recognition to accept "niner". It just doesn't work. So, for a future update (and future products), I would really appreciate if this could be added. Thanks. Dennis

Hello, I absolutely LOVE your product, wouldn't want to fly without my copilot anymore :wub: Thanks for all the effort! However, would it be possible to make him/it understand "niner" for "nine" as well? When I fly online, I just repeat the ATCo's instruction and he/it does only understand "nine". That would be great. Thanks, Dennis

Hello, I've read that PMDG is working on a version 2 of the 747-400 in FSX. My question is: will it be possible to use the textures from v1 planes for v2 as well or will everything have to be repainted again? The reason for my question is that I paint for a VA and would not really like to do the same work twice. So any insight into this would be much appreciated. Thanks a million. Kind regards, Dennis

Please, disregard. It's my old Photoshop version. Maybe a moderator can delete this topic? Thanks.Dennis

Hello everyone,I would like to use the PMDG MD-11F paintkit in Photoshop for FS9. Whenever I try to open the PMDGMD-11F_Fuse_Right [or _Left].psd, photoshop announces that it detects unknown data in the "Night Windows" layer which are to be discarded. It then tells me that some layer sets were damaged and have been repaired.The left fuselage looks rather normal but has only three layers: Master Textures, Base and Layer 1.The right fuseslage is completly black with only the windows visible.Is it my problem? Something wrong with the paintkit? Anybody know about this?Thanks for any help!Cheers,Dennis

Hello everyone!I use Philipp Stein's "Airbus A320 Style Audio Switch" gauge and can't hear the marker sounds. Switching it on/off works, both with the gauge and the standard FS9 key setting (Ctrl+3) but I can't hear the sound.Does anyone have a similar problem or an idea where the problem might lie?Thanks in advance,Dennis

[...] Drop me an e-mial with your purchase information and I'll take it from there [...]You got it. Thanks a million!Kind regards, Dennis

OK, after having completely reformatted the harddisk and reinstalled Windows and FS9, I tried it again. This time I get the following message during the installation process:"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."This is followed by "Internal Error 2350."And then the installer is rolling back the action.What can I do?Thanks & regards,Dennis

Hi Jim,I did a clean Windows install; my FS files are on another harddisk and have not been reinstalled. ActiveSky used to be on the C: drive, however.Regards,Dennis
