I was thinking about the gears too, though that would be a first, since I've flown on A319, 737(200/300/400/800), 727, Dc-10, 777-200, Md-11, Fokker 100 and never heard that noise.

I have a question relating to real world aviation. It is a stupid question, but it has been bugging me ever since. I've arrived in Sao Paulo in an Airbus A340-300 from TAP, and before landing, i heard two big THUDs. Well, the sound is comparable as to what you hear when you are inside a car, speeding on a highway and you pass over a small ondulation on the road. For example, when they are replacing the asphalt, and the difference between the new one and the old one, usually will have a few inches of a bump. Or when you go over a bridge, and there is a small space between the bridge and the main road. I have been mulling about this for a while, since I never heard it happening before.Does someone know what it could be?

Everyone forgot about the thirdwire series, Strike Fighters! It's cheap, has tons of addons, dynamic campaign, and great support! http://www.thirdwire.com/The best of all? you get to fly in F-14's, Phantom's and even Super Sabre's! Yeah, this sounds like a promo post, but trust me, it is worth every penny!Ricardo de Paula

Maybe this real world report might helphttp://www.avherald....=438188a8&opt=0 Ricardo de Paula

Well according to the news source posted by the OP, it won't be a problem if there is a fire, in fact, it will be better than aluminum. Ricardo de Paula

The only thing good it might come out of a ETOPS failure would be a Trijet a la L-1011 or Dc-10/MD-11, then again, that is just wishful thinking of my part. The chances are it will never happen(the trijet bit) :Big Grin:Ricardo de Paula

What worries me even more is the" live" feature. I have a few games with it, and it is the most atrocious little thing I've ever seen. Fallout(3) games are easy to mod, but you need to disable "live" to be able to use many mods. GTA4, you also have to disable "live" to be able to mod it... In fact, every time they released a patch for GTA4 we had to wait weeks for someone to crack "live" and disable it so we could continue using mods. For example, I've lost my saves from Dirt 2, and guess what. I can't download a save file somewhere, so I have to start from scratch if I want to race a specific track.When they release updates, if you opt to update the game using "live", it will take you the eternity to download, and with no progress track or even how much you are downloading. I'm not even going to mention the constant bugging to login. I'll still wait and see, but nothing will stop me worrying about things like that.

Sadly, I keep having the black screens when I try to access a menu, like seeing the flight planner, it has a heavy probability that the screen will become black. I've tried every uiautomationcore.dll, even the 6.0.6001.18000.I used to counteract this by having printed most of the radios and CRS for auto landing, and other details, but since I can't find the folder where the paperwork is, I'm having to use the flight planner to see it. Actually, anything that requires for the background to be black to display the options menu will cause this, from pmdg options to other addons as well. Today I had to load my FSX 2 times to do a flight, the first time the blackscreen popped up after I tried to fill in the MD-11 tank using the pmdg menu, then the second one by using the flight planner. Thankfully saving the flight helped, so I could at least restart where I left off(Approach). And after landing I went to check something on the PMDG Md-11 load manager by minimizing and when I returned...black screen.Is there anything else besides the uiautomationcore.dll that can help me solve this? I'm using my fsx.cfg with flushed shaders(3.0) and what http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html suggested(Bojote is a genius)ricardo de Paula

The new color reminds me of the old launch color from the 747-100Ricardo dePaula

the vc rain issue, and the weather system so we can use weather radar.

Do you guys have any opinion,word or anything that could be developed by pmdg on regards of the G19 and G15 keyboards? This is more of a curiosity than a request,so no need to lose your hair follicles in this :smile:Ricardo de Paula

The L-1011 would one of those great addons everyone wants, but unfeasible. What I think might be a good logical solution for them would, even with the other planes in development, would be the MD-10. A quick cash-cow expansion using the MD-11. Though the 717 would be great,they've already said it was a no-no, they are too busy doing other things...but we can dream, can't we?Ricardo De Paula

It's already out the 777 http://www.avsim.com/pages/0901/pmdg_fly_777/pmdg_fly_777.htmlDidn't you know? Sorry, had to make a harmless joke, because I couldn't pass it up.. :( :( :( B) B) Ricardo de Paula

Wow, is that plane the real thing? Every time I look at the pictures, I think it is a real plane!

I don't have the tendency to watch those TV programs, because there is a lot of nothing and barely any science. Smetimes, when there's nothing to watch, I may give a glance or two. I do like the Mayday! or Air Crash investigation that shows up in National Geographic, Monsters Inside me and Engineering Connections. Though I love top gear for their stunts, because personally I don't have much interests for cars. :(
