Have you selected a Departure RWY and also entered the ZFW, Cost Index in the Perf Page?

BA to paint a 747-400 in a retro BOAC livery. https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2019/01/21/british-airways-to-paint-b747-with-retro-boac-livery/

Have you got the STAB Fuel Tank option selected in the options menu?

Ticket sent to PMDG. PMDG have said airport depiction is correct of the airport on ND in PLN MODE as it is a North Up display but the MAG HDG being incorrect is a bug and being looked at to be fixed.

Will do. Thanks Dan, will look tomorrow

There’s half of one at the top in PLN mode, the same as Map mode.

Ok fair enough, I don’t really understand it though so won’t use it, just don’t understand how a heading indicator stays at 002MAG when the plane is turning through 180 degrees turn

I did in the options try changing heading from heading up to track up but made no difference. I can’t understand though how the heading indicator doesn’t move when the aircraft is and the compass rose that is showing in PLN mode is completely wrong. Would be appreciated if you could have alook on your sim.

Perhaps I’m reading the display incorrectly. If I am it seems very confusing having headings that don’t move, compass rose headings that do and both showing them as incorrect.

Hi. Wondering if this is a problem with my panel states or Possible bug. I’ve tried with Cold & Dark and Short and a custom panel I have made. Flying on the 747-400 British Airways, and Virgin Atlantic liveries. I’m on the RWY 08R at EGKK. The normal Map display is showing the correct heading of 079. When I switch to PLN mode to review my Flight Plan the the HDG is showing 002 MAG and the compass rose display is showing the RWY at about 130 degrees. If I go back to MAP and then press CTR to get the full compass rose then back to PLN the RWY 08L is showing it’s on a heading of 150 degrees and the heading indicator is still showing 002MAG. Making the aircraft move and in flight makes the compass rose move but not the heading indicator. Am I missing something and reading the display wrong or could someone please check if they are seeing the same thing and is indeed incorrect. Thanks

That will teach you to be helpful or friendly in a PMDG forum!!!!😂

If your using aircraft such as PMDG try reducing the amount of lights you have switched on in the aircraft. I leave off Taxi light and RWY Turn Off Lights when on the RWY and only use half the landing lights, then when Taxing just have the Taxi light on. See if that helps. Having all the lights switched on kills my frames and I get terrible stutters.

I purchased the DD Tenerife South. a few months ago. There was a fault with some of the rock textures around the airport. DD sent me a file to get it looking right. Hopefully that file is included in the main download when purchasing. If you purchase and the scenery doesn’t look right E-Mail them, they were very quick with the response which was good. Good scenery well worth the money.

Had you put a lower altitude into the MCP for the Autopilot to start descending to before TOD?

Try switching both Flight Directors off then back on again.

No I don't think so, I guess that's the answer to my question. Will change the option to have it installed and see if that makes the weights correct. Thanks for your reply

Hi. According to the FCOM page 10.2 Limitations Section the passenger variant Max Take Off Weight is 394.625KGS On the Payload screen of the FMC it shows a Max T/O weight of 385.6 KGS a shortfall of 9000 KGS. Also there is a small difference in the MAX ZFW. FCOM says 244.9 KGS and the max you can enter via the FMC is 242.7 KGS. If anyone knows why this is, especially the 9000KGS difference in Max T/O weight I would be interested to know.

I’m finding Orbx KSAN, has terrible performance with Dynamic Lighting enabled if you are taxiing around the terminal / apron area at night. Ok when on the runway but as soon as you go in to the area where there’s lighting I’m getting stutters.

Check auto save function isn’t enabled in FSUIPC

If users are updating they can always revert back to the original if it’s not too there liking. As for new customers it always has been a case of how new software will run with a particular setup, so I’m just saying how I’ve found it. With the known issues with DL in P3D I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just me and my setup that is having a problem.

I’m finding that when taxing around the airport at night with the Dynamic Lighting option enabled in the FlyTampa config Tool, as soon as the aircraft goes on area of the apron that has lighting (parking stands area) I’m getting terrible stutters. All ok using the FSX Polygon lighting option. I had been seeing the excellent results with P3D V4.3 D/Lighting at FlyTampas Corfu, Dubai, Athens so this Kai Tak upgrade left me a little disappointed with the DL performance. The rest of the scenery though looks amazing.

In NI try these settings to see if it helps. Antialiasing section. change Ant setting to 8xSQ Chsnge Ant Transparency SuperSampling to 2x sparse Grid super sampling. Texture Filtering Section change A Filtering mode to user-defined/ off change A filtering setting to 16x

It's the Farnborough Airshow in the UK this week, lots of new aircraft orders are placed there. "HOPEFULLY" we may get lucky and order is placed for the 747-8i. Come on British Airways order a few!!!!😁

It was announced quite a while ago now. Cant even remember which post it was announced in so can’t send you a link to it, but yes PMDG are leaving AVSIM.
