Hey, Does anyone yet have a fix which allows the RealityXP GNS430 to actually show the screen of the unit in the VC. Currently the screen just stays back, and the GPS is only useable in the 2D popup. Cheers!

Yes, Air Canada along with some other 777 operators have the Honeywell weather radar (RDR-4000 with Intervue3D), the one that PMDG have decided to model is the Collins WXR2100 (which is more popular compared to the more expensive Honeywell system). WXR-2100 Control Panel: RDR-4000 Control Panel:

Besides the WXR, I got slightly excited because I thought I saw Radius-To-Fix legs on the ND matching the Abbortsford RNP 07 departure....but then I realised it's the right airport but not the right departure... :lol: B) ... Me thinks about having latest ARINC format in PMDG buses :Drooling: :Drooling:

Should be the same as they run both aircraft on the same flight briefing software. Some FIR's/ANSP's require different things under NAV (such as RNP4 or GPSRNAV etc), so this is something to keep in mind. Just check in the countries AIP for flight planning requirements, however the basic Field 18 layout should be the same. Field 10 equipment changes on aircraft (i.e. newer delivered aircraft might not have ADF installed for example).

Hi, Here is a DL plan from the FAA AISR/NADIN system, from early 2013. FF KZLAZRZX 060626 KATLDALQ (FPL-DAL1428-IS -B738/M-SDE2E3GHIRWXZ/S -KLAS0715 -N0449F390 DCT BCE J100 EKR DCT BFF J94 OBK DCT LFD DCT CRL J584 ZORBO DCT SLT J584 FQM DCT LVZ LENDY6 -KJFK0404 KBDL -PBN/A1B1C1D1O1S1T1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 REG/N3771K EET/KZLC0022 KZDV0040 KZMP0142 KZAU0214 KZOB0254 CZYZ0303 KZNY0331 SEL/ABEF RMK/ NRP

I knew this would be the case....While it is a shame, it certainly doesn't come as a suprise.

I lurrrrve this post! Made the first day of 2014 that much better..

When AUTO is selected on the altitude selector outer knob (with the other option being 1000), the behaviour as you explained will occur.

Pretty sure the developers at PFPX are currently working to put one of their wind block formats to match that of PMDG's requirements - I am sure it will be out rather soon. Most of the other weather client developers are already on board, both AS and Opus are now supported, with FSGRW currently developing theirs (and I anticipate that the build would be released also relatively soon).

Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services which gives QANTAS (minus the U)... B) ....Oh if I had a dollar for everytime someone spelt it wrong. :Money Eyes: :Money Eyes:

Noticed its Flap 15 only (probably because thats what the PMDG FCOM includes). PM me if you want some data for other flap settings aswell.

LOL, yeah I did (posted that while I was at work). Just thought I remembered seeing it in a powerpoint presentation addressing the differences between the -200 and -300.. Oops! :blink:

Thought it was in the 300ER only.

Just remember that one of the conditions for auto v-speeds is that the ADIRU is alligned (as someone mentioned above).

Pretty sure ADF's are permantely disabled on the -F model. Only available on the pax version. Would be cool to include an option in the CDU in the future B)

From PMDG support;

Video of the issue. Cold and Dark, caution light stuck after overspeed issue due to OpusFSX windshift. Also submitted to the PMDG support database incase no-one else did.

Good work chaps! :im Not Worthy: :Hug: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

I am seeing slightly better performance than the NGX.

Please don't tell me they have already ran out of terminal space and are now boarding flights via stand-off bays aswell. I thought they have a 1.7 million square metre terminal at their hands.

Which unfortunately is only AS2012. The data is available, but not in the EXACT same format. For example, PFPX has the data (wind & temps @ FL's), but it isn't presented in the exact same format.. Guess I will have to write a script.

IIRC, All of UA's new 900's are being shipped with the PFD/ND instead of the EFIS/MAP display setup now. They also have relevant CBT training detailing the differences which is produced by a company called CPaT. All the Southwests NG's got converted when they went for full RNP approval. I think their classics are also being fitted out with EADI/EHSI (or PFD/ND if you want to say so).

Well it surely is a suprise to me, but it isn't the main one that everyone has been talking about. The big suprise is something outside the airplane (outside the cockpit I think?) I will be dissapointed though if only AS2012 is supported, many users have now moved to superior weather programs in FSGRW and OPUS.

Just watching Froogles "Fully Loaded" video and noticed it is possible to copy the wind block data from AS2012, chuck it in a notepad file, name it the same as the co-route (but put .wx instead), and the enroute winds will be downlinked into the FMC (well actually I am assuming so, I haven't actually watched the rest of the video yet only the first few minutes where he chucks it in a notepad file. I am just assuming what will be in the future of the video ^_^ ). My question is does this support other weather clients aswell, mainly Opus? Opus uses GRIB data (and I believe this data is available from a notepad file somewhere) so I assume it would be possible to use...and as you know, GRIB data is what is used by airline's flight planning software and hence downlinked to the aircraft when the wind data is requested via ACARS. ...anyway super cool feature.. No longer will I develop RSI (nearly wrote RSR instead ha) from putting them in manually! :lol: B)
