  1. Hi Auswiko Thanks for the link, just what I wanted Bill
  2. Thanks for your replies guys I can only find 2 on YouTube, one is a voice over on cockpit start up procedures by Maaddmike which is very good, and the other is a start up with out voice over by Jimbo99full. To me this aircraft is in a par with PMDG & LDS767 for systems and what makes it more exciting is that it is military and can go places that PMGD and LDS can't. It is a pity more tutorials and procedures were not produced by some of the very knowledgeable and talented people in the community. At least I have a starting point. Thanks again for your help Bill.
  3. Hi allWondering if there are any tutorials or docs anywhere for this aircraft. The manual supplied by Justflight and the CS pdf supplied are good but as usual with most manuals you are told what instraments do but not how to apply them and how to fly the aircraft.Can anyone please tell me if there are any and where to get them.ThanksBill
  4. Thanks MikeGot it in the folder you said it wasBill
  5. Hi mikeYes, talking about YouTube and Flash player, sorry about the spelling.Every thing works fine with Google Chrome, Cant find any reference to explorer 32 on my systemI upgraded from Vista 32 with a clean install. Don't know if that makes a difference.Bill
  6. Hi allJust installed win 7 64bit so that I don't get any more OOMs but can'nt view Utube.I have found out that flashplayer doesn't run on 64 bit operating systems and to get it to work I need a 32bit explorer. I cant figure out how to get a 32 bit explorer to work in win 7. I have D/L a 32 bit explorer from Microsoft but it cant install on a 64 bit system. I cant find any solutions on the MS forums. The explorer in win 7 is for 64bit onlt.Can anyone help with thisThanksBill
  7. Is the 64 and 32 bit on the same disk or is the 64 version on either the home premium, professional or ultimate version
  8. Hi allconsidering purchasing, good deals on pre orders at Amazon.One question. What version is the 64 thanksBill
  9. Hi AllAre there any Callout programs, payware or freeware, that can be uses with aircraft that dont have the callouts. Apart from FScrew which only has callouts for certain aircraftThanksBill
  10. Hi MarkusThanks for pointing me in the correct direction, yes I am using the wrong tutorial. I now have to print the correct one and start practising again.Thanks againBill
  11. Thanks for the replies guysGary, My tutorial showes "Full Pax" indicated Nr 2 in the load manager diagram, and also in the text below it mentions "Full Pax"Markus,Thanks for the info. I was,nt sure if this bank and pitch degree was normal. Since my post I have found out if the plane is climbing faster than indicated on the speed tape, the nose is inclined to pitch up to slow it down.Thanks again.Off to practice more takeoffsBill Dickson
  12. Hi AllI have been learning the tutorial mothodically and have the FMC set up as in the tutorial. My question is this, when I takeoff and engage the AP and Prof at the specified heights the airplane banks at 25 deg and pitches up to 25 deg to follow the way points. To me this is not correct it, is like a fighter jet. I have tried setting the bank angle, but at every way point it banks at 25 deg. Is this the correct performance.Another query I have is the configurator. The weights obtained when setting up for full pax mixed are drastically different from the tutorial. They are:-ZFW 195.041ZFWCG 23.1TOGW 271.36TOCG 25.1.These are the weights I have entered into the FMC, not the weights in the tutorial.I have the 1.2 version for FSX.Can any one advise me on the aboveThanksBill Dickson

  15. Got it sortedI found out that I can access the PMDG options if I am in windows mode and then when I have selected the option I want I swich back to full screen..Bill Dickson
  16. Hi allI am running the 737s with FS9 in vista 32 with a Nvidia 8800GT 512mb cardMy problem is that I can't use the PMDG options drop down menu in the toolbar.When I click on any of the PMDG options my screen goes black and the options that I want are there but behind the black screen. When I press the windows key on my keyboard I get back to my desktop but when I click on FS9 to restore it I am back to the blank screen. I want to access the airline options but because of this I cant. This issue only occurs with the PMDG 737.I don't know if this will have any bearing on the matter, but when I load my flight I get a sound from my system like a pop up blocker during the loading of the flight.Can you please help.Bill Dickson
  17. Hi allDeciding to return to FS9, more addons, beter performance & less problems with addon aircraft.I would like advice on a number of scenery addons.I have UT Europe, Ground enviroment pro 2 and Active Sky 6. What mesh would you recommend and is their any other scenery enhancements that can add to the graphics of FS9.Another request for advice.The ATC window keeps popping up with directions for all traffic, unlike FSX which only pops up with ATC information for your flight. I like the pop up for info for my flight only. can this be done.Also the ATC voice is absolutly iritating, nothing like anyone from the UK. I have fiddled with the voices in the ATC menu but cant change it to a voice similar to the pilots voices. Is their an other program either payware or freeware that I can get.I will appreciate any advice you can give on these mattersThanksBill
  18. Hi all Thinking about buying the Ariane 737 pack for FSX.Read alot of not so good comments regarding activation and support.Has anyone any current experiences with Ariane, is it still as bad as the reports suggest, or has it improved.I am asking for comments because it is such an expensive add on, albeit appears to be worth itI will apreciate any comments.Regards Bill
  19. Hi allJust purchased Justflights 757 Captain.This bird is fantastic in all departments except one.When I save a flight and later use the saved flight The IRU switches on the OH are off. When I switch them back on I get a failure message, I understand this because it cant be set up when the plane is moveing, therefore the PFD and ND dont work, hence the flight is over and this means short haul flights only.I know there is a problem with FSX saving instrument states, but this is a major problem compared to all my other add on aircraft of which I can reset all the instruments.Can anyone give a solution to this.SpecsVista 32Dell XPS 4208800GT 512mb Graphics3gb ramBill
