Thx for the fast answer!Was wondering because RAs and the HOLD page are discussed in the AOM..Regards,Matthias Hanel

Pushing the hold button should activate the holding-pattern page if a waypoint is highlighted, or another page if no wp is highlighted. This is what I read in the AOM. If I press the hold key, nothing happens- is the key non-functional or is this a bug?Also the TCAS is non-functional. Only if you press the TCAS-key; then you are able to see traffic, but if you change to another view (for example map v/l) the symbols disappear. Also no traffic-alert or RA is given, not by voice and not as a VS-command on the VSI. I guess there i a TCAS II installed, which gives RAs, because RAs are discribed in the AOM..But I guess this issue will be fixed in SP1.. I hope :( Regards,Matthias Hanelgives

True, the default key works. The AP quits, and the FD commands level wings and nose up.Regards,Matthias Hanel

A flight from EDDV to EDDM:EDDV DLE6G DLE L986 POVEL Z16 GALMA T703 LEKMI T105 VAMAS VAMAS1M then LANDU08 transition.I entered the items as followed when standing at ramp in EDDV:1. The route itself: EDDV DLE L986 POVEL.... EDDM2. The SID: DLE6G, chosen from the SID list (even if I enter the specific runway, all SIDs/STARs are displayed, not only for the runway i had chosen before- is this correct?)3. The STAR: VAMAS1M from the STARs list4. The transition: LANDU08, from the transition list for Rw08L5. I deleted the last 1 or 2 waypoints of the STAR, because they interfered with the routing of the transition: Routing would have been: STAR: VAMAS-LANDU-MIQ (as far as I remember) transition: LANDU-DM428-DM...so FPL looked like this: VAMAS LANDU MIQ LANDU DM428..I deleted MIQ and the second LANDU. In the following, the STAR/transition fixes appeared in one row below the route fixes, not that bit more to the right like they were before.Before initial approach controller told me to go dct LANDU; i couldn't find the fix in the D-to pages (but it was listed in the FPL-page). So I continued the planned route, and then should proceed dct DM425, which i a fix in the transition. Also this fix I couldn't find.I'll try to reproduce that, I'm just on ground to start another flight, until now the STAR/transition fixes appear on the D-to screen.Regards,Matthias Hanel

I got the following: Controller asks me to go direct to a waypoint which is part of a SID. Pressing the D-TO button brings up the screen with all the waypoints- but there is not a single one listed belonging to a SID or transition..? The FPL-page lists this waypoints, but I cant choose them for a direct-to.Regards,Matthias Hanel

Well I'll try that loading thing, thanks for your advice! Last 2 flights spoilers worked well with RPM 100%.. maybe this was the point (but if, is it correct that the spoilers don't deploy/ retract when RPM is not 100% ?)Two other issues that I recognized:The night lighting of the cabin: seems as there would be only a light in the back and one in the front (see pic); cabin lighting is turned on, off it's even darker.Is it correct, that if I turn the engines (or generators) off, batteries do not provide power to the panel illumination? Can't believe that there is always a GPU necessary to turn the cockpit lighting on ^^Regards,Matthias Hanel

They can't be deployed in flight.. but that information can be found in the manual..First, congrats to this great plane! This is the first PMDG-plane I've bought, and it's brilliant.I only got issues on the FMC:Sometimes it works as it should.Sometimes it can't be turned on (simply blank, without the yellow box)Sometimes only the FPL-knob works (which will be fixed, as i read)Another thing: I saved a flight with the J41 at ramp cold&dark. When I load it, engines begin running up..And: If I choose a J41 livery 1, load it and then try to load another J41 with livery 2 there's a CTD.Sometimes Spoilers don't deploy or retract (which has been fixed).Anyway, a great plane!Matthias Hanel
